Maybe the Jews of Malachi's time should have ignored the command he wrote to bring in the tithes and offerings. They used their hands to raise livestock and cultivate the crops that involved.

What is your theory of sin? I don't think I have ever heard that term before, but the concept is much discussed. Basically the question is: what determines sin? This is not nominitively about labeling or quantizing sins (though these may have to used as examples), but just our standard for...

By comparison, how could there be any outer darkness unless there is inner light?

I use a credit card. With the receipt I always know the cost/gallon, total cost, and amount of fuel. I always divide total cost by the cost/gallon to be sure it agrees with the amount before I calculate my mpg/tank... which is seldom that accurate in itself, but it can be used to get the actual...

is Charles Stanley still regarded as a Good Bible teacher? Not by me. I never listened to him very much anyway, but I do remember him saying approx. 15-20 years ago that a divorced man could not have an office like pastor, teacher, or deacon in the church. Then it happened to him, and I'm...

Yep. Nope. Then how could they know? Yep. Nope. Like what?

An ESPN poll among associated voters (unofficial, of course) says Griffin has a big lead. It would be surprising if he does win because the Heisman is a super-political thing in college football. That means you have to play the media, have exposure, get influential people talking about you...

Yes, it does boil down to $$$$$$$ for most bowls. One rather glaring manifestation of that circumstance this year is that Texas (7-5) is going to the Holiday Bowl, which is higher in the Big 12 'pecking order' that the Alamo Bowl, in which the B12 rep is Baylor (9-3), which soundly beat Texas...

"Our Quest for the King" I guess because I wrote it and I'm the only one who knows it ;)

Short of unusual developments, I see Alabama winning the NC game against LSU about, or almost, as narrowly as LSU won on Nov. 5. And LSU and their fans are going to say "Why didn't the first one count?" even though right now they seem to favor this matchup. They will say then the BCSNC should...

No. But my bias probably enters into this. I've hated Green Bay for about 44 years. Nevertheless, as I posted on another forum last week, I can see that they are beginning to lose that extra fraction-of-a-second by which they out-quuck their opponents earlier in the year. It's just too difficult...

Because when people clamour for term limits, most are talking about other representatives besides their own.

Would the vatican know the work of the devil even if he came and kicked them in the hotseat?

On a different site last week this was being discussed, and I did a little shallow research, and there was a thanksgiving mass near at a site near El Paso in 1598. Then someone else claimed there was some kind of t-g event even earlier in Saint Augustine (FA). Who knows? Maybe even Leif...

Did the original poster mean on this web site, or on others where KJVO is clearly the mode? I have been on some of those-- mostly years ago, as I got banned quickly from nearly all of them. So this is a subject I rarely post about anywhere. But I do agree that anger seems to characterize these...

That would mean 4 years without a possibility of changing federal elected offices. 4 or 6 year terms I'm okay with, but I do think the terms should be staggered. For example, half of all seats in the House of Reps are up for election in 2014, the other half in 2016. That gives a chance for...

Does prayer then really come down to just smalltalk with God? He has His will, and prayer wont' change it; we can ask for something and it won't be given unless He had already so decided, so the prayer didn't matter. This example should be as valid as any: "Hey, Lord, how's it goin? You know...

Character Doesn’t End at the Bedroom Door Is there a possibility that depends on whether one is going IN or OUT through it?

"My observations have been that many Christians are quick to defend being overweight..." I don't agree with the concept you're stating, although you might have meant something I would agree with-- that overeating and being lazy are sinful. Being overweight is just resulting evidence thereof...

Is it God's will that everyone be saved?-- all 7 billion +/- in the world now. So pray that all will be saved by tonight, 10 p.m. EST. If you then find out anyone ain't saved, then why would that be?
