Your warnings are theoretically valid, but no church is buying occult human skull drums to use in their worship services. So your zeal in ranting about this seem rather irrelevant. However there are electronic synthesizers whose circuit boards are configured in esoteric occult symbol designs...

While some contend that the mark of the beast is non-literal or spiritual, meaning a mental allegiance (forehead mark) or physical action devotion (hand mark), this seems unlikely to me, since you need the mark to buy and sell. This economic aspect points to a bar code, chip, implant, RFID...

He will not do that. All he does is repeat vague statements in a pompous manner that does not teach or edify anyone. On and on he goes, saying the same things, but never being specific.

I agree about the uselessness of arguing. You cannot reason anyone into faith. Debates with atheists are pointless, because Jesus said the cause of their unbelief is their love of darkness. They refuse to give up favorite sins. It is not that they do not have sufficient evidence for God’s...

“War is the health of the state" is a famous aphorism from Randolph Bourne's unfinished 1918 essay, "The State," arguing that wartime causes government power to expand rapidly, suppressing dissent, and fostering blind patriotism. Bourne believed war turns the state into the central arbiter of...

Fantastic answers! Thanks!

I might tell her that the red letter words of Jesus are extremely important, but so are the black letter scripture verses that tell us about Jesus. I might also ask her to quote a red letter verse from memory. John 1:1 and Romans 10:9 are black letter verses that immediately come to mind.

I rephrase it just for you, brother. Aside from His dying for your sins… What aspect of Jesus fulfilled your greatest need in life? What aspect of Jesus do you think of first when you contemplate Him? What aspect of Jesus most attracted you to Him when you responded to the gospel message and...

Proverbs 15:18 A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.

2 Timothy 2:23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. Proverbs 20:3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.

When my wife and I were searching for a new church to attend and serve in, we filled out the visitors card at each church we visited. We checked the box indicating we’d like a church representative to come to our home to explain the church. We were Baptists, but we explored Baptist, Nazarene...

Amen! Humans, all of them, are able to seek God. Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

The Seventh Day Baptists were first known as Sabbatarians, but the term Seventh Day Baptists was adopted by them in England soon after the Reformation. The Seventh Day Baptists do not claim an unbroken succession in the matter of church organization before the Reformation. At that time a...

Free will exists and is mentioned early in the Bible. God tells Cain he has the choice to do what is right or not. Cain is also advised to master sin, not let sin enslave him. Genesis 4 6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right...

Explain why you negate the holiness of God by saying He wills sin to happen. None of your quoted verses agrees with that position. Your claim that I do not know the true God is just another in a long line of your wild presumptions. I try to keep this discussion focused on scripture, but you...
