    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    The cup that Jesus asked the Father to take away from Him was the grave? In the Old Testament, the "cup" never signifies death. Cup frequently represents the fury and wrath of God poured out on wickedness. Thus, Jesus was hoping there might be some other way to redeem mankind. Jesus dreaded...

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    The possibility of Mary and Joseph teaching the Torah and Tehillim (Psalms) to the child Jesus hinges upon when the divine side of Jesus was obvious to Him. Age 3? Age 6? Age 12? Did Jesus discover His divinity by direct revelation by the Holy Spirit? Or when the young Jesus was reading the...

    Go out in Jesus Name

    But alleged “apostolic” tradition that contradicts the written Word must be rejected. The written Word of God is more reliable than any institution now, as it was also more reliable when the Pharisees enforced a temple tradition that had become corrupted. And when the alleged “apostolic”...

    Songs and Christian Liberty

    The decline of Christianity that I see is comprised of mega church pastors and youth ministry leaders being caught committing adultery and horrendous crimes against vulnerable young women. The Church Leaders website documents these items weekly. https://churchleaders.com/ Then there is the...

    AI has created a new religion

    With gullible humans looking to ChatGPT bots as romantic partners and omniscient guides to life, the Anti-Christ seems to have his tyrannical global system in place to force all humanity to worship him. To pave the way, a test religion has been developed...

    What Angels are NOT

    “For in the resurrection they [God’s children] neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are AS THE ANGELS of God in heaven.” Matt 28:30 This verse does not say angels cannot reproduce, it just says they do not get married. Now since marriage is intended for companionship, mutual...

    Slavery Numbers

    Cannibalism and child sacrifice have been the norm in some regions centuries ago. But because these acts were considered normal, common, and morally acceptable, does not mean I cannot brand them as evil. The golden rule applies to all, no matter what period of history they may inhabit. Slavery...

    Songs and Christian Liberty

    If God is using a type of music to spread the gospel, I’d be reluctant to call it evil or satanic. Even if you absolutely hate a type of music, it is better to say it is not edifying or it is not pleasing to you.

    Songs and Christian Liberty

    Male adornment is not directly commanded, but can be understood as being similar to how females are commanded to dress. 1 Timothy 2 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes...

    Songs and Christian Liberty

    I do not see how a suit and tie humbles anyone. While I like to dress up for church, I doubt that the audiences of the sermons of Jesus got all dressed up to hear Him. Many probably arrived dressed in their work clothes, as shepherds or other manual labor jobs. I do not see dressing up as...

    Songs and Christian Liberty

    @Charlie24 - If a guy came to your church, who was recently saved, and had face tattoos, piercings, facial hair, and a bun hair style, would he be allowed to get up on the church stage and give his salvation testimony? Or would he have to “clean himself up” first? Many of the vile visitors to...

    Songs and Christian Liberty

    Blasphemy? Amazing Grace lyrics are not blasphemy. This rendition by Eternal Worship is, in my opinion, very gentle, respectful, reverent, and devout. This reminds me of a new members class at a local Calvary Baptist church, where the class syllabus contained only one page devoted to the new...

    Slavery Numbers

    Morality is not dependent upon time or historical period. That the US and the rest of the world were engaged in the wrong, doesn’t mean we should not judge them. “Everybody’s doing it” is no justification for an evil practice. If the morals of a moment in history would prevail, abolitionists...

    God Wants to Deliver Us from the Evil Instrumental Music of This Present Evil World

    Looking lustfully at a woman in the flesh, in a photo, or in a film are all the same. Job 31:1 NIV I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.

    Some Thoughts on the Post-Incarnate Christ

    I did read your article. If Christ has no physical body, how will He reign in the Millinneum? How did you decide the return of Christ, the Parousia, happened in the 1st century? Jesus explained in Matthew the events that would accompany His second coming. QUOTE … there is a second set of...

    God Wants to Deliver Us from the Evil Instrumental Music of This Present Evil World

    So would your pastor condemn as worldly such things as purple hair, nose rings, piercings, tattoos, ripped up blue jeans, chatbot companions, movie theatres, film streaming like Netflix, card games, professional sports, video games, social media?

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    Do you read about things related to Jesus and say “that was His human side” or “that was His divine side”? Before the Word was incarnated, the Son of God never got hungry, thirsty, sleepy, or worried about anything. So when the Word was born from Mary, He entered a whole new experience as a...

    God Wants to Deliver Us from the Evil Instrumental Music of This Present Evil World

    So now facial hair is evil? That will come as a surprise to most if not all the Bible saints. Jesus may have had a beard. Facial hair was one way to visually distinguish males from females. However, I would probably be comfortable in your IFB church, as I don’t like facial hair or loud...

    Go out in Jesus Name

    Racism is biblical? Just because some biblical passages have been used to support racism? What verses have been used to support racism? The use of the term “biblical” has now gone berserk, if any evil or wrong idea can be supported by misapplied verses from the Bible, and then those errors are...
