This passage records the words of Jesus to his disciple Cleopas and his unnamed disciple companion on the Emmaus Road on Sunday, the day of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The hopes of the kingdom they had been preaching with Jesus for 3 plus years had gone away with his death in Jerusalem...

Mt 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. How does a statement like this by the creator, Jesus Christ, square with Calvinisms/Reformed teaching. In his sovereignty, as...

Ps 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. I saw in one of the threads in the last few days where someone had made a misapplication of this verse. It was obvious to me that they quoted this psalm to prove that God is angry with sinners now and that he is...

How do Baptists who post on this board give to missions and missionaries and how are you involved in translating the scriptures into non English languages?

Biblical teaching and doctrinal evidence indicates that the will of God is large families. We have lots of Reformed where I live and I know several of them. Most of them have about 2 children. If he, God, really determines all things according to his character and no one can change it, shouldn't...

Acts 11:22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. 23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave...

Does your Baptist denomination teach that Israel and the church of Jesus Christ are the same entity in either and both testaments? I am IFB so my answer to my question is "no," Israel is the people of God with an earth bound destiny while the church is predestined to heavenly glorification and...

More than 2500 years of Human history passed before God gave Israel the written law and began to write prophecy of the world through the nation that he himself raised up for 4 major reasons that I will name later. Why did God send the "gospel of God" to the nations, which is the grace of God...

This person, if he is real, needs to be discussed in the context of Bible translations and dynamic equivalences and paraphrases, because if he is real, he has skin in the game. I recall a passage in Matthew 4 that he (mis)quoted Psa 91:11 to Jesus Christ as he tempted him to act independently...

Here is my definitions of dispensational: 1) Exemption from a rule or usual requirement. - i.e. Dietary laws in Acts 10. 2) A system of order, government, or organization of a nation, community, etc., especially as existing at a particular time. - i.e. the Mosaic system over Israel 3 In...

The epistle of Paul the apostle, to the Colossians, was one of 4 epistles that was written from Paul's imprisonment in Rome in AD 60. This was 30 years after the birth of the church of Jesus Christ in 30 AD. In case there are some who are unaware of God's use of numbers, thirty is his number for...
