Esau Predestined For Hell
|
| |
The story of Esau and Jacob is not one of one is saved and who isn't. But it relates later as a parable. If you trade salvation for earthly gains, at the judgment when we get our inheritance it doesn't matter how you cry or beg, you wont get it since you traded it away. |

Can A Woman Be A Bishop
|
| |
It's not a matter of education in the past. It's a matter of the order and structure of God. "God is a God of order..." No women are not permited to be the authority of a man. It's not against women or to say women aren't valuable or any less. It's just the order of things. Get over it! |

Rub A Cross On The Forehead
|
| |
The catholic church does a lot of things. Most of them are directly against the bible. I don't think there's anything wrong with the cross rub thing, but, it's not biblical. Seems to me that it's supposed to put the mark of God on you in place of the mark of the beast. |

How Do Jews Atone For Sins
|
| |
Jesus said, "No one comes to the father except by me" There is no other way. You can sacrafice everything born from now to eternity and for eternity and it will not make even one sin become forgiven. |

Could Jesus Have Sinned
|
| |
In my reading of scripture it is clear to me that Jesus could not have sinned.
So what was the temptation for if he could not fail?
An old brother in the Lord gave me a great illustration to understand this.
If we have a piece of pure gold and perform a scientific test to determine its purity we will see that it is pure gold. If we test it over and over agian the same results occur - pure gold.
We run the test to validate its purity. Was there ever a chance it could fail - no.
God allowed Satan to temp the Lord so we could see His purity.
We have a Savior that has been and will always be the Holy one of God. |

Stranger Asks For Money
|
| |
I used to live in the Washington DC area (1980's) and the city was contemplating making the homeless pay taxes on their donations. Studies indicated that many homeless people brought in more per year than many that worked. Often panhandlers are never really poor, in fact one guy even put himself thru college by begging for hand-outs. It is all a matter of know-how and proper management of resources. |

Is Obama Muslim
|
| |
The reason that Obama does not wear a flag pin or salute the flag is because the flag has blue and red on it and the only color he wants to use is the white flag - the one used in surrender. |

What Is A Meek Christian
|
| |
A.W. Tozer writes The meekman is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. Rather he may be in his moral life as bold as a lion and as strong as Samson; but he has stopped being fooled about himself. He has accepted God's estimate of his own life. He knows he is as weak and helpless as God declared him to be, but paradoxically, he knows at the same time that he is in the sight of God of more importance than angels. In himself, nothing; in God, everything. That is his motto. |

Divorced Church Leaders

| |
Rebecca D, past action is the best indicator of future performance. Forgive yes but don't forget, giving grace does not mean that we are to act without wisdom. |

Arguments For Evolution
|
| |
Matthew and MikeM, you tend to pounce on anyone who use faith as a proviso for rejecting evolution.
Empirical Ontological Relativity, whcih in my opinion is the most coherent worldview holds that our beliefs are determined by pragmatic belief as responsive to experience. |
