Hi, YumChow! Just a thought... what we see today is the FALLEN state of creation. We have no idea what the fly's original purpose really is or what the skunk used to smell like. But I'm positive we will all be pleasantly surprised when Messiah returns and restores everything back the way it was...

I think its both. Before AND after. But what is wickedness? 1st we have to understand righteousness. Over and over and over again the Bible tells us very plainly that the Word of God as given to us by the hand of Moses is righteousness and holiness. The Law is righteousness. And anything...

But this is our choice (a pretty simple one, really) but a decision we make by our own free will. It's His world anyway, He made it and everything in it, under it, and above it. So in my humble opinion, He can have whatever view He wants. He's God. If we refuse His terms, we burn forever. But...

Good morning, Jim. I can't understand how my post could be interpreted the way you seem to have taken it. Please read it again. I stand firmly by what I said. Have a blessed day!

I guess I fit under that "strict" category you spoke of, because I see Jesus blessing GOD for the food, and not blessing the food itself (as if that will do our meal any good!) We're supposed to bless God for providing us the food..... and that's exactly what we do in our home. As to why...

Hi, WIP! There is no contradiction here... just clarification. This is what we call a "generational curse" where a parent teaches their children iniquity, who turn around and pass it on to their own children. The "side effects" of generational sin can range from physical sickness to mental...

Yes, that was God telling him and the reason He did that was to teach Abraham and us about His own Son. His Son is so important to God that He devotes the first 5 Books of the Bible to teach us about Him. Every story, every name, number, and detail is teaching SOMEthing about Jesus......and this...

Baptism or "Immersion" is not a new concept, nor is it a "one-time thing." It is the way God requires us to purify ourselves before we enter into His presence. For example: Before God spoke to the people at Mt Sinai, He required them all to wash their bodies and their clothes. That's an...

Your fear might be the holy spirit convicting you. It is a very healthy fear, and I pray it will serve you well on your quest to answer this question for yourself. One way to tell if we're going thru the narrow gate is to look around and see what everybody else is doing. If we "follow the...

A "Jew" is a slang word for Judah and includes a person who is either a direct descendant of Judah or is living within the borders of the land given to Judah by God as an inheritance. The genealogy of Jesus in Matt 1 goes to great length to prove that Jesus descends from Judah, the son of Jacob...

Bible names can carry either an element of prophecy about that person, or can act as a "bible code" that teaches God's plan. For instance: Abram's name means "high father," but when God went into covenant with him He changed Abram's name to Abraham- "father of many nations." His name is now a...

Hello! May I suggust to you that the "seeing" part that you mentioned is your snare. You need to be able to see something tangible in order for you to believe it, right? But our eyes are so very easily deceived. And our Creator knows this about us! He knows that we follow our eyes in almost...

All of Isa 60 shows the very beginning of the 1000-yr Kingdom. Read it. The "darkness" in v 2 is the 5-month plague of darkness seen in Rev.

Isa 60 is speaking of resurrection day after the Trib. "Arise"... from our slumber and our new glorified bodies "Shine" (reflect?) His righteousness.

In Jesus' own words in John 5:46-47: "Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you, Moses, in whom you trust. For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed Me, for he wrote of Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe My Words?"...

why bother responding when ppl read only what they want to hear? :wall

How is that a "better" approach.....it had no effect on the people! It was the resurrection of the dead (an OT prophecy) that got their attention. But even then, only a few believed (see v 30-34) Paul's best results came when the Gentiles overheard him teaching in the synogogues on Sabbath. (See...

Because it is the OT prophecies that explain who Jesus is and why He had to suffer. If you don't believe Moses and the Prophets, you won't believe Jesus, either. Jesus even said so in Jn 5:46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his...

It’s that time of year again for our annual rehearsal of the Days of Awe! For those who don’t know….. these Days are: 1- "Resurrection Day” - as in 1 Cor 15:52 “...at the Last Trumpet the dead in Christ shall be raised…” (which is why it's also called “The Feast of Trumpets.”) 2- and then 10...

not sure who you're asking, but in case you're talking to me, I didn't want to be rude and not respond! But you are right, I haven't been around in.....uhhhh..... almost a year? Gosh, has it been THAT long???? YIKES!!
