Malachi Great stuff man! I'm going to assume that you agree then that this is the same Zerubbabel in Nehemiah and Ezra as in Matthew and Luke? The marriage theory is a strong one too, hadn't thought of that, thanks! Again, I think this is an important OT/NT association to establish since there...

This is the connection I see in scripture... 2 Those who came with Zerubbabel were Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvi, Rehum, and Baanah. Ezra 2:2 Those who came with Zerubbabel were Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth...

I got saved when I was 15 and my parents weren't Christians. Find every opportunity to obey and honor them when it doesn't compromise your faith and commitment to Christ. If there is a situation you disagree with because of your faith, try to have a discussion about it with them by asking them...

Insightful info, thanks for sharing. We definitely live in biblically-ignorant times.

Jocor, I am very interested in hearing your views and reasons for them. Please share them here...

Many scientists present the age of the earth or the age of a mountain as evidence that disproves the Bible creation account about 6,000 years ago. The problem is that science can't measure God's supernatural ability. How old was Adam when God created him? How old was Eve? God is powerful...

Salvation is based on faith that Jesus is the Christ, period. - 1 John 5:1 For the value and application of water baptism and baptism in the Holy Spirit, one must simply read the book of Acts and observe how the 1st Church practiced it (which was often and repeatedly).

Sure, don't know until you go.

Willie T ! Thanks for sharing this, what a powerful video! I sensed his presence as I watched it. There is a powerful testimony at 29:09. It's one of the most articulate and anointed testimonies of the Holy Spirit healing emotional pain that I can remember hearing. God wants to visit us with...

Meant to put 1 John 4:10 (not 9).

Scientific conclusions are observable. The Law of Gravity is observable. Theories are not. Macro-evolution is not observable since it supposedly happened over "millions of years." There is no observable science that proves there is a monkey in my family tree. To state that it's a scientific...
