    Rolling Stones blood transfusions

    We used to call them the strolling bones. That was about thirty years ago. Keith Richards, the lead guitarist for the rock band The Rolling Stones. Like many in that life style back in the day he was a a heroin addict for a good while. If anyone was a poster child for how not to live, this guy...

    Mary cannot hear your prayers.

    This is where this Mary business comes from.

    Mary cannot hear your prayers.

    Mary cannot hear your prayer. We know this because God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Omnipotent. Mary is none of the above. The Holy Spirit, not Mary, is THE Sovereign distributer of all things, this includes Grace, faith, wisdom, peace...

    Bible Study WHAT HAPPENED IN ACTS?

    Old Testament saints all died in faith not having received the promises made to Abraham (Gen. 17:4, 18:18, 22:18; Rom. 4:13; Gal. 3:7, 9, 14, 29... 4:28 "Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise."(see Eph. 2:12-22) Gal. 3:16, 19 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises...

    Bible Study WHAT HAPPENED IN ACTS?

    PARADISE "While Paradise is not now a part of Sheol/Hades it will be mentioned here because it was located in Sheol/Hades at one time. Before the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ everybody who died went to Sheol/Hades, which was at that time divided into at least two...

    Bible Study WHAT HAPPENED IN ACTS?

    " the believers in Samaria who were converted under the ministry of Philip had to wait a short while to receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit, until Peter and John came up to Samaria and layed hands on the converts (Acts 8:17). In that unique transitional situation as the Church was...

    Bible Study WHAT HAPPENED IN ACTS?

    OT SAINTS SAVED BY FAITH First, to grasp what was happening in Acts, you must understand that the OT saints were also saved by faith. They put their faith in God that He would provide a Savior. God had passed over their sins until Christ died on the cross. Hebrews 10:1 For the law, having a...

    God's plan is so perfect, so complex, shortsighted Arminians and Calvinists just can't fathom it.

    Maybe another way to look at it is that God is sovereign over your free will. Jesus is the Author and finisher of my faith. This is one of the many things that God overcame in me to save me. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are...

    Bible Study 'A Christian Manifesto' Alistair Begg Youtube study.

    8 Parts Few passages from Scripture are as widely read—or as frequently misunderstood—as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Over the centuries, believers and unbelievers alike have been stirred by Christ’s lessons on the Law of Love, the Golden Rule, forgiving one’s enemies, and bearing good fruit...

    A more interesting approach into the OT?

    Can't seem to get interested in the Old Testament? Try this... There was a man named Solomon, a king, who had a heart for his people. God offered him a choice of blessing and Solomon asked for wisdom and knowledge so that as a ruler his people, they would prosper. God was so pleased with this...

    God's plan is so perfect, so complex, shortsighted Arminians and Calvinists just can't fathom it.

    If God did not violate our free will, none of us would be saved. Anyways, question... John 10:11,15 "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep...15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep."(not the goats, per...

    Evolution+Deeptime question

    True science only deals with what can be observed in nature or recreated in a lab. Therefore, true science can tell us nothing about the origin of man. The 'millions of years', yet another theory that's not science. Is Genesis 1-3 important...

    Giving Thanks.

    In theological circles, what I described above is called compatibilism. This tension, is with our logically trying to understand it. I had some other stuff posted but erased it. I decided not to go in that direction. Let me think a while and carry on if you wish. Dave

    Evolution+Deeptime question

    Macarthur says the whole system is made up for no other reason that the sheer love of sin. Here's a similar thought... "The real issue in the creation/evolution debate is not the existence of God. The real issue is the nature of God. To think of evolution as basically atheistic is to...

    Is Sarcasm always bad?

    Definitely. Anne Coulter is probably way over the top. “Oh, that woman, got a mouth like an outboard motor” Foghorn Leghorn There's always that there balance. Thanks for that scripture. If we use cartoon characters to say it, is it still bad? Dave

    It contradicts true science also. Dave

    Ok, I'm back :thm Hope, you made the choices to do those things necessary for the food and medicine, right? The only way that God can also choose, provide, and prepare those things, there would need to be an overlapping of your will and Gods sovereignty over all those same things. Do you...

    What is 'faith alone'?

    Is Sarcasm always bad?

    That makes sense. People that know you get the good natured sarcasm much easier. Is bad natured sarcasm sometimes necessary? I'm kind of out of much of the political loop these days, but I remember Anne Coulter, a political author, reporter and or commentator. Political correctness used to...
