Please accept my friendship... I'm trying to block the mean spirited members (unfortunately you can't block mods)... and limit contact only from friends etc.

The Necessity of Christ's Death The necessity of the atonement lay in a two-fold fact: The holiness of God, and the sinfulness of man. The doctrine of the atonement is related subject, and it cannot be properly understood unless it is viewed as such. It is related to certain conditions...

For all you know we're from Pleiades. ;)

:D Well, far be it from me to mention (faith) in such a thread. Without it, the community and the minister will be stuck with bi vocational.... Paul worked making tapestries because he had to live... when the churches didn't give enough for his ministry.... what a shame imo.

:shrug The course is a basic course for first year Bible College/Uni. Either you're thinking too deeply or are totally missing it, I do not know... or you just need to give input. ;)

Being bi vocational is ideal for a minister? :toofunny Not. In the old days in USA, that's why they had circuit riders... because the people didn't have money so the minister lived in their homes while he was in town for the service, and fed, and then moved to the next town the next...

This is a theological course and might be on a level some can't yet understand.

Hmmm :chin the only confusion I see is within the heart of the person. Will they tell someone they appreciate their service or not. As for owners, no, you don't tip owners. They pay themselves salary. The tips are to help keep good staff....and so if the staff don't make the good tips...

THE LOVE OF GOD THEORY He died to show men how much God loved them. Men ever after would know the feeling of the heart of God toward them. True, the death of Christ did show the great love of God for fallen man. But men did not need such a sacrifice to now that God loved them. They knew that...

November 17 VERSE OF THE DAY Because of your detestable idols, I will punish you like I have never punished anyone before or ever will again. – Ezekiel 5:9 Thank God we do not have his punishment!

Night all! :waving

This sounds like replacement theology, and I don't support it. I totally believe that the Children of Israel, the Jewish people are the chosen people still, and it is the other believers who are grafted into that vine of Christ, not taking it over and cutting off the root. :shrug

I think you make very good points about not being under the law, for surely under the law everyone with aids would be defiled. And for children or others who were raped and now have an STD, they too would be defiled. As for having relations outside of marriage, I daresay there is a huge...

Side note: God didn't allow the eating of pork, nor of the shell fish because they are considered scavengers of the earth/sea. They are the garbage dumps eating anything. Plus, with the pork, the pig has no sweat glands so all the toxins enter into the meat and fat of the animal.

:shrug Could be I'm reading them in English because .... my Bible is in English??? :D

IMO God's grace allows this all the time. He began it in the Garden, as His perfect will was one thing, but His permissive will allowed another. God doesn't kill us the moment we choose something less than what His perfect will would have wanted for us, does He? I mean, He can and maybe has...

Oh really? A face down penny...so they didn't bring your food or drinks or anything? I had a similar tip given to me once...once only. It was in a 24 hour donut shop (yeah, I was young) and late at night but busy... and this guy sat at the counter and wanted this and that and that and this...

Well of course he didn't have a demon, believers can't...but the way it's reading y'all are saying it has to be demonic as it's that "messenger".... the only other thing I'd vote for is depression. I can see throughout his writings where he ebbed and flowed I guess... and even thought about...

For me, the entity that put that B-52 on the backside of it can have it! :yes

Unscriptural Views of Christ's Death: THE ACCIDENT THEORY Briefly stated, this is the theory: The Cross was something unforeseen in the life of Christ. Calvary was not in the plan of God for His Son. Christ's death was an accident, as unforeseen and unexpected as the death of any other...
