"From the reports I have seen, she was found carrying a waste bag which also had pages of the Koran," he said. "This infuriated some local people and a large crowd gathered to demand action against her. The police were initially reluctant to arrest her, but they came under a lot of pressure...

Revelation 6:1-8 is an allusion to Zechariah 6:1-8 (the chapter and verse numbers are merely coincidence). To understand the nature of these riders and horses, look at how they are previously symbolized in the OT: Now I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, four chariots were...

I would hardly call the zealotry of fanatics who blow themselves and innocents up a "religious world" that we should be motivated to model our own "missionary work" after. Islamists are deluded. Should we delude ourselves into a "by any means necessary" approach to spreading the gospel? And...

I think it's wrong to focus on what the rider is holding versus what the rider is and represents. All these riders are spirits, and the first spirit Jesus sent to earth after His resurrection was the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was sent to conquer the hearts of mankind with the gospel by...

The "selective literalists" have run amok in your absence, Hitch. Why is a day 2,000 years except when Christ is in the grave? Why does "soon" mean a few minutes or days to us but 2,000 years to the ancients? :chin:chin:chin

God sent the HS to lead us into all truth, not punish us with lies. What you wrote, cited above, is so demonstrably false it's absolutely heretical.

"You desire to know something of my religion. It is the first time I have been questioned upon it. But I cannot take your curiosity amiss, and shall endeavour in a few words to gratify it. Here is my creed. I believe in one God, Creator of the Universe. That He governs it by His providence...

So did I. Do you not understand the use of examples or illustrations to make a point in discussion? That's a far cry from assuming Franklin himself was not a Christian! What an absurd leap of logic to make!:nono2

:biglol

Neither do we. There is honestly nothing I can say that draws me to your view of Christ, the church, or the kingdom. Nothing. And yet I am a Christian as I'm sure you claim to be, yet we have no religious connection whatsoever. Catholic and Protestant, dude. Assume, for a moment, I am...

I said they were wrong about apostolic eschatology, even going so far as to note that understanding apostolic eschatology is not a requirement for salvation. I have never once said anywhere that they were not Christians, as you have just done regarding the founders of this nation:

I've seen more from them to convince me of their relationship with Christ than I have from you or some others here. :nono2 Many of the people who saw Jesus didn't believe He was who He said He was. Why should I take their word for it? Why should I take your word for it? So church attendance...

"He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world." Benjamin Franklin "I have lived, Sir, a long time and the longer I live, the more I see of this truth - that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall...

Liberal revisionist history is a lie straight from the pit of hell.

Nope. You pretty much nailed it. :thumbsup

I addressed it in both long and short form. Don't confuse my addressing of the issue with your refusal to accept it.

Nonsense.

And who rules over governments??? And who is part of the body of the head who does so???????? Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much...

Wow! Simply unbelievable! :nono2 God works through people!!! The epitome of that statement is revealed in Jesus Christ Himself, in whom "the fullness of the Godhead dwelt BODILY!" People are either part of a problem or part of the solution! When people pray for help...GOD SENDS PEOPLE...

Neither does the word “trinity.†As to the rest, I simply don't have the time, energy, or care to deal with it again right now.
