. The intended lesson for us has little to do with the physical. It's about the spiritual reality... There is wisdom in that comment. .

I don’t place any faith in opinions. What I’ve briefly posted here is researchable, demonstrable fact. If you want more doc’s, just ask. Rounding the corners of the beard was done by those pagans of the ubiquitous sun-worshipping cults (e.g. the sun is also round), similar to the women baking...

James 1:27, "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

All Churches, including the incorporated Church, unincorporated Church, unregistered Church, etc., are under the jurisdiction of man. These Churches define themselves in particular ways that you do not find in scripture. In other words, Christ did not define his ekklesia .to be those things...

We can point you in the right direction. That’s 2 Tim. 1:7. There are four spirits mentioned in that verse -- three are God’s and one is Satan’s. I like the odds already! Obviously, the Lord wants you moving in his Spirit, thus, if you are a born again believer, he’s already given you those...

Angel, who's your head, your spiritual cover? And what's his spiritual status? And a couple of other things to consider: That is not a surprise. The oldest religion, as per scripture itself, is the ancient star goddess religion. They worship the stars as if they are gods -- to this day...

One of the most plain examples of the mindset of Jesus our Lord, in his temporal ministry, was his dealings with the Roman Centurion who besought him to heal his servant (Matthew 8:5-13). First, this Centurion, this Roman Federal agent, was clearly a “believer,” even calling Jesus "Lord." It is...

YOU GOT ALL OF THAT RIGHT! Except, the part about “picking at nits” is dead wrong. Rather, the $64,000 question that ties ALL OF THESE discussions here together is this: Who is your authority? Who do you look to, for the authority to do the things you do? Because it is to that authority...

Firstly, Jesus paid nada, zero -- rather, SIMON PETER DID. The ministry of Jesus would have been acceptable to the ungodly Caesarian authorities, but for the fact that Jesus was now cutting into "their place and their nation " (John 11:48) i.e. their status and their stuff. $$$ Oops! Can't...

Well, if Jesus’ “kingdom was not of this world”, why would he pay taxes to it??? The truth is, Jesus did not “pay His taxes.” Jesus was not exempt; he was immune (and so are we, his people, free). 'Jesus paid taxes' is a popular falsehood taught throughout evangelical Christianity. Religion...

When the bible uses the term person, it is translated from a Greek or Hebrew word which means "presence or countenance", it does not mean ‘man.' Here is scriptural proof that "person" and "man" are not synonymous terms, for if they are synonymous, then God is a liar. First of all, the scripture...

The issue is not whether the word “Christian” was accepted by early Christians. The issues are 1) whether our witness is more powerful when we witness using the words of truth i.e. Jesus Christ (the way, the truth, the life), or when we use the world’s label/title of “Christian;” and 2) what...

And you don't see any conflict with a man/woman of God assuming a "title"??? Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (Heb 13:8) For I am the LORD, I change not... (Mal. 3:6) Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. (Job 14:4)

Religion and piety have nothing to do with the reality of Jesus Christ and his bloodwork. The verse I gave proves that Jesus did not start anything, let alone a "religion, as he could do only the will of the Father. Perhaps you'd like to show us with scripture where the Father, then, started a...

Why would. Paul ”correct Agrippa”? There’s no warrant for it, as Agrippa was an unbeliever, Agrippa was of. the world -- the very same place from which the word “Christian” originated. The worldly Agrippa is merely speaking in the worldly manner to which he is accustomed. Jesus was called...

Religion = piety. We’ve already shown with scripture that Jesus never started a religion via John 7:16. (So who did?) I never said it was “wrong.” That’s your opinion. Do you have any scripture (re: forum rules) or other facts to support your claim? Did you not read my post in its entirety...

From the OP: "Christianity" is a denomination, and those who are members of can be referred to as Christians. (Edit, ToS 2.14, You do not dictate the actions of staff on this forum. Obadiah) I do not claim the worldly title of 'Christian.' The term 'Christian' was used to describe a follower...

Fear is a demonic spirit -- certainly not one that the Lord has given his people. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (1 Tim. 1:7). So how does that spirit of fear obtain Lawful authority to operate in one's life? Enter countless...
