The USA was founded as a constitutional republic on the basis of constitutional laws made by elected representatives of the states. Muslim nations were founded upon Islam and largely sharia interpretation of Islamic law. Technically the Treaty of Tripoli presented the legal truth that the US...

Jesus, not Paul upbraided Peter in Mt 16, because Peter didn't have the revelation of Jesus' upcoming sacrifice. Jesus did commend him over the one revelation of Jesus as Christ. Peter had another flaw that carried over past Jesus' resurrection, accepting Gentiles as believers, then later...

:crazy I totally disagree. I'll point out that a huge portion of Job is dialogue from Job's friends whose advice is bad. Job 42:7 "And it was so, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two...

Good, it is easily seen there is no soul sleep. I want to take the fact man is born with a "dead" spiritman that should be born again by faith of Christ. God quickens it, makes it alive. What do you think of the 120 awaiting the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost? Did none have a spirit? When the...

This need not be to difficult for Christians to comprehend, illuminated by the Holy Spirit. Ephes. 2:[1] "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; [2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air...

Good points, veteran. :amen Jesus dealt with some abused OT principles like "eye for an eye", and the false teaching "Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy" (not an OT quote, but taught as one by Jews), and made a few references to Gentiles, but didn't touch any of their pagan...

I know lots of modern "Christians" reject Paul's teachings, but Peter endorsed him and put the skeptics in a bad light. 2 Peter 3:[15] "And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you...

Jesus taught about only two places people go upon death of the body. The fact "we" go anywhere after death speaks of "an" immortality. He clearly explained eternal bliss contrasted to eternal torment based on one's decision in life. All will be resurrected to face one of two judgments, too. That...

I've read of and heard testimonies of some people who have possibly suffered longer and harder than Job until saved and delivered. Some suffered too much, living in an induced coma, waking up to find their limbs gone, family dead, with no hope, and not restored as was Job. For me there is no...

The first I heard of it was probably from Kenneth E. Hagin in the early 70s. I somehow deleted the rest of this post when I added that direct answer to your direct question. For all it's worth.... :lol Simplify by taking the "body" out of the formula for a moment. We can all agree man has a...

The Bible's reference to calendar days of the week was based on the Jewish system, the first day of the week being Yom Rishon, the last Yom Shabbat. But notice Hebrew wasn't transliterated in most Bible versions. Instead, we find the Gregorian "Sunday" as the first day of the Jewish week. The...

Kenneth Hagin is the earliest modern teacher of it.

Genesis 5:2 "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created." The Hebrew bara' was properly translated "created". "made" is used in a broader sense, from Heb. `asah, as used in Genesis 2:[3] "And God blessed the seventh day, and...

I don't argue, so don't worry. I'll drop out of this thread after this, as this concludes my case. No reply is expected from you. I comment in support or challenge. Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." Lev. 17 contains direct commandments...

I have a few thoughts for you to ponder, Cornelius, assuming you are sounding some ideas for us to evaluate. Sinners can get saved even though spending the first part of their lives feeding on the flesh and even the blood of the flesh. They are not cut off spiritually upon being born again. We...

That English word "evil" from the Hebrew "ra" has many definitions, other words based on it. That could be adversity, affliction, bad, displeasing, harmful, and evil. None of that word related to wickedness. That's the true idea of the phrase "I make peace, and create evil". Can you see how...

The New Covenant is in fact quite new, not composed of the old ways patched together in some better order. From the Law of Sin (Old Mosaic Covenant) we learned obedience was something required, else suffer some punishment, and of course lose some blessing. The Law of Life and liberty in Christ...

I'm retired, but still minister however I can. I don't find many folks interested in discussing how the Jews dealt with sin in ancient times, but most people will respond to simple statements. Here's what happened when I went for breakfast at the regular place down the highway last week. I'll...

I posted scriptural support. All I can do is present what I believe is the truth, which is never contradicted by the scriptures because I will not contradict the scriptures. I will not argue against opinion alone. Let the judges reading... judge. Meanwhile I suggest you need to read my last...
