This reminds me of Romans 1:18-32. It also reminds me of the Egyptians and their animal-gods.. I wonder if the ancient idolaters were as nuts about animals as people are today? http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/gorilla-killing-at-cincinnati-zoo-sparks-probe-into-possible-criminal-charges/ar-BBtH9Uc?ocid=spartanntp

Sigh...My fiance' just had a wedding shower thrown (co-workers not church family) and we got $200 in Target Gift cards...No way I am setting foot in a Target store but I sure can't afford to throw $200 away. I suppose I could compromise and buy online, but it still supports them (though I guess the support is already done). Maybe the Lord will forgive me since it wasn't me who actually gave them the money but the kind people who gifted us the cards. At least we didn't get something like an expensive bottle of booze that absolutely would have gone down the drain. I really hate this stupid bathroom issue...It just cost my respect for one of my all time favorite mus…

Donald Trump: “I Will Appoint Supreme Court Judges Who Will be Pro-Life” When it comes to abortion, for pro-life voters there is no more important issue in the presidential election than who will control the appointment process for one or more Supreme Court judges who will determine the fate of abortion for decades. And on that point, Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, told Bill O’Reilly he would name pro-life judges to the highest court. Asked what he would do to protect the “sanctity of human life,” Trump said it starts with the Supreme Court. “I will protect it and the biggest way to protect it is through the Supreme Court and putting people…

First, a bit of background - I an not a christian. I am an agnostic. I love to read, and I read a huge variety of literature. Early last year in a used bookstore I picked up an old book strictly because it was written in the 1800s. But while the elderly status of the story may have inspired me to buy it, it didn't inspire me to read it. The book sat on my "to-read" bookshelf gathering dust for months before I summoned up the energy to pick it up and read it. The book was "The Wide, Wide World" by Susan Warner.I was HOOKED by the end of the second page. I was obsessed by the end of the first chapter. And by the end of the book I was addicted. I found a collection of her s…

Has anyone read the book "The Cure" by John Lynch? It has been out since 2011 and I can't find anything on it except praise for it from people whose opinion I can't respect, but I have not found anything but praise for it. I have someone dear to me that has been given the book as a "must read", but I have HUGE RED FLAGS in my mind when it talks about "finding something in God's word no one else has seen before".... I would appreciate it if anyone has actually read it to give me feedback. Thanks! Bro. Garry

It sure does pay to have an honest Christian mechanic as your friend. Check engine light comes on, scope says EVAP system purge failure (P0440). Generic mechanic estimates $800 for replacement of EVAP canister. Mechanic friend looks at 16 year old gas cap and says there's your leak. $15 later and new gas cap, problem solved. Bro. Garry

Free will could all be an illusion, scientists suggest after study that shows choice could just be the brain tricking itself Research adds to evidence suggesting 'even our most seemingly ironclad beliefs about our own agency and conscious experience can be dead wrong' The idea that human beings trick themselves into believing in free will was laid out in a paper by psychologists Dan Wegner and Thalia Wheatley nearly 20 years ago. They proposed the feeling of wanting to do something was real, but there may be no connection between the feeling and actually doing it. The new study builds on that work and says that the brain rewrites history when it makes …

Does anyone know what this refers to please? Zech. 11:1-3 Zech 11:1 ¶ Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. 2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down. 3 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

“Human life begins in bright flash of light as a sperm meets an egg, scientists have shown for the first time, after capturing the astonishing ‘fireworks’ on film. “An explosion of tiny sparks erupts from the egg at the exact moment of conception. It now appears to be clear that this verse, John 1:9, can have a two-fold meaning! Make sure to watch the video. I find this new discovery to be fascinating and thought you all would enjoy it too. Christ not only gives light through conscience, creation and himself but literally as well. http://www.twoedgedsword.org/christ-gives-light God Bless! Trent

(In another thread that is no longer a valid thread discussion, a comment was made which motivated me to do the following Bible study.) The New Testament Believer’s Relationship with the World (Part 1) 1. We are the spiritual light of the world; and we are to shine forth that light before the world, doing “all things without murmurings and disputings,” in order that we “may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke,” in the midst of this spiritually crooked and perverse world, and in order that “they may see our good works, and glorify our Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16 – “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on …

Hello everyone! Sorry I have not been around as much anymore. I am just finishing up two degrees in school and my jobs hours increased on top of that. It is all I can do to get all my homework done each day. After keeping myself strictly celibate for the last 19 years out of personal conviction concerning the circumstances surrounding the dissolution of my last marriage (not open to discussion here, there is already a thread on that topic and you can probably infer my stance on the topic), I have courted and now proposed to Miss Laurel Ann Carpenter and she has said yes! My previous marriage vows were fulfilled with the death of my last wife due to cancer about…

Acts 14:8-10 8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: 9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, 10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. What is meant by "he had faith to be healed"? How did Paul perceive this man had faith to be healed? Is there any particular significance to the fact Paul spoke with a loud voice (Stand upright on thy feet.)? What application can we draw from this passage for today?

Went to see The Peanuts Movie with my family. We loved it! And I recommend it to all families that enjoy the 'art' of Charles Schulz. One of Charles Schulz' prized possessions . . . his worn out old Bible. Charles Schulz was a Christian and a Sunday school teacher, as well as a cartoonist and artist. He produced a few other books, besides his Peanuts books. Among my collection of cartoon books are three of his books titled - "Young Pillars" "Teenager Is Not a Disease" "What Was Bugging Ol' Pharoah?" His strips have encouraged and brought to life many Christian topics and situations. As a cartoonist m…

Was Simon the Sorcerer a Genuine Believer in Acts 8:13? (This thread has been started due to a request by another from another thread.) Acts 8:5-25 -- "Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city. But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Sama…

Arnel Carreon 6 hrs I find it rather amusingly confusing that the LGTB community would appeal and find their allies in the “naturalness” of homosexual behavior found among animals (1,500 species on their list) to justify their lifestyles, yet hate it with disgust to be compared with them. Doing so destroys their whole argument. I don’t get it. Granting that there are homosexual animals the way we have it in humans, but since when did this animal behavior became the standard if not a pattern of human morality? Why ally yourself with animal behavior, degrading yourself by…

Is it always wrong for a Christian Person who has been divorced to remarry? It seem that the teaching of the Lord Jesus in the gospels put a blanket ban on such a remarriage, but some say that Paul does not go so far. The situation is as follows A young Christian girl who was with us while she was at university met and married a young man who seemed to be a fine Christian, and they moved away. recently the husband laid with the wife's cousin while she was upstairs asleep. She found out about this but forgave him. Then later he and a female colleague (they were both in the police force) we involved in a difficult arrest, she perhaps even saved his …

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Also, there is no soul sleep in the Bible. Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. The dead do not know what is happening on the earth after they are removed from it. It is not that they have no knowledge (or thoughts) whatsoever, but that they cannot or do not know what happens after they pass away - they have no knowledge of what is happening “under the sun” once they have gone to either the eternal home of the righteous or the unrighteous. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. -

Here is what you said and I replied to.... The Bible mentioned if any man add or subtract to the Word of God? I know they’re not changing the Words, but they are adding to the Bible, man-made rules and songs, to it. With your criteria, Paul's Journey is no different than political addiction as they are both placed by men. You said "Adding to the Bible" as being the problem, not political motivation. -

I’m a very busy person helping my wife around the house, I cook sometimes, I clean the dishes plus put them away. I help with the laundry, and dry plus fold the clothes. I wash my wife’s car and pass vacuum inside, Shine wheels. It’s hard work sometimes, if I was only a pastor, I wouldn’t have to do all these things. 🤣 -

Revelation 14:10-11: "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Revelation 20:15: "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 21:8: "And the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
