Good topic. I never knew about that heresy, I do know Christians are judged and can earn crowns to lay at Christ’s feet. Are these related?

I’m just assuming there where more arrows, and God wanted him to smite the ground as many times as there where arrows at hand. Seems like another passage at about how men fail to fully commit to the word of God, and our willingness to trust him. I think this is a great question, I am really interested to hear what a more thought out answer has to say

With Constantine the great

No one hear would argue that ?

Lots of people ‘get it from the Bible’, however wrong the interpretation of Genesis may be. Most people don’t read the Bible literally.

I thought you weren’t voicing your opinions on the topic. ?

Isn’t it a conversation? And if I’m asking you and you deny me, a brother yet I fulfilled your need, doesn’t that make our relationship unequal? I feel like I am not be treated equal. Sorry brother but I don’t think this is what fellowship and charity is about.

I’m seeking yours. ?

People should of never trusted the government with their Children in the first place - The public school system is Government Education.

It’s hard to justify it before God - as in to declare it in his name. It’s a very pagan holiday but so is Easter and Christmas however those two holidays are easily declared and justified in the Lords name. I cannot do so with Halloween. It’s a fun day for children but for an adult believer I can not comprehend their joy for Halloween. Yeah I hear of Christians giving tracks out on Halloween but I wouldn’t say those are they who are celebrating Halloween just using it to help spread the gospel. If this is your thread and your wondering about others beliefs, it is only fair you share your own.

We support about 20 and we are a sending church of one

3.26 and that’s a “cheap”gas station. Shell or what ever is hovering 340

Sorry I meant the City of Jerusalem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_of_Jerusalem

Another cool thing about the revelation of 1948, is that the Bible said the Jews would not rule yet - not until their Messiah rules. And look they are currently ran by the UN

Yup. I agree, the main statement is about polygamy and the rest requires further study. ??

The primary context is having one wife, not the divorce/remarriage.

Sometimes 3 times a week, sometimes 1 sometimes none. All depends

So we agree, things can be literal and spiritual, and that being figurative doesn’t impact the literal translation.

Is Heaven not literal because it’s a spiritual place? Spiritual - Things pertaining to the spirit Figurative - Things not literal; metaphorical. All things spiritual are literal. Now we can be figurative about the spiritual things - IE We can say Our Country is Sodom and Gomorrah, it’s not literal, but it is figurative of spiritual likeness. It’s not literal unless God says it is.

What do you mean? Spiritual doesn’t mean figurative. I don’t figuratively have the Holy Spirit in me, I literally do. I am spiritually born again, yet I am literally born again in the spirit. In Gods eyes I’m a new man, with a new spirit but I am still the same person.

Just because it’s spiritual doesn’t mean it’s not literal. The bellow passage is pretty obviously a spiritual context, yet it is literal, see. For this woman is clothed with the sun that is black as a sackcloth of hair. Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

Sureword I would like to Did you compare Rev 12:4 and 12:9? Rev 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Sure I do agree with you on that we are 100% Brothers in Christ, and that small differences shouldn’t grieve the opportunity of fellowship. I come off as hard, I do apologize in that. What typology breathes fire?

I mean you can listen to others or you can compare scripture to scripture. Personally, I’ve never heard of a fire breathing crocodile. And If I did, I think it being fire breathing probably makes it a dragon, and it’s scales being impenetrable. Weird How it’s called the serpent, and that’s also another name for Satan, and that Christ him self comes to kill it. And Yes I have read Job. Honestly this is where my argument lands and it’s either we believe what the Bible says, or we believe what we want to believe.

That’s amazing. They are honestly looking for the truth, but I feel they never get the opportunity to really “look” at it.
