Re: Genesis 6

Exactly so. Thank you for proving my point. The Sons of God ARE NOT angels. They are an entirely different class of spirit beings (See my response to Amanah here...

Re: Genesis 6

There is more going on in the discourse of Christ in Matthew 22:30.

The context is the Sadducean disavowal of the Resurrection:

Matthew 22:22-30 (ESV),

Re: I Was Wrong About Mike Bickle

I am not in the loop of what's been happening. I know there has always been controversy surrounding IHOP. But what is the new development(s) that changed your mind?

Re: Tent Revivals -- Are they still a thing?

I don't think they are "a thing", that is, a commonly held practice, to the extent that they used to be seen all over the US in the earlier part of the 20th century.

Whether or not they should be...

Re: Genesis 6

Extra-Biblical sources like 1 Enoch are not required to show that the Sons of God in Genesis 6:4 are supernatural beings.

The author of 1 Enoch makes use of the generally agreed upon understanding...

Re: Genesis 6

In the Hebrew Scriptures, there is a taxonomy of divine entities, as follows:

Re: UPCI Church fires youth pastor

And this is a good thing. It's a shame that any of these things were kept hidden in the past.



No one would advocate such a position for any other kind of violent crime. But somehow sexual...

Re: UPCI Church fires youth pastor

You said you would take a pastoral approach. Which means, what exactly? You are not in any position whatsoever to bring any kind of legal justice to the victim of a crime.

So, in your inability to...

Re: UPCI Church fires youth pastor

Brother, the solution to all of this is right in your response. You used the phrase "sexual assault". A-S-S-A-U-L-T.

That means a crime has been committed.

And as far as severity is concerned,...

Re: Pacifism

I should make a note about my comment at the end.

The proverb isn't addressing the concept of pacificism at the local, individual saint level. It is addressing the need for action, even of using...

Not that anyone would want to, but take a look at Lil' Nas claim that he is entering into his "Christian era" in his new music video JCHRIST.

Re: help me please

Not sure what it should be called. But you could start by showing that "God the Son" isn't a Biblical concept. You could also show how the spirit of God the Father is the Holy Spirit.

Re: UPCI Church fires youth pastor

In this, as in many other areas of civic life, it would be so much the better if we lived in a more theonomic society, so we could actually apply the Law of our Creator to these situations.

Them that sin rebuke before all, that the others may fear. The article claims the man was in church leadership, whatever that means to them. So, what Paul wrote applies. Leaders who sin get denounced...

Re: UPCI Church fires youth pastor

Police right away. It isn't even a question. How can the church "deal with it"? Have a meeting, talk it over, and maybe tell someone to leave, so the perpetrator can otherwise go free and victimize...

Re: Pacifism

Re: The fellowship of the believers

Because God commanded it as a permanent ritual observance among His people. Passover is once a year, the Lord's Supper is "as often as you do this".

So, from daily to weekly, one should...

Re: The fellowship of the believers

The warning about some becoming sick, or dying (i.e. falling asleep) and the condemnation Paul gives over it, is not to be spiritualized. Rather, remember what Paul wrote in the beginning of the...

To appear less Catholic. It seems that the more Protestant a congregation is, the more they do whatever they can to be as opposite from Catholicism as possible.

What it means?

I find it to be the basis of what a church meeting should always entail. Or, at the very least, it is the pattern to which all believers must aspire.

How do I fulfill it?
