Thanks. The story was disturbing.

I was pretty much inactive on this website for quite a long period of time until just recently and never followed this story but the more I understand about the John MacArthur situation with Eileen Gray the harder it is to defend this. If her husband confessed to abusing her which seems to be...

I agree with you 100%. Only God has the right to give and take life. The death sentence has been given to all the sons of Adam and God has a reason unknown to us as to why some people die slow painful deaths and others go peacefully. In Amos 1:13-14 the sin of abortion was one of the sins...

Josua 6:21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. If God wants a child to die of cancer, by the sword, earthquake, famine, whatever, He is still God. We know through the miracles of...

There are other verses that teach an unborn child is alive including Luke 1:41 which states that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit in the womb. I was pointing out the dangers of robbing the promises and prophecies of Isael and giving them to the Church. That is exactly what the...

I would also point out that we are not Israel and the civil laws nor the rules of war apply to the church. If indeed abortion is murder it can't be justified by using Israel's instructions any more than using the slavery laws to justify American slavery. The pre-quickening argument seems shaky.

I might point that when Joshua was told to "utterly destroy all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old..." (Joshua 6:21), the young were put to death as a result of their parents sin. It seems paradoxal with Exodus 23:7 and Deut 24:16. Matthew Henry addresses this by pointing...

I will stand by my understanding but by no means do I have any ill will towards those who don't come to the same conclusions. As in other matters of faith and practice, "Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind" (Rom 14:5).

The reason God would bring Israel back to her land was not for her sake but for "God's holy name's sake that the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God" (Eze 36:22-24). Any unbiased person can look at the miracle rebirth of physical Israel and know that God is sovereign.

It is an allegory clearly defined in Ezekiel 37:11-14 where God promises to bring the Jews back from the grave of nations and place them back in their own land. Context is important when looking at metaphors. Eze 37:13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my...

Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: The prosperity preachers today take the promises given to Israel and apply them to the church. The promises to Israel were that if they obeyed the...

Paul certainly didn't in Romans 11 where he makes it very clear that the physical descendants are not the same as the Church and that God has not abandoned them as a nation permanently. I think we all can see that in the dry bones coming back to life on May 14, 1948.

You talk about Gog and Magog being "spiritualized" and yet you spiritualize the prophecies given to the descendants of Abraham as being fulfilled by the Church. Jonathan Brentner wrote an article several years ago explaining how allegorizing scripture crept into the church. In the 2nd century...

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/franklin-graham-resigns-the/2015/12/22/id/706826/?dicbo=v2-VqzFpPm Franklin Graham has been outspoken on many social and moral issues in America which many believe is nothing but "politics." How is what Franklin Graham and other Christian leaders speaking out...

Give other Christians the liberty to be involved in government or not. You are a fatalist no matter what you say. Name one person who meets your standard of righteousness. Quit denigrating Christians who don't follow your beliefs.
