It's great seeing another octogenarian going strong.

"If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plow shall know more of the Scripture than thou dost." Tyndale Although I spent almost 4 years at a bible school, I had to teach myself theology.

Clergy weren't involved in weddings until the 11th or 12th century. It was just another way for the church to get money from its members. If the couple knows that God wants them to be together, they should write out their reasons for being together, including their love for each other, and how...

If the government penalizes a person for getting married, it's the government that is in the wrong. Most likely she will become ineligible to draw her husband's Social Security that he worked a lifetime for. Denying her this is stealing from her. There's nothing wrong with showing a little civil...

There's potintial pitfalls to everything. But a person doesn't have to move to a foreign country to be a missionary. That is putting the cart before the horse. First, you are a missionary at home, then you go where the Lord leads. A person who isn't making disciples at home most likely won't do...

I've given this a lot of thought and prayer. FWIW, I was a missionary who was sent out by my home church at one time. I understand the ifs and buts, and the whys and whys not. I believe that a missionary sent out by a church should be considered another pastor of that church. He should stay at...

There are some very good things about the way SBs take care of their missionaries, but, Scripturally, it is the missionary's home church that should assume all financial responsibility for the missionary. If the home church isn't financially able to meet the missionary's needs, maybe the...

I wonder if Cruz is offended over Christ being Lord of Lords?

President Trump isn't going to have to do much more to destroy a nation on its last breath. I wonder why he'd say such a thing unless he had already contemplated doing so in his mind?

What I remember most about Hyles is a story he told during a chapel service at Tennessee Temple. He said that after returning home from a meeting one night, he woke his son up to tell him something important. He told him that he would no longer be able to be the father he should be to him...

If that was part of God's plan, they would have had children. Abraham and Sarah were beyond childbearing age when they had Isaac.

It makes no difference. The point is that only Noah was righteous.

Paul Dixon was an evangelist from the church I attended in Chattanooga in the early 70s, when he announced that he and Pat were moving to Ohio because most of his meetings seemed to be at GARB churches there. Unbeknownst to us at that time, he was probably being groomed to be in the position to...

I thought I answered the question about the "bloodline," but apparently I didn't do a very good job. I wrote a long expose detailing how Noah was righteous and a type of Christ, but decided not to post it because it would hijack this thread. I guess I will say this again. There were two...

I'm not sure how your posts pertain to Genesis 6 and 7. Ham's sin was important enough for God to include it in His Word and tell us what it was according to Leviticus 20:11.
