Eating or drinking in the sanctuary. IBC root beer or any drink consumed in a bottle that might be mistaken for an alcoholic drink. Suckers, they could be mistaken for a cigarette. Christmas trees AND Halloween candy, especially Peeps and Candycorn Men peeing while sitting Crockett and...

I wish your dad still was here on the forum. We’d be better off for sure.

Real simple question. Do you think it’s good for us, and the world, for Iran to have a nuclear weapon?

My sympathies on the literal/metaphorical sense of Temple lies near this thinking.

A huge issue is Baptismal regeneration, meaning you must be baptized in order to be saved. Also, some teach that the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force, not a Person of the Godhead/Trinity. There’s more, but that’s a serious start.

This is not a rebuke, so please don’t take it that way, but the content and target of your question is probably more suited to a different forum than the welcome forum. Having said that, the general history of the strain of fundamentalism which existed here (and this is a generalization that...

So much goodness in this, amen. I may revisit some other thoughts related to this post later.

Given that assumption, how do you deal with second Thessalonians and the man of lawlessness setting in the temple?

Devout_Christian, just for clarity, the first part of my earlier post to you I spoke about the KJV being good enough for the Apostle Paul. That was an inside joke for long-time forum members. I didn’t mean to distract from your introduction to the forum. So, sincerely, welcome.

The usual issues. Pro LGBTQ, Immigrant, feminism, etc. Ironically, your question corresponded with Cremer’s screed on David’s (and the whole O. T.) misogyny that I read just yesterday. It was forwarded by a FB friend who is a progressive self-professed Christian, claiming such oppressive...

I suspect Sub has been reading stuff from the progressive crowd again, like this.

Still a squishy dispy. Not real fond of the 3rd Temple stuff though. My question regarding the remembrance of the sacrifice via outward signs stems from the notion that I don’t think in our glorified state we’ll need such reminders to adore and revere Him.

Fair question, but ultimately a false dichotomy IMNSHO.

Still working through implications here…. In our glorified states, physically and spiritually, will we need such (outward) reminders of His sacrifice?

Probably not, for a host of reasons. But, in a certain context of respect and honor I still might. Kinda like that great philosopher Ja’Marr Chase once said, Just the memories I get to have. 😁

Thanks for a thought provoking thread. I’m thinking more on this, and will revisit it after more time and study.

We will know Him regardless of those marks. We will be given a new body, like unto His. Why would He continue to bear the marks of the crucifixion? Sounds Catholic to me.

I had a preacher sign my Bible one time. It wasn’t in the vein of a fawning pre-teen at a boy band concert, but rather a token of respect and admiration/honor. I’m sure there were plenty of impressionable preacher boys who contributed to the atmosphere of near idolatrous doting on the mannagawd...

Obviously in the Welcome Forum it wouldn’t be appropriate to start any “fighting”, but I would like to see you take the premise in the excerpt above to the fighting forum and clarify/sustain what you mean.

If the KJV was good enough for the apostle Paul, it’s good enough for me. Welcome to our little kooky corner.
