"In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away." - Hebrews 8:13, written approximately 1960 years ago, just prior to the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 AD. The old covenant is dead, we are under the New...

Ambassador Huckabee's controversial position, that Israel is currently entitled to all of the Middle East from the Nile to the Euphrates, if they decide that they want it, is contrary to the classical dispensationalist teaching, that God's promises to national Israel are not operative during...

The Patriarchy, Family Integrated Church, Vision Forum (Doug Phillips), Bill Gothard movements have been very creative in coming up with sins. Young people (men and women) not allowed to move out from Mom and Dad without permission, until they get married. Women should not attend college or...

I wonder what Huck does with Deuteronomy 2:4-5,9, 19: "Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir. . . . Meddle not with them, for I will not give you of their land, not so much as a foot breadth: because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a...

Do you know how the Roman Catholic priests make holy water? They boil the hell out of it. :cool:

Here is my version of "Once Saved Always Safe:" "For we are made partakers of Christ, IF we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end." - Hebrews 3:14 See also Romans 6:1-2: "Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin...

Roman Catholics celebrate Ash Wednesday by going to their priest and making an "ash" of themselves. :cool:

Kilts will still be in fashion in the 23rd Century.

The Rapture Ready web site praised Grant Jeffrey as a great scholar, but they gave him bad marks for his Y2K speculations: "Grant Jeffrey also spent too much time and effort speculating and focusing on the so-called Y2K disaster, which obviously did not warrant concern. In his book, Millennium...

Regarding Tim Keller: he was basically a good man, I suppose. I read one of his books and it had some valuable insights. But his teachings should be approached with discernment and caution. He promoted evolution and I would disagree with him there. You are to be commended for your cautious...

Welcome to the forum. Here are some specific quotes from Alexander Campbell, founder of the Churches of Christ, which teach a form of baptismal regeneration, that baptism is essential to salvation: "I proceed to show that we have the most explicit proof that God forgives sins for the name's...

The Greek word for "temple" in 2 Thessalonians 2:4 is NAOS. The Greek word for "temple" in John 2:21, "But he spake of the temple of his body," is NAOS. The Greek word for "temple" in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, "ye are the temple of God," where it clearly refers to the people of God, not a literal...

I see nothing in the Bible about a Third Temple. Such an edifice may be built someday, as a self-fulfilling prophecy, but it would not be a fulfillment of Bible prophecy nor a requirement to complete God's plan for the ages. John, speaking of "the holy city, new Jerusalem," said, "And I saw no...

Just wondering, is any criticism of Israel anti-Semitic? If so, then David Cloud (IFB and dispensationalist) is in big trouble: "Israel is fulfilling Ezekiel 37:1-14. She is back in the land but has no breath (verse 8), meaning she is spiritually dead. Most Jews care nothing for the Word of...

This reviewer didn't like either half-time show, and he thinks the Bunny and the Rock are both bad: https://donaldjeffries.substack.com/p/bad-bunny-vs-turning-point-usa "Bad Bunny did utter the words, 'God bless America' in English, but then went on to recite the names of Central and South...

A recent, unflattering review of the ministry and teachings of Jack Hyles: https://www.2020scripturalvision.com/post/jack-hyles-part-1-the-manifold-evils-and-false-teachings-of-this-cultish-wolf-in-sheep-s-clothing "Hyles was a master of easy believism and quick prayerism, making millions of...

Are Olympic gold medals transferable? I'm wondering if Trump is going to demand that American athletes give him their gold medals, just like he asked that nice Venezuelan lady to give him her Nobel Peace Prize. And now he's demanding that Canada gift us the new bridge in Detroit, for which...

I suppose that much of what we post on this forum could be considered "gossip," which some people think is an offense worthy of excommunication. Maybe that's why we do it here anonymously. :cool: Were the Corinthians guilty of "gossip," and was Paul guilty for listening to them? "For it hath...

I believe it is important to maintain the practice of church discipline. For that reason, it is important that churches not use it in a heavy-handed, unjustified and extreme manner, which would bring disrepute on the entire concept. My perception is that St. Andrews is taking things too far...

I checked out the playlist for the Turning Point halftime shindig on February 8, and I was rather underwhelmed. Check out these lyrics for some of the songs that were performed: "Bawatdaba" by Kid Rock [a "shortened version]" https://genius.com/Kid-rock-bawitdaba-lyrics "Drinking Class" by...
