I would say that this was attributable to John having preceded Jesus (thus acquiring followers of his own), and also because John continued to baptize after...
I recall asking my siblings at age 8 how one goes to heaven. They said "you have to be saved". I asked what that meant and they said that someone has to "put...

Let's do this! I believe Jesus as the Son of God on Earth is the best way to understand the Eternal Almighty God. Can anyone point to a place in the...

Ezekiel, I'm not trying to change your mind about this subject; "world peace" isn't riding on whether or not God changes His mind. We have an opposing view...

Love this, Danny!
God knows what we need before we pray, so when we pray, instead of telling Him what we need, it's probably better to find something else on which to focus....

Amen, Brother Mark! Good word! Be highly favored of God today, Brother!

Danny, thanks for your comment. You have indicated that to change His mind God would be admitting that He was wrong. Kindly read through Isaiah 38:1-4 and...

I get your point; I just think it's a matter of semantics. I thought I had conceded as much in my last transmission. "Sin" was forgiven at the Cross. But sin...

The framing of questions like this one can be very telling. "Should a Christian GET INVOLVED..."? That right there puts a negative spin on the whole notion...
The Bible clearly opposes rape and sexual violence. Even though the laws and customs of ancient times were different from today, Scripture consistently...

Oh, the Bible does record at least 1 more instance of rape: Rape is shown as a violation and a deep injustice. In 2 Samuel 13, Amnon, the son of King David,...

Mark, I don't think it's incorrect to say that 'God WILL FORGIVE sin.' The scriptures you list say, in one way or another, that God HATH FORGIVEN sin. The...

Excellent answer, Danny!

The abomination standing in the holy place is a sign that the time is near. There are others. Sorry, I disagree.
