Well put, Danny, the subtlety with which the characters are portrayed as "nice" or "honorable" is deceiving and makes young minds think it's OK to delve into...

There are also many things that don't happen but people think they do. The question of authority is central here. Christians are told not to believe just...
Proverbs 11:4 The Proverbs of Solomon 4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

My observation: The plagues were specific and none targeted the “wealth/hard currency/gold etc...” of Pharaoh or the Egyptians. Hence, I do agree 100% with...

Mark, in my view, anyone saying that God changed His mind is defying the teaching of Scripture. It's very easy to fling that around. I've done it too many...

Shirley, sounds scary. Were you scared? Another song, a contemporary Christian song, that goes along with my answer above (MICAH 7:19) is Morgan Cryar - What...
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...

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...
