Sandy has correctly answered this statement, to the best of my knowledge. In the contextual usage of freedom it refers to those in Christ and being free is simply; free from sin. As Sandy stated earlier it is free from the curse of death, relatively we can connect it to Romans 6:23 The...
You can't.
Like Christiangirl said it we all deserve hell when it comes down to it, but on the contrary, we can not be sure how far His grace measures...:D
God is outside of our culture out side of our ethical viewpoints, outside of our sense of morality. Imago Dei, Latin image of God. We are all born in the image of God, in which a sense of morality was intrinsically born into us, it must be taught though. If God was bound to our morality he would...
Im pretty sure it is a beautiful way to pray, but I have to agree with Soy. If Jesus himself shot a woman down for praying to his mother, are we not to live by that example? Why would we do something that Jesus instructed the woman not to do? Arent we to follow Christ in His footsteps hand and...

not too long ago since those days for me..but yea,i as well like the part with the crickets. your poem was brought to life with a sense of emotion we all felt as you described "the good ol' days"

I might be the only one to agree that inspired does mean perfection. Reasons- 1) We all agree "All scripture is God-breathed" (2 Tim 3:16) 2) The Greek word in this passage "theopneustos" does not mean "inspired of God" Rather God-breathed, as a product of the creative breath of God. Ex. God...
Exactly that is where I say it should/could be looked at as a textbook. In a sesne of textbook, it ought to be studied. Right? Into what it actually is saying, so that we don't take things out of context, misinterpret..etc. Ex. This girl was smoking a cigar when we went to Applebee's outside of...
I disagree...The Bible can be looked at as both. A textbook, that teaches an individual how to attain salvation, and live a life worth living. Because after all...it is a history book.
Ohh ok, it did bring understandment. Reading back over it, its very nice, I enjoyed reading over it 3...4...5...6..times now that you explained it. It could be (not sure if you meant it to be) a play on words, in refernce to...iono LIFE in some aspect in a sense of search for truth, eh only in...

"maybe the shade should step out of our shadows" i really dont understand that like you would probably want people too...but to some degree i do. i understand enough to say....i think I'm going to use that in my next sermon..ill quote you though...im jus kidding. really though, nice sense...
Ohh ok, no, Biblically the word predestination has nothing to do with whether or not we are going to heaven or hell. I do not believe God will damn people to heaven or hell on his choice. Then again, He is God and if he wants, he can. I use the word predestination in reference to those who are...
