Remember faithful people like Jonathan were burned after death besides un-faithful - Joshua 7:25; 1 Samuel 31:8-13
Cremation speeds up the process of Genesis 3:19 ( dust )
So cremation was an acceptable way to treat remains - 2Samuel2:4-6.
Of course, the feelings of others could enter into the...
Why are you ignoring the role of the prophet Samuel?
1 Samuel 16:13. 'Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward.'
So, who anointed David, with the LORD's approval? Was David made king of...
Which part of what I said are you declaring to be "baseless"?
David was anointed by "the men of Judah" in Hebron, says 2Samuel2:4. You think that means all of them, or just their leaders? You think their religious leaders were nonetheless not involved? Really?
Well, first of all the Bible doesn't say anything for or against so whatever you decide is in line with that. The Bible says from dust we came and to dust we return. Cremation is just the quickest way to do that.
In the past Jews and Catholics have taken a negative view on the burning of the...
David was a king Messiah because he was anointed to be king in Israel. There were several kinds of anointed ones aka Messiahs; the king, the High Priest and the People as the Messiah. All the other Messiahs were mortal ones. Only the Anointed People would remain as a People before the Lord...
Hang on. I do believe the prophecy of Habakkuk. I do not have a problem with His people becoming the Anointed One. It's you that are beheading Israel, not me! I believe that the Lord anoints his people, thereby making them holy. In my understanding of scripture the head is securely attached to...
“Christ” comes from christos, a Greek word meaning “anointed.”
So ...
The High Priest and the king are each sometimes called "the anointed" (Leviticus 4:3-5, 4:16; 6:20; Psalm 132:10). Prophets were also anointed with the Holy anointing oil (1 Kings 19:16; 1 Chronicles 16:22; Psalm 105:15)...
So, you're saying -- based on what appears to be mere similarity -- that the Founders based the Constitution on the government set up by Moses? Do you have any words of the Founders to that effect? Anything at all that they said about basing the Constitution on the government of Moses? Or are...
actually, our gov is very similar to the one set up by Moses during the exodus. If you remember, everyone was coming to Moses with their disputes, and he was unable to handle it all, so he prayed, and God told him how to set up a system for everyone to take care of their problems?
instead of...
OK – now that we are over here in debate (thanks by the way). The issue seems to stem from the need to separate church and state. I agree that no one should be forced to go to church, but everyone needs to recognize that our country is founded on and successful because it is patterned...

Giants of Gath
David Gaddy
Posted on 10/03/2001
We all have heard the story of David and how he slew Goliath the giant of the Philistines. But just in case, let's recap a bit...
Hi there Hawkfum.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Archangel Michael was God's first creation. Perhaps you are using another source?
However, some Christians would hold that Michael is Jesus. Jehovah's Witnesses, in particular, maintain that Jesus is Michael and use it as evidence to...
