    History is scary. The present even scarier....

    Yes, thank you, Ecclesiastes 7:10. Once the Israelites left Egypt, in a short time they started to complain - Numbers 11:5-6,10 Perhaps thinking since Pharaoh and his army drowned they could return to Egypt and Not be in slavery. They began to look behind and we should not want to look behind...

    Was Paul a legitimate apostle?

    Jesus chose 12 Apostles because each Apostle has a throne in heaven to judge the 12 tribes of Israel in the end of days. Only 12 are allowed because there are only 12 thrones of judgement. Judas was removed as an Apostle because he helped to cause the death of Jesus by betrayal all the while...

    How do you know you're saved?

    Consider the wording from one who ought to have the most confidence of all, the main early evangelist, Paul. Yet as he wrote: "...If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of...

    How to Know if You Are Saved?

    That's for the reason given in the parable, for which it helps to read more parables, and then the message is more clear, as laid out some in the above post. We hear this on that question, from Paul to converted believers (no less): Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have...

    Kangaroos are not real

    Maybe Kangaroos are pokemon? Another possibility is that they are fan art for Winnie the Poo, a cross between Tigger and Rabbit.

    Kangaroos are not real

    Forgetting those things which are behind . . . I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. —Philippians 3:13-14 Clearly a reference to kangaroos and emus, since neither can walk backwards. Now show us where any of the ridiculously farcical American wildlife...

    Do you want to debate the Bible, djhwoodwerks?

    Yes, but to be found righteous in the end is not the same as choosing which place you want to be in the end. Righteousness is not something to covet. To covet righteousness is like wanting a heart. I have a heart. I do not have to want a heart. Haha. Do you?

    Do you want to debate the Bible, djhwoodwerks?

    OK. Good one! May I? It is sometimes very difficult to be led by Jehovah in Jesus. Hebrews 10:21. [sorry. Hebrews 10:31] If ever a disciple becomes less than enthusiastic he has to "press on". To the end? NO! How can he do that while being led? It means the writer had to keep faith that...

    Do you want to debate the Bible, djhwoodwerks?

    Philippians 3:13-14 (ESV Strong's) 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

    The True Church

    I believe we don't have to be true because all we need is Jesus and He is true to Himself. The reason the denominations do not agree is that they put themselves ahead of Jesus or just can't hear Him.

    The True Church

    One (or two) don't have to be perfect for Jesus to be in their midst, but they have to be faithful. Philippians 3:13-14 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, [14] I press on...

    Question: "What does it mean that there is no condemnation in Christ (Romans 8:1)?" Answer: “No condemnation” can be defined in courtroom language. To have “no condemnation” declared means to be found innocent of the accusation, to have no sentence inflicted and no guilty verdict found. By the...

    What is Faith?

    Unlike the teaching of Calvinism, God does not have a final destination fixed for individuals till we reach a period of judgement, until then we are in 'the day of salvation' because we still have time to reconcile ourselves to him. (2 Corinthians 5:20; 2 Corinthians 6:2) "Brothers, I do not...

    Angels and Demons becoming Man

    You're little spiritual scenario doesn't speak hope much to me at all. What it does speak is injustice for the disenfranchised. But what do you care, so long as you're one of the fabled "144,000?"

    Angels and Demons becoming Man

    One could add Paul's words here: "Brothers, I do not yet consider myself as having taken hold of it; but one thing is certain: Forgetting the things behind and stretching forward to the things ahead," - Philippians 3:13 Of course he was talking about his heavenly hope, but the principle...

    Jesus a Religious Reformer, or Transformer?

    There is a difference between seeking that is is far greater then you, compared to being what you are seeking after. I am I pressing toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. I have not arrived. Philippians 3:13-15 (King James Version) 13 Brethren, I count...

    Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy

    It's called exegesis. The goal of interpretation is not to come up with the most unique interpretation, but to discover the original intended meaning of a passage – the way the original audience understood it. You are so hung up on the ONE phrase, you are overlooking the book as a whole...

    James, the Lord's brother

    Philippians 2:25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. Philippians 2:24-26 (in Context) Philippians 2 (Whole Chapter) Philippians 3:1 [ No Confidence in the...
