Hello Saltmeister. I wasn't being sarcastic but was aiming for some humour, an off the cuff remark. What I think I mean is that I am unable to master myself because my fallen nature is too powerful yet I am held responsible for my fallen nature. Any seeming improvement I make in regard to...

I've mastered myself - I can't seem to stop doing things I don't want to do. john. :)

Hello Quahom. I understand the expression, "She wears the trousers in that house." Is never said as a compliment. However, "He's a pompous so and so." Is also a non-compliment. That is right, women have been complicit in this, it suits many of them. 'Women will suffer during child birth...

Hello Saltmeister. "...Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." Gen 3:16. Sexual inequality is part of the fall and should not be continued by Christians. If there is ambiguity in the scriptures then we should go for sexual equality first. Eve was made a suitable...

GE 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. We were created as creators. I cannot believe it took thousands of years for man to go from those wonderful cave paintings, with the science needed to make the pigments, to writing...

Who decides who is allowed to teach, preach or speak a Mosque arif? Is there a governing body and are they subject to the congregation, so to speak? john.

God blesses one and curses another although there is nothing to choose between them. He chose to love Jacob and hate Esau before they had been born or had done anything right or wrong. Rom 9:10-13. He says He hardens men's heart at will and has compassion on whoever He wants to have compassion...

Hello Caimanson. Not really but I'll have a go. If the Church has property that it lets out to the public then the Church is not allowed to discriminate on the grounds of homosexuality. If a person wants to use the Church hall he cannot be barred because of his nature if that hall is open for...

I wonder why Christians think they have a right to impose biblical restraints on worldly men? Why is it that we think we can change another person's nature by proscribing what he does? An homosexual is an homosexual why cause him to be a persecuted minority as well? What two people get up to in...

Hello E99. I recognise no distinction, who says? Now what you are saying is, JN 2:19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will not raise it again in three days my Father will." I think you should deal with the words of Jesus as truth. "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it...

Hello E99. Sorry it has taken so long to reply, please forgive me. I'll start at the end. :cool: For the past two years I have been working on a website that sells Lego. We get orders in from all parts of the world for individual bricks that people need to finish their particular model off...

Hello E99 nice to meet you. :cool: You are correct. 24 hours is the time it takes for the world to spin once on it's axis. The translators were well aware of the word's meanings. Is it for you to disagree with God's appointed translators and to teach others in disagreement with them? That's...

Hello tommy. I said: Today's God is not the same as the God of old. The God portrayed in scripture, the God of wrath has been replaced with Sweet Jesus.. I had no intention of portraying God has having changed rather that people do not care for the God of wrath and have excluded Him from...

Hello tommy. I'm sorry to hear about your bit of bother. Rev 21:2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and...

Hello tommy. No problem nor need to explain. First of all men will be human. Secondly, as to the 'how' I haven't a clue but the scripture says that those already dead do feel pain. ...to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. 2 Peter 2:9. (Luke...

The OT was completed by the Jews, Jesus did not question them but used them as they stood. LK 24:25 He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" 27 And...

Hello Jibran nice to meet you. We prove the Trinity from scripture not science, from prophets not scientists. The bible tells us, To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.. Isaiah 8:20. Newton stood on the shoulders of giants...

It falls over on it's own doesn't it Arizona? If a quarantine has been lifted what of those before the quarantine had been lifted? 1 Cor 2:14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them...

Hello Q. I don't understand your remark. I made no assumption but quoted scripture. Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." John 6:65 He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him." He does not enable everyman...

Hello Thomas nice to meet you. The Church of England's 39 Articles are Calvinistic and opposes your Not one soul was lost for the want of the love of God. I believe scripture opposes the view that God loves all men. Romans 9:10 Not only that, but Rebekah's children had one and the same...
