Don't you think it goes back to what the scriptures say about the " man changing the color of his skin or the spots on the leapord" The scriptures say in Jeremiah 13:23 that the heart of an individual that is accustomed to doing evil can not do good- the evil kind'a becomes the primary nature. It's all its ever known. It require something to help it (heart) change. The inheritence comes from the thought that it does not matter who wou

Don't you think it goes back to what the scriptures say about the " man changing the color of his skin or the spots on the leapord" philomedy. There are desire inherient in man that he can not change. For some it may be homosexuality, for some beating their wives, for some it is allowing the opver-powering of alchol/drugs to cause them to devour their family, for some cheating their neighbor- if it's not a choice doesn't it have to be something in them

You get an insightful ttraider82 That's the faith described in James2:14-26. When this action is the results of the Spirit of God in a believer- it's praise and worship. What about when it done out of the rules and regulations in the church? preacherman

Sorry philomedy I hit the submit button before finishing the thought. The nation or individual willfully rejects God: God turns them over to a reprobate mind- God gives them up unto vile affections: for even thir womwen did change the natural use into that which is against nature, and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiv

A Nation Void of God For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power abd Godhead, so that they are without excuse. The order is this a nation (or individual)

So appears from most of the discussion that they are a vast majortiy who feel a nation does not need to recognize God. That a nation would be fine if there was no involvement from God? preacherman

I was under the impression that your original question called for differing opinions...what seems odd is that now, having realized that you can't make all of us agree with you, you have resorted to calling people antichrists...tsk tsk...WWJD?

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. Every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God and this is that spirit of antichrist. To all reading this thread- does it seem odd that such an antichrist-spirit would dwell on a religion blog site. Just another proof that the Word of God is

I think I'm getting a little off topic here No problem Molly- It appears a little strange that you don't believe God was involved in writing the Bible and you ran across this on a Religious Blog page. The Bible says that God did write the Bible ref- 2 Peter 1:20 & 21 knowing this first that no

I was talking about all Christian denominations that profess Jesus Christ to be the Son of God and attonment for the sin of the world. With regard to which Bible- that is a good question. I think we have more translation of the Bible in the English language, yet the Church in America seems to give more attention to satisfying the flesh than to teaching the sound doctrine from the scriptures. So an interesting question is, did we need any other

Reply to The Word of God in Religion JoeUser Forums

I appreciate the discussion and it has been an interesting one to say the least, but I have noticed something that I would light to bring to light. This thread started out as a discussion around the "importance of God's Word on the Church today". It appears the discussion has moved in the direction of what influeence should the Word of God have on a nation's society, or maybe someone who does not even believe in God? Some of the responses have

Hello Marcie, I gave you an insightful for that. Seems to me, it's pretty simple.... God can reveal His word to anyone. I agree, it seems we live in a society that has found every reason to tolerate what the Bible has said is wrong. It's kind'a like the frog that was boiled to death- old days of science. If you take a boiling pot of water and throw a frog in, he immediatley expells himself from the uncomfortable temperature of the wa

T-Bone if you have a copy of the scriptures, read Act chapter 17 Paul's witness to the Athenians. (vs30) The Word says that because of their idolatry, God had winked at (overlooked) their sin and wilful rejection of His Christ in times past but now it is time to get serious about their condition because He hath appointed a day in which He would judge the world in righteousness, by that man (Christ Jesus) He hath ordained. Do you think God is "playing

Quite impressive.... the detail of your verbiage. It is one thing if a particular Chruch wants to take a "moral" position on the issue but it should not presume to try and mandate their particular "interpretation" of the Bible on the whole of society via governmental laws. You bring up a va

I agree Danny, I think there are some churches, few and far between, (not really contingent on denominational affiliation) that does believe the Word of God. Does there seem to be a more blatant and open rebellion by many denominations to areas that are not grey, but black & white issues? preacherman

Why would an atheist celebrate the birth of Christ? For commercial reasons. Man does a lot for the mighty dollar! Will sell the gifts and call it a holiday tree instead of a Christmas tree. I heard on the news last night that Califonia is going through a terrilbe drought. They said the only hop

I agree even though Christmas is not pagan it has evolved into a very secular holiday. It appears to be the same evolution that we are seeing in the church. Less Spirit and more flesh. Do you think? Christian skin stretched over a framework of bones far older than Christianity. How far back do

There is no need for a creator or created. Unless the Word of God is True and you have to stand before Him? Consider His mercy and grace! God Bless preacherman

True so true sabbatismus- There is nothing wrong with celebrating the birth of Christ. Imagine, the creator became a man- Emmanuel "God is with us". I have no problem celebrating, except for the way it has been commercialized. Don't you think the meaning has been obscured by the emphasis on the material? Merry Christmas God Bless preacherman
