If you have ever been judged by someone who looked at outward appearances, without first having made effort to see your heart, you are not alone. The scribes and Pharisees sat in Moses' seat, while he took the wrap (Mt. 32:2). There was no Christ in their message, for if righteousness could be obtained by following the law, then Christ died in vain (Ga. 2:21). One day, Moses called the Lord "the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" (Lu. 20:3) and God called him to the bush over it. ...

    Sharing the full mystery of the cross---       Amillennialism!     What does the Bible teach about this subject of "amillennialism" in light of the full gospel of the Kingdom (and not just the 2/3's of the gospel currently taught in the modern church)?       In light of the full gospel message, I think the most important thing for a believer to actually take away about the subject of amillennialism is that it is the biblical based view of the early church... ...

Life is precious in God's eyes, whether it is yours or your neighbors. The only goal in war as a Christian should be defensive, and just to prevent someone or something from killing you, or your nation.

Jesus said that "the meek shall inherit the earth." But my mind and heart tells me that statement didn't mean NOT ...

The religious political right has consistently subverted language and meaning, portraying themselves as 'persecuted,' even as they aggressively attack the rights of disfavored groups - women, gays, minorities, adherents of other religious traditions, etc. During House floor debate in 2006, Rep. John Hostettler (R-Ind) attacked Democrats who proposed a bill condemning "abusive religious proselytizing" at the Air Force Academy, in the wake of accounts of anti-Semitic treatment of a Jewish cadet; ...
