soul sleep or soul awake?

I know this topic gets brought up a lot on the radio show. I don't really care one way or the other myself. But I was just reading through Ephesians and I came across a verse that stood out to me that I don't think I've heard applied to this topic. In Eph 3:14-15 it says For this reason I bow my kne...

Re: Who goes first?

The idea that Christians will be taken up, then the earth burned, then they return is a premillennial Idea. This is the key, thank you. I do agree that all these events will take place on one day at the end. My confusion was that I was fairly sure I had heard the "take up/burn/return" view from one...

Re: God married to sisters?

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I hope that it didn't come across that I thought God was wrong to portray Himself this way. I always assume that God is right and I need to figure out why if I don't understand. I was just curious why God (being infinitely creative) would have chosen this particular met...

Re: Robin Hood

Can the argument in favor of claiming benefits consistent of anything substantially different than "Since I had been plundered when I was young to support those who are old, I must be therefore be entitled to plunder those who are young now that I am old."? it seems to me that if a person has $100,...

You're right, David did have a certain recklessness that was used for both good and ill in his lifetime.

Do elders need to have children?

I have heard Steve mention a couple times that he thinks the marriage requirement for elders is not just that they not be polygamists (in order to accurately portray Christ and the church) , but also that an elder should not be a single man (in order to show that he can run his house well). At least...

Re: Evangelizing Children

My children are 5, 3, and 0.58. I have many of the same concerns as you, I'm curious to see what answers you receive. As far as the age of accountability thing goes though, I can hardly think that God would nail a child on lack of baptism if they should happen to die at a young age (even if past "ac...

Sabbath breaking

For the purposes of this question, let's assume that in Mt 12:1-8, Jesus' disciples were in fact breaking the Sabbath. I know there is much debate over this point, but that is not where I'm going with this and I don't want to derail the question. I am looking at Mt 12:1-8 along with Num 15:32-36. In...

God married to sisters?

Jeremiah 3 and Ezekiel 23, God portrays Himself as married to sisters (Judah and Israel). Why do you think He chose to do so in light of Leviticus 18:18, which seems to forbid one man taking as wives two sisters? I'm not taking issue with polygamy in general, as it seems that was not forbidden in th...
