Please explain to us your understanding of Rahab's action. was it sin? Rahab came to my mind also, Homer, so pardon me but I just can't wait to jump in here ahead of Timios. Joshua 2:4-6 Then the woman (Rahab)...said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from ( not true ). A...

If there is more than one man who meets the requirements for an Elder, wouldn't it be a reasonable for the congregation to recognized him for what he is...an Elder? I've learned that the reason we view church leadership as residing in one man is because that's what we've been taught by the systems w...

Hello Singalphile, I agree with most of what you said in your response to me, but I'm trying to understand your position better. I bet if we could discuss this over a cup of hot coffee (and a slice of fresh apple pie) we would quickly discover we are pretty much in agreement. However, we are left to...

Biblically, a "heresy" (hairesis) is a sect, division, faction, and a "heretic" (hairetikos) is one disposed to such, a schismatic. Debating and disagreement is fine, as far as I know, as long as those involved won't get all heretical (i.e., divisive and factious) about it. First-century Jews consi...

I noticed that when you gave examples of scenarios in which you believe it right to kill people, you didn't include examples remotely similar to the incidents described above. (Uzzah & Onan) Right.

You find it absurd? Absurd to state that God is not a killer... Absolutely absurd (Wildly unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate). How about yourself? Can you go ahead and kill people, and still be a good, loving, and righteous member of your community? Another absurdity from you, as if I condon...

...the Father does not kill That's an absurd statement. It is the product of a humanistic thinker who sets himself above God and Scripture, who endorses novel doctrine about God's character by discarding or ignoring clearly contradictory Scripture, who points to other fantasizers for validation of ...

Richard Murray wrote: We must let the character of God define Scripture RATHER than allowing the Scripture to define God's character. At first glance, Murray's is a silly and superficial statement that sounds like it has more depth than it actually does. It reminds me of a cheap sentiment popular y...

Murray said Jesus is not a child-killer! A child-thriller yes! But a child-killer NEVER! It is impossible that Murray is ignorant of 2 Samuel 12:12-15, where we read that: 1. Nathan prophesied David's child would die, 2. the Lord struck the child and it became ill, 3. the child died. This syllogism ...
