  1. Sorry, I am of no help on this one.
  2. Yes Zion, we don't see that often. When Jim was nearing the end of his interview you could see a tear had run down his face. Most unusual in that part of the world.
  3. I just watched a youtube of Jim Caviezel who played the rolf of Jesus in The Passion of the Christ. This is the title so that you can search itout, if you like. Rock Church - Special Guest Jim Caviezel by Jim Caviezel & Dave Cooper I had not known that Caviezel is a Christian! Great interview. If you want the URL send me a pm and I will furnish it to you.

  5. Was Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrested by the Revolutionary Guard? President Ahmadinejad was allegedly questioned for seven hours He 'was warned against disclosing information damaging to Islamic regime' Ahmadinejad involved in a political feud with the Larijani family His alleged arrest comes just a month before Iran's general election http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2317844/Was-Iran-s-President-Mahmoud-Ahmadinejad-arrested-Revolutionary-Guard.html
  6. Have any of you thought of composing a letter to leave for your family and friends for the aftermath of being raptured? This is not a discussion for those of you who do not believe in a pre-tribuation rapture, nor for those of you who do not believe in a rapture at all. I ask this as a matter of making arrangements for those you love who may not believe in Jesus. I am sure some of our family/friends know that we are Christians and what we believe, but for others a well written letter explaining what has happened, and a few well thought out Bible verses would also be helpful. This is something that might be helpful for His next appearance; Matthew 24:25-27 King James Version (KJV) 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024&version=KJV There is some talk that people will be told that those who disappear will be said to have been abducted by aliens, by those who take over control of what is left. We do not want to leave people to believe this from Satan and his crew. Food for thought, while we still have the time!

  16. Ah yes! Romans 5 and up! Was just reading there last night and this morning.
  17. Add to your comment (IMO) that we need to have all our sins confessed, moment by moment. I do not want to stand before our Lord and Creator with unconfessed sin in me.
  18. http://crossroad.to/articles2/0013/EconomicCollapse/4-tunnel_people.htm I had no idea. . .
  19. http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H5903&t=KJV Thought you might like to see this. I have often thought that they might have lost something more than their innocence. People who have had dreams/visions and or NDE's often say they see Jesus clothed in bright light, and it is thought that is perhaps what the first couple lost when they sinned - their clothing of light which represents Holiness, but to my knowledge we have no proof of this. If the verses you added in post 10 pertain to this heavenly light as clothing, it is not spelled out clearly enough for most of us. In time we will see for our self!
  20. I can only imagine the horror of being confronted with each and every sin I ever committed at once. I confess that Jesus is Lord and I know my sins are covered, still I make an effort to confess each sin I commit. My desire is to stand before our Creator with as many sins confessed as is possible. I ask Him to reveal to me any sin not now confessed so that I can accomplish my goal.
  21. Once one loses his/her virginity they can never offer it to the person they actually marry, which is a factor, IMO, in addition to what the Bible has to say. That is the only part of self that we have to offer our life partner that is not shared with others.
  22. God created Adam and from Adam Eve was made. Eve was deceived by Satan and she said: “And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. “ (Genesis 3:13) Here we find that Eve was the transgressor – not Adam. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. (1 Tim. 2:14) Gen. 3 14-And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15-And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 19-In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Because Eve was the transgressor she was told that she would suffer by bearing children, but no mention was made as to how Adam would suffer. The ground was cursed and he would have to work for his living as opposed to God furnishing he every need. That was a pretty stiff punishment as I can attest, because getting our soil to produce food is almost impossible. Because God had to furnish this first couple with skins to cover their nakedness it is evident they lost something very vital because of their sin. Since Jesus and the angels most often appear in shining light of some kind I tend to think the light of fellowship and communion with God was lost. I also think they lost their spirit, and that is why we now must have the Holy Spirit in us once we are saved. His Spirit now fills the space vacated by the one we lost through Adam's action of following his wife's decision and go against the advice of God. Eve's future condition of suffering is spelled out, but not Adam's. I am of the opinion that when Adam fell his blood became contaminated with sin. My reason for thinking this is based on the fact that when Jesus was born he could have a human mother but not a human father. No blood passes from the mother to the fetus while in gestation, so no sin is inherited from her. However had Joseph fathered Jesus the sin nature would have passed from him to Jesus and this is why the Holy Spirit had to become the progenitor/father of The Messiah. If any of you raise chickens and have fertile eggs you can see a perfect example of this. Hens can lay eggs without help of the opposite sex. If a rooster is added to the mix and an egg is cracked and there is a spot of blood in that egg it indicates it is fertile – or in other words it is going to produce another fowl. The blood in that egg can only come from the rooster. No unfertilized egg will show blood when cracked. Because the blood is inherited from the male, passed on in what the Bible refers to as “his issue”, we each inherit a sin nature. This is also why King Herod ordered the male babies killed. He knew that he may be killing that forthcoming King of Kings whose blood would be pure. I believe this was an understood fact in their time. One day I want to do more through study on this, though in the verses presented I have a pretty good case. The blood of Jesus had to be without sin so that he could present it to the Father as a propitiation for our sins. Had his blood contained sin Satan would have won his battle hands down. Now back to the original question, no we do not inherit but yes we do inherit our sin nature. This is what the Word has for us; Psalm 51:5 KJV Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Ezekiel 18:18,20 ESV Yet you say, ‘Why should not the son suffer for the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done what is just and right, and has been careful to observe all my statutes, he shall surely live. The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. Galations 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
