if God says 'not", why would that mean something different to anyone-? i mean, if you say 'no', i know what that means. if i say "no", you know what that means. why is there ANY contention concerning God's meaning-? why would you chastise me, for advocating God's Word-?

of course, but that isn't the 'why', that is the RESULT. again i ask 'WHY-?" kinda wierd, both of you being named Eric-lol my agenda is TRUTH, (that should be EVERYONE'S agenda)- however obviously not i am COMMANDED RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT, i accept that even i alone, may be the only Christian who observes the commands of his Father. if i speak falsely, it wouldn't be accepted, (THAT MAKES SENSE) yet i speak the Word of God, and it isn't accepted, (that IS evil) why can't scri[pture be honored on the forum why is the WORD of God, made as though dead-? i'm confused, and i pray you are aswell, (because if you are CERTAIN THE WORD OF GOD CANNOT BE DISCUSSED HERE-yes, i would questuion alot more than just a forum posting...

of course, but that isn't the 'why', that is the RESULT. again i ask 'WHY-?"

my Bible says not to learn the 'way of the heathen', that means anything-anywhere Forgive me, perhaps there are sub-contexts in another Bible, i'm not aware of. But what does it mean to learn the ways of the heathen? Does that mean anything a heathen thinks of to do? I mean, where do you draw the line? Even the internet on which you are posting may have been created by the heathen? To me it comes down to if something is sinful. I have no reason to believe it is a sin to have a Christmas tree, if that is what you are refering to. At the same time, it is a great sin to bow down to idols. the Command is God's. draw the line as you have...

again i would ask...."why-?"-lol

yes, but WHY-? It is not the type of question that I believe he was wanting a yes or no answer to. It was a question given to make us think. He knows the answer to all things, so he certainly doesn't need for us to clear things up in his mind. People will go more and more into heretical end times doctrines, and it is to make us think when we see this coming to pass. Look at the next verses from 1 Timothy 4:2-5 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their consceince seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused,if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. The point is that people will depart from the true faith in the end times. Not everyone, but likely a great number if not the vast majority. yes, i agree, the question is posed TO MAKE YOU THINK. Having said that, WHY-? SOMETHING HAPPENS, (or rather doesn't happen) to make that an earnest query, why is there a great falling away- why-?

my Bible says not to learn the 'way of the heathen', that means anything-anywhere Forgive me, perhaps there are sub-contexts in another Bible, i'm not aware of.

yes, but WHY-?

don't get caught with your pants-down. it isn't 'global-warming'-true science reveals increased hurricanesd when th earth cools. the coronas of every planet in our solar-sustem have incereased 200 %, since '91 it's solar-warming

a degre different in the universe-we wouldn't exist a degree closer to the sun, we wouldn't exist one further, and we wouldn't exist if the other planets in our system were off a fraction, we wouldn't exist if the air-quality, water purifaction, weather,geology, rotaion of the earth, the sun's temperature, the earths temperature,the gravitatiopnal forces, magenetic, electrical, thermo-voltaic, thermal-ractive, quantity of resources, adaptation of the human physic, our ability to heal,reproduce, any of these altered one iota, and we cease to exist. i have the greatest faith, of any man i've met- reams of resources PROVING my faith. However, i would be quick to point-out, that ANY PAGAN has GREATER FAITH, in what he cannopt prove- compoared to me, and what i CAN prove.

see, for me, i'm the only one on earth, who has a Bible equipped with these passages, (or at least OBSERVES them)-how about you-?

"When I return, will I find FAITH-?" i know the answer, however that isn't doing you any good- (and apparently i'm not allowed to answer for you).

guess 'm lock-step with you on this issue. PROTECTING WRONG DOCTRINE, IS LIKE PROTECTING A VIRUS, IT WILL KILL THE 'PROTECTOR'.

This makes sense. I'll buy it. Two questions though: 1. Is this scripturally supported? 2. Two "dating" teenagers sharing a kiss is premarital sex? I guess the answer to my first question was No and the answer to my second question was Yes. Thank you. np Bro', collectively, it's OUR job

and to this, iwould say, (in my tiny lil' Christian mind)- If i love God with ALL MY HEART, wouldn't i CHOOSE to KEEP the WHOLE LAW-? or do i show all my love by SELECTIVELY living as commanded-? do you think i can show the love of ALL MY HEART, by disregarding whatever I FEEL GOD doesn't want-? or do i show "All the LOVE in my HEART" by IGNORING HIS WORD-?? kinda more rhetorical, i guess-
