Yes, it was. I am not sure why S. Michael Houdmann only places the taking of the vow as an Old Testament thing. In Acts 21:20-26, Paul also pays for and...
I humbly submit for your consideration that within what is generally called Christendom there are many varying degrees of believers, as an example like those...

A follow on to this question... In Acts 18:18 it states "Paul, having remained many days longer, took leave of the brethren and put out to sea for Syria, and...
In short, basically you are asking: is it possible to judge whether a person is Christian or not by mere appearance? Okay let me quote Jesus on judging:...
Do you believe that Jesus paid for all your sins and that he was buried and rose again on the third day, and you believe He did it all for you because He...

So what does it mean Jesus is the door? What is the "way" in John 14? I know what I believe about this but don't exactly understand what you understand. I...

There are a number of terms in Scripture that are sometimes translated 'hell'. Hades (NT) and Sheol (OT) are the most common. They both mean the grave, or...
Jesus was a Jew, born and raised in Israel. He was most likely brown. God called Abraham to start the nation of Israel as God's own people. Abraham was...

I'm glad you asked. We see in Genesis 3:11-13 (Life Application Bible Notes) when God asked Adam about his sin, Adam blamed Eve. Then Eve blamed the serpent....

James, how can we reap what we sow? The criminal on the cross reaped a bitter harvest indeed, but was instantly saved. It is hard to imagine one not being...
The Bible repeatedly says that appearances can be deceiving to human eyes (1 Samuel 16:7), and also that a person is known by his deeds, rather than by his...

I agree with Jennifer's view. I will go with what Christ taught. He distinguished the body and soul, which is traditionally consistent with Jewish theology...

Very informative article. I had never heard of the group. If these claims are true, then I agree with Michael that their practices are largely unbiblical.

Salvation is totally apart from works. Romans 11:6 If it was by works, it would not be grace, and if grace, it would not be works. Salvation is a free gift...

Amen Tamara, How hard is it to believe John 3:16. God made it simple so the simple could be saved. I have seen children who were very slow in learning hear...

One further clarification, Jesus preached to 20000 when he fed them. Peter led 5000 to the Lord in one day. NP is not great because they are big. They are...
No, I don't think that God is making his people not turn to him in Isaiah 6:9-10. I think that in Isaiah 6 9-10 God is warning his people of what's to come...

Amen brother, I will see you in heaven. If our sins were not all paid for no one could be saved because we are all sinners. Praise the Lord He saved us by...

Yes, one nuance I believe though, that while the dream is highly symbolic, it is also very literal. Jesus is the Word of God, who became flesh and dwelt...

Since we are here to worship and glorify the Lord, I don't think God would think it to be "precious" if we were unable to do that for thousands of years....

I think the hostility toward religion(as you call it) is brought on in large part by over zealous religious folk trying to force feed society a belief system...
The answer is simple: because Joseph knew adultery was a sin and did not wanted to sin against God's holy Law. Abraham also was fully aware of God's Law...
This is such an important question. Salvation is a free gif of God for all that have trusted Jesus as their only savior. Those that have become a child of...

An individual I know believes he can tell if a person is a Christian just by simply looking at them, what are your opinions on this?
