We basically got ourselves into the situation we are in now, regardless of our view of how or even if God mediated the origination of it. The point is, do we...

I have heard others say that also, Donna. I believe it comes from 2 Peter 1:20, but verse 21 clarifies what Peter is actually saying: 2 Peter 1:20-21...

Thanks for your comment, Jennifer! I appreciate your understanding of 1 Cor 13:10. We are certainly in disagreement. I understand our "spiritual blessings"...

The "Perfect" in 1 Cor 13:10 is not scripture, but the world to come where we see Jesus face to face. And Paul himself often spread the gospel accompanied by...

Hello Julie Favazza! I respectfully show that Peter was speaking to Israel in Acts (exception of Cornelius). We Gentiles at that time were without God until...
