plaetton: Referering tot he bolded in red, did yahweh really say that? what world, this world? Save the world from what, if I may ask?

Save the world or wreck the world?

Jesus supposedly came and went, and........?

1. The jew rejected his messaihship, so obviously, yahweh miscalculated.
Not so?
2. There is no evidence that the world became a better place after Jesus.
Infact, one can make the argument that the world became a more chaotic and rancurous one right after jesus came and left.

Again, it would seem that yahweh and the scriptures are wrong.

Finis Jennings Dake (1902–1987) was an American Pentecostal minister and evangelist known primarily for his writings on the subjects of Pentecostal (or Charismatic) Evangelical Christian spirituality and Premillennial Dispensationalism. His most well known work was the Dake Annotated Reference Bible.

Christian conversion and controversy
Dake became a Christian at age 17. Dake claimed that upon his conversion he received a 'special anointing' which allowed him to quote major portions of Scripture from memory. He preached his first sermon in 1925 and was ordained by the Assemblies of God denomination two years later. After working as a pastor and evangelist in Texas and Oklahoma, he moved to Zion, Illinois, in order to become the pastor of the Christian Assembly Church. In Zion, he also founded Shiloh Bible Institute, which ultimately merged with Central Bible Institute and which was located in the home formerly owned by controversial faith healer John Alexander Dowie.

During Dake’s ministry in Zion, he was the center of a controversy. In 1937, he was convicted of violating the Mann Act by willfully transporting 16-year-old Emma Barelli across the Wisconsin state line “for the purpose of debauchery and other immoral practices.” The May 27, 1936, issue of the Chicago Daily Tribune reported that Dake registered at hotels in Waukegan, Bloomington, and East St. Louis with the girl under the name "Christian Anderson and wife". In order to avoid a jury trial and the possibility of being sentenced to a maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of $10,000, Dake pled guilty. Subsequently, he served six months in the House of Corrections in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[1] Though he maintained his innocence of intent, his ordination with the Assemblies of God was revoked and he later joined the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee). While it is not known why he later ended his relationship with the Church of God, it is known that he eventually became independent of any denomination.

Writings
The Dake Annotated Reference Bible (1963) was the first widely published study bible produced by someone from within Pentecostalism. His annotated Authorized King James Version of the Bible took seven years to complete. The 35,000 notes in the Dake Bible are considered by Christian theologians to be personal, rather than Biblically-based, commentary. Along with Dake's annotated Bible, his other writings have been the source of controversy amongst theologians. While a small number of Christian theologians see his viewpoints on the gap theory and adoptionism to be possibilities, his interpretation of the Trinity is largely considered unorthodox and is rejected amongst Trinitarians and non-Trinitarians alike. Aside from the Dake Annotated Reference Bible, his other works include God's Plan for Man, Revelation Expounded, and Bible Truths Unmasked.

Thanks for your exposition on the issue. But why did Jesus indirectly refer to the woman as a dog. He said "it is not good to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs" what did He mean by the statement?

Acidosis: I used to be a regular poster on this section until the day I observed a very embarrasing thing...
Why would he (Seun) mix up the Christians, Pagans, atheists, Idol worshippers on a section excluding the muslims..? Is Islam not a RELIGION?
oh...mukina is a muslim anyway, and you? its obvious...you do not believe in God!

Gosh! I hate this section!

Why is it that atheists talk so much about religion? It strikes me that they are always going on and on about religion, sometimes more than the Christians.
If y'all truly believed that God does not exist, why do y'all spend so much effort, strenghts and time trying to defeat the idea of Him?
Why are y'all bitter about the beliefs of others who care less about your opinions on tithes, jets, pastors et cetera..? Why do y'all show bitterness towards Churches and Pastors..?

Seriously, why are you all obsessed with God? Every sentence is like 'God doesn't exist'. Who cares really? If you don't believe in God then that is your problematic problem and opinionated opinion but why bother going on about it so much?
What are your problems

It's interesting isn't it? You atheists gravitate toward this section, which is about RELIGION, when y'all claim to have none! What a gross confusion! What a discombobulated disorientation!

And to the mods, have you guys placed sentimental embargo on bans? I mean, why can't you ban bigots? derailers? off-posters? atheists posting on Christian-related thread?

Finally, Christians, please stop arguing the word of God...especially with unbelievers... Stop typing argumentative epistles just because you wanna convince some persons with hearts of stone.. Preach the gospel, don't argue the gospel.

...always remember, all unbelievers are enemies of God & God is not a respecter of anyone!

#shalom!

45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Pastor Kun: Checked again,can't see the mail.

plaetton: Hhmmm!
Quite interesting coming from a christian.
Quite a number of folks on and off this forum would say that you are not a real christian, simply because you don't seem to be applying the so-called scriptural or spiritual reasoning to twist the bible to suit your whims.

We have been told numerous times that reading the bible is not an intellectual excercise, but a spiritual one.
Go figure that one!

Maxymilliano: JeSoul can you push this thread to the front page?

The 15 years old lady in question was almost killed for her beliefs in Girls education in a hostile terrain like Pakistan where such is considered an anomaly.

She has been nominated alongside others for 2013 Nobel Peace Prize coming up in October. We don't need to wait till she get the award before we celebrate her, the prelude to her nomination need to be aired and that's why I'm craving your indulgence.

I sincerely believes she will clinch the award due to the peculiarity of her case, it is not easy to have a near death experience with holes in your head and still remain the same, she just had a successful surgery where titanium plates was used to cover the holes left in her skull.

Her story is inspiring and she deserve all the good wish she can get from every part of the World... The title may be changed if need be.

Thanks in anticipation.
