So, did you get some white hot debates for "chat room chatting" or "table talk" from 'Cain & Abel' or 'Matricide / Patricide'? My personal favorite is 'The Flood' (on my home page) because of the endless speculations of what the antediluvian society was doing before the Biblical flood. Want to try for some more interesting discussions and debates? Then Please, do come in...

"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love, in honor preferring one another;..."Romans 12:10.
Set not your hand against God's anointed.
All believers are God's anointed.
1 Samuel 24:6-10; 26:9;
2 Corinthians 1:21,22
2 Corinthians 1:21; 1 John 2:27
God protects His anointed.
Psalms 20:6
1 Samuel 16:14 says God removed His Spirit from King Saul, however, this did not change the fact that Saul was an "anointed" one of God. David said (in 1 Samuel 24:6-10) he would not set his hand against God's anointed, because, as David said (in 1 Samuel 26:9): "Who Can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's anointed & be guiltless?"
Since all believers are anointed, if we speak evil against each other we are setting our hand against God's anointed. If we see someone with an evil spirit they could be like Saul, an Anointed One. When we see sin in someone's life, do we judge them, setting our hand against God's anointed?
Can Christians truly justify all the bickering and fighting going on amongst themselves? Or the judging of each other & the 'walk of another'? Isn't this setting our hands against God's anointed & how exactly do we justify that? By using miss interpreted scripture or taking the verses out of context?
"Study to show yourselves worthy". Many don't realize that judging in the Bible often means "discerning" between right & wrong--not setting ourselves on God's throne as judges of all mankind. Shouldn't we beware, lest we set our hands against God's anointed?
 | The Liar Hasn't Changed since the Garden! |
Genesis 3:1-6
The Liar told Eve in the garden that.... God was a liar. We can become as gods ourselves. Eating of forbidden fruit doesn't cause death. Satan is more subtle than anything created. The wages of sin is death. We are not gods ourselves but His creation. We rationalize? I wonder why? Do we hear Satan's subtle lies easier than we hear the voice of God? I wonder why? Are we quick to accept Satan's lies and thereby call God a liar? I wonder why? All have sinned & fallen short of the glory of God. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ & YOU WILL BE SAVED.
God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him WILL NOT PERISH.

What is your concept of:
Death?
At the moment of sudden or near sudden death, do people writhe in pain? Why did God create 'shock"? Isn't it true that while we are in shock we feel no pain, it's only after the shock wears off that we start to suffer? Doesn't it then stand to reason that when we pass from life to death that we do not suffer any pain at all?
I wonder why God allows the deaths of small children? Shouldn't He leave them in our capable hands, where they are abused, raped, slowly starved and taught God is a liar and Satan rules? Where they too can suffer heartbreak, physical, mental and spiritual anguish? Where they can go to sleep hungry or hurt? By all means, shouldn't He leave these small defenseless ones in our capable hands?
Aren't children gifts to be cherished? Aren't they entrusted to us until they are 'of age' at which time the Lord takes over their education? Observing things that are happening to our children these days, don't you wonder that He allows us to have any at all? However, I suppose that if He bestows a gift then He can reclaim it and call them home to paradise at a moments notice. If He calls them home before the 'age of accountability' aren't they singing in paradise?
Do we only believe the things we choose to believe? Doesn't the Bible teach we shouldn't fear death? That death is only the beginning of a new life? Isn't it simply a case of fearing what we don't understand?
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways, my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, & my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8).
And though I have bound & strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me." (Hosea 7:15).
