I'm not rejoicing over anything in this world. The NT tells me to give myself to Christ and His commandments. The Bible tells me there would wars upon wars, plauges, and more evil. I am to help those I can. I am to leave justice in the hands of the government. I took the Word into prisons...

Not easy! “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor i and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous...

Yes, but is that putting the earthly nature to death?

"Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry" (Col. 3:5). How does one put that earthly nature to death?

That is that the scripture reads. We must believe!! Not caused by God, but from our hearts!!

But we have to "believe." James 2:23 "And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called a friend of God."

“The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” (General Douglas MacArthur)

God allowed them to do so because they refused Christ.

Israel would not accept the Gentiles. "They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled" (Luke 21:24). "I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and...

After Adam acquired knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve covered their bodies when they realized they were naked. So why do the Adamites hold services in the nude? The Adamites, or Adamians, were adherents of an Early Christian group in North Africa in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th centuries...

Because I'm of the Adam that ate the forbidden fruit knowing good and bad.

Well I'm not Adamite. Plus do not believe in stark naked gatherings. But, do believe in having only one wife. Paul also wrote that Chrisitians should marry believers.

I believe God set an example with Adam and Eve. One wife.

The scripture deals with those that were brought to Jesus. I believe you have a further point to make with the word "all." "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). everyone πᾶς...

For online theology I like to use the https://biblehub.com/ which has the Berean Study Bible. For offline I am studying the Nelson Study Bible (NKJV). I have finished the NT and am now on 2 Chronicles. I use my old KJV Bible to look up references. Also studying "A theology of the New...

It does not have the word "only." Qualifications for Overseers (Titus 1:5–9; 1 Peter 5:1–4) 1This is a trustworthy saying: If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble task. 2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife,a temperate, self-controlled...

True. Later in the NT epistles the apostle Paul promoted that leaders of the church be married only to one wife. That seems to have brought in the concept of no polygamy in the church except for the Mormons.

"He must not take many wives for himself, lest his heart go astray" (Deut 17:17). The law said kings should not have many wives. But it did not work out that way. Also when a king made peace with another kingdom quite often they would marry a daughter of the other kingdom as an agreement to...

I do not see America being run by God. I see a lot of America going against God. "You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God" (James 4:4).

When God saved me from an alcoholic death I certainly did not feel like one of the elect. I was very grateful to be saved from my many sins.
