Have I waited in vain for the BBC to inform the public of such news, or have the BBC`s investment of so much credibility made it impossible for the public broadcaster to announce such information?. The only logical conclusion to be drawn is the BBC are part of the whole man-made global warming Conspiracy. 11/21/09 4:18 PM Neil  | Tucson    • Posted 8 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: Jews raise millions to be ready for coming of the... 8 comments Neither of your first two URLs explain how modern priests are chosen, hence they beg my question. At least the 2nd one mentions the strict genealogical qualification. The rest of your post is off topic. 11/21/09 3:55 PM John UK  | Wales    • Posted 9 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: What Bible Version Do You Use? 159 comments Radish wrote: Having said that John, what then is the difference between Christ and the Holy Spirit, being as they are in complete harmony....... Radish, me ol' turnip You might just as well ask "What is the difference between Christ and The Father, or between the Father and the Spirit? Let's go back to basics shall we? There was a time when God, the triune God, was Spirit. Father, Son and Holy Ghost - ALL Spirit. All right so far? But the Son was made flesh. God took human flesh to himself, clothed himself with our clay, partook of all that we are, yet without a sinful nature. In this way, he could not only atone for the sins of the world, but also be a faithful and understanding high priest. Did he relinquish his omnipresence as the Son? Is the Spirit of Christ omnipresent? Is the Father omnipresent? When Jesus walked this earth, did he perfectly represent the Father? Is the Spirit's aim to glorify CHRIST? Three Persons, distinct yet one, co-equal and co-eternal, the Holy Trinity. As for your question, Radish, I'm sorry but I have no answer for you apart from that. What I have witten I have witten. You see now? 11/21/09 3:47 PM Jim Lincoln  | Nebraska    • Posted 9 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: Jews raise millions to be ready for coming of the... 8 comments Apparently, Neil, whatever means was used, the Orthodox Jews have solved the problem of determining who has the right to be a priest. "Just outside of Jerusalem,priests are training to offer up sacrifices in a rebuilt Temple.A mock altar has been constructed,and is used for training purposes." from the Levitt Letter, Dec. 2009. Indeed from the following articles, Jews don't consider the priestly line lost. The Blessing of the Jewish Priest. Apparently, you still aren't that well aquainted with the Dispensations, Neil. But no, there is only one way at present for the salvation for the Jew or the grafted in branches! Romans 11 23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more shall these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?---NASB 11/21/09 3:41 PM John Paul's wife    • Posted 9 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: CDC: Swine flu has sickened 22 million in 6 months 3 comments How can they say this when they don't even do the swine flu test?

Revelation 2 20 'But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray, so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 'And I gave her time to repent; and she does not want to repent of her immorality. 22 'Behold, I will cast her upon a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.---NASB We have had many Jezebels down through the centuries. 11/21/09 3:19 PM Jim Lincoln  | Nebraska    • Posted 9 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: 'Manhattan Declaration' commits to engage culture 2 comments Shame on you Albert Mohler, you should know better than to be anything but lukewarm to anything that even remotely looks like Reversing the Reformation, I suppose next will see attempts in reviving Promise Keepers and the Rising Tide of Ecumenism? This is giving a pretense to the idea that many of these groups are Christians, and they are not! Is the One True Church Roman Catholic? You can take moral stands, but some groups you should stand apart from even if you agree with some of their moral stands. 11/21/09 3:06 PM Chalkstone    • Posted 9 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: Calif. launches probe into scam targeting churches 1 comment "Instead, churches were left with leases as high as $45,000 per year for what amounted to little more than desktop computers...."

"the end of the world" (Matt 28:20) Is it the end of time and history with the eternal state of glory following or is it the end of an age with another temporal age following? ...it is my intent to take my ease once again seeing I have a few years on both of you young men. Lurker, May I enter a few observations about this particular phrase, while respecting your seniority, of course? First, the Greek word "aion" translated "world" in this verse must "first" be kept in the immediate context of this verse to correctly understand what Jesus is saying here. Secondly, the Greek word "aion" refers to "an unspecified period of time," and "that period of time" is defined within the context of this verse as, "unto the end of the world." Thirdly, the context of the verse also suggests the reason for his presence, i.e, "they were to teach and preach," which would bring persecution; they could neither bear nor endure without his enabling presence. (See also vs 18) Lastly, "this limited time period" does not invalidate any other time period mentioned elsewhere in Scripture. "Aion" is translated "ever" more often than "world." 11/21/09 2:50 PM Jentorn    • Posted 10 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: Jesus Christ's 'death certificate' found on Turin... 4 comments The words "Made in Taiwan" were also found in the bottom left hand corner. The Vatican is convinced by this!! Wasn't there a story of catholic priests who were manufacturing relics to flog to the misguided back in the early part of the 20th century? The question is, "What possible use or significance could the shroud be to the church?" The answer is only to be found in a church which practices idolatry, and the worship of old bones and ficticious old junk. 11/21/09 2:23 PM Radish    • Posted 10 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: What Bible Version Do You Use? 159 comments John UK wrote: When Jesus says, "Lo, I am with you alway..." he is not saying that he, as the Son of God, will be with them. No, not at all. When Jesus ascended into heaven, his promised presence came by way of his Spirit, the Holy Ghost. When the Bible teaches the "mystery", it is "Christ in you, the hope of glory", but it is not Christ in you, but the Spirit of Christ. Having said that John, what then is the difference between Christ and the Holy Spirit, being as they are in complete harmony. Is their "physical" distance between them when both exist in the spiritual realm? Is their a "real" distance between heaven and creation in terms of spiritual realm? Or are we part of the spiritual realm but with a material existence? Is mans spirit part of the spiritual realm? We can add here that hell is part of the spiritual realm even though not part of heaven. BTW John, we shall require a complete and factual, accurate, genuine and precise expert spiritual answer to all this. 11/21/09 1:50 PM Trog    • Posted 11 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: 'Holy hip-hop' trying to break into mainstream 15 comments John UK wrote: How many true believers in churches have sung hymns or psalms without the heart reality? John. Only the Elect can praise God anyway, and their hearts are "wrought" by the Holy Spirit. On that point surely we find the instruction of prayer valid, viz..... Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." Since God only hears the prayers of HIS Elect, shouldn't it be just as true of praise? 11/21/09 1:49 PM Tony Lopez-Cisneros    • Posted 11 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: The Vatican joins the search for alien life 85 comments Sherlock wrote: Alexander Hislop, in his classic work, The Two Babylon’s, page 105, says this: “To conciliate the Pagans to nominal Christianity, Rome, pursuing its usual policy, took measures to get the Christian and Pagan festivals [that’s the Sabbath and Sunday] amalgamated, and...to get Paganism and Christianity now far sunk in idolatry in this as in so many other things, to shake hands.” He says further: “A glance at the main pillars of the Papal system will sufficiently prove that its doctrine and discipline in all essential respects have been derived from Babylon.” “In ancient Babylonia the SUN was WORSHIPPED from immemorial antiquity.”—Sir James G.

Naive and arrogant? I would go so far as to say that I can tell you exactly the songs that were spoken of in those two verses: God's own inspired book of songs, The Psalms. That's all the church sang until centuries later when men like Gadsby and Wesley began composing man-made, uninspired hymns. Look up 'psalms, hymns and spiritual songs' in your Greek dictionary and lexicon. They were singing God's Psalms. Also, name me a hymn that was written 1500 years ago (other than the ones in Scripture). You are arguing a weak point as far as I'm concerned because I don't have much use for most of the hymns we sing in church, either. Most of them are doctrinally questionable at best and many of them are downright wrong or silly. (But they are still far better than the mindless, repetitive, nonsensical 'praise choruses' that have become all the rage - mainly to line the pockets of the writers and entertain worldings). If I could find a sound church in my area that sang the Metrical Psalms unaccompanied by ANY instruments I would be on the front row every week. Worship music isn't for us, it's for God - not our amusement. 11/21/09 12:57 PM JustADude  | The Word    • Posted 12 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: 'Holy hip-hop' trying to break into mainstream 15 comments Frank, I couldn't agree with you more: God's Word is sufficient. I am in no way arguing anything on those terms Rap is not wrong. People can sin in rap, but the sin is pride, lewdness, etc, but not necessarily the rap, that's just where it shows up. That is all. And as far as proper music in church goes: "psalms, hymns and spiritual songs" can have drums and guitar as long as they are done for the same reason as piano and organ. Again, it goes back to the heart, not the type of music (as long as that type isn't sin itself). And we are free to enjoy emotions, sounds, and feelings that music evokes. God created those and designed them to be enjoyed with Him and not all human feeling is the "flesh" spoken of in Galations: 5:19-21. WHile they should NEVER be reason or the focus we sing they aren't inherently evil. 11/21/09 12:57 PM Sherlock    • Posted 12 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse News Item: The Vatican joins the search for alien life 85 comments GG & Company & Bert part 6 Alexander Hislop, in his classic work, The Two Babylon’s, page 105, says this: “To conciliate the Pagans to nominal Christianity, Rome, pursuing its usual policy, took measures to get the Christian and Pagan festivals [that’s the Sabbath and Sunday] amalgamated, and ... to get Paganism and Christianity now far sunk in idolatry in this as in so many other things, to shake hands.” He says further: “A glance at the main pillars of the Papal system will sufficiently prove that its doctrine and discipline in all essential respects have been derived from Babylon.” “In ancient Babylonia the SUN was WORSHIPPED from immemorial antiquity.” — Sir James G.

This is not the kind of music that appeals to the flesh. This is not worldly, carnal music. I do agree with all that you are holding forth, bro. And the subject is a very difficult one. This very afternoon I watched the Wales v Argentina rugby international, and as usual, the Welsh supporters were singing away with "hymns and arias" including their all-time favourite "Guide me O thou great Jehovah". I just mention that because it is not so much the song that counts, but the heart from which it is sung. How many true believers in churches have sung hymns or psalms without the heart reality? I know for sure I have on many occasions. "This people draw near to me with their lips, but their heart is far fom me." That apart, I agree with what yourself and Kenny have said, and I believe that we are seeing an increasing apostasy in most churches, largely due to changing from the AV, which leads to changing the hymn-book, to taking out the pews and pulpit, to wearing shorts, to having 'musical evenings' to the use of the guitar and drums, to the softening of the gospel, and, thus eventually to.......apostasy! 11/21/09 12:32 PM John UK  | Wales    • Posted 12 hours ago • Add new comment • Reply to comment • Report abuse Survey: What Bible Version Do You Use? 159 comments Mike wrote: ",I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." After the end of the world, what? No more "with you"? Mike, I will try to explain, When Jesus says, "Lo, I am with you alway..." he is not saying that he, as the Son of God, will be with them. No, not at all. When Jesus ascended into heaven, his promised presence came by way of his Spirit, the Holy Ghost. When the Bible teaches the "mystery", it is "Christ in you, the hope of glory", but it is not Christ in you, but the Spirit of Christ. When God says, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee", how does he accomplish that in this present world? Surely by his Spirit. When a man is born again, he is indwelt with and filled with the Spirit of Christ, and this is why his character is changed. This Spirit is transforming... But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8 KJV This is what Jesus was talking about when he said, "Lo I am with you alway..." But this empowering will not be needed in eternity.
