    Looking at what Ezekiel 38 tell us?

    Appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this. I do think we all want to know these things and sometimes speculate a bit, but I for one do not want to say it as fact when Scripture itself does not clearly connect Ezekiel 38 to Armageddon or the sixth and seventh vials. Ezekiel doesn't mention...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    Your persistent attempts to force Leviticus 11 dietary laws onto the church directly contradict the plain teaching of the New Testament. This is false doctrine, and it will not be promoted here on Biblical Truth Forum. The forum exists to uphold Sola Scriptura — Scripture alone as the final...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    You’re playing word games when you subtract the plain force of the text. The participle in Greek Mark 7: 19 tells us Jesus was making declaration that all foods were clean. The New Testament tells believers to obey Leviticus 11 nowhere. Quite the opposite. Romans 14: 14 “I know and am...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    You’re mixing moral law with ceremonial shadows. Murder is still sin. Eating pork is not. Romans 14:14 “I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself.” Christ declared all foods clean. The dietary laws are obsolete shadows. Colossians 2:16-17 Stop rebuilding...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    You just subtracted the plain decision of the Holy Spirit through the apostles. The Jerusalem Council, after much debate, gave this exact ruling for Gentile believers: Acts 15:19-20 “Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    You just proved the exact problem I named. Instead of staying with Scripture, you pivot to attacking Sola Scriptura itself and blaming it for “countless denominations” and “counterfeit Catholic doctrines” that supposedly survived the Reformation. The Bible never once says we need an...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    Peter’s own words in Acts 10 show he was still holding on to the old thinking years after Mark 7. Acts 10:14 “But Peter said, ‘By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.’” That is not my idea. That is the text. Peter directly refuses the voice from heaven...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    No, I don't discount ALL history. What I do dismiss is consulting Jewish halakah, The Talmud, Josephus, Archaeology, or ANY extra-biblical tradition in order to change Scripture understanding. Scripture doesn't need you looking outside of it for clarification. That is NOT Sola Scriptura. God's...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    Peter himself explains the vision in plain words, no metaphor needed. Acts 10:28 “And he said to them, ‘You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean.’” That’s...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    Translation formatting doesn’t decide truth. The Greek ends with καθαρίζων πάντα τὰ βρώματα, a masculine participle that points to Jesus as the one cleansing all foods. That reality stands no matter how red letters or parentheses get arranged in English. The immediate setting in Mark 7 is Jesus...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    Let’s stop playing games with Greek to defend something Scripture has already declared dead and obsolete. The Greek in Mark 7:19 is καθαρίζων πάντα τὰ βρώματα, which literally means “cleansing/purifying/declaring clean all foods.” Note that καθαρίζων is a present active participle. The ESV puts...

    Looking at what Ezekiel 38 tell us?

    The Bible never says whether Ezekiel 38 occurs strictly before the millennium during a time of peace within the tribulation period or if it has some other association. When Scripture does not clearly address the timing connection we run the risk of reading into it if we say more than the text...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    What you wrote in that post is not correct according to Scripture. You are twisting the text, subtracting from it, and then accusing me of adding when I posted what is written. That's not Sola Scriptura, that's forcing the New Testament to fit Leviticus 11 no matter what the verses actually say...

    A Few Thoughts on Psalm 1

    Psalm 1 doesn't say that this righteous man is Jesus it just paints this picture of a righteous man who delights in the law of the LORD and meditates on it day and night ~Psalm 1:2 . Jesus was that man. He did that perfectly. The songs of the servant that you referenced show prophecy pointing...

    Looking at what Ezekiel 38 tell us?

    I appreciate how you’re trying to stay grounded in the text and not follow speculative systems. Ezekiel 38 does clearly describe a real invasion. It speaks of a leader, “Gog, of the land of Magog,” coming with a confederacy of nations including Persia, Cush, and others ~Ezekiel 38:2,5–6. It...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    The answer is clear from the Bible itself, and it’s simple. The verse in Mark 7 is about the heart. Jesus says straight out: nothing that goes into your mouth can make you unclean before God. Only what comes out of your heart does that — evil thoughts, lies, anger, and such things ~Mark 7:15...

    Should we be eating Pork and Shellfish?

    I'm not appealing to presumptions or traditions. I'm interpreting Scripture by Scripture Alone. Sola Scriptura. The Bible is my only standard, and I allow Scripture to interpret itself. The Bible never tells us to examine each passage in total isolation until we find one verse that...

    Are Pastors Salaries Biblical? (Video)

    This conversation reminds me of a sermon I heard that sticks with me. The sermon exposes a deep problem in religion: people using God as a means to get something, instead of honoring Him as the end. Reidhead builds this from Judges 17, where a Levite agrees to serve Micah as a priest for “ten...

    Are Pastors Salaries Biblical? (Video)

    The Bible is clear on this. When God lays out the pattern, He keeps it plain, and what He builds does not look like a corporate ladder with salaries, perks, and retirement plans attached to the pulpit. Jesus sent His men out with nothing in their pockets but trust in God. He said, “The laborer...

    Looking at what Ezekiel 38 tell us?

    Just to be clear so there is no confusion going forward, Seventh-day Adventism and the teachings of Ellen G. White hold no authority on this forum. They are not treated as valid sources of truth here and are regarded as false teaching when they go beyond or contradict what is written. This...

It's not that how well I make my home somehow measures me but rather homemaking is an opportunity to sew to the Spirit and serve God. It is the hidden person of the heart that God treasures. So if I serve in my home with a good attitude, love, and view to honor God, the temporary engagement of homemaking becomes my spiritual advantage.

Jesus spoke in a way that exposed pride and blindness. “Every one that doeth evil hateth the light… lest his deeds should be reproved” ~John 3:20. When someone resists the truth, it is not because the truth is unclear. It is because the heart does not want it.
