I’m not seeing a “search” feature, am I missing it?
Nope. I don't have a search. All the articles I want people to see are linked from the side bar. If you think there's a topic I could add, let me know.
You are a moron
I don't want you to feel like I am hiding from my words, so here is your other comment which you spammed on several other articles:
This is of course a reference to Psalm 137:
Nice attempt to cover you freak.
What have I hidden? You say you have the logs; feel free to provide context.
Cree beat you in a debate and you runaway lol.
Who is Cree?
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household. (Acts 16:31)
Everyone needs to be saved because, "there is none who does good, no, not one" (Romans 3:12), and because God "has appointed a day on which He will judge the world" (Acts 17:31). When God judges the world, all who have not been saved will be judged according to their deeds (Romans 2:6) and cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15).
Amen. So are you still defending A True Church or are there some teachings of ours with which you disagree?
Disagree...? With the word of God? No way.
I defend the word of God in every situation, in fact I live only because of God.
I take it then you still believe we are in the truth. That's awesome! Are you part of a church where you're at? It would be cool for me to have an answer to the question I get so often which is: "are there any other true churches in the world?" People like to accuse us of claiming we are the "one" true church, which was never our assertion.
Yes, I know you are in the truth and this thing it is awesome. For this was possible only by the grace of the Lord Almighty. And I know also that people like to make accusations, sometimes to look less sinful in their eyes.
I'm right now in Romania with my wife. We speak the word of the Lord everywhere we go, that is, in Canada, Romania or Greece. At this point I know another person (except the two of us) whom the Lord has endured and now this person is in the truth.
1 John 4: 6 But we are of God; whoever knows God listens to us; who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of wandering.
The only way to be save is Bible (John 14:6) but Bible say clear only few people will know the narrow way (Matthew 7:13-14) and many people like to follow liar's (2 Peter 2:1-2 ; 2 Timothy 4:3-4) . And who believe and say what the Bible say ,he's seen as a liar (2 Corinthians 6:8) .
Praise to God (John 17:3) because Him had mercy of me (Romans 9:16) and brought me out of deception, from the darkness, from the teachings of men (Jeremiah 17:9 ; Revelation 12:9 ; Matthew 15:8-9) and Him showed me only Him is Truth (John 14:6) and who's from God listen His word's (John 8:47). Reality and truth is that I have not searched for God (Romans 3:11) . But God choose people to be in truth (John 6:65).
Praise to God (John 17:3) because Him had mercy of me (Romans 9:16) and He took me out of deception, from the darkness, from the teachings of men (Jeremiah 17:9 ; Revelation 12:9 ; Matthew 15:8-9) and Him showed me only Him is Truth (John 14:6) . Reality and truth is that none seek the Lord (Romans 3:11) ,God brought me to His Son (John 6:65). Who's from God listen His word's (John 8:47).

Thanks.
Hello Daniel, with little hope left sparking within me I opt for this last stitch attempt. I firstly wish to apologise for the trouble caused to u last evening. I only wished to speak to u, a humble few words. With all my messages to u blocked or deleted I leave my final goodbye here. It has been fun Daniel, I sincerely hope u will wish me goodbye as well for the memories created. Best wishes, big boy.
Hello Daniel, this is my final goodbye. This last stitch attempt at contacting you will hopefully not be in vain for all of my other messages have been blocked or deleted. It saddens me greatly to think that I may have caused you any trouble this past evening and so I apologise. But alas my fruitful hope is dwindling with no reply and no more ways to contact you this is my last option. This is my last message. I do hope my request to cross some humble words with you will not be ignored and you will reply to this with at very little a solemn goodbye. For the memories we have made, and for the little time we spent together. I will be awaiting your response even if it may never arrive. My dearest regards, big boy.
I appear to have made a mistake, I am sorry for the two messages one did not show up previously.
All comments are moderated by me before being published.
Is that the only thing your going to tell me Daniel? No goodbye, no hello, I just simply want to have a conversation with u :(
What do you want to talk about?
Tell me about Daniel
He's a sinner.
no no Daniel as in yourself. I want to know about u Daniel :)) unless ur calling urself a sinner?
That's right. "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (1 John 1:8)
What’s your typical day like Daniel? What foods do you like to indulge in?
I spend most days contending for the faith (Jude 1:3) in chat rooms. Lately, I've been making a smoothie for breakfast. It consists of various fruits and nuts, frozen banana and kale, and leftover cannabis from my dry herb vaporizer.
What else do you do? I found your YouTube channel is that a hobby of yours?
I meet with fellow believers in the Bible. We get together and discuss Scripture. My youtube channel isn't something I have taken seriously, but I have intentions to start a podcast.

Thank you.
I have read Darwin Fish’s articles and saw some of your comments on the blog. You stated that “If a woman loves a man and also believes, it would be cruel not to marry her”, and yet Darwin on his blog says this - “ In 1 Corinthians 7:9 Paul tells the church to “let them marry.” It is not a command to “get married.” It is a command to “let them marry.”
It is the Greek word γαμησάτωσαν (gamêsatôsan), an imperative. In other words, it's a command. The command is to “let” the "unmarried and . . . widows" (vs. 8) "marry" (vs. 9), if they "cannot exercise self-control." And as should be obvious, the "unmarried" includes virgins, for this same term (ἀγάμοις vs. 8) is used for a virgin in verse 34 (ἄγαμος).
But, is it really a command? A prior verse in 1 Corinthians 7 says,
But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment (1 Corinthians 7:6).
What is “not . . . a commandment”? Is it the prior verses? There Paul commands,
let each man have his own wife
let each woman have her own husband
Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her
and likewise also the wife to her husband.
Do not deprive one another (1 Corinthians 7:2-5)
In the Greek, these are all in the imperative. They are commands. Likewise, after 1 Corinthians 7:6 (“not . . . a commandment”) “let them marry” in verse 9 is in the imperative. It is a command. So, what do we find in the text that is “not . . . a commandment”? What is not in the imperative? The non-commandment is the decision to be single or not.
Paul was not married (1 Corinthians 9:5, 15), and he wrote,
But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment. For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that. But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn. (1 Corinthians 7:6-9)
Paul desired that all would be single as he was, but he knew that was not what God had designed, as he wrote,
But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.
This non-command is akin to Jesus' words in Matthew 19.
All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it. (Matthew 19:11-12)
Some are not able to accept singleness. Some “cannot exercise self-control” (1 Corinthians 7:9). So, it is imperative that we “let them marry.”
Paul's “concession, not as a commandment” (1 Corinthians 7:6) is the non-commandment of singleness. To remain single is a strong suggestion by Paul throughout the chapter (vs. 7-8, 26-27, 32-35, 37-38, 40), and in verse 28 he makes it abundantly clear it is simply a suggestion. He writes,
even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned (1 Corinthians 7:28).
Clearly, if you don't stay single, “you have not sinned.” There is no command given by Paul to stay single, although he strongly encourages it. The "concession" are his words about singleness.”… He then goes on to say… “ When God places romantic love upon a couple (as in 1 Corinthians 7:9), the game is up. Let them marry.”
So with the aforementioned, if a genuine natural man and a genuine natural woman genuinely love, respects, wants to be with, and both internally want to but not openly stated to marry and yet if one or both decide not to get married to each other, is it not then a choice - as Darwin quotes the Word. That it is not a commandment to get married but a concession and it’s up to them to decide to marry or not, regardless of the love for each other? If one or both decide to move on from that love - then, cruel as it is, is it a sin?
hi daniel :)
No Emily, it's not a sin.
