    Part 5 of 10 in a series dedicated to debunking commonly held myths that we think are in the Bible but really aren't, myths that can and often do have devastating effects on our faith.

    INTRODUCTION: Most people in this world know at least some of the Ten Commandments; even non-Christians can quote at least a few of them. And the favorite and most-often quoted out of all of them is “Thou Shall Not Judge.” Oh wait that’s not on the list? Strange, because to hear ...read more

    Paul, The Emotional Case Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 10, 2012
     | 5,702 views

    Neither Paul nor we are meant to be Mr. Spock from Star Trek; Paul was comfortable with emotion, but -- even when he was emotionally intense -- he kept his eyes on Jesus and sought to follow God’s will, not his own.

    Paul, the Emotional Case (2 Corinthians 7:2-16) 1.

    Saints we should not be looking for the Rapture as our get out of jail free card. Bible scholars cannot even agree as to when it takes place only that it will take place. For that reason we must be ready to meet the Lord every day.

     | 20,774 views
