Oh wow..my mum is 76! Dad died in 2012.

Yeah.. i'm glad i'm in Christchurch. I'm praying for you guys in the North Island. We are getting strong wind..probably alot of rain tommorow..but it's not beyond regular storms

I'm from New Zealand and like the time of year Matariki is celebrated, because it gives a holiday in June that adds to another holiday in June :) I like seeing it as a harvest time for certain foods and it becomes a kind of food fest. The danger I see, is when people here sort of tell, you...

Hi from Christchurch! My cousins live in Hamilton. In regards the 'faith without works is dead' verse in James 2. What kind of faith is James referring to? Initial conversion or daily service? Because Abraham believed in God much earlier than when he offered his son Isaac up. His work was...

The quote of even the demons believe and tremble... gotta put it in its right context. The demons know God exists.. but have no personal relationship with Jesus. A sinner who believes Jesus is God, that He died and rose again, and that by believing in Him, they are saved eternally.. is...

Impossible to keep 100 percent, all of the time. Not impossible to keep intermittently

Well my post was about there being discipline and rebuke for the wayward believer. So it is not ok for a believer to break God's commands. Just because Jesus won't remove eternal life from a believer, doesn't mean there are no consequences for sin. Most verses about discipline for the...

Jesus gives eternal life to the sinner who believes in Him. If it is eternal.. that means present and future sins are also taken care of. Do not confuse daily service with initial salvation. Initial salvation has no conditions but initial belief in Jesus. Daily service will determine our...

Well.. it is still possible for a believer to get caught up in sin. They still have two natures..flesh and spirit. A believer may not do good works.. doesn't mean they weren't saved to begin with. Calvinism is seriously flawed mate. For that matter so is arminianism. Paul wrote about being a...

Here is the distinction between getting initially converted and daily faith. Initial conversion.. is the giving of eternal life to the sinner. It is eternal. So like Behold says.. it's forever.. past, present and future sins are forgiven. So many .. after hearing this.. will say.. 'Well then...

Yeah I pulled out of Religious Studies, seeing it was quite different to what I wanted to study. I didn't want an atheist telling me about christianity

Hehe Well, I learned the apologetics information from CRU that was on campus. I joined them as a student. They called themselves Tandem at Canterbury Uni. There is no way my university was going to teach this. Religious studies at this uni was comparing religions and the lecturer was a non...

Well, when I was at university I was introduced to evidence from history of the reliability and testimony of the gospel accounts. Reading the Case for Christ, The Case for Faith and then later Evidence that Demands a Verdict, convinced me of the reality of the faith. Before that I was a...

Many wish to lower Jesus' diety. It's becoming more popular. Along with believing in baptismal regeneration. Revelation is another book that shows Jesus' diety. It is the words of Jesus Christ but it also the Holy Spirit's words and Jesus is given the alpha and omega terms associated with the...

Oh haven't stopped in those places long. I've been through. Stayed in Wellywood a few times. I grew up in Darfield, Canterbury. Then lived in Samoa for 3 years and then came to Christchurch. Times were simpler... Parents could send kids to play on the street and it was safe..just tell them...
