    God never calls something "finished", while people are still suffering (suffering much?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple lesson, that can make it easier to relate to God and the trials of this life. The lesson is this: God does not call something "finished" while people are still suffering. Now, this probably pricks your ears up, because Jesus said "it is finished" on the cross - my...

    Real Christians

    I had a premonition about this thread - what do you make of that? I was asking myself "I have faith, but how do I know?" "You are my disciples, if you do what I say" that was Jesus' take.

    Have an addiction to McDonald's? You are like me!

    I actually started to crave duck and McDonald's, and had to tease them apart!

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    There is a major oversight in the theory of Evolution: you don't merely need pressure to adapt, you can tease adaptation apart from a number of alternatives. If there is a little adaptation here and a little adaptation there and they are related, discerning that adaptation that links both of...

    Jesus said "the day is coming when you will worship in spirit and in truth", if you can be beheaded for faith in truth, you can be in spirit (yes?)

    You guys need to ask "am I really helping the Church, if I say 'there is only a limited way to interpret scripture'"? Jesus said "be hot or cold", Revelation says "there will be beheadings" - but snap! There is no way to learn from both?

    Don't fall into the trap, of thinking your faith is solely your doing - it is your doing in part, but praise God daily

    God knowing what will surprise Him, does not stop Him being surprised. What's the point of having a son, if the son never surprises you? You are killing the relationship Jesus died, to establish. Are you saying Jesus going to the cross, didn't surprise you?

    Don't fall into the trap, of thinking your faith is solely your doing - it is your doing in part, but praise God daily

    God is never moved by surprise, that doesn't mean He doesn't enjoy it. That's like saying "Jesus doesn't have a relationship to the Holy Spirit, because He is one with the Holy Spirit". The flesh does not remove the function of the spirit, if it is open to God.

    Reading the parable of the Sower, as a parable about the Holy Spirit (open?)

    Hi there, So this might open up your thinking about the Holy Spirit: the parable of the Sower, can be interpreted as being about the Holy Spirit. We typically think that the Word of God can be about anything, that there are some who receive it and some who don't. But strictly speaking, the...

    Don't replace a plank, with a greater plank! (plank?)

    Hi there, So I just had this really simple thought and for my own sake if no-one else's, I thought would just meditate on it for a moment. The thought is this: Jesus said "don't try to take the speck out of your brother's eye, when look! A plank is in your own eye" (Gospels, from memory); now...

    Have an addiction to McDonald's? You are like me!

    I am happy to report, that my addiction to McDonald's has been far less irritable since I had roast duck. It has been a month now and when I think about McDonald's it doesn't vex me at all. The Holy Spirit will give me the rest of the restraint I need, Lord willing (in Jesus' Name Amen).

    The law attracts the devil while grace repels him

    The best answer to departing from the Law and becoming a worldly Christian, is to remember your first love (repent and renew your commitment). No man can make an example of the world, and not suffer because of its sin - that is why we avoid the world. You are right, the Devil will feast on...

    QUOTE for the day

    Impressive people, start more with the truth, than anything else. (selah)

    Learning how the new body works (exercising?)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to share a simple thought: learning how the new body works, is a "thing". As a "thing" we can either do it well, or not. What governs how well we do it, is how well we develop in relation to our "new" faith, on Earth. If we neglect faith on Earth, how will we be...

    No Exceptions: Jesus Was Talking to You

    You are close to understanding, that Jesus didn't not speak of His own Accord.

    I can't tell you how much dealing with a Chromium deficiency has changed my life! (addicted to sugar?)

    It's got to the point, where my appetite for carbohydrates (essentially sugars), has diminished a little too. My mindset is getting so healthy!

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    The point is that there can be greater unity among the pieces (doctrines). If there was one doctrine, would we truly have faith?

    The Greatest Lie Ever Told: You’re Fine Just as You Are

    "As you are" is another way of referring to the anti-Christ.

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    I think the sad thing is, that the world is always going to take the "predator's" path. Jesus said "Behold I send you out as sheep among wolves" - He wouldn't say that, if wolves were eventually going to become sheep (because He said His word will never pass away). I guess all we can do, is...
