    Spiritual/demonic oppression

    Lahoma, You are so right. Satan has pitched his tent on my front porch! My minister says that Satan isn't after sinners as he already has them, but he wants to get every Christian he can get. If Satan isn't plaguing us, then we aren't where we need to be with God. I must be a saint, because...

    Okay I Just Got Saved, So Now What?

    As Aspen said prayer is the key. As a new Christian, you are a babe and need milk, but as you grow you will get into the meat of the scriptures. Growth comes from talking to God and reading his word, studying what it says and meditating on what you read. God will give you the knowledge from the...

    Love one another

    Jesus told the disciples This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. John 15:12 I left another site where the 'Christians" resorted to insulting eache other and name calling because they did not agree on a concept or on a point of Christianity. Discussing religion and...

    Purgatory

    Mungo, Thank you very much. I need to do some praying and studying. I have learned much from you. I like to know about other's beliefs so that I can more understand them and where they are coming from when they make statements. I was raised a Free Will Baptist and we believe each person has a...

    Homosexuality

    I hear a lot of excuses why people behave the way they do, whether they be hetersexual or homosexual. A sin is a sin. When we stand before God, we best not be offering him excuses why we behaved certain ways when he clearly said to not do that. I don't think he will buy the excuses.

    Homosexuality

    Aspen, You are playing word games.Tell me the difference between homosexuals/sodimites/effeminate call boys and or dirty old men. Christ said in Matthew 5 :28 But i say to you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hat committed adultry with her already in his heart. hang on! if a...

    Sodomites: Haters of God

    Anyone who has read the Bible and kept up with the news know you have written the truth. This was a good read and I hope it helps someone who is undecisive. What do you think about the excuse that a person is gay because God made them that way? And even as they did not like to retain God in...

    Purgatory

    In a perfect world there would be no sin. But, we do not live in a perfect world and we do sin daily. I know God dicplines us because I have had it several times and wondered why things happened the way they did. A friend gave me a good analogy. He said I was a piece of steel and God was not...

    Spiritual/demonic oppression

    One night as I sat reading Hebrews, verses 4-6 of chapter 6 grabbed my attention. I had been married three times with all three of my ex-husbands living. I knew I had sinned and committed adultry big time, but God have forgiven me of the sins. As I read the verses, the message I got from them...

    Please stay away from the pope!!!

    Mungo, I would like to know the concept of purgatory. I want to know if what I have heard is correct or if I have had false info. I still have trouble with the concept of calling a man Father in reference and honor. My earthly father was called Daddy, but all the same the word would mean...

    Are you sure you can enter the gate? Matt 7:21-23 Jesus say to Christians "Depart From Me..."

    Sorry Aspen, I am not trying to put down a Catholic. I just don't like to hear any organization, whether it be Cathlics, Methodists, or Baptist claim they have the sole authority on Christ and Christianity. I could give you a list of sins by prostentant leaders too. God gave us free will and I...

    Please stay away from the pope!!!

    Mungo, I go by what Jesus said. My soul is the most valuable that I have and I trust it to noone except Jesus. Not a concept, but what Jesus said. Romans 8:27 and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the...

    Please stay away from the pope!!!

    Angelina, Well said. Perhaps a history of the Hebrew people will be needed for some to understand that the oral tradition of the Jews was a sacred thing and was carefully repeated and everone learned it, especially the priests. The Bible is a sacred thing written by the same people who would...

    Are you sure you can enter the gate? Matt 7:21-23 Jesus say to Christians "Depart From Me..."

    Sorry... but you need to study your history closer. The RCC tried to destroy the Bible as we know it and the writers. Check our your first popes. They were not chosen by God, but many bought their office and squabbled with others to have sole power. Some had mistresses, and little boys. One...

    Please stay away from the pope!!!

    Wait a minute! Where in the Bible does it talk about purgatory or the Pope's position? I would like to read it? Paul said in 1Timothy2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ. For that reason, I have a problem with praying to Mary and the saints...

    Are you sure you can enter the gate? Matt 7:21-23 Jesus say to Christians "Depart From Me..."

    Lahoma, Jesus is saying that not all who claim to be Christians will enter into heaven. I am not sure where the scripture is, but Christ also wondered when he returned, would he find any faith. Being a Christian is wonderful, but not everone lives as Jesus would have them to. The second verse...

    What will you do when you see Jesus?

    Have you ever thought about what you would do or how you will react when you see Jesus for the first time? I know many do not believe in the Rapture and that is an individual belief. As I told a friend, if we live like we believe in the Rapture and will be whisked away at the twinkling of an...

    do the ends justify the means?

    Amen! You are so right. the Bible also said to not mock God or tempt him. To do either is playing a dangerous game. A Christian lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God, which is the Bible. One day every knee shall bow and every mouth shall confess, so we had better be sure all...

    Fear of God

    Star, Thank you. Our church membership may be small, but God lives in his house! You can feel his presence when you enter the door. We keep trying to encourage people to attend, but Satan has other plans. What Satan doesn't comprehend is Greather is He that is in me than he that is in the world.

    Chrisiianity begins at home

    Last Sunday, my minister preached on how Christianity begins in the home. If parents showed an example of Christian living; that is praying and reading the Bible with the children and teaching them how to live a life for Christ; then there would be no need for prayer in school. It should not be...
