    Works V. Faith

    Hi Butch, One question: What works are required for salvation, and where in the scriptures do you find it? Okay, that's one question in two parts :0 The only works I know of are mentioned in John 6:29 Abraham believed God so he acted like he believed God by doing what God told him to do...

    Sleep Paralysis and lucid dreaming

    pslms 127:2 God gives His beloved sleep. One thing that really stuck out from your post Templar81 is that you asked God to forgive you for dabbling in astrolgoy. That's good. However, you need to understand, by agreeing with the enemy in that way (astrology) you have to break the bondage the...

    Works V. Faith

    the dead were judged accoring to their works because they did not trust in Christ to cleans them from their sins., the church were not judged according to their works because they have trusted in Christ's redemptive work at the cross. further down in Eph 5 Paul says that the wrath of God is...

    Forgiveness

    Okay, On number 1, I look at repentance differently than most people do. Repentance simply means to change your mind--the way you think. This is not required for forgiveness, it's required for dieing to sin. that's a whole other topic, though., otherwise, I do agree. On number 4, how does a...

    What does the purported Higgs Bosun discovery mean to Christians?

    The reason it is all so complicated is because it is not observational science, but theoretical science based on observations that they will in no way allow to point to a creator. Take Black Holes for example. Do you know that no one has ever witnessed (observed) a black hole? Actually they...

    The will to help my fellow man

    I agree with Alighbulb. IF you don't have a real passion for what you're doing, then it's probably not what the Father has in mind for you. Also, I think what Jesus was commanding us is not turn our back on someone who needs our help. Help them, out of love. I don't think this will be...

    The Lord Should Be Our Ultimate Want

    Good post, and good points all of them. Interesting that you called it the 'doors of the want prison' because I always believed that God wants us to have nice things, but He doesn't want things to have us. Just a little something I picked up on. Also, If we delight ourself in the Lord, He...

    Forgiveness

    1, not quite 2, True 3, True 4, False. All sin has been forgiven, not just ours but the whole world's. If a person doesn't not accept Jesus' payment for their sins, then they are responsible for covering their own. This is rejecting the Holy Spirit for unbelief which is blasphemy of the...

    The will of God, how do we know?

    Thank You 7, in the begining, what I received from God was logos. I hear others speak about it. They seemed to really love the Lord and they were truly excited aobut Him. I wanted that. They didn't seem fake like I was surrounded with in my church. I told God that I wanted to love Him like...

    The will of God, how do we know?

    That's a lot of Bible verses, you guys, but none of it says it's not His will for all of us to be perfectly healthy. None of them tells us that 'we are not just like Him in this world, and none of them say that we (today) are not to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out deomons. Also...

    The will of God, how do we know?

    Also, He said He came to destroy the works of the devil. Is sickness, disease not works of the Devil? Also, Paul told us that we are no longer under the curse of the law. Look at Duet chapter 28 at the blessings and curses of the law. Sickness is in there under the curses. There are so...

    The will of God, how do we know?

    'teaching them to observe all that I commanded you' okay, now read Mark 11:23 i think where He tells them how the cursing of the tree worked and then what He said about speaking to the mountain without doubt. This is one of the many things He told them to teach us. This can not be...

    What do you emphasize?

    I'll go first, I'm not afraid: My Father has my back :) To me, the most important aspect of my relationship with Jesus is Grace. I spent my whole life in a demonination that didn't emphasize Grace nearly enough. When I found grace the hard way, it changed everything. I used to pray about 30...

    The will of God, how do we know?

    Hi Xian, The last couple of verses in Mathew Jesus told them to teach 'us' everything that He had shown them. THat's why I think it's for us, too. Why do you think it's not for us? Becaus you don't see it? :) I see it. Not every day and certainly not everytime I pray for someone, but I...

    The will of God, how do we know?

    In Mathew Chpter 8 (i think) Jesus did tell us to heal the sick, rais the dead cast out demons and all that stuff. It's what He did, and I believe it's the authority He gave to us. If we want to be more Christ like, shouldn't we be doing what He did? He also said in Mark when asked about...

    The will of God, how do we know?

    I think God spoke to me the other day, and it was radical. Something I've never thought of before. It bothered me at first, but then, WOW! It's a revelation. Something that He revealed to me while I was thinking about the scriptures I'm about to share with you. BUt then I had this question...

    Obey!

    Yes. 100 percent agree. we should heal the sick and raise the dead, cast out demons, speak harsh words to those who think they are doing a great job keeping the commandments, and show nothing but grace to the sinners--so much so that they repent, and to take that authority over the earth that...

    The importance of works.

    I guess I just don't understand the confusion. everyone knows that a person acts (works) the way they believe. This is not only for a faith in God, otherwise why would so many people who don't believe in God do wonderful acts of kindness to total strangers. because they believe in helping...

    The importance of works.

    YEs, Rand is my name. I don't know Mr. al'Thor. Yes, If you have faith, you will have works. Period. It's true. You can't help it. it's just your new nature. That's who you are once you are His. I am not saying that works are not important. THey are very important. But only the works of...

    Lawless Ones subverting the truth in Christ.

    No Mr. I think the Holy Spirit is Grace I think He's one of the ways God manifested His grace to us. I also think God loved Hitler more than you or I can imagine. I also think that Jesus is one day is going to tell Hitler to leave, that He never knew him, and that is going to be harder for...
