There are many interpretive problems and most of them come from 1 Corinthians...so I thought it would be good if we went over the background and historical aspects of the Church in Corinth. Background and Setting The city of Corinth was located in southern Greece, which was the Roman province...

I would like to add to this list with my own personal observation in regards to tongues.... 21. Those who pray or edify themselves using tongues contradict scripture (1 Cor. 14:22)

I'm not trying to teach or influence anyone. I'm just sharing something I came across that has many good truths to it. Another person asked me my opinion so I gave it.... Could you please show me where I am wrong so I can learn off of my mistakes? That would help me much better than just telling...

Thanks for sharing your views/concerns about what I shared. Keep in mind this is not my work...I'm just sharing what I came across and for the most part I agree with what this person has said. I will try to answer your questions but it's up to you if you want to agree or disagree. I honestly...

1. The Jews, as a nation, began with signs (Rom. 4:11; Exo. 4:8, 9, 17, 28, 30; 7:3; 8:23; 10:1-2; 13:9; 31:13, 17; Deu. 4:34; 6:22). 2. The Old Testament Jews lived by signs (Deu. 11:18; Jos. 4:6; 1 Sam. 10:7; 2 Kgs. 19:29; Isa. 7:14; 38:7, 22; Ezk. 4:3; 20:12, 20). 3. The Jews demanded signs...

The best interpretation of what it means to be blessed or a blessing that I have heard so far is when God looks down and smiles upon you. Probably one of the best places to look to see how to be blessed or what it looks like is in the beatitudes (Matthew 5) It shows what kind of characteristics...

I'm on the same page as what you just said...some are predestined and others chose God based on freewill. It's just one of those things where there is no definite answer. If you take the Calvinists view point then you are contradicting scripture...if you take the Armenian side...again the same...

Freewill and predestination are both present in scripture. To deny one is to reject what scripture teaches. There are simply just somethings about scripture that we will not be able to fully grasp. It's like the trinity...we can't fully understand how it works so just because we fail to...

Isaiah 66:1-2 - Thus says the LORD, "Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being," declares the LORD. "But to this on I will look...

This is good news! The things that were going on were horrifying. To think that all the people who come to this site...Christian or non Christian were witnessing all the child like behavior and unloving attitudes... :angry: As I stated before in a different thread...the way in which we act...

Ditto :D

Hey there Cedar! Good seeing you here. Nice picture...reminds me of the lost sheep in Luke 15

Matthew 5:13 - "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men." If you claim to be Christian, then you are claiming to be a disciple of Jesus Christ...

Based on what you have said here...you are in agreement with me. That however is only half the battle. I didn't start this thread just so everyone can read it and agree that it's correct and give me amens. I wrote it so that people would hopefully not just agree but take action. It's very easy...

Is there any maturity on this site?

2 Timothy 4:1-4 - I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time...

Thanks for your honesty. The greatest stumbling blocks comes from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride one has in life. Being defensive when someone tries to teach you what they know...even if you disagree with them is what keeps one from growing. Always observe two sides of...

If we are going to defend anything...it's Him. What you said was absolutely right Christina. We have to stand and fight for the truth. The true truth. So much immaturity and no humbleness everywhere I turn. If a person truly desires to know the truth of scripture...they will not be defensive...

As followers of Christ, we are called to spiritually grow. This is nothing new. Many of you know that. However, the question still remains, are YOU growing? Are you making progressive steps towards becoming more and more like Christ? Are you bearing more fruit? By fruit...I don't mean activity...

I originally gave my thoughts on predestination vs free will...then you pointed out that what I said about faith coming from God is wrong according to what you believe. So that is what we are discussing. I know you never said that true saving faith comes from ourselves...but faith in and of...
