Romans 1:21-24 - For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of...

I have been thinking about this topic all day about loving others. It is the greatest commandment and the most difficult one to live out. Especially loving those who persecute you or do wrong to you. 1 John 3:14-16 - We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the...

The truth I have personally have come to realize is that no one is perfect. We all are living in the flesh and we fail in many areas where Christ has succeeded. We will at times still get mad or argue with people and insult others for not totally agreeing with our view point or opinion on a...

I think it is tremendously sad when I go to church and see other people my age who text on their phones during church when they should be participating in worship and fellowship with each other. For me as well as many others, church is a time to set aside all the small unimportant and trivial...

I am puzzled why Catholics teach and believe in purgatory. Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks Stumpmaster and Nomad...good stuff! Nomad, if you know any good sources I was curious to study more on John Calvin, Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley and other well know preachers/evangelists.

Whenever I look things up online such as church history or specific evangelists or preachers or anything biblical, I find that most of the sources of the websites are contradictory to others. What are some good solid sources for this kind of information where it's historically accurate? I don't...

The real main issue here seems to be all about Christ and his deity. I can understand how a person can question if Jesus is really god or a man. The bible says that he is both. If you compare Jesus to the other prophets then you would certainly get a sense that he was no different. However, a...

I am not going to get into a debate with you because no matter what I say it will not change anything. I will answer your questions as to be fair. The reason why the believers who repented and believed in Jesus were not yet baptized with the holy spirit was because Jesus was still on Earth. It...

First off, I don't see where anyone said they didn't care about you or answering your questions. I certainly care, otherwise I would of minded my own business. Now personally, I don't have all the answers to your questions at the moment. However, I can answer a few of them and then I want to ask...

Rob, There is only one baptism of the Holy Spirit. We all receive the Holy Spirit when we repent and believe in Jesus Christ. Speaking in tongues was a gift given by God during the day of Pentecost where they would speak other languages. However, that is no longer a gift for today. Same thing...

Isick, I don't know why you are attacking Nomad on this issue. He is clearly answering your questions and providing scripture to prove that he is not just giving you his opinion on the subject. Also, after reading through this thread, it seems to me that you are trying to seek the truth, but...

Any man or woman found not living in Christ on the day of judgment will be found lacking. It says clearly in John 14:6 - I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. Jesus is the only way, everything outside of Jesus is lost and damned. Harsh words I...

Thanks for sharing! Although I have not experienced anything like you have described, the Lord has put certain burdens on my heart. I have desires to read the bible and grow in his word and like you I also have the desire to possibly become an evangelist or missionary. God knows what is best for...

Sorry for not getting back to you in so long, but the author for the book Experiencing God is by Henry T. Blackaby and Claude V. King. I just got finished with school so I will be reading this book. I'll post an update on this telling you what I thought of it. The person that is letting me...

What you have said is good. You show repentance of your lack of prayer which is a wonderful sign and I pray that we will all grow in our prayer lives and have communion with the Lord!!! I recently haven't been praying much at all so I know what you are saying Miss Hepburn. I praise God that he...

How do I avoid Temptation? - James 1:12 James1:12 : Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Many years ago a well known Christian leader I had some dealings with was caught out...

That is exactly right! Hahaha. ;)

I love dogs. I have a yellow Labrador and he is the best dog I have ever had! Ever since I became a Christian I have always noticed that a dog in many ways reflects Christ and how we should act. First and foremost, most dogs...especially Labradors, have extreme compassion. Whenever I come home...

How do you plan on doing that? I am just wondering because as I understand it, there is a wrong way to pursue righteousness that leads to hell.
