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

    Wow so far I guess from all the encouragements and sharing that I am somewhat on the right track. No rebuttal so far must be a good sign. :P I'm trying to digest everyone's thoughts and quoted scriptures and perhaps soon enough the next time when I look into this verse I would see things in a...

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

    Matthew 7:14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus said: "Not everyone who says to Me,'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will...

    Is There Anyone You Need To Forgive ?

    May I add something that most zealous of the community may have over-looked. Is to forgive oneself. I have no problems with forgiveness toward others. But I'm somewhat still struggling with forgiving something I have done in the past and there is a difference between convictions and...

    Fear of God

    1 of the 12 signs that we are very near at end of the World, Christ's Second coming. The degradation of society, things that you have mentioned were all prohesised more than 2000 years ago. The accelerating pace of moral decline (fulfilling prophecy). The increase of sexual immorality...

    I love the "Entertainment Industry" and I love money....Does god?

    We face all sorts of predicaments as Christians in this world. It is written " We are in this world but not of this world" We are done away with sin by the sanctification of Christ's blood. Do we still sin ? yes everyday. But do we have to ? no because the curse of sin has no more hold over us...

    Spiritual/demonic oppression

    I am from the East and I would like to share my testimony. At the time when me and my girlfriend were at our 20's, strange things happened, strange as in paranormal activities seeping into our lives without reasons or explanation. I remembered those nights when the clock reach certain time at...

    Can You Lose Your Salvation ?

    A quick short testimony that would make your jaw drop. (emphasis added) My mother was a Christian even before I was born. She has led many to God in her times. Now she worship idols and talks with them and proclaimed she sees the spirits manifested at her presence. She also dabbled into spells...

    Singing Ave Maria in church/home robs God's Glory?

    I think that must have hit a cord. Yes Marry was chosen by God as a human vessel because He find favors in her, but not because she was sinless (I think Jesus is the only person that is sinless in the whole book of the Bible). Marry is truly the mother of Jesus, only in a human sense, but she...

    Singing Ave Maria in church/home robs God's Glory?

    Totally agreed! well said. Though we have drifted from the original topic but I must wholehearted thank you for your time spend in here dealing with a stubborn man. I shouldn't use that verse to substantiate anything in the first place. It was a bold and fruitless attempt.

    Singing Ave Maria in church/home robs God's Glory?

    Wow that is good! That kinda makes sense. But there are some loopholes. May I allow to counter your verse with this verse. Revelation 21:1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy...

    Singing Ave Maria in church/home robs God's Glory?

    Jesus loves you Mungo! and me too B) I thought just came to mind as to why I think we can't pray to the saints including Marry. It's stretch but it might just work: Luke 16:19-31 New International Version (NIV) The Rich Man and Lazarus 19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple...

    Singing Ave Maria in church/home robs God's Glory?

    This is a very difficult one to fathom. Look I'm just saying, perhaps there is some scriptural references but I don't know. I don't believe there is any way for the saints in heaven to communicate with us, as living flesh on earth. We will meet them one day but not before the rapture or before...

    Singing Ave Maria in church/home robs God's Glory?

    Look, I am baffled and that's the reason why I am in here, to seek directions. Please be gentle because I really feel like being interrogated, for lack of a better word. I will try my best to answer you with my limited wisdom. Honoring Marry is right. But As the lyrics end with the word "Amen"...

    Singing Ave Maria in church/home robs God's Glory?

    Strange that word "living" just hit both of us at the same time. Our post were just 3 minutes apart. :rolleyes:

    Singing Ave Maria in church/home robs God's Glory?

    I would want to skip your other questions regarding my content. That would be going in circles. But l can reply to your claims from the above verses regarding Paul's asking for other brothers and sisters to pray for him. These verses are all directed toward those of the living! I am concerned...

    Singing Ave Maria in church/home robs God's Glory?

    Luke 4:8 Jesus replied, "The Scriptures say, 'You must worship the LORD your God and serve only him.'" All the hymns and songs we sing in Churches must have something to do with the Trinity. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Ave Maria is not part of the Trinity and it seems to me that any...

    Singing Ave Maria in church/home robs God's Glory?

    Blessings! I would like not to go so far as singing the song "Ave Maria" in a Church. I have never heard this tune played besides in a Catholic church. My real question is: Would you consider merely accepting, liking and playing this song in your home and get this guilty feeling of worshiping...
