    Can a Christian Backslide/lose salvation?

    Thanks Bro Consider for a moment - Do men really lose their wives? No, they know where they are, but many times they leave them. This would be a more appropriate wording. I sincerely believe that we as believers/Christians - can walk away from God, from salvation. Its not so much that we got...

If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 3:4 Thou hast a few...

    Is meditation OK as a Christian?

    (DONNIE;41479) Meditation helps one to focus. Those that do not meditate can not understand. Can you sit and concentrate totally on one subject for 15 minutes without any other thoughts entering your mind and changing your direction of thought? Meditation will allow you to achieve that state...

    Is meditation OK as a Christian?

    (Two;41433) I think you mean constructively don't you Franklin?

To some it simply means...

    Is meditation OK as a Christian?

    (DONNIE;41406) I practice "nothingness" meditation. Catch and release random thoughts. Clear the mind. It is wonderful. Donnie Could you elaborate on this process. BTW I think meditation can be great. I am certain you can do it destructively and positively... Be wise!

    Asking for forgiveness

    Grace! The Lord is not looking for a life of perfection, but a heart of change. Come to Him tell Him "Lord I have sinned, please forgive me, and by Your Spirit change me" Little more is required. This is a matter of the heart, not a checklist. We don't list each sin, and assume a new element of...

    The Real Gift Of Christ!

    sabbelianist? Just playing, so you are a oneness adherent. You then think the Trinity is a false view of God? How do you deal with much of the textual evidence in the bible, and account for the fact that nearly every theologian, revival, and move of God was in the Trinity camps? Just curious
