Many of us probably say "God Bless" routinely and without a lot of thought behind the words. But your story, and that of your sister, do give meaning to this term. god has blessed you both so wonderfully. Praise His holy Name. May God continue to bless you both, and all of us as well, Rank...

We as Christians must keep our eyes on the real prize, which of course is eternal salvation. But at the same time we as Americans must also deal with the real world that surrounds us. And the problems currently facing this country are just incredible. Could it be that all of this chaos has...

Say What?

Hell, hades and/or sheol are all very real, and are places for the souls of the dead (lost) to reside and to be tormented until the judgement. Some scholars maintain that hades is divided into two sections, the place of lost souls and the place of righteous souls, with the latter being referred...

The "Third" (and final) temple will be rebuilt in the appropriate time, because God has decreed it to be so. The Ark and other furniture of the Holy of Holies has been found and recovered by Israel, and when the Mosque on the Temple Mount is removed (again by God's decree, possibly by using men...

I was in Federal law enforcement until retirement. One day I received a call from a U.S. Magistrate (before they got the title of Magistrate-Judge) who was ticked off at a guy I had charged but who failed to appear at his hearing, and wanted him arrested that day and hauled 50 miles to the...

Jerry, I have a lot of problems with the reference you gave me. A LOT of problems. So I will thank you for taking the time to reply, but I will search for more scriptural answers from others. Rank Stranger

I really should not butt in here, but I believe the Bible is clear that there actually are two "baptisms". The first, and the only one that counts, occurs at the instant that a person obtains a true, heart-felt belief in Jesus as the only Savior who died for all sinners (as a perfect, flawless...

I have a slight problem. For a long time I have felt that true Christians would be caught up to Jesus in the clouds before the tribulation period actually began. But after studying Matthew 24 and Revelation 6 thru 14, I am no longer convinced that Christians will not be subjected to terrible...

My favorite Christian-based movie is Facing the Giants. What a great message it contains, and it is entertaining as well. Rank Stranger

This is simply outrageous in every regard. And to top it all off, San Diego County does not have a legal leg to stand on. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled long ago (citation not included due to forgetfulness by this OF) that the First Amendment was incorporated to the individual states by means of...

John the Baptist, when he stated Jesus would baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire, was talking about the pass-fail situation of Christianity. Every person has a free-will choice to follow Jesus and believe in HIm, which of course results in baptism by the Holy Spirit of God entering into all...

QUOTE (watchman @ Apr 12 2009, 10:04 PM) I have seen some strange beliefs in my day but the belief that Satan is bound in heaven has got to be one of the weirdest. Agreed!Rank Stranger

Satan was an angel serving God throughout the Old Testament. Every OT reference to him tells us so. In Job we see him as the "tempter". If he was in the Garden of Eden, and we do not know that he was (only the "serpent" is cursed by God), then was he serving God in his role as tempter there...

QUOTE (tomwebster @ Mar 29 2009, 03:44 PM) I know the new name because I read the Scriptures. Have you not read Revelation 19: 13. We are told what the new name is, I advise you get with it and read the Word of God.The seven thunders: When does thunder happen, before or after the lightning...

Tom, you wrote:"Why did man not know the new name? "and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself." They could know it if they had studied Scripture. Have you, do you know that "New Name." I know it."Do you realize just how stupid you announce yourself to be (not ignorant because...

QUOTE (Copper25 @ Mar 27 2009, 05:14 PM) Frankly, ether one is in the flock and in the sheep fold of Christ, or they were not in it at all, why?John 10:27) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:John 10:28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish...

Dearest C, you wrote,"I suggest you find out because OSAS means exactly that once you accept Christ you can do anything worship anything and your still saved are you sure you want to follow that doctrine?"You are sooo wrong with this belief. Once a true believer is in Christ, he is centered...

C, you also stated, "Why does he say this to believers ???? answer that question and you will know you OSAS is a fake doctrine of men." I believe I have answered that question sufficiently, but I will add to it in the hope my meaning is clearer. Jesus tells us that the way to Heaven...
