    In 50 words summarize what is necessary to be saved from the LOF.

    Please critique my own summary feel free to share your own. Thank you. Believe that Jesus came as God in the flesh and sacrificed himself as payment for our sins and was resurrected on the third day. Acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and Savior by repenting from sin and obeying his commands...

    What was/is the purpose of Jesus coming to Earth according to the Bible?

    In Genesis we see that Satan and then humanity rebelled against God. The following verses suggest that Jesus's purpose was/is to unite ALL THINGS back to God the Father. Do you agree? Ephesians 1:7-10 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to...

    Interesting preterist argument

    This guy lays out a good argument for Jesus's return in 70 AD. I'm curious for your thoughts IF you watch the 25-minute video.

    Fantastic interview! I didn't realize that the Speaker is such a strong Christian!

    I have my doubts that Catholicism is Christianity

    This is one reason why. My goodness they are deceived and lost! There is ZERO chance that God's humble and faithful servant would EVER say such a thing. These apparitions are demonic and this is coming from a 50-year Catholic that once thought that the "Lady of Fatima" stuff was great. That was...

    I have a terrible and unGodly weakness

    When I encounter militant atheists, and their numbers are innumerable, I become filled with hatred and vindictiveness toward them when I witness their lies and hatred for that which is Godly. In other words, I am oftentimes a terrible Christian. I believe that they are the tares that Jesus...

    Saul persecuted apostles and yet it only took Jesus appearing to him...

    ...to compel him to repent. When Jesus appears to people in all his glory, as he did with Saul, do you believe that there is a single person that can reject him? I don't. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He never stops seeking the lost until they are found and when Jesus appears in all his glory...

    Has "Christian Forums" become a Catholic site?

    I get the impression that it has. They are very defensive about questioning Catholic doctrine.

    Attending group Bible studies

    Can you imagine all of us getting together for a Bible study? In 5 minutes it would be a massive argument. Do any of you participate or lead them? Is there a way to lead it so that it doesn't devolve into a doctrinal debate? Have you had positive or negative experiences with them?

    I can’t imagine NOT being married to my wife in Heaven!

    I can only surmise that we acquire a greater understanding and love and so maybe we're "in love" with everyone! For that matter, will the concept of "male" and "female" exist in Heaven? I presume that procreation doesn't exist and that it is replaced by something far greater. I guess I am unable...

    Is my childhood, pet, fish in Heaven?

    When I was 12 my mother bought me a male swordtail similar to the fish in the picture below. I named him "James Bond". I had him for perhaps a year in my 20-gallon fish tank. I loved him. Is he in Heaven?

    Who is NOT a "slave to sin"?

    I believe it was said that anyone who practices sinning is a slave to sin. Is there anybody that doesn't "practice sin"? I'm of the thought that even the strictest and best-intentioned Christians on Earth can't help but sin (miss the mark) on a daily basis. Or are those who come up short but...

    The Bible on faith, unbelief, pride, humility, & finding Jesus

    The Bible tells us that one can only believe in and follow Jesus IF they are blessed by God the Father to do so. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans...

    How many worlds filled with people has God made?

    Only Earth? Doesn't it seem likely that God has created gazillions of worlds with uncountable numbers of people? Here's a thought. Maybe one day you too will help God to create a new world filled with sinful people and that YOU will go into the world to be the Christ for them. Wouldn't...

    Were Adam and Eve the first humans on Earth?

    I saw this debate on another message board and I'm curious as to your thoughts. Thanks.

    Yes, Jesus meant TODAY in his message to the thief on the cross

    Most people argue about where that darn comma in the verse is supposed to be! Let's forget about the comma. If it was Jesus's intention to communicate that the thief would be in his kingdom eventually in the future, he likely would have said "You will be with me in paradise", which of course...
