I have long looked at John 14:15 according to how it is written in the NIV and KJV. But I was confronted with another translation that was quoted in a book I'm reading. This translation seems to carry a different meaning altogether. http://biblehub.com/john/14-15.htm John 14:15 NIV : "If...

How should you present the scriptures along with your own ideas and interpretation? Is it improper to present your ideas along side scripture as to say, "if you disagree with me you disagree with scripture". I am leaning towards not coercing people to believe as I do out of their fear of God...

I was thinking of recommending our small church get a notification system, and I wounder if anyone has any experience with these. I would like a system that calls the numbers from different groups and plays a recorded message to them. If a message could also be emailed or SMS texted that would...

There is a moment when the Holy Spirit enters you and seals you as a child of God. Protestants call this the moment of salvation. Is that it, or is your soul still in danger? Philippians 1:6 "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until...

I'm trying to determine what is so wrong with offending others. Now this doesn't apply to the gospel or scriptures, which will offend many but must still be shared. I refer to our opinions, that are trivial in the grand scheme of things. Some people are so easily offended I think they could...

What’s with the collapsing infrastructure lately? It seems like every time you check the news a building has collapsed. If a building hasn't collapsed then a bus, train, or plane has crashed. I don’t believe it to be coincidental; there must be some reason for all of this. I believe these...

I would like to discuss God's role in important decisions in life. What is the depth of his involvement, are there limits to how far he is willing to influence your decisions. Suppose you reach a fork in the road of life and the paths in all directions seem equally good. Proverbs 16:9...

It is my belief that the apostles should not have tried to fulfill Psalm 109:8 as they did in Acts 1:20-26. By doing this they forced God to choose between two of Jesus’ followers, but it would actually be Paul who would eventually fulfill this scripture. Has anyone but Jesus ever knowingly...

This is my first post here, so I’ll make it something thought provoking as a first impression. My question is based on the idea that God is eternal and timeless. I think the following scriptures support this concept: Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8; Psalm 102:12; Psalm 102:24-27; Isaiah 57:15; Psalm...
