    Will we dream in Heaven?

    It's true we may not have a need for sleeping and dreaming in heaven. But we will also have no need to eat or drink for sustenance, but scripture does indicate we will, in some places (marriage feast of the Lamb being the prime example). Will we not be able to close our eyes and blink in heaven...

    Hated by the World

    John 15:18-19 "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Does anyone feel particularly hated in this world...

    Did Jesus quote 1 Enoch?

    Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead they will be like the angels of heaven." I cannot find this quote, which expressly states that people...

    Did God ever revoke his covenant with David tentatively?

    Question. I think I remember reading somewhere that God did this. I can't remember where. If someone has a passage please share and thank you

    Can one gain the whole world and not lose their soul?

    Or is gaining friendship with the world automatically "put you at God's displeasure"?

    What's your favorite Gospel?

    I used to think it was John because of John 14 and John 15. Then I thought it was Matthew for quite some time, as Matthew contains so many parables. Now I'm reading through Luke and think it could very well be Luke! Mark is pretty short so I never considered it my favorite. What do you think...

    Matt 24:31 vs. Matt 13:40-42

    Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. —Versus— Matthew 13:40 As the weeds are collected and burned in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The...

    Reincarnation of Elijah

    Was John the Baptist really Elijah? If so, does that mean reincarnation is a biblically backed position? What do you make of these passages— Matthew 17:11-13 11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not...

    Thinking your way into perdition

    Hey forum, I was wondering, do you think it is possible to have a thought life that is so terribly blasphemic that one ends up going to hell due to all the evil thoughts they had? Would God send anyone to hell who had really bad blasphemic thoughts on their mind every day? Or does God only...

    My understanding of sin

    Sin, as I understand it, means that if one harbours so much as a single unrighteous thought, that person is guilty of sin. Who then can claim that they have zero untoward thoughts and are completely without sin? It is certainly no small wonder why we need the blood of Jesus. What are your...

    Everyone will be best friends with everyone

    Matthew 22:30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. I was meditating on this scripture and it was revealed to me a part of what heaven will be like, is that everyone will belong to everyone else and our conversation and...

    Prayers for family friend

    So a dear family friend of ours came over today with her adorable 4yo daughter. We chatted and had a nice time. At the end of our meeting I met her outside and asked her how she feels about her son going to church programs. She said she's fine with it. I asked her if she believed in God. She...

    . . .They be born again, of water and spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh and Spirit to spirit. My question to those who are born again... What do you "see" ? Just to compare with my own experiences. John 3:3-8 Blessings

    Monotheism vs. Predestination

    I'm wondering, does the belief in a singular God by an uncommitted person (one without a religion like Christianity) actually evidence that we are not as dead as predestination doctrine would have us believe? To me, the nonreligious belief in God at all would seem to show a semblance of...

    Parents of Handicapped children

    Keeping Sabbath not in effect

    The 4th commandment (3rd in Catholicism) is no longer in effect in the same way it was during OT times. We are no longer to slavishly observe Sunday or Saturday or any other day designated by church authority, for Christ is all and in all. Each day is Holy gift of God and should be lived as...
