On this forum there are many who don't have regular fellowship or membership with an established church. And their reasons for not doing so are remarkably similar... Not teaching the Bible, money demands, hypocrisy etc. Ironically, I would hazard a guess that not any two of those here who...

And unbeknown to most, formed a quartet called Peter, Paul, Mary and John, but later changed it to the The Four Hoarsemen.

I hate the concept held by some that God deliberately established or created sin just so He could be merciful. Ridiculous and as you say, sabotage.

Weren't they in jail together?

We don't know which Mary though. There were at least 3, maybe 4, which hung out with the apostles.

From my church's Bible lesson for this week dealing with prophecy... Though, yes, there is much that we don’t know, why is it crucial to focus now on what we do know and to follow what we know—as opposed to obsessing over what we don’t know?

Can't say a disagree with much of that, although I might add that we are all beneficiaries of the mercy and grace of God, and the structural integrity of buildings we are in at any point in time.

Ironically from Peter, Paul, and Mary.

I also was an altar boy, all my friends were Catholic until I left school to work. Despite the many shortcomings in my Catholic upbringing as far as doctrine, and experiential relational direction from the church (which to this day is actively discouraged) somehow, which I can only put down to...

Yet two of them were just newly created in the image of Christ. Lucifer stood in the very presence of the Almighty. They walked in the garden with God. Communed with Him on a daily basis. All 3 fell. And infected the rest of us with a terminal illness. What more do we need because they failed...

You reveal some excellent insight. It seems to me at times that Trump was told he was a Christian on the basis of wishful thinking or positive affirmations in the hope that one day they will "prophetically" come to pass. So he believes it. He hasn't been told that to be a Christian one needs to...

I think I may have read it 3 or 4 times, possibly more if I take into account revision of particular chapters. It was the first book I read at becoming an Adventist 28 years ago. Loaned to me from a friend who got it back probably somewhat late. I've bought a couple of copies of my own since...

Instant gratification is the allure that Satan dangles before us... The exact opposite to the "patience of the saints that keep the commandments of God and having the faith of Jesus".

And ain't that our problem today? Thinking there is potential benefit from sinning... However temporary such benefit may be?

I would like to recommend to you a book that has changed my worldview almost as much as scripture. It's history. From the first century to the 19th. Some of it isn't pretty. Most of it is controversial. Much of it is unknown to most. But all of it is hugely edifying, encouraging, revelatory, and...

So who should I complain to? What body governs the moral direction for auto -correct keyboards? Okay, never mind. Getting way off topic here. Sorry Barnes.

Having a Christian President may make your life easier, but is that what is good for the church as a whole? From my observation from history, whenever the church joined in any relationship with the world, in particular its politics, it tended to make both parties weaker. Like the iron and clay...

I'll take it. Of course it is. The only guarantees in scripture are covenantal promises. So God's word that says, “What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. ” Nahum 1:9 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Nahum.1.9 I would...

You aren't helping.

I agree. But I read on this very forum professing Christians calling Jesus Lord, but claiming the ten commandments are voided by Jesus' death... It's okay to have marital relations before marriage... Is okay to drink, smoke, attend rock concerts, wear tattoos, insult those they disagree with...
