    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    One 2 question said: My spiritual food that nourishes my spirit is still the same, every word that proceeds from my Parent in heaven. In the early years it came through the bibles (milk). Ever since then His life giving words have come through various means, rarely the bible...

    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    In my view, salvation is many-faceted. It begins with the atonement and ends in the afterlife. The Elect are enjoined here, the rest come later. "each in turn..." 1 Corinthians 15:22-24 NIV For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the...

    Bible knowledge for life quiz - Closed book test

    Okay, without looking up answers in the Bible or online... answer these real life situations with biblical answers from memory. (extra points if you include the references) But not necessary. What scriptures come to mind when you read these real life situations. 1) You just lost your job...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    That means that the will of humankind can supplant the will of God that all should be saved. It's not His will that any should perish. He will see to it that all come to salvation. IMHO Philippians 2:10-11 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    St. SteVen said: Are you saying that we can't be saved by a stranger? Who really knows God completely anyway? Knowing COMPLETELY "the only true God, and Jesus Christ" is certainly not a requirement for a renewed relationship with God. (salvation) I think the need to...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    St. SteVen said: Are you saying that we can't be saved by a stranger? My point is that in the same way a stranger can jump from a bridge to rescue a drowning victim in the waters below, God can save us when we have no knowledge of who He is. Even an atheist can be saved by...

    While reading this I had the thought that milk helps to build the bones. Those strong bones remain after the massive milk diet has ended. Same with the Bible. That milk gives us a backbone to stand spiritually as we mature to receive the meat. John 14:26 NIV But the Advocate, the Holy...

    You asked me to state my view on the character of God. I can gladly testify to how I came to Christ and how I came to accept Universalism. See below. At eight years of age I was attending a Summer Bible camp in Wisconsin. In a morning chapel service the man speaking did as they always did, he...

    @ProDeo ... Mercy triumphs over judgment. - James 2:13 NIV The tendency in Christianity is to view the judgment as a manifestation of God's wrath AGAINST humankind, that were created in his image. But how should the God who commanded us NOT to take revenge act? Yes, he will repay, but from...

    Does Christian Universalism deny the justice of God?

    Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I suppose I wouldn't have launched this topic if I didn't believe that...
