The Bible is the Word of God, Jesus is the Word of God, therefore what you're saying is Jesus alone is heretical.... this to me is blasphemy.

Wynona, You are a rare gem in the world of "fake gemstones". God bless

Thanks @Hidden In Him for bringing this to my attention.... Ronald, the way I see it the seals 1-5 were opened after the ascension and the entire church age is the "tribulation". We are thus awaiting the inevitable 6th seal and the return of Christ to be opened. When one rightly sees this, the...

For me being rooted in Christ is to be able to weather the storms life throws at you to try your faith. There are many adverse situations in this life we will find ourselves in, and we either respond poorly or in Love, which is the essence of what Paul is speaking of in Ephesians 3:17 This being...

It is my belief that the final outpouring of the Spirit will be this gift, much like the outpouring of tongues was the first gift given on a large scale. From what he has shown me this outpouring will be a "visual" gift. You will literally be able to see who has the light in them and who does...

Friend Of, You are in what i known as a "dry spell"... From Tozer: Understanding Those Dry Spells Excerpt from A. W. Tozer Probably nothing else bothers the earnest Christian quite so much as the problem of those dry spells that come to him occasionally, no matter how faithfully he tries to...

With Biden coming out and saying, "this man cannot remain in power", "Brandon" has now crossed a line. Imagine if the Chinese leader were to say the U.S. President must not remain in power, we would laugh in his face.... Why is it that Putin must Go? He really is no different than Biden, he got...

I think I am over the bitterness and anger towards her, although sometimes it still comes to the forefront of my thoughts. I am more ready to move on with my life than anything else. I still love her, and i would not have suffered the things i did had i not loved her, but she did not see my...

My divorce was just finalized in February. so I am still adjusting. I was hospitalized and nearly kicked the bucket last summer, the day after i get out of the Hospital she tells me she is divorcing me and hands me the papers. (Although i knew for years that is where we were heading) If it...

Believe me I sacrificed a lot to alter the outcome of that dream, but alas it was not to be. Now looking back I see how that relationship was holding me back, and how detrimental it was to my wellbeing, and I wish I would have let it end sooner. It is true that a victim of abuse (emotional and...

My Problem with dreams (for me anyway) is that they have a knack for coming true, and that most of them are not very pleasant. Although I was raised a Baptist, I can totally relate to your upbringing, as it sounds biographical of my own life including my mother as well as the rocky marriage...

Interesting topic Michael, For me personally my Mom said she was given my name in a dream" (she was a deeply Spiritual Christian). When I Got saved as a child my mom got a hold of a "name meanings" book, she put my names together and they mean "Beloved guardian of the King"... I do not know if...

Great Point. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

What is Life, LORD? We know nothing when we leave the womb and then we think we know everything in our youth as we venture out into this wicked world. Before we know it our vessels are falling apart, and we have wasted our life travailing for riches that do not satisfy. The enemies of this world...

From A.W. Tozer: Chapter 68. Faith Is a Perturbing Thing "Faith," said the early Lutherans, "is a perturbing thing." To Martin Luther goes the credit under God for having rediscovered the Biblical doctrine of justification by faith. Luther's emphasis upon faith as the only way into peace of...

In thanksgiving to God, the Love of God is manifested to us. One of the most repeated Phrases in the word of God is "Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!" (Psalm 118:1, ESV, among 16 other verses which declare the same thing) It is the Love of God...

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. (2 Corinthians 4:15) How much of our life is spent in ingratitude and an endless pursuit of what we do not have, and think we deserve, that we fail to offer sacrifices...

knowledge and wisdom puffs up the individual who strives for them. It is Human (sinful) nature that this occurs, and the counter to this is to come into the presence of an almighty and omniscient God. The ultimate result of this is an unteachable spirit in the person who is puffed up with wisdom...
