    How can any of you stand it

    Rom 8:1-2 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (2) For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death. Good News. Rom 8:28-30 And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him...

    Love cannot be coerced but it can be conserved. The Ten Commandments are about the conservation of our relationship with God and with our fellowman. Likewise the prohibition on accepting the Mark of the Beast is about conserving the worship of God and acknowledging His Sovereignty rather than...

    The TOTKOGAE was a quality control standard, a perfect way to monitor mankind's perfect obedience to their Perfect Creator in His Perfect Creation.

    An Intimate Personal Relationship with Christ

    Hi @Berserk The basis for a personal relationship with Christ is found in several passages of Scripture. One of the most well-known verses is John 3:16, which says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”...

    Who is the Word of God, the Word of Life?

    A Theophany is an appearance or manifestation of God that is tangible to the human senses. In its most restrictive sense, it refers to a visible appearance of God in the Old Testament period, often in human form. The term comes from the Greek words "theos" meaning "God" and "phainein" meaning...

    I have never been under Old Testament Law as described in the Bible, neither had the first Gentile Christians unless they were proselytes of Judaism.

    Christ Jesus is God: BIBLICAL PROOF, JUST FOLLOW THE ROCK!

    Quote from Albert Barnes Notes on 1 Timothy 3:16 The word “justified,” here, is not used in the sense in which it is when applied to Christians, but in its more common signification. It means to “vindicate,” and the sense is, that he was shown to be the Son of God by the agency of the Holy...

    problem related to praying in tongues

    Well said. The Mormon "burning in the bosom" is a counterfeit of the genuine presence of Christ by the Holy Spirit.

    Predestined to be saved or lost?

    From another perspective: The Gap Theory, also known as the Ruin and Reconstruction Theory of creation, is a theological interpretation that suggests that there was a gap of time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 in the Bible. This theory postulates that an unspecified amount of time passed between...
