I don't see where Jesus ever said this was only for the apostles. You have said nothing that changes my beliefs.

No doubt, if you search the internet long enough, you will find someone out there who supports your self-created ideology. The Oxford Dictionary says of a fetus: "An unborn or unhatched offspring of a mammal, in particular an unborn human more than eight weeks after conception." The Bible...

Those who say that they have placed their trust in Jesus, but continue in a life of lawlessness, have obviously never placed their trust in Him. I don't know how this works with others, but even when I want to explore inappropriate thoughts, even from an academic point of view, my brain just...

Yes, demons know who He is, but they do not believe in Him. The message I get from Scripture is that those who believe in Him place their trust in Him. We are given new life as a new creation in Christ Jesus. "However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God...

That seems to be the way my Bible reads, and the foundation of our faith. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

I must be missing something here. I always thought that when we are saved, we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. ??

Yes, he is in a better place, as well as a number of people I know, who are now in a better place. Yet for those of us left behind, for some reason, it doesn't seem to hurt any less. :-( Helen, Thank you for the update. :-(

So what is your point?? God says He is going to trash it anyway!

It was common practice for the early church to observe the Lord's Supper as a prelude to their evening meal.

Just as with husband and wife, it is a relationship which grows over the years.

My favourite saint is my wife who went home 5 years ago.

Ryan, we have different reasons for not attending church, whether age and lack of mobility, or perhaps there isn't a conveniently local church worth attending. I am 78 years of age, and have some mobility problems that keep me home. I note you are from Tennesee. My favourite pastor from the...

The Bible does not address the activity you have mentioned, but I figure pre-marital conception is not all that uncommon, but conception resulting from adultery mandates abortion: "But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual...

No big deal! He knew us all, those whom "He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world . . ." Ephesians 1:4 I posted this recently. Simply, He knew everything that would happen before the foundation of the world. He knew who would be born and who wouldn't.

Did I miss something revealed in Scripture?? The message in Scripture is that He gave up His entire Godhood, and became flesh like the rest of us. Did you have something in mind that would refute that??

Actually not! The two subjects are synonymous and are used interchangeably in Matt 6:7, often translated as a caution to avoid using "vain repetitions as the heathen" or "babbling on". Included in "vain repetitions" would be the use of 'prayer books' from which people insincerely read their...

You have quoted an abundance of irrelevant Scripture, which instead of proving your case does the opposite. If God had any problem with abortion, you could have merely quoted what God had to say on the matter, like "Thou shalt not abort the conception of thy womb". I think God is pretty smart...

The mother's blood is the only blood being pumped through a fetus, until the umbilical cord is severed.

I know a number of people who have had miscarriages, but still went on to have other children. I have no idea how they feel about their experience, and have no plan to ask. If they had a need to tell, then I think they would have. They don't seem to have been at all effected by the experience...

That has nothing to do with the question, which was what kind of medical procedures should be used in the case of a stillborn baby, whether CPR or whatever. The Bible does not give any instructions. As for you shedding of innocent blood, it has nothing to do with abortion. It has to do with...
