    Hostility In Gatherings And Interactions

    I've lost count of the ostensibly Christian gatherings I've attended and contacts I've made to promote spiritual growth, both my own and others, with the result being exposure to various forms of hostility. This has vexed me in the past to the point where I am very selective about what...

    Having eternal life now vs. living eternally

    That's why it's called the hope of glory. Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

    Use Not this verse : 1 John 1:9...if you are born again.

    The seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation were located in Asia Minor and each faced their own set of problems. For example, the church in Pergamum was known as the worldly church because they allowed sin like idols, immorality, cults and heresies to remain among them even though...

    Use Not this verse : 1 John 1:9...if you are born again.

    Hence the seven letters to the ekklesias . . . Example: Rev 2:4-5 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. (5) Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    God's Plan produced opposition to His Will as inevitably as this arrangement of numbers produces its results. The number 666 is a doubly triangular number because it can be expressed as the sum of two consecutive triangular numbers: 36 (the 8th triangular number) and 630 (the 35th triangular...

    Open Discussion of UR Chapter Three - God's character

    I wouldn't get far. Lev 10:1-3 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them. (2) So fire went out from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD...

    Is true that we are the masters of our own lives or is God actually directing everything?

    A Four Dimensional Framework to describe the interactions between God and man. I believe God has created us with a dimension of freewill which He wants us to exercise in harmony with His Will as expressed in His Word and evidenced in His Work. 1. Foreknowledge - God always knows everything, if...

    Some Serious Spiritual Drinking Desired

    Still a problem . . . Jer 2:13 "For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water. . . . and yet they are still referred to as "My people".

    I asked a chatbot some questions

    Me: Do you know who I am? Chatbot: No, I don’t know who you are. I am a chatbot and my purpose is to provide information and assistance to users. I don’t have the ability to identify individual users. Me: Do you know where I live? Chatbot: No, I don’t know where you live. I am a chatbot and...

    Why do you think God decided to have Jesus die

    Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; God wouldn't be God if there was a greater purpose than His own. Everything about Creation was good until sin spoiled it. Fortunately God had a remedy already planned. The admonition is to look to Jesus as...

    Why do you think God decided to have Jesus die

    Why do you think God decided to have Jesus die? The short answer is that it was the only way to redeem sinners.

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Yes, and according to the inspired Word of God which is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness, not only is Satan a being but his angels are also. Rev 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    So good to see stuff in the Bible on the internet. SPIRITUAL ARMOUR Helmet of Salvation = Thoughts Free of Condemnation. Breastplate of Righteousness = Heart Full of Godliness. Girdle of Truth = Covering Secured by Living Proof. Footwear of the Preparation of the Gospel of Peace =...

    True or False, Satan is doing exactly what God intended him to do.

    Christians have the armour of God for a reason. Too bad if they don't put it on because the devil likes to kill and steal and destroy. Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

    "For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet"

    The Gospel has been spreading since antiquity. Genesis 3:15 says, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Known as the protoevangelium, or first gospel, this verse announces the curse on mankind...

    "For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet"

    Hi Patrick1966. I hope you are keeping well and praising the Lord for His many blessings. Here is my contribution to your thread. The corruption of Christianity is a serious and complex issue that has plagued the history of the faith for centuries. Christianity, as a religion based on the...
