    They BELIEVE for a while, and in time of testing FALL AWAY

    A seed planted in fertile soil takes root, grows to maturity and produces fruit. All other plants die, because the seeds were either scattered on rocky or shallow soil and wasn't watered, it wasn't cared for. The person did not emerge themselves in the WORD. They really did not believe, they...

    Richard Dawkins and Christinianity

    My Dad was an atheist for most of his life. He was brought up with Catholic parents and seven sisters who believed. But at 10 years old, he got on his knees and prayed to God to save his Dad who had TB (that in 1941 had no cure). God said no, so my Dad decided there wasn't a God and kept that...

    Biden - It's not Easter! It's Transgender Day!

    Maybe if they stayed inside the house all year long and then came outside to be visible on that day and the rest of us could stay inside on that day, that would be fine.

    We have been lied to | The Church is not the bride! ??? Say what?

    BTW, I used to use that HOLY painting of Jesus by Akiane Kramarik in another forum as my avatar. 8 years old ... Incredible. Michelangelo would be impressed. I do believe she captured his image. Besides Colton Burpo confirmed that it was Jesus. Both children have amazing stories.

    We have been lied to | The Church is not the bride! ??? Say what?

    I agree that there is a trend among factions of Christians ( Universalists), who just see God as LOVE and not a God of judgment and condemnation. I am not one of them! There is now no condemnation IN CHRIST - but no all have a relationship with Him. Jesus came ( the 1st time) as the Prince of...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I don't agree with Universalism. However, I disagree with the above premise and eschatological beliefs. The Antichrist is about to take over the world/ be revealed. He is not the Pope nor any Pope in the past. They are for Christ not against Him. You have a deep seated hatred. There a billion...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Christians are sensing evil spreading. Not all of us sense an approaching Great Tribulation, since many believe that Christianity itself will spread and eventually transform the planet. This is not what scripture tells though. Many see this NWO in power now. I think the "Plandemic" was a dress...

    We have been lied to | The Church is not the bride! ??? Say what?

    He is an angry man, filled with contempt. I wouldn't listen to guys like this. You need to see the "Fruit of the Spirit" in a preacher, a teacher and any Christian: love, joy, peace, kindness, gentleness, patience, goodness, faith, self control. You use that measuring stick to then evaluate his...

    How LONG will God stand for this world’s INSANITY?

    Until Jesus crushed his head when He died and rose from the dead, then the Father gave all authority was to Him. Satan gets a brief return to power for 3 1/2 years soon.

    How LONG will God stand for this world’s INSANITY?

    Right, Trump isn 't the Savior as some may think. No, the country and world are not curable by any man. All he did was postpone the inevitable. To make America great again is unattainable; it's too far out-of reach. The forces of evil are deeply imbedded in the system, corrupting everything...

    How LONG will God stand for this world’s INSANITY?

    In the end times, Satan not only persecutes Israel, but also the Church. I think this NWO will steal the election again. They will take extreme measures to disallow Trump from being president. ??? Arresting him and/or convicting him before this was plan A. But they have plan B. The movie that...

    Evolution is a wrong idea if you believe in creation IMO

    Because it is not a physical mutation/defect. It is not in our genes - though they try to find a gay gene, they fail. God designed man and woman to mate. He did not make a mistake with creation. Since the mind is not physical, neither are your thoughts, therefore actions are not based on your...

    A small rapture?

    A false misrepresentation. I am retired and read 4-5 hours/day ... even posts I learn nothing from. Did you read the quotes from John MacAthur and RC Sproul? No, I guess yoi reject their scholarship as you did most "Christianity"? A wrong perspective. God calls his sheep, who are unbelievers at...

    A small rapture?

    Maybe your concept of "all sin" is lacking something important. All sin means past present AND future sins. So it is an ongoing process. Spiritually cleansed completely and daily from there on. Sanctification means we are set apart, but also the " being transformed into the likeness of Christ"...

    A small rapture?

    The point in all of this that I was trying to make is that we, as Christians, are not perfect and though we have been cleansed and forgiven, we still sin. If you did not sin and loved God with all your might and soul and strength and loved tour neighbor as yourself you would be perfect. I...

    A small rapture?

    Absolutely, those who put their faith in Christ are cleansed - spiritually. BUT WE STILL DEAL WITH THE FLESH and the flesh wars against the spirit. We are a new creature and I believe it's a done deal, OSAS. If we died suddenly at any moment, we would separate from our bodies, ascend to heaven...

    A small rapture?

    So are the two commandments that Jesus gave ( that all other commandments fall under), to love God and love your neighbor not laws? You have not reached an understanding of Romans 7. Paul struggled with the flesh. It warred against his spirit. But I see another law in my members, warring...

    A small rapture?

    "Centered" is a good term. Prone to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh is often encouraged. Being a former slave to sin, I didn't know what sin was and so was acting naturally, bent towards fulfilling the various lusts with some restraint, without being a savage, endulging in any one thing...
