    Deceiving Yourself?

    Hello @Behold, I agree, that the Spirit of Christ within a person can not sin, however the body still does. What is important is not making a practice to what the body does.

    What Is the Significance of the Seven Churches in Revelation?

    Hello @WalterandDebbie, I believe these were created for a specific audience, where some individuals were flourishing while others faced challenges. It seems to offer a somewhat different perspective of Jesus compared to his time on earth before he ascended to sit at the right hand of God...

    Deceiving Yourself?

    Hello @Lambano, Do you have any comments on anything that was written? Thank you for writing what you have, just curious if you understood the message or not or you just decided to comment your thoughts on some things, concerning the letter John had written. I am a bit confused. I would like to...

    If Christian Universalism is true, what's the point in evangelism?

    Hello to the reader, My question is regarding Christian universalism: why didn't God simply create a flawless human race that constantly worships Him? I believe that God is present with every individual on earth, but the key is that they must come to that realization themselves and be born...

    Deceiving Yourself?

    There are many people who support a doctrine in which they themselves become sinlessly perfect in their flesh. To me it's quite an unbiblical notion due to a writing of John's which states (1 John 1:8) if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. The people state...

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    Lol. It just goes to show the failures of the flesh once it's riled up enough. Ain't no body perfect in this life, and also God's not a respector of persons. He doesn't favor people over the other, he looks upon all peoples heart from a equal standpoint knowing all the secrets, and all the good...

    The Way God HAS ALWAYS Revealed The Truth.

    ScottA, terrible plagues just as on Pharoh came upon Israel leading up to 70Ad. It's actually amazing how much from the beginning, came at the end. "Im am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End." Wild!

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    The Bible itself, is helpful for us, even though it was not written directly to Wanda Yonchichvak in Germany directly. Ephesians 5:26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, Concerning the church in that day. That was too pure, without blemish, and holy...

    Who sits on the throne?

    Thank you for your contribution, @th1b.taylor. I believe so as well, I remember that in the Revelation, Yeshua states he would share the throne with his Father, so there has to be something to that. Revelation 3:21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne...

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    Hello @Ritajanice, It is that way sometimes, cause I do desire to help if it be so by the Spirit of Christ, because I do genuinely care for peoples spiritual maturity, and well being. I hope to get to live a little while longer I just don't know how much time I have left. Here lately I have...

    Who sits on the throne?

    The Throne in Heaven 4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a...

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    People are quite interesting, for sure. Proverbs 3:5 5 Trust unto Jehovah/Yahweh/Yahavah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not. It's amazing that the Old Testament mostly in any translation concludes the name of God as simply LORD. However the LORD does have a name...

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    It still doesn't look like the trinity saves anyone. Why do you think so many people spend so much time on such a doctrine? Perhaps old-fashioned tradition is what does is and does what it does. When people say you "must" doesn't always mean you "must."

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    Hello @Ronald Nolette, People gotta read the Bible to figure it out. It’s the only thing which helps renew the mind.

    Can a person be a Christ-follower without falling in lock-step with the institutional church?

    Hello @GodsGrace, It’s Faith and love from my point of view.

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    Hello @Behold, Because of your constant persistent this why I have placed you on ignored. Hello @Bob Estey , By all means whatever you may think. I love you both and hope the best for you in your life.

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    Hello @Behold, It’s all debate my friend. Right or wrong, the scripture mentioned to Timothy was in direct correlation to the Old Testament, as he had been a young student of that Old Testament narrative. It was a reminder to him of what Jesus had mentioned in one of the Gospels of which the...

    Can a person be a Christ-follower without falling in lock-step with the institutional church?

    Hello @GodsGrace From what I’ve learned it’s faith in Yahavah that makes a person right with God. A church while people may attend is only a in-between where faith is a direct connection.

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    Hello @Behold, That was an encouraging message to Timothy concerning the Old Testament. I don’t believe they had the gospel to pass around just quite yet when that was written. Many people quote that all the time but with some contextual understanding; it applies directly to Timothy and how...

    Can a person be a Christ-follower without falling in lock-step with the institutional church?

    Hello to the reader, I’ve gotten in trouble before in church by the main man who ran it. I’ve also stood up in a church when a pastor says the more you talk about Jesus Christ the more people want to know about him; in objection saying it also makes people want to run away from you: I got up...
