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

    Hello @Bob Estey, How ever you feel about it. I just was curious how you reconcile those things mentioned. How people take the Bible is up to them. I do believe it was written for the benefit of the building up of spiritual faith; though some of the things within it do not apply directly to us.

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Lambano, I don’t think it might look like that; it is what his sufferings was. It would be a reflection of such things even such as being despised and a person full of sorrows. While I believe people can think what it might look like the Bible scripture show what is and Jesus lived the...

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

    Hello @Bob Estey, How do you reconcile scripture that relate to Israel or to certain people groups like people at Rome or at Corinth, or perhaps even those 7 churches in Asia Minor whom were told the Lord was coming soon? If it was written “to” each of us?

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    I don’t see anyone here personally as an enemy, there are many people though who truly go by their feelings, rather than truth.

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Lambano, It would look similar to the way Christ Jesus lived. He hung out with the lowly people, he loved a good party, but he also was reviled, unliked by many all at the same time as post #2, shows concerning the sufferings he did go through, if we suffer with him, we also glory with...

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Ritajanice, I'll be upfront with you and state that this place is not a church. It's just a forum site on the internet, where many different denominations exist within it, from people who believe in the Lord, and from people who don't even know the Lord, and people who follow after what...

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Johann, I try to communicate with others, if you just desire to share things like that by all means sir. I still have both you and ritajanice on ignore. There is a reason for it, and typically it's because of opposition of what is being said, and also the lack of sharing from a maturity...

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Ritajanice, Please reread my feedback on post #13... and consider a different version of the text, you may not know exist... Just as the John states, still stands in the face of what you are saying... 1 John 1:8 If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in...

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Ritajanice, It only matters if a person is making practice of sin. It doesn't stop the body from sinning or messing up. Hope you understand! 1 John 3:9 Berean Text; Anyone having been born of God does not practice sin, because His seed abides in him, and he is not able to continue...

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello Johann, Thank you for sharing. Someone may use those references. I typically just use a Thompson Chain Reference bible, which is a hardback book, and it has a lot of these topics, all sorted out for anyone whom desires to study these things out for themselves. It's much harder to do those...

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Ritajanice, Yes, being born from above. As Jesus speaks to Nicodemus. There is an heart change, as God starts to write on the mind and hearts of those whom are his. While we live in this flesh is bound to make mistakes, to say we have no sin, people on fool themselves. John 3:1-12...

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Skovand, It reminds me of the righteousness which we are clothed in by the Lord Jesus. Galatians 3:27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. He becomes our righteousness in and through him just like new clothes, and it's God...

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Johann, Sir, that is off topic. I am speaking in general of peoples attitudes. I have been prideful and arrogant, but using the ignore feature is there for a purpose. Sometimes I do still become prideful or arrogant, it is my flesh. Nothing of the spirit.

    PHOTO THREAD.

    Hello @Debp, Snow is something that is beautiful. It must be all the white, and how the background is completely changed from the green landscape. It reminds me of isolation, yet purity, seemingly the righteousness of the Lord Yeshua, and how he wraps us in his righteousness which he does work...

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    From what the bible speaks concerning the sufferings of the Lord Yeshua, is he was a man of sorrows, despised, mocked, endured humiliation, and reviled. Unto the point of death. These are just a few, of a good (30?) verses concerning what the sufferings of Christ was like. Am I saying that you...

    Israel

    Hello @Carl Emerson, Jesus stated people would worship the Father in spirit and truth though. A Samaritan Woman Meets Her Messiah I love all of you people on this forum site, but I cannot just take peoples' word for it. Jesus himself stated in verse 21 to the woman, "Believe me, the hour is...

    God begets God?

    How is Jesus, named Emmanuel "God with us?" Because the Word of God was within that body of flesh, helped by the holy spirit of God. Though Jesus was tempted in all ways, and Yahavah was not tempted by sin, the Holy spirit helped hold Jesus flesh back, and the Word of God, was show to be true.
