Your whole OP and followed up posts are attacks, with mocking, belittling, a disgraceful and dishonoring spirit, against a fundamental belief in Christianity _ in fact _ our faith in Christ _ our definition of faith _ a gift that God promises _ salvation that exists now _ that we with...

I see you avoided answering any of my questions! Come on, they are straight forward and easy, not essay questions ... just YES OR NO. After claiming this holy life that you pretend to live ( that you assume a huge portion of Christianity does not possess), 1.) the BIG QUESTION IS - how you love...

Here's the real test BIG BOY, your FRUIT THAT YOU DISPLAY IN THE REAL WORLD - NOT ONLINE! We all know you don't reflect Christ in every way and that sometimes you fail! I don't pick up warmth, love, kindness, gentleness, hope, joy, peace, humilty - even faith in your posts, just judgments...

Not for the the born again Christian. You claim "in most cases" as if you put 2.65 billion Christians on trial, examined each and everyone of their lives. You paint a broad brush strokes with off colors. Your judgments are quite distasteful, disrespectful, a dishonor to thise who are...

Either you are a slave to Satan or a slave to God. Our Father adopts us, purifies us, transforms us, guides us and we submit. The whole drawing power: the gospel, the events and people God brought into our lives, by His Word, His grace, changed our minds and persuaded us to submit to His path...

You said it right there. God makes us holy, we don't. Jesus is the Author of our faith. These scriptures are guideposts to keep us in line, to steer us away from danger and we cooperate with His plan. Like signs on the road informs a driver of curves ahead, slow down, pedestrians crossing. We...

That's why this OP puzzles me, you're a Big Boy now, you should know better.

Well, I never had sex with her. And heaven is not Zion. Zion is a mountain I'm Jerusalem where Jesus will return to and rule as King ON EARTH.

It is sad for YOU to think that the SEAL OF GOD can be broken. No party at all. We were chosen, we are the elect, by grace through faith and this is a gift, not by works. No, not at the time of creation. They did not eat of the Tree of Life. However, I think they learned a lesson and lived by...

What do you think "sealed by the Holy Spirit" means? To me, it means it's a done deal. I am in Christ. He transformed me into a new creature. He knows the future and doesn't change His mind. What does faith mean to you? To me, it is a certainty of things unseen and hoped for, specifically...

The origin of Jerusalem, 3000 BC; the origin of Babylon, 2300 BC. Babylon was a city, (later Babel). This city is where all false teachings about God, mysticism, false religions and philosophies, witchcraft and the black arts, astrology, idolatry, basically all the paths that lead away from...

The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth but also convicts us when we sin. I remember a Pastor answering the question, "Why do we still feel guilty at times after being born again?" Because we are ... we still sin occasionly and this grieves the Spirit. So we continously ask for forgiveness...

What a lovely spirit. It is nice to see humility and grace. ... not to say I don't see that in others!

This is true. The non-believer resists and rejects God. Then God slowly lifts the veil of blindness so they can see. They have been filled with pre-conceived notions about God, lies snd doubts; but as God draws them closer with an inner calling and outward calling by the Gospel, their eyes are...

Great intro! This is a crucial teaching. This is Christianity 101. I used to accept this OP version, that Nic was visiting him in secret to avoid conflict from his peers; but lean towards your view. Jesus had thousands of people crowding around him during the day. Nic wanted some one on one...

It's all the work of the Holy Spirit. We can do nothing without God. Just ambassadors, agents we are.

Jesus is the foundation that was built on. "built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone." - Ephesians 2:20 NIV

Peculiar OP. "Apostle" just means a messenger sent by God. We capitalize names but not commissioned jobs. Just like we don't capitalize presidents in this sentence: "Can you list all the presidents of the USA?" In Luke 10:1, the Lord sent out 70 apostles (messengers), two by two to the cities he...

Do you know what that scriptures means? It means to remind people where our struggles lie, the fighting, warring or even arguing against other people are really deeper than the surface. Our real battle is spiritual; we're wrestling with demonic powers, princes of darkness in the spiritual...

Iran and 9 other nations will soon attack Israel? Iran likely has nukes by now. They just need a have dozen. But Israel has hundreds so would they be so foolish? Russia has been their ally and assisted in there nuclear technology for decades. So if Russia has capabilities to temporarily...
