    Men's Hearts Failing them for Fear the Sea Waves Roaring!!!

    Davy, My view is somewhat different. I see this occasion of being taken up before the opening of the 7th seal. I see the church still here in Rev 6, where they will be here until the number of those to be beheaded is complete. They have been through tribulation, but they are taken away before...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Nancy, in all fairness, I am not at all sorry for my lousy childhood, and quite frankly, I am grateful for it. Comfort builds apathy, and adversity builds strength and character, and most of all, reliance upon the Creator. The Bible I took with me, was my greatest treasure, which I acquired...

    Pornography Addiction

    All sins are not addictive. It is the practice of sin that makes it addictive.

    GTG said >> It sounds like your wife has gone on to be with God and I am sorry for this but God is helping you even with that. Yeah, He took her 4 years ago, but even in that, God revealed His plan from the outset, every step of the way. A few days before she was diagnosed with cancer, author...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    Nancy and GG, I am reluctant to get into this on the basis of "Honour your father and your mother" but since no one knows who I am, I suppose it is okay to share. I grew up in an abusive family, and like my siblings, I was kicked out of the house as my 16th birthday present, with no assets or...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    I am not suggesting that anyone remain with an abusive drunk, but knowing how sacred God regards His inseparable design of marriage, what is His perfect will? Sometimes honouring His perfect will is not a pleasant task. The Apostle Paul tells us that it is permissible for us to separate from...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    GodsGrace >> My point is: How is my husband sanctified through me? Sanctified has nothing to do with doing God's work. I simply means that he is part of the family of God! The is idea probably conflicts with anything you have ever heard from a pulpit. My approach to Scripture is when it says...

    Pornography Addiction

    What's the big deal about pornography? It's just a spectator sport like watching boxing or wrestling, except it's not as violent. Just because you don't enjoy it, it doesn't mean others don't.

    Men's Hearts Failing them for Fear the Sea Waves Roaring!!!

    Davy, I have no idea what you are talking about. The Bible simply says that the myriad is: “These are the ones who come OUT of the great tribulation" Rev 7:9 This passage is very clear and simple teaching of Scripture, needing nothing to be added or subtracted from it. Tossing around words...

    Sanctify means to be made holy. The word also carries the connotation of being separated onto God.

    Good Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

    Jesus never said that if he did not give away everything he owned, that he would not have eternal life.

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    How could your husband not be saved if you are?? Since husband and wife are an inseparable unity, so even if one spouse is a non-believer, to retain that unity God says: "The unbelieving husband is sanctified [made holy] through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her...

    I did the test. It says I am really boring!

    Pornography Addiction

    Mark, Interesting article, but I would discourage the use of the declaration that pornography and rape are not sex. They are very definitely sexual acts, and to challenge that, would merely a distraction from outset. And I might add another critique. IMO, the moth analogy distracts from the...

    Men's Hearts Failing them for Fear the Sea Waves Roaring!!!

    So . . . your position is that Rev 7 was written by a bunch pre-trib rapture bunch, although Rev 7 is clearly not a pre-trib rapture. Wouldn't want the Bible to interfere with your delusion, which is total nonsense.

    Men's Hearts Failing them for Fear the Sea Waves Roaring!!!

    Rev 7:9 . . . This takes place right after the sealing of the 144,000. A multitude which no man could number, were taken "OUT of the tribulation" right before the 7th seal is opened.

    It is a sin to attract ladies? Of course that is if you are a man.

    woman wearing pants

    VictoryinJesus, I don't know anything about brokenness, but I do understand what it means to be a new creature in Him. Perhaps one of the greatest afflictions this age group experiences is low self-esteem, and that is not what God offers! If there was ever a mission for adults, it would be to...

    Teresa of Avila and Watering the Garden

    GodsGrace, I have never defined myself as Protestant. I would define myself as 'Sola Scriptura', in harmony with Eusebius. While I enjoy reading about the beliefs of the Fathers, my beliefs are based SOLEY upon the canon of Scripture, the concept of "Sola Scriptura" embraced by Eusebius AD 325...

    Davy >> "The fact that they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of The Lamb (Jesus Christ) means they overcame the tribulation through faith in Jesus, NOT by an escape out of it with a rapture. The false Pre-tribulation Rapture school tries to teach that as a rapture when it is...
