    An Omniscient God Negates Free Will

    FREE WILL If man had free will, then he could freely do anything he wanted. But his actions have consequences. "The wages of sin is death", so we are either slaves to God or slaves to Satan. Does that sound free? If it was truly free, then at death, there would be no judgment, our spirits could...

    Is it a sin to use pharmaceuticals?

    No. A question like that makes me suspect that you are not sure about what sin is. We get an idea of what sin is from the Ten Commandments and beyond that, what God tells us to do and not to do. "Missing the mark" was a phrase used to express what sin is. What mark? The mark of perfection...

    BORN AGAIN, A CHANGE IN BODY NOT IN MIND

    Absolutely, praise Jesus. Here is an in depth teaching on this phrase, " the hour is coming and now is": ["In the synoptics the ministry of Jesus takes place in Galilee, and he is in Jerusalem only for the last week of his life. In According to John his ministry takes place mostly in...

    Have an addiction to McDonald's? You are like me!

    https://images.app.goo.gl/FdeVScSDYn3NW7Qw5 MacDonald's is very unhealthy food. Buy some organic beef, some quality bread and cook your own for 25% of the cost. I like mine medium, little pink and juicy on the inside. Most fast food restautants cook them well done. Home made fries are better...

    You Don’t Have to Change to be a Christian!

    God transforms/ converts a person's soul and spirit. He makes us holy, we can't. We cooperate though. He draws us to Himself, enlightens us to see the sin in our lives and offers a solution. We read His word, are persuaded and believe. The solution to the wages of sin (death), is not something...

    BORN AGAIN, A CHANGE IN BODY NOT IN MIND

    At that time Jesus spoke those words, that statement was true. When he died and rose from the dead, many things changed, Heaven opened and He took those souls who were in Paradise (where Abraham and all the Old Testament faithful saints were) to Heaven. Paul desired to depart and proclaimed, "to...

    BORN AGAIN, A CHANGE IN BODY NOT IN MIND

    Certainly the Word of God has power to transform the heart. Jesus is the Word. He said I am the Way the Truth and the Life ... So though His words are truth, that truth is a person. Aprat from Himbthey are printed words on a page that many have read, memorized but still di not have a...

    BORN AGAIN, A CHANGE IN BODY NOT IN MIND

    .G Our Father is spirit. Jesus has a spirit, the Holy Spirit is distinct from them, since both the Father and the Son sent Him.The Holy Spirit glorifies the Son, dwells in us and teaches us all things. Do you understand what the word dwell means? It means to live in something. We have a spirit...

    BORN AGAIN, A CHANGE IN BODY NOT IN MIND

    Is this another JW teaching? We were dead spiritually, then God drew us to Himself, His word and through a elaborate orchestrated set of events and people who came into our lives, we were persuaded by His WORD and we believed in Christ and the the whole story. This sometimes takes a lifetime to...

    Is heaven according to what we have seen or something not like earth?

    God has created this realm like heaven - except for the sin and imperfection. He prepares us in this reality for something much better but what we are familiar with: trees, water, beauty, flowers, mountains, valleys ... and many mansions. When we get there it won't be something abstract, it will...

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    That's a stretch. Adam wasn't an Israelite, from the seed of Abraham, nor a symbolic candlestick in the Old Temple, one who was under the Law. Moses and Elijah were. They also appeared with Jesus at the Mount Of Transfiguration. Some think Enoch and Elijah will be the Two Witnesses, since they...

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    A theme spoken throughout the Bible in many different ways speaks to the Israelites ( and us) about not conforming to the ways of the world. Also we can see many people that appear harmless, not evil doers per se but not really doing any good either - like the "luke warm" Laodicians that God...

    Why Christian nationalism is pure poison for the U.S.

    Yes, the high level elites on top dictate what the rest of us do on the bottom and they are very conscious of it. It is a " well meaning" Utopian model, an idea that they can solve world hunger, create world peace, harmonize the world so that we all can prosper ... oh but not all, they must...

    Why Christian nationalism is pure poison for the U.S.

    Christians are not glued to our nation. We were proud of her for hundreds of years. In God We Trusted! But we all are citizens of an eternal Heavenly Kingdon - that is our real home. We do want to live life, prosper and pursue happiness while here. We value our freedoms and want government to...

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    That is a stumper. I think the Ents know best. Maybe we should ask the Hobbits to confir with them? The problem with that is it will take quite some time to get an answer.

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    Different amounts of time periods for signs/warnings in the Bible were given. A 7 year warning for catastrophe coming such as a famine was given to Daniel. It's just conjecture, a possibility.

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    That is an interesting thought. Did you know that the Greek for 666 looks like the Arabic phrase, "In the name of Allah"?
