    Trying to quit smoking

    Hello Fluffy, It is good to see you and know that God is still drawing you to Himself. I too, have to watch that I do not stand up too quickly even, from a chair, because when I do I can get light headed because my blood pressure cannot keep up with with the increase blood pressure needed to...

    The Gospel not by the revelation of Jesus Christ but after the man of sin.

    I had a chuckle at this sentence. Did you really mean to say what you said.

    The Gospel not by the revelation of Jesus Christ but after the man of sin.

    Jim when you address the written post rather than belittle the person, I may begin to take your comments seriously. Sadly, you speak a very different dialect, called "American English," whereas I speak with an "Australian" dialect. The difference in our respective English dialects, often means...

    The Gospel not by the revelation of Jesus Christ but after the man of sin.

    No, I thought that was only your domain.

    The Gospel not by the revelation of Jesus Christ but after the man of sin.

    Personally, I do not know what chip to address with you in responding to your above post

    The Gospel not by the revelation of Jesus Christ but after the man of sin.

    Because it was the "Bible" that they read the most and was universally known. However, let us consider the context of what Paul wrote in say Romans 11:25-26 and what is now the common contextual understanding being written into our translations. The difference is deafening. Paul wrote that...

    The difference in churches

    Yes, a thick layer of paint, can hide the structural flaws and rot, within the difference in and between the churches.

    The Gospel not by the revelation of Jesus Christ but after the man of sin.

    While I agree that translators do their best to convey the context of the source documents from either Hebrew or Greek into English, they do not always convey the contextual accuracy from the source documents into the English Translations. Even the 70 scholars that created the LXX Greek text...

    Are wedding rings sacramentals?

    Could it be that the couple ask their partner to get a tattoo ring on their "wedding ring finger" so that they cannot simply remove their respective gold or platinum wedding ring from their finger if they have a desire to stray? One could argue that a tattooed "wedding" ring on their wedding...

    for me

    @My Dreams, No I do not pray that God will give you this or that "whim." However, I do pray that God will draw you and your extended family into His loving embrace, such that you will always know His presence in all of your lives, no matter what the circumstances may be, and that you will all...

    The Gospel not by the revelation of Jesus Christ but after the man of sin.

    All of our "English" translations are fallible, whether the KJV or the KJAV or the NKJV or the ESV or the NIV all have errors in them contextually when compared with the source texts from which they were translated. Whatever translation of the source texts that we chose to read, that...

    Is intimacy important in a Christian marriage?

    Hello I am intimate with my wife all of the time, because being intimate with my wife is much bigger than just being intimate sexually. The hardest part is learning what intimacy really means in all of its expressions.

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    If I need to get faith based inking to remind me of God's promises and my special relationship with God in His eyes, then God's promises have not moved from my mind to my heart, where God tells us that he will put His statutes for us to know. A visible faith based inking does not necessarily...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Many point to poor translations that claim that God's promise is to return Israel to their land in 1948, but the only prophecy I know of where God said that some of Abraham's descendants will return to the land of Canaan, where Abraham was living at that time, would occur in the fourth Age of...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Yep. Did go back and followed the link. However, IMHO, base on Scripture, 1948 was not the restoration of Israel to God as many believe that it occurred in 1948. Israel still has not repented of their continual Idolatrous sins that have occurred, on and off, since the time of Isaac's birth...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Perhaps if you provide the link, others may be able to to consider this as well, otherwise it is a power game where you say you have the knowledge but will not provide the knowledge to anyone else. More information and/or links are required. Shalom

    The difference in churches

    Those in leadership of the "Church" do so at the whim of the "church members" not because of their "holiness" but because they, like politicians, are likeable and can often tell a good story. Unless they walk and talk with God/Christ, they really have no authority in His assembly, and they are...

    The difference in churches

    What a lot of sloppy brown fertilizer? Today, episcopal authority is claimed through the gaining of a piece of paper that tells us that the person is programmable and has learned to recite that which he has been taught. The higher the piece of paper is, in the pecking order, the higher is that...

    Prayer for peace in the world

    Pray that God will draw all of mankind to Himself. As a result of being drawn to God, that the following scripture will come into play: - "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and...
