There is no corporate ladder :) Our organisation has many brothers and sisters involved in the work of translating...thats how we've managed to translate the bible into hundreds of languages. Don't be bothered by people who want to see some kind of university degree. I'll tell you a story...

“Jesus said to them, ‘I have done many good works for you to see, works from my Father; for which of these are you stoning me?’ The Jews answered him, ‘We are not stoning you for doing a good work but for blasphemy: you are only a man and you claim to be God’. Jesus answered: ‘Is it not written...

Hi Sword, I don't think being a sinner discounts one from being holy in Gods eyes. We can be both because being 'holy' does not mean being 'perfect' it means being in the service of God. Think about the temple in Isreal. All the utensils and things associated with the temple were deemed...

It seems to me that Jesus clearly had in mind that all his followers would be doing the same work as he commissioned his 12 apostles. They were to go preaching and teaching about Christ and his works and how to follow his teachings. The apostles role was slightly different in that they were...

.Im not sure about that. The separating of the sheep and the goats will occur. And the goats go off into destruction. So I don't believe all are saved. We must be the sort of person who will be saved. We are not all automatically saved just because Jesus gave his life. Not all will...

I heard a really good illustration that drives this point home. The illustration goes like this: Imagine you were inviting a special guest for dinner, and he told you before hand the type of food he really likes. But when you make the meal, you cook foods that he does not like. Will he...

Christianity is very divided. We know that. And a logical person such as yourself knows that they can't all be approved by God. So instead of focusing on what we cannot change, we should focus and what we can change and that is ourselves. Our creator has given us his word the bible to...

In the early days of christianity, they were all preachers. The disciple Stephen for example was executed for preaching. Now he wasn't an apostle, so I think we have examples of disciples who were actively preaching like the apostles.

our whole congregation are active preachers and teachers. And I also engage in the preaching and teaching work on a weekly basis. A group of us are also learning Hindi because we have a lot of Indian immigrants in our area. Besides that i teach my children to live and practice Christianity...

Luke 10:1 says that Jesus sent 70 disciples out to preach. So the 12 apostles were not alone in that commission.

would you eat dinner with two knives? No. When you eat, you use a knife and fork because those two together work.... they compliment each other. Two of the same may not have worked as well

God never ignores someone who speaks from the heart with the right motive and with repentance. Psalms 51:17 says "The sacrifices pleasing to God are a broken spirit, A heart broken and crushed, O God , you will not reject"

Adam and eve had a huge commission to fulfill. They had to do it together with one following the other. If both pulled in different directions the job of filling the earth and subduing it would have been very difficult for them. God wanted them to do it together as 'one' The bible account...

Jesus 12 apostles were instructed to 'teach them to observe all the things I have commanded you' So if an apostle was to teach you what he himself was taught, then you would be doing the same as the apostle. And if the Apostle failed to teach you to observe all the things that he himself was...

My guess is that God wanted the woman to be dependant on the man and to be as close to him as possible. Being taken from Adams own dna, she was his equal. There were only animals available before eve was created and Adam could see that they were not his equals, hence why he felt lonely. So...

Its really a matter of taking all the bible into consideration because some things seem to contradict others. Buts its certainly no contradiction that a christian is assured salvation, but at the same time can loose that salvation. Why? Because its as Matthew 24:13 states, 'He who has...

I would apply all those verse to the faithful and it is absolutely without doubt that God will remain loyal to his promise of salvation to all who do. But there is clearly a lot of warning about what will happen to those who do not remain faithful. Adam was expelled from the Garden of Eden...

I dont think it is the holy spirit which guides people in different directions. It is more likely to be a lack of holy spirit which leads people into different directions.

Yeah good point agreed. When it comes to the bible, it seems to deliberately not state every little fact and my suspicion is that God deliberately had the bible written in such a way so that people would need his spirit to be able to understand it. Jesus said that we must 'keep on asking'...

I agree that the 'elect' or the 'annointed' ones who will rule in heaven with Christ were most certainly always destined to be. God had put that plan into action as soon as Adam and Eve rebelled. But even after someone is called, they can be later rejected as was the case with Judas. We...
