but do those rulers serve God and do his bidding? There is only one ruler i can think of who does Gods bidding...Jesus Christ All other authorities exist only because God allows them to exist... but they certainly wont exist forever because will come the day soon when God will forcibly...

thats great, keep working at it. The book of Job is an important book for all mankind. It really teaches us that God is not the one who brings calamity on mankind. Have you ever heard a preacher say things like "God must be punishing you for being bad and that is why he made that big earthquake...

well thats good, you sound pretty normal to me :) I think reading the bible is really good place to start. Get in the habit of reading it reguarly so that you can bring the thoughts of God into the forefront of your mind. Read the proverbs...they are full of Gods wisdom and understanding...

self control is a quality of Gods holy spirit. Galatians 5:22 On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 mildness, self-control of course all these qualities are not handed to us on a platter... we have to work hard to...

dont all christians receive holy spirit at their baptism? Or does holy spirit only go to certain christians?

this whole earth and all that are in it also belong to God, yet we read in the scriptures that the 'whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one' therefore, until such time as God steps in and removes satan entirely, every day that he exists is his day there is absolutely no point in...

all saints day does not honor God though...it is in honor of the saints. the fact is that there is nothing scriptural in honoring any particular group of men because Jesus told his disciples that they must all become 'one' ... they were all equal and in the first century church, the apostles...

where in the bible are christians told to celebrate Oct 31 as a day for the saints???

yes, unfortunately christians have been led by a church which has be leading them down the wrong path and because they dont question them, they blindly follow. But God has made his word available to them all, we can get his word in every language on earth today so there is no reason for...

Jesus spoke about peace and he said that he would give it to us: John 14:27 I leave YOU peace, I give YOU my peace. I do not give it to YOU the way that the world gives it. Do not let YOUR hearts be troubled nor let them shrink for fear What was the peace that Jesus gave his disciples and and...

your smoking just may be a barrier to your prayers and perhaps that is why you dont feel peace when you pray. God has some expectations of us and we need to meet those expectations for him to hear us and help us. For example Paul tells us at Romans 12:1-2 Consequently I entreat YOU by the...

i was a smoke for many years and quit, so i can speak from experience on this one. to quit smoking, you need to understand why you do it. smokers are not only addicted to the nicotine, but they have formed a 'habit' of smoking and that habit can be just as powerful as nicotine to break. So...

desires develop like plants....they start small, and as they are fed/watered, they grow larger. To stop desires from growing you have to literally starve them of their water source. That may seem hard at first because the desire will push you to go to the water source... but if you fight...

the NT is non political, thats why it is quiet on the subject of the death penalty. Christians are not litigators or executioners, they were not told to be involved in politics or law enforcement because they were told to be ministers of God... all of them. and christians are not to interfere...

things will always get in your way because the 'whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one' as 1John 5:19 says. the easiest way to be a christian, i believe, is to detach yourself from the world and things in the world. The reason is as it says at 1John 2:15 Do not be loving either...

christians were not told to put an end to pagan celebrations by taking those holidays and celebrating them as their own that is fools gold. christianity should have no part in pagan celebrations at all...christians are not to be a part of the world. Do you really want to dance with the devil?

im only going to comment on this one point... it wasnt 'physical isreal' that would be used to bring salvation to all mankind... it was only the Messiah. It was the Messiah who would give his life as a ransom in exchange for all... not the nation of Isreal. Galatians 3:16 Now the promises...

Im going to give you my take on Pauls words and I dont mean to contradict you, but I really cant see how you read this to mean that the bondwomen still has an inheritence with the heir Isaac. "Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. Paul is saying that the newly found...

im sorry, im mistaken on that

'to make holy' is not what it originally meant the word 'hell' is a derivative of 'hallow' im not sure who came up with the idea that it 'mocks' satan... i dont believe thats the case at all Halloween is the celebration of the Celtic festival of Samhain...it was the time when the veil...
