But we can be (and hopefully are) one in a faith that is efficacious to salvation.

But that surely can't mean division between believers/disciples, otherwise it would completely conflict with his prayer to the Father that they might be one, even as we are one. Peace be with you, not as the world gives but .......

Several years back I originated a Christian forum the ethos of which was to allow membership to any person who might conceivably have been accepted into the ‘Body of Christ’ by virtue of efficacious faith in such as God had revealed to him/her. Such was my anxiety to not preclude anyone who God...

@ Stan B I'm heart broken to learn of your 5 years of sorrow .....I just had no idea. I pray with all my heart that God will bring peace and happiness back into your life, just like you used to know.

place your cursor on your name when you log in (top right) scroll down and click on 'preferences' scroll down and make sure there's a tick against " Show people's signatures with their messages" That should do the trick.

No creed but Christ, written on the fleshy tables of my heart by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Thanks Pearl (Pat). God has quiet places for each of us, and those places that have 'worked' for me are no better than those that 'work' for others. In fact what set me thinking along these lines was the strong presence of God that I felt a week or so back as I walked the dog on a beautiful...

Recently I have been thinking much about this. Extrapolation from Romans 1:16-25 (MEEV) “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed...

In the words of the hymn "God holds the key of all unknown and I am glad. If other hands should hold the key., Or if the key were left to me We might be sad"

I'm reticent to say another thing that is negative about forums, but perhaps I'm allowed to quote scriptures. "When you come together there will be divisions among you; and there must be also heresies, that they which are approved may be made manifest. However, if you bite and devour one...

Hi David, Don't worry about it. It's all about understanding that the word 'light' can have various meanings, depending on what's in the heart of whoever uses the word.

I have to thank God for my signature line. I just would never have dreamed that 'the other side of the pond' felt as is apparent from the posts. I might make one heck of an ass of myself if I were to cross 'the pond'.

It's interesting that my writing is considered to be cryptic and not always conveying what I might be trying to say. There was a time, when I worked for a large offshore engineering contractor, that the company's CEO created a new position of 'Pre-Contracts Manager' and gave the job to me, to...

Hi Jay Just out of interest, where can I find the projections to which you refer please.

My jocular reference to my attempt to become the site's owner.:D

Maybe it's because I've been around CB longer than you might think. Back in the days of Hammerstone I used the post as "Way of the Spirit". I even tried to acquire the site when I first noticed that it had been put up for sale only to be told that it had already been sold. You don't realise what...

Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is that if a member want to close their account the only way it can be done is for them to ask, in which case the software only facilitates the closure by means of a 'ban'. I guess this is because, when the site last changed hands, it was acquired on...

You omitted the remainder of what I had posted which clearly precludes either of your two implications. From what I posted the more relevant implications would be that some Christians are bigoted in what they say, and that others may well have seen a degree of light (albeit that none can have...

For many years I had been compiling, modifying, and updating, a journal comprised of my discoveries during my search for "What might have happened to the Faith first delivered to the saints". When I felt that it was near to completion I published it (and still have a few copies). I then...

Interesting that a former slave trader should write a hymn the music to which is played solely on the 'black' keys of a keyboard.
