Has a believer ever said to you, “You are making your life as a Christian too complex. You have lost the simplicity that is in Christ.” ( 2 Corinthians 11:3) That might be so, to a degree, but what about David’s admonition in Proverbs 1:22, “How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?”...

I have led many JWs to an awakening regarding their doctrinal errors by talking to them. If you are not an academic person, I can understand why you don't see this....David

Hebrews 1 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the...

Christians cannot be demon possessed but as devils walk this earth seeking bodies to inhabit -- normally the people who show evidence of the demon's specialty, such as the unclean and evil spirits of sexual immorality, the lying spirit of accusations and lies, and the spirit of infirmity for...

__________________ How do we have as much or little of Him? Are you saying we must adhere to a method? What is that method? Pray three times a day, give more money, speak in tongues longer, attend church more often, witness every Saturday? How do we get this "more" you write of? Better...

Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

The answer, as I have heard it taught by evangelicals, is found within the doctrine of dispensationalism. We, as some teach, are today living in the Church Age. No longer are the great promises we find in the Old Testament a promise for this period of time. Therefore, we must learn to rightly...

______________________ We differ, although my definitions for the word resurrection, as they are placed rightly, coincide with the Greek translations. There is an out resurrection. Ex=out.

What do they have to write about it, not say. How is one to hear all those voices, search them out? Have they written their beliefs with Scriptural proof somewhere that I can read. In books that would relate to the common Bible student?

_____________________________ There are various thoughts regarding the Bride, and, as I understand, from evangelical circles, it represents the Church. Another interpretation is that the bride is Israel and the “marriage of the Lamb” is the reconciliation of Israel with God which the prophets...

________________________ I understand there are orders. I've known that for most of my life. Do these people write books? And, if so, what do they contain? Anything remotely relative to a Christian's (as opposed to Catholic) foundation of sound doctrine? Where do they admit their centuries...

___________________________ The "Bride of Christ" is one who must purify herself, permit sanctification to take place. She has to make "herself ready," to be perfect. There is preparation for one to be in this group. (Rev. 19:7) You must know, as well as most believers, that many, many who...

_________________________________ There are those, I understand, who believe nothing at all was directed toward the Gentiles until Paul's ministry, that all of the OT and Gospels relate only to the Jews. But I believe ALL scripture is given for doctrine, correction, for reproof, that the man of...

____________________________ As I see it, your perspective is solely on the body of Christ. You don't see a specific group who are to represent the Bride. Revelation 14:4 These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. The Bride will be the firstfruits...

____________________________ A larger list of writers, ones who can be easily found online, would be nice. I want to know what it is they write. Do they have the same vision as a Christian? Are their doctrines sound?

____________________________________ I agree, Grace. It is awfully tempting for some to be taken in by all the pomp and circumstance, ritual, ceremony, liturgy and show that abounds within Catholicism. The wearing of a collar to indicate attainment to the priesthood, as though others outside...

Luke 12:47-48 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him...

We strive in this life to be in that Bride. We will certainly know we are part of the Bride when we are taken, caught up, resurrected first to be with the Lord, which is what Paul meant when he wrote of the "better resurrection".
