i agree it exists What sort of place is it then? How would you describe it?

Hi Veteran, I cant say I agree that Jesus claimed to be God. In fact he said "Do you want to kill me because I said I am Gods Son?" But with regard to the 'I Am' verse in John 8, its true that many translations use the expression “I Am” at both John 8:58 and Exodus 3:14 where God...

it was a few different things that convinced me that the bible was the word of God... someone showed me several prophecies, and then I looked closely at the bible chronology for the end of the gentile times and became absolutely convinced that something higher was at work. still am. :)

do you read all the bible literally? And in terms of Gods mercy and love, is not eternal pain and suffering a contradiction?

i thought it was interesting that you asked the question "What are the right requirements to be ordained?" I wonder if you have also asked the question "WHO determines what those requirements are?" The church really has no say in it. God has already stated the rules and it is he alone who...

I find, then, this law in my case: that when I wish to do what is right, what is bad is present with me. 22 I really delight in the law of God according to the man I am within, 23 but I behold in my members another law warring against the law of my mind and leading me captive to sin’s law Now...

the hebrew scriptures are great because they give us the history of Gods people before the Messiah arrived. But as you want to become a christian, the best place to start is with the life of Jesus. Read the 4 gospel accounts in the NT first.. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

the simple answer to why there are so many denomination is because the church is divided. Jesus apostles left us the instructions on how to be found approved by God, but sadly not all follow those instructions. Many will be disappointed when God chastises those who have not paid attention to...
