What does the phrase Son of man mean? What does it mean, he led captivity captive? What does it mean, he descended first into the lower parts of thr earth? In the original greek, the word used was Logos Why has no man seen God? Why did God say to Moses: Exodus 33 20 And he said, Thou canst...

Amen to this. Humbling yourself to God is the single most important thing you can do in your life.

I pray that God shows mercy on them and makes His glory manifest through them

Of course other people are real. We can't think of other people like they are objects. The problem with most people is they are all depressed and drugged up on antidepressants. Several ancient cultures believed the same, that God wanders the world in the form of a beggar and gives blessings on...

No need to make a new thread, it's entirely on-topic. Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the...

Jesus suffered for all the sins of mankind and rose from the dead. So we have two takeaways: 1. That sin isn't without consequence, there is at least 1 person who will have to suffer because of it 2. Death is not eternal

This might be one of the universe's great mysteries. Here is another: what happened to Jesus during those 3 days he was dead?

1 Corinthians 15 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death...

Regarding justice, the Bible says: 23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, 24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. The punishment should fit the crime. This is God's word. Is there...

Amen

God once told me to listen to music. Life's not enjoyable if you can't let it play.

This is true about addiction in general. Addiction isn't about feeling good, it's about not feeling bad anymore. Sure, we have urges, but it is not so difficult that we can't resist it when we are in a state of clear conscience. What really drives it is our negative feelings. Your poison is an...

I used to be agnostic, but I believed in the principles of Christianity because I saw how rotten our modern day society was and realized we needed a moral balance. I was honestly a pretty lousy person, but my faith grew and now I have no doubt in Christianity (though I am still a pretty lousy...

Love the music you're posting

I've seen this idea floated around, but I've always seen it being shot down by scripture pretty zealously. The idea that good works are unnecessary negates all that Jesus said. People just want easy answers. Being saved by faith means, you accept the word of Jesus, and put it into action. Not...

I'm thinking it's a cosmic truth. Remember that angels rebelled. What could cause an angel to turn against God? We die and go to heaven, and then what? The spirit world is formless, what kind of wars do they fight without blood or steel? They fight with philosophy. There is some "small truth" an...

The truth is, nobody is as good as Chopin, but there is a willingness to learn in some. The important thing is the willingness to learn. You don't stop learning to play piano after you go to sleep, you wake up, and keep practicing the next day. Nobody can learn Chopin in a single day. 24 And...

There are a lot of things you can think of as some mix of sweet and bitter: self-reflection, the truth, etc. But God doesn't discourage these things, God encourages them. If God seals something away, it's something else. For a similar example of a food analogy: Jeremiah 31:29-30 “In those days...

If you believe in Chopin, does that make you a master pianist? You have to practice every day to play like Chopin. Believing in God is the first step, but it doesn't make you perfect, it just sets your course right.

I'm just going to say, if God sealed away something that makes your stomach bitter, do you really want to know what it is?
