    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    Could the spirit of Ha'Satan still exist and carry on to some extent now today? Sure, the spirit of Ha'Satan would involve being accusative, lying, trickery, I do believe that human beings can express the spirit of Ha'Satan to some extent or another that comes by and through the darkness, though...

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    That is good thing to notice, Deborah. Even after Judas did what he did, I believe he felt a tremendous amount of guilt, and therefore went to kill himself off. There is a great warning in that indeed. It's also for the people who teeter on the fence of where one desires to be, either with...

    does god support police , doctors , judges , lawyers

    Why wouldn't God still love police, doctors, judges, and lawyers? They all have their place in this world, they are all jobs people can do to make money, and sometimes help in the process of saving lives. Are there bad police, doctors, judges, and lawyers. Yes, some do things for good, and some...

    The Rapture is not Biblical!

    @Taken, It's more of simply a taking up, and it did happen when Jesus came for his bride. Atleast in my opinion, anyway. I do not except a future rapture of people rising to the sky to meet the Lord, except only in death now today because it was a one time event for them then, however upon...

    Why do alot of Christian denominations have a problem with looking into the Past for the return of Christ?

    I dont know what you are going on about... @Ronald David Bruno. Have I said that there is nothing to do for God anymore or something? There is always hope in loving God, and allowing God to work in and through you will you are here today. Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both...

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    Study Revelation, it seems you have contention with anyone who believes differently than you. Which is fine if you believe Satan is still around today. I do not, I can't help what other people believe, I just trust Yeshua and his Father for their promises of getting rid of the devil. Studying...

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    Luke 6:37 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. If people are interested in God's word they will take up a bible and look in to it. If not, then that is their own choice isnt it? God can work on people by the...

    Faith is to do good, not just believe we are saved

    You are always welcome to put me on ignore if you would like to Ghada. It's understandable my presence annoys you, I will go ahead and walk away. Just wanted to encourage behold, in that he is right about us learning about knowing we have eternal life by coming to the Lord Yeshua.

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    Satan is not around today, due to the Bible proclaiming that he is done away. Just remember that darkness does remain and all us have a choie to partake of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, or partake of the tree of life, (death, burial, and resurrection.) If you believe Satan is...

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    It's an illegal action, to only submit one group of sinners, compared to the rest of the majority. Thankfully Yeshua has paid the price of all sin for all mankind, even homosexuals. Now whether or not in their life they look to God and love God and love others, who could say, but really Yahava...

    Faith is to do good, not just believe we are saved

    That is a great thing for someone to have faith, hope, assurance of everlasting life, and desire to love God and love others. It's amazing that while one does becomes delivered from a spiritually deaden state, to a spiritually made alive state it is by God's grace they saved, the moment that...

    Faith is to do good, not just believe we are saved

    Hello, Salvation is deliverance. There are some passages in scripture that are a bit ambiguous. People become delivered from their once spiritual dead state into being made spiritually alive. Paul wrote to those in Ephesus in that day, saying Eph 2:1 Once you were dead because of your...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    It seems Yahava, has a dedicated group of people who buckle down and try to get people help who do these things, praise be to Him! There are those out there who do turn their lives around, amen. Even if the help is found in Jail, or perhaps in the afterlife even.

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    IF anyone tells you it is okay to go ahead and have another wife, or talk their husband into have another man in a marriage, be weary! Be cautious! My advice, is get away from that type of thinking. Sexual choices, really effect the whole of the body according to Paul. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Sex is a great and wonderful thing that God created. When two people have sex they become one flesh and become married, to that one person. Not many people realize this, they believe they need to go to church and have a priest ordained it. I wish I knew that when I was younger... I probably...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    There are people out there who think it is okay to have sex with children. That is not right, ... there are many people falling into the line because of the people in the old testament doing polygamy that it is okay for them to do today. In the end I believe it hurts people, and really makes a...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Im just asking is it really loving to have sex with one wife, and have sex with the other. That is the overall question. Does God approve of this? or did God make a template in the Garden, one man and one wife. That is all I am looking to be found in being answered @JohnDB. Man can say a lot...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Maybe I'll look into it, I wish you were more on spot about your knowing for sure cause it just leaves it up in the air, either you are right or your wrong, but if God wanted people to be in polygamy, perhaps he would have made an extra female rather than just eve. Yahava got upset with his...

    Does the "husband of one wife" requirement mean that polygamy was common in the early church?

    Perhaps they are hired workers, Steven. You bring up a good point about slaves, Paul talks about becoming slaves to righteouseness. Romans 6:15-23 New International Version Slaves to Righteousness 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! 16...
