    Do We Spend Eternity in Heaven?

    Scripture does in fact say we will go on to live with Jesus in heaven. Maybe not directly, but by understanding of the scriptures below. Joh 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is...

    Biblical knowledge - What in the WORLD is it?

    It is important to do as you say. But it is not simple. We must fight the devil's lies and we can't do that without knowledge. The word of God even says to study to show ourselves approved of God. A new convert is considered a babe in Christ and we can compare that to the natural. A baby has to...

    The Children of Israel

    Israel (yiśrâ'êl) yis-raw-ale' From H8280 and H410; he will rule as God; Jisrael, a symbolical name of Jacob; also (typically) of his posterity: - Israel. There is one with the symbolical name (Jacob) and another which is the true Israel (Jesus). The church of today has been deceived into...

    God, Spirit and Truth

    Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. How do you worship in spirit? What is truth? Most Christians have an opinion, what is yours?

    Dropping "Baptist" Or Other Denoms From Church Names?

    I have seen many UPC churches leave and go independent and others remove 'UPC' from their name. Most of these come from changes in standards, that were never required in the New Testament. That being said, doctrine is primarily a big wall that closes the mind to other bible truth. Is it...

    The Palestinians, Israel and the Church's Attitude toward Both

    The church of today has been deceived into believing that the children of Israel today are the children of God. While we can see below that Paul said “the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God”. Christians today still do not understand that the Jews that are living in Israel...

    Resurrection, Past or Future?

    Hello Jacob_Rising There are some, probably most, who agree with you. I can not do so because plainly Jesus said that he had come to fulfill all that had been written. That of course was the fulfillment of Old Testament writtings. Luk 18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto...

    Resurrection, Past or Future?

    God’s word is true and the only way man can speak spiritual truth is to agree with God. One can not disagree with God’s word and still be right with God. Below, Jesus is speaking to the scribes and Pharisees, the religious leaders of their day. The following scriptures would also pretain to...

    Resurrection, Past or Future?

    Dan 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found...

    The lack of knowledge has destroyed us!

    No I don't think these things apply to any Christian who does not agree with me. It does apply to any Christian who does not agree with God's word. One needs to quote scripture to back up their thoughts. You have neglected to do anything except give your opinion. I am not saying you can not have...

    The lack of knowledge has destroyed us!

    This Vail Of Tears, Below are some of the reasons for this thread. Knowledge of God is believing God over man. If one believes man’s view over God's word, then they are the ones that propagate untruths that spread through God’s church and unintentional or not they are trying to destroy the...

    The lack of knowledge has destroyed us!

    I pray that there are many in this forum that are hungry for truth so that they might turn away from the untruth that is being taught by prophecy teachers. If you are one that will take some time, here is a book (pdf file) written in 1888 by D. R. Dungan on how to understand the word of God. He...

    The lack of knowledge has destroyed us!

    Clark, In deed that is true, but let us compare spiritual to the natural. I come into this world as a baby, the first ones I notice in my life are my mom and dad. There are many things that I must learn as I grow or I will not mature. But many people think there is nothing required to be a...

    Biblical knowledge - What in the WORLD is it?

    In the New Testament the word WORLD is used many times. Many people do not understand that there are two different words translated to English as world. êḯóìïò kosmos kos'-mos Probably from the base of G2865; orderly arrangement, that is, decoration; by implication the world (in a wide or...

    It would have been clearer if I had posted this in OP.

    The lack of knowledge has destroyed us!

    Where are the people that can ask, "Is it possible that the devil has prorogated this dispensationalist lie and is it really important?" It is a lie and it is important for the church to stomp it out. Be a vessel that God can shape and search the scriptures to see if these things are true...

    The lack of knowledge has destroyed us!

    Trying to understand the point of the OP. I guess I'm just thick. The point is, Dispensational teaching is not truth because it is not backed up by scripture. What it says, in effect, is Jesus did not do what he came to do 2000 years ago. One can not believe Jesus and still yet believe he...

    The lack of knowledge has destroyed us!

    Hos_4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Does one think that this scripture could not pertain to us...

    Tithing

    When I started going to church my financial life was totally in shambles. I wanted to please God and it seemed the best way, from the pulpit, was to tithe 10% and then give to other church needs. It was like a tax that I could not afford, but was ashamed not to do it. Shame is the way many...

    Tithing

    To everyone, 2Co 9:5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. 2Co 9:6 But this I say, He which...
