    Name a really bad doctrine that needs retiring

    There is a doctrine in most churches that Jesus is not the Messiah. Why is that? Because it denies the fact that Jesus said he came to fulfill all prophecy - Luk 18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the...

    Cutting Matt.28:19, "name" in truth meaning?

    Praise the Lord Randor, Very important step in receiving the Holy Ghost. I assume that you have also received the 'Gift', right?

    Cutting Matt.28:19, "name" in truth meaning?

    Joh 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Jesus came in his father’s name. His father’s name would be Jesus. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall...

    So When We Pass On, Do We Immediately Awake, or Sleep?

    I can't recall any funeral that the speaker didn't point out that the one who had passed away was now in the presence of the Lord. If they were Christian, that would be correct. Now I ask all, how is it one can believe the above and yet not believe the rapture has already taken place? 1Th_4:16...

    Tithing

    Randor, If you want to give 10%, then do it and be blessed, but don't try to tell others that we are still under law. Gal_3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book...

    Tithing

    Randor, Tithing was required under the law. The law has passed away. Jesus spoke of tithing when speaking to the Jews, who of course at that time were still under law. In the letters to the churches tithing is only mentioned when writing to the Hebrews, who were Jews. Heb 7:5 And verily they...

    The Trinity

    brakelite, I am a son. I am a husband. I am a father. In each function above, I do things in one that I do not do in the others. I am a person who has different functions. God is our father as our creator. God is the son who walked among us in a human body. God lives in us as the Holy...

    US will likely become involved again in Iraq War

    newlife, I feel sorry for the "good" people of Iraq. But, from what I read, we would have left a contingent of troops there if they had not required our soldiers to be subject to their laws. We have laws that would have protected them, no need to put more pressure on our troops. We spent...

    home group meetings, not one-man shows

    Rocky Wiley, on 11 Jun 2014 - 04:08 AM, said: hopeinGod, Maybe I wasn't clear in my points, the bible was not written to us, but yes it was written for us. There is a difference.

    home group meetings, not one-man shows

    hopeinGod, Totally agree with you. People will believe that there was, once upon a time, false churches. What they don’t understand is the church that many of them go to today, most likely, came out of those false churches and many of of those brought along the errors in teachings that we...

    Important to Understand God's Word

    Old Jack, Jesus was the Jewish Messiah and it was them he came to save. Even if there were others in the multitude besides Jews, he was not speaking to them, Jesus was speaking to his chosen people. None of them were considered Christians. Act 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him...

    Important to Understand God's Word

    Old Jack, I will respond to some of the questions that you have brought up. 1. What is Matthew 13:3-48 speaking about? Well Jesus is speaking to his disciples and the Jews that have gathered and it was about the kingdom of God. Mat 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because...

    Important to Understand God's Word

    I think I have pretty much said the same, Old Jack. Thank you for your thoughts. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Our salvation is a gift from God. Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. God...

    Important to Understand God's Word

    This OP is to try and get my brothers and sisters to stop thinking in the natural when reading the bible. The word of God says the first man Adam was natural but Jesus is Spiritual. Most Christians still think like Adam, in the natural, but to understand what Jesus is saying we must look on the...

    The irreconcilable issue...

    This has to do with understanding God's word. I have posted a more complete response at http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/20226-important-to-understand-gods-word/ The above response to Arnie will answer your question also. In Christian love!

    Important to Understand God's Word

    This is the first and foremost important thing to do in order to understand God's word. Think spiritually! For quick understanding, read the bold print. For increased understanding, read all. God’s kingdom is spiritual and flesh and blood will not enter into that kingdom. The natural man can...

    The irreconcilable issue...

    Purity, I did not say we would sleep, for that is what those of faith did before Jesus freed us from death. At the resurrection of the faithful Jews in 70AD, no one sleeps awaiting another resurrection, they either go to heaven or the grave. Our redemption comes when we are born again. Dan...

    The irreconcilable issue...

    Arnie, That is not correct. Those that are born again will never die. Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: Joh 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

    Are there any Born again Christians In Here?

    I love Jesus! When God begin dealing with me, I read through the bible first. Then my wife and I found a church to go to. But before the church attendance, I found myself singing “To know him is to love him” http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/amywinehouse/toknowhimistolovehim.html (didn’t know...

    Couple of Things FYI

    Who are Gentiles according to the Bible? Did you know that the Hebrew word "goyim", usually translated as "gentiles", is frequently applied to the Israelite nation in the Bible? In the churches of God there is very often a distinction made between "Israelites" on the one hand, and "Gentiles"...
