    Making the case for organized religion

    Hermeneutics - the study of the principles of interpretation concerning the books of the Bible. Without first understanding hermeneutics, one will never be able to understand the bible as it is intended for us to do. We shouldn’t have to go to Bible College to get taught the basics of how to...

    The Word is Truth to All That Believe

    1Co 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 1Co 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 1Co 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a...

    The Word is Truth to All That Believe

    justaname, You seem very sincere, so let me dig a little deeper for you. First, I would like to make a point. God deals with his people, first spiritually with Adam, then through his prophets during the age of law. Then Jesus came to his own, the Jews, and his own received him not. There were...

    Making the case for organized religion

    You report good works of denominations. When God called me I was already 46 years old. I realized from the start that I was just a baby in Christ and needed to learn a lot. At first there was a lot of good bible teachings, but later it only came from the pulpit. When my son asked be a question...

    Making the case for organized religion

    The topic was about Organized Churches. To me that means Denominational, and that means to put an end to any discussions about scripture, because the Denomination has a doctrine that has been written that implies their church is the only one who is right when it comes to understanding scripture...

    The Word is Truth to All That Believe

    Justaname, Col 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; We need to have spiritual understanding. Dan 2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron...

    The Word is Truth to All That Believe

    The word is truth, but to the non-believer most of it will be an untruth. If they believed they would be a Christian. There are even Christians that will not believe all that is written, but that has to do more with gaining maturity than anything else.

    The world is doomed.... So now what?

    Prophecys are like parables, it is not for everyone to understand. But when there are Christians that teach prophecys that have been interpreted by non-christians then the word of God becomes one of errors. It makes Jesus a false prophet. How is that? Because one has to change the meaning of...

    The Word is Truth to All That Believe

    Angelina, Now we appear to be in agreement, that 'all' of the old has been fulfilled. When you study see if any prophecy has been given to the churches of today. Galatians 4 and Hebrews 9 - Came to redeem those under the law (Jews). We agree, this would be at the resurrection. We only have a...

    The Word is Truth to All That Believe

    I am not trying to post topics that fit a certain group. I am trying to rightly divide the Word of truth. You skipped over my point that Jesus, one who can not lie, told his disciples he had come to fulfill "ALL" that had been written about him. If he did not do that he was a false Messiah...

    Jesus said "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth"

    The prophecy in the book of Revelation is about the end of time, the same as written in Daniel's prophecy.

    The Word is Truth to All That Believe

    Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. To come to a more complete understanding one must read and...

    Water, Spirit and Blood, These three agree in one?

    1Jn 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1Jn 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. There is only one God but there are three...

    Jesus said "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth"

    Popular or not it is the only one that is backed by scripture. Most of today's prophecy teachers go to the book of Revelation and relate it to our generation or future. Trying to list the 'beast' to today's leaders. They haven't done it in the past and they can't do it today. Why? Because the...

    The kingdom of heaven where is it and how do you get there

    There is water and there is living water (Holy Ghost). There is more than one scripture that mentions water as well as Spirit. Act 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy...

    Jesus said "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth"

    Yes, the wrath of God has already happened. Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. God's kingdom is within us. Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of...

    Jesus said "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth"

    Let us look at scripture pertaining to the word ‘sleep’: 2Sa 7:4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying, 2Sa 7:5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? 2Sa 7:12 And when thy days be...

    Daniel 12: 11

    Hi Guy, What you have spoke about is not your ideas, it is what we have been taught for years by others, and it is wrong. Please hear me out. 1. Why do Christians think the tribulation is for us? 2. Name one book in the New Testament addressed to us? a. The Old Testament was...

    What is wrong with the American Church today?

    Wormwood, What you say is true and I will just try to add a bit more. In the early 1900’s in America, there was a great outpouring of the Holy Ghost. My understanding it started at a Christian College where students were given a project to find the plan of salvation the Apostles taught. They...

    Water or Spirit, Why do we not believe him?

    Below are several scriptures clearly stating baptism in water. The first one presented is one we should answer for ourselves. Mat 21:25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why...
