    A Spirit of Unbelief

    I disagree, @Taken. Its probably cause I dont understand, and the sermon on the mountain with Jesus expresses that those who are poor in spirit are humble before God and calling out to him. Those who are unbelievers dont do so… they dont have any belief… they have no rest and they dont trust...

    Note: A new scam, "Pig Butchering"....

    One time on facebook, chatted up with this person and they fooled me until they wouldn't video chat on the messenger. That is when the thought came to just block the person and walk away. Dont use facebook anymore, do have instagram, and also have tiktok, however I rarely chat with anyone that I...

    The Spiritual Ladder of a Born-Again Christian

    Matthew 5 After having made it on top of the mountain for the moment it seems that Jesus was alone with his disciples, which he began teaching them. (until the crowds started to show up afterwards) Blessed are those who are poor in Spirit - the first step of the spiritual ladder. Being poor in...

    May the Father in heaven be with you; and may you be encouraged to trust and go to Him, stick to...

    May the Father in heaven be with you; and may you be encouraged to trust and go to Him, stick to the source of life Yeshua, and may you have gratitude in suffering. Love you!

    God tested Abraham - Abram of UR - To sacrifice his Son

    Abram of Ur, was found to be a righteous man. He lived among Chaldeans. Abram is called by Yahava, and told to go from his country (his former life - the old life); and to go to a country, which he would end up getting land, he would leave his people, and his own fathers household. Yahava...

    A Spirit of Unbelief

    Yes there are those who are poor in spirit amd they need encouragement, Taken. But there are also though who have the spirit of unbelief that can start to override the holy spirit if they arent careful and pur the trust in humans or themselves and not God and stop looking at the source of life...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    Yes, I agree also, @Mink57 To do good, just, and fair to one anthor is something only done in abiding in christ. Its just good to have consideration and as you Im guilty of not having any compassion or mercy to others from time to time, its the sin in me. Jesus was only hard on the religious...

    God tested Abraham - Abram of UR - To sacrifice his Son

    Goodbye Jay, all the best to you and yours. Thank you for sharing also with me about Abrham, not seeing the land promised. He was promised land, so i take it as he had hope to see it one day, but he didnt, however the decendants after him did. Those of faith longed to be at home with God and...

    How should we view the Rich Young Ruler?

    Not stupid by no means. No one on here is. There are people who have mental handicaps, and mental health problems; atleast that is where I use to work for, people who had mentaly handicaps; that means even online there are some people with those caps. You speak here with truth and sincerety...

    Did Jesus tell the Pharisees that they were gods? - John 10:34

    Well good on ya. Women are an amazing gift from God. He even gives some peoples wives of understanding and that is a blessing for some men who understand that. I am not offended by women teaching at all; and find it to be a good thing and it reminds me that all in Christ are one together...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Sure it was. They had all the books from Genesis to Malachi. “So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He...

    God tested Abraham - Abram of UR - To sacrifice his Son

    All the best amigo. Love you as a brother in Christ. Everyone must be guided by the spirit and that doesnt mean people have to be harped on; everything in due time and season in kindness in love and in respect. That is what I believe when the time to share is there do so. If someone really wants...

    God tested Abraham - Abram of UR - To sacrifice his Son

    There is rewards that will given out rightly, throughly, and justly to all people from unbelievers to believers. And its all on responsibility to one what they will do. Will they choose to share the word and allow Christ in them to produce the fruit of the spirit and place spirtiual treasures...

    God tested Abraham - Abram of UR - To sacrifice his Son

    Yes, that recalls my mind on something that perhaps is true too. God allows people of faith who believe on the Son of God to do whatever they want to choose to do. Some will choose to go by the flesh, and in Christ, God allows it. However that always comes at a cost. One cost is quenching...

    God tested Abraham - Abram of UR - To sacrifice his Son

    What great Love Abraham showed with belief that his son would be coming back with him, and what Love Yahava showed by send his Son, and what great Love that Jesus showed to his Father and to all the world!

    God tested Abraham - Abram of UR - To sacrifice his Son

    You might be right. Eventually even the israelites made a false god named Molech they sacrficed babies on; it reminds me also of when Jesus came Herod partook in ordering for all the two year olds to be killed; and brings me back to when the Pharoh ordered for all the hebrew boys to be...

    God tested Abraham - Abram of UR - To sacrifice his Son

    Because people willfuly choose what they want to hear, and what they want to see, would be my answer to your question Amigo. Its best to stay near to the source and read that bible and learn whats there.

    God tested Abraham - Abram of UR - To sacrifice his Son

    More from the writer of hebrews on this subject. Hebrews 11: 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed [i]by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    Seek out God, and he will reward you. He will reward you with knowledge, and understanding by means of study and even spiritual matters to understand hard sayings, but remember to think about what you are reading and consider all of what you read, and write down notes what you come across, and...
