    The angel who proclaims the Gospel

    In Revelations 14:6-7, one of the angels of God proclaims the Gospel in the latter end times: Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice...

    Problems in my faith-relationship with Christ

    I want to sincerely thank you people for helping me. I'm like the man who believed but needed help with his unbelief. And Jesus told him "all things are possible to those who believe." I believe he honors me according to my faith I do have. I may not have as much as some people. But like...

    Problems in my faith-relationship with Christ

    I do in my heart, but my mind can't grasp the reality of it.

    Problems in my faith-relationship with Christ

    I am really having a rough time. When I pray to Jesus, the way I understand the Gospel is that he associated himself with the lost and sick, lame and mute and deaf, the sinful outcasts of society. So I go to him in prayer, but I'm not making the connection. I feel as though I'm trying to...

    What does born again mean?

    To the original question, we've been born again when we place our faith in Jesus Christ for our salvation and confess him Lord of our lives. What does born again imply? We have been created anew, a spiritual creation, born again by God's will, not the will of men (John 1:12-13). We've been...

    For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do...

    This is sin, like Paul talks about in Romans 7. I'm afraid of God's displeasure in me, even though Paul was able to rejoice and say "Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!", I am scared. I do suffer from a mental disorder where it's typical to have false guilt.

    For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do...

    God promises to listen to His children: cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 God promises to forgive His children: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 God loves His...

    God is wrath!

    Ya, righteous indignation belongs to God, you're right. "Leave room for the anger of the Lord, for he says I WILL REPAY."

    God is wrath!

    What I said was God's wrath rests on unbelievers, not his own children. Suffering is relavent to the glory of God. God doesn't get off by someone suffering. We all suffer for the sake of sin in this earth, but God is compassionate the whole way with a sufferer. Wrath, well, none of us would...

    God is wrath!

    Unbelievers have the wrath of God on them, yes. But this is a Christian site and I know my Father in heaven has no wrathful thoughts towards me, even when I sin and mess up.

    God is wrath!

    Jesus hadn't lived yet (in the flesh) to absorb the holy wrath of God in Adam's time. Holy wrath and discipline are two very different things. I go as far to say God disciplines Christians, but there is no condemnation for those who live in Christ. Condemnation is related to wrath and fear of...

    God is wrath!

    Didn't God pour his wrath out on his Son?..... He's reserving the earth for judgment. But all believers can have a wrathless God, a firm and disciplining God though, but a loving unwrathful God. Why? Because all his holy indignation and wrath was poured on Jesus. This is a basic truth of...

    Research on definition of marriage

    This is not a good research topic. I already know the answer is #2. All it will do is cause others to doubt the truth. Please close this post. doug

    Must we abandon feelings?

    It's good to make your acquaintence, Aspen. This forum is pretty nice. It seems like there's a sense of maturity that a former forum didn't have. I gotta figure out my profile a little more! Doug

    Must we abandon feelings?

    What about people with mental disorders, like bipolar, schizophrenia, and personality disorders? There is a mass of society inheriting illnesses that impair, that no exorcist could deal with, because a devil isn't the reason why the person is sick (it's a physical disorder of the brain), or the...

    Must we abandon feelings?

    I've heard it this way by people who say don't put your trust in feelings, which I agree with: the presence of good or bad emotions are neither good nor bad. But what's good is to rejoice in the Lord, which is greater than emotions. Joy is not a feeling but a inner fruit of the Spirit. So is...

    Research on definition of marriage

    I'm doing a research project on the definition of marriage, the way God sees it. Basically I'm collecting historical facts, Scripture, society's trends, and finally discussion on this topic by you. The two basic viewpoints I'm doing research on are these: 1. Marriage is established by a male...

    What can I do to be happy again?

    I have a mental disorder. It hurts me. I suffer from this everyday for 13 years. I have a friend who said she believes I will be healed, that I have been healed, it's a faith journey. I can't put up with it any longer. It brings such confusion. Don't say it's the devil who makes confusion...
