That's what I get from Jesus' teachings (that people will have different positions in the kingdom). It seems pretty clear to me that he stated that there will be rewards in heaven and different kinds of "levels" if you will (I don't feel that anyone will be like "disappointed" with what they...

I haven't studied the Scriptures to determine what ghosts and stuff like that might be; it was just a hunch I had that seemed to make sense from what I understand from the word. I can't recall what little commentary I've read on that episode with Samuel talked about. I think my pastor's opinion...

In the Old Testament, our Heavenly Father warns us not to engage in sorcery and witchcraft and that sort of thing, and then you have the episode where Saul calls up the ghost of Samuel. I agree with Michaiah-Imla; I feel that these are spirits (I feel mostly demonic ones, but could be angelic...

For the first, I would just pray that the family would come to know the Lord. The second, it is okay to pray without knowing the details. Since it was a sinful practice that the lesbian woman was engaging in, God will not bless their union. He would understand that we may not know the full...

Greetings! We have a few things in common. I'm also interested in commentaries and scholarly research on the Bible (have not read all that many though due to my hectic schedule; just don't have the time). I'm into hiking too and probably do about 10 hours or so a week with my busy schedule. And...

You have some great advice here, Siddhi. Yes, do not worry about denominations; in time I trust our Heavenly Father will lead you to a church of those who love our Lord (as long as it is Christ centered and Bible based, that is all that is important). There are many denominations, but it doesn't...

Hello Siddhi! Welcome! I hope you will find much blessing here. I've been a Christian since 2013, so not for too, too long.

Not really. I don't believe I'll ever feel ready to lose all my comforts in life; but, I will cling to my Lord Jesus while he carries me through the valley of death. There is no hope outside of him alone. Those who trust in the provision of this country are lost and will fall the hardest when it...

Jesus' very clear teaching is that Hell is a real place where there will be torment forever and ever. Some scholars prefer to twist his words and say that he actually meant something else; and then there are some that will attempt to reason it away thereby ignoring the direction of God to trust...

Welcome, Paul. I'm pretty new here myself. Looking forward to speaking with you on here.

Paranoia? Outside of the statement you've bolded, he's just stating the facts. I'm not sure where you're getting consumed with hatred either. He's stating facts that support his argument which seems pretty clear to me. Satan has overrun this country, which I do live in, and I agree with...

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, David. I pray that you will find comfort and mercy from our Heavenly Father and that he will give you peace in your days here in this foreign land. "Wait on the Lord" reminds me of one of my favorite psalms, the 25th. (v5-6) "Make me to know your ways, O Lord...

I'm sorry to hear that. I pray that the Lord will be merciful to you in this situation and bring you into peace again.

Good to hear from you, Tony. I hope you are well too and that you meet with some good fellowship here. I'm not doing too bad, hanging in there and striving to walk with the Lord. Some days are better than others of course.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to spending some time with you guys as well!

Lol. I'd say probably not! : )

That belief is not a valid option anymore (and anyone who holds to it is sorely deluded). The United States has not been a Christian nation for some time now (if it ever really was, though Christian influence in it was very strong at points in its history). I agree with the other posts on here...

I doubt they will agree with God's revelation of himself. From what I can tell of their posts, they adhere to a partial Bible and ignore all the verses like those which were posted (seeming to constantly go back to how God can't be three persons--hung up completely on the truth of the Trinity as...

Well, whatever place it's called, my soul will be united to Jesus my God when I die as my husband's is; my body will rest where it is until the day of resurrection. No one is saying that Jesus is not the Son of God; that is blindingly clear in God's revelation of himself. What we're saying is...

It doesn't matter what you call it, APAK. I call your beliefs lies of the devil and you call mine lies of the devil. That's pretty standard for those who having opposing beliefs. What matters is what the truth is. We'll find that out shortly, won't we. And I'll stand and die on that hill. If...
