Welcome to the forums, Bernard.

(Wakka;13188) You were eavesdropping on our conversation weren't you .Christians believe in a trinity. In other words... God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. They are all one being, but separate. It's hard to explain because it doesn't make sense. But then again it makes total sense. You'll...

Welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums, Tom. Having differences of opinion and beliefs is one thing, but unfortunately many who call themselves Christians are guilty of rejecting anyone who disagrees with them on anything. The lack of unity in the Body of Christ could be it's downfall if we do not learn to unite...

I find it very interesting that people who don't believe in a rapture are just as close-minded as they accuse those of us who do in being. It's the same "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude that we are accused of having. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the...

Actually, there will be a new heaven and a new earth, Rev. 21:1. The old ones will be destroyed. There are events still to happen.

(Biblical Tetragramaton;12693) You are confusing yourself.An evil spirit being physically "inside us" so to speak, is quite a separate thing from the Holy Spirit being in us and with us. The Holy Spirit isn't in your body, it's In your life. It is with your inmost being as a lasting and faithful...

While I believe we can be plagued from without by an evil spirit, if we are born again then we have the Holy Spirit within us. NO evil spirit can ENTER us with the Holy Spirit in us. They can torment and plague us with sinful thoughts and desires, but ONLY if they get God's permission first...

(kriss;12575) I did not post it for that reason but simply as a teaching tool If I had been trying to prove it to you I would have posted it in the thread we were discussing it in. I just ran across it and thought others might enjoy it. The only thing I enjoy reading about this wicked creature...

There have been many times that the hand of God has protected me. All the close calls I've had in the car, and nearly dying from a bleeding ulcer I didn't know I had. I had lost 4 pints of blood when I decided to go for help. The doctor said I had just made it in time. Had I known that I might...

I've often wished I had that ability, but I don't believe anyone does. However, since we supposedly use no more than 10% of our brain (about 2% for me), what would we be capable of if we could have conscious control of all of it?

I agree that this false teaching should be banned. :bible:

Matt. 16:18 mentions "the gates of hell". Whether that's literal or figurative I don't know. Not everything in the Bible can be taken literally--like the words in Isa. 55:12 that speak of trees clapping their hands. I've never seen trees with hands.:bible:

Because of the way I was raised I am a loner and not a people person. I was always home alone as a child as young as 5 and rarely had friends and got into a lot of mischief because of it. I prefer being alone and don't enjoy anyone's company as much as I do my own. Why? Because I can have the...

Welcome to the Board, Kamaria.

(Wakka;12221) I've decided what I am going to do in my life. I'll be saving those who are lost like Jesus once did. I've already been giving out the commandment coins, and I think I'm ready to witness to other people.I've been following these people, and their website is amazing. I've learned so...

Unfortunately, bad things happen to everyone. Christians lose loved ones, lose jobs, lose their health, sometimes even lose their minds (I'm still looking for mine). Seriously though, none of us have any answers to life's problems except to say that Jesus Christ IS the answer. We have opinions...

(RND;12142) By what standard do we use? By God's standard of course. People will know that we are Christians by our love. If that is missing then how will they know? Also, do we desire God's will in our lives, or are we seeking to please ourselves?

Welcome to the Board, Tim.
