I agree with the emphasis that salvation is by grace through Christ and not by works of the law, which is clearly taught in Scripture (Eph. 2:8–9). The Law does expose sin and cannot justify us. Where I think this has gone off track is in saying the law is simply “against” believers or no longer...

@dmdar, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. I’ll be praying for peace of mind, stability, and for God’s help with both your health and the situation with your license. I also really encourage you to reach out to your doctor or mental health team as soon as possible, especially since...

@newnature, This is a powerful reflection on Luke 15 and the heart of the Father. I agree the passage exposes how easily both rebellion and religious pride can miss the Father Himself. One thing I would consider is whether you are blending the parable with atonement language in a way Jesus...

Thank you, brother @WalterandDebbie. Bless your heart! RHS

I understand what you’re all getting at in terms of manipulation, control, deception, and idolatry being forms of rebellion against God. One thing I try to be careful with is how we define “witchcraft” and how far we extend that term. In Scripture, witchcraft is clearly associated with...

@Seeding Loving welcome to the forum. What I would be mindful of is distinguishing between what Scripture explicitly tells us and what we may infer from the historical circumstances. The Bible itself does not say that details of Jesus' childhood were withheld because of fear or secrecy...

Father, We come before You on behalf of this sister. We ask for mercy, stabilize her kidneys, and restore their function. Please restore her blood and strengthen her oxygen levels. Provide what she needs quickly, including safe and effective treatment and transfusion if required. We ask You to...

8-18 sounds balmy to me. :doldrums: Perfect weather for a stroll. I am about 4 hours up from Gizzy. It's a beautiful place, but it's beautiful across both islands. I live in an area with lots of hiking and gorges, mountainous ranges, waterfalls, rivers, and camping spots. Not far from the mandel...

Hey @markalan, does it ever get cold in Perth? It's winter in NZ too. I am going to go have a mocha on my back porch. It's been raining here mostly. :coff

@Brakelite, I appreciate the clarification and I agree that Christ continues His ministry as our High Priest and Mediator in heaven. My statement was specifically referring to the sacrificial aspect of the atonement. When Jesus said, "It is finished" (John 19:30), I understand Him to mean that...

I am off to the Aglow meeting this morning. It's raining here, but it does not stop the Holy Spirit from doing his mighty work in us. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. :Thumbsup:

These are not baby Christians who are arguing on this thread. I shouldn't have to monitor anyone. They know better than that. It's for prayer, not debate. :clmSmlx

@Debp I removed that one and will bring it back in ASAP.

Father, thank You for the opportunity to have a forum like this where we can share Your love with others and open doors to true friendships and relationships with believers and non-believers alike. I know there may come a time when places like this become limited or even no longer exist. While...

Got it back @Debp
