Hi there, So this is unorthodox theology, that Christ somehow reflects Eastern Buddhist theology. "Detachment, enlightenment, the balance of Samsara" are all Buddhist concepts, but Buddha never said "I am these things". Not only did Christ say "I am the way, the truth and the life" He laid down...

Hi there, So this is a simple truth which was discovered by someone, which helps keep our walk in the faith in perspective. The truth is, that when we are conceived, God examines us. We don't immediately have a full grown heart, but God examines what will become our heart. This is something...

Hi there! So Jesus says "I do what I see the Father do" (from memory, the Gospels). But why does He do this? I think it is because when God does something that Jesus is able to do after Him, they both are able to do that thing together. Now this being "together" is important, because there is a...

Hi there, I just wanted to point out how important dreams are: the Christians with the greatest life, will be those with the greatest dream. This is distinct from those Christians who have the greatest change (who have the greatest vision). If dreams were not important, why would God give them...

Hi there, So I wanted to post this thread about God noticing, because it is a short step from "noticing" to asking God about what He notices. In other words, trusting God to notice, leads to a relationship with God. The thing that makes this hard, is that we sin and we stop wanting God to...

Hi there, So I am not saying "abandon prophecy", prophecy must be fulfilled - what I am saying, is that you can not always say "and then... this will happen". Sometimes prophets speak in images and metaphors, but most importantly of all, they point to the Cross. The Cross came before. A prophet...

Hi there, So this is something that confused me for a long time, not in a big way, but in a "wish I knew what that meant" kind of way. That is, "eating Jesus' flesh and drinking His blood". In the same way that being the 'Door' does not make Jesus a frame made of wood, there is a way to...

Hi there, So look, I know that AI is a tool - I get that - but there is a big difference between reading verbal porridge (nutritious but slush) and reading the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is dynamic and charged, its not a style you just put on. Maybe people who have no other...

Hi there! So this is something novel about Creation/Evolution for you. There is a very clear distinction between what Creationists say and what Evolutionists believe: it regards the Sabbath. The Creation account says that God created the world, and then rested on the Sabbath. As a result...

Hi there! So a simple thought: without Love, God is darkness. In other words, when people sin, they say "the darkness made me do it". What they mean is "I refused to let God be God to me, and did what I liked". The darkness then, protects God, since He cannot sin as God, but is absolved of His...

Hi there! I did some searching of where it might say "those who received the mark will be thrown into the lake of fire" and I couldn't find it. In Revelation 14 it says "if you take the mark, you will suffer", but it doesn't set out why. It only says those that take the mark will develop a...

Hi there, So we frequently hear about the return of Jesus, that He comes to rule the Earth (and its nations). There is scripture for this, which is fine (I couldn't tell you which scripture specifically). But there is another return, which doesn't get much attention because it is obscure. The...

Hi there! So there was a thread about praising God for the natural world, and it got bogged down in debate, and it got shut down. So I went and checked if I could open another one, and I was told it was up to me. So here it is! A thread about the natural world and praising God for it! The big...

Hi there, So when I was a rebellious teenager, I turned to evil music. Even though I had faith, I found myself drifting away - because of the struggles my family was going through (finance, divorce, etc.). The evil music stopped me from caring what was happening to my life. Then, instead of...

Hi there, So there is this dilemma I am in, about my relationship to God. I know relationship is important, but if its important, then how you define it is important too, right? So I have this understanding, in my head, that I have my side to the relationship I have with God, and God has His...

Hi there, So yes, if you could just pray a short prayer, for my Mum's nausea, I'm sure that would have a great effect. It started this morning. I rebuke the Devil for confusing my Mum and I plead the Blood of the Lamb over her inner ear, In Jesus' Name Amen. Thanks guys, you really are there...

Hi there! So I wanted to discuss the Cross for a moment. You know that Jesus said "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death" (Matthew 26:38)? Think for a moment with me, why did Jesus say that? It is because our Cross is a burden. In other words, if you are taking up your Cross, you will...

Hi there, So this is something that will certainly enhance your understanding of the Cross, if not sin and temptation. What I want you to do is look at the Cross. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21 "He who knew no sin, became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God". Now...

Hi there, So I have conviction in the Holy Spirit, which is great. However, I am concerned that the message of the Holy Spirit not be lost, as we enter in to the tribulation. Jesus promised the Father would shorten the days, which is great. However, what we need is a stronger conviction. I...

Hi there, So I am just teasing out what the Rapture means. The idea in theology is that the Rapture is an event, that separates those that have it from those that don't. There is some truth to this. But what is actually happening? My understanding is that the Rapture is the birthing of a...
