Jesus said "The kingdom of God does not come by observation, for it is within" - if Buddhism says meditate until the light of enlightenment is within, isn't it saying basically the same thing? Jesus is basically someone who says "I have stopped chasing my own desire"

The Gospels are full of Christ doing different works. Jesus says "believe in Me because of the works".

So you are saying there is no tribulation at the third coming?

I thought it might encourage people to have kids, even though they are not going to raise them. You seem to think I am suggesting that fixes the problem - I didn't say that. I still think you should work from a perspective of empowerment - telling everybody how much of a problem we have is not...

Hi there, So I can't discuss this in the non-Christian forum, because I am Christian - but I am really curious? If you were dead in your sins and denied there was a 'god', but the Holy Spirit started to work with you, and you started to think "it would be better if I didn't make up my mind or...

I kept thinking about the OP Title and eventually I thought: 'alright! I will reply!' Saying you will be Christian but not believe in the Trinity, is like buying a house and saying "I'm not going to walk along the west wall of the house" even if there is a fence blocking the way, you don't say...

This blessed me, thankyou!

Truth is where the spirit and soul meet. When you say "[someone] doesn't know the truth" you are saying either they don't care about their spirit or they don't understand their soul - which is ridiculous (to some degree). I'm not saying this to admonish anyone, just to point out the bigger...

There is a walkway near the water, near where I live. While my Mum was walking along it, with me, my Mum all of a sudden said "I want to run for a minute" and we ran, not more than a hundred meters. About fifteen seconds after we stopped, someone came running past us in the opposite direction...

Wow! Great news! Jesus has been praying! If Jesus can pray about the time of Jacob's trouble, I think we are going to be ok!!

I have been thinking about Jesus in terms of "Evolution" and what He said when He said "I am the Door". If He says 'He is the Door to the sheepfold' but then the automatic, garage and revolving doors are all invented - has Christ evolved/because the Door has? I mean, what would have happened if...

The point is that over time your praise for God should change as what Christ does for God changes.

I really wasn't going to reply to this thread - a second coming brings all the hate the first coming did, right? - but how could I deny your faith? One is on the ground, the other is in the air - you are so perceptive! What you have to remember is that if you don't know the day or hour of the...

The truth is the world should be excited about being Man under God - Jesus Christ is going to bring the biggest surge in micro-evolution the world has ever seen! The Devil will be exhausted when he sees how much adaptation has come about!

I'm of the mind, that the more eager you are for the Return of Jesus, the more God is able to reward you. I think God sends word of the Return first, because a) He knows people will struggle to be ready, b) He knows people are at their best when they just trust (the Word) and c) the Devil can't...

It's got to the point, where I can look at chocolate at the checkout in a supermarket and it doesn't bother me. How good is God (when you take care of what He's given you, the way you are supposed to!)

Oh ok. I thought it was another prediction about sustainability - you actually mean "no-one has enough resources, without everyone having children"? I know of someone who is 'just taking care of kids, not having them' are they helping or hindering the situation?

Yes, but the gift comes wrapped - you have to work to unpack the gift! "How much more will your Father give the Holy Spirit, to those that ask Him?" (Gospels from memory). I'm talking about getting more of the Holy Spirit, not discussing the Terms and Conditions of allowable Salvation.

I like that idea - thoughts going straight to God - but I take a different approach: thoughts all refracting God's light. I think it pays to extend the interpretation of God's statement about Jacob and Esau: "Jacob I have loved [but perhaps a little too much] and Esau I have hated [with a...

I'm just saying I don't depend on my circumstances. I depend on Jesus. I think maybe what we need is someone who can address this problem. Maybe even a group of people internationally. There was a time when we were destroying the Ozone Layer; but we managed to stop that in time!
