"the just shall live by faith" (letters?) Are you saying there is no reason to be just in the afterlife?

Something else worth noting: we are supposed to become sensitive to the difference between Heaven and Hell in this life, so that we can act on faith in the next life #justsaying

There was a certain movie - they call it "torture porn" - that was on at a facility I was at. I started hearing voices, it stressed me so much. As soon as I left the room, the voices were gone. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy! Also, there is a saying I heard, which is quite helpful "If...

Recently, I had to answer the question "are you a Christian?" and it was really hard (but good for me in the end). "Christian how?" "Christian what?" I was asking myself. In the end I just said "yes, yes, yes"!

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...

I feel like posting on a forum can be like casting your bread upon the waters: it's there for a time, people read it and then its gone.

I was going to write a reply, about the Devil being excited and God treating him indifferently, but your answer was even earlier than that! Yes! There was One God and there was no other but He and His Son and the Holy Spirit and Wisdom.

God is prepared to die, as much as He is prepared to kill (selah)

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...

The sooner God gives you foreword of how things will adapt, the sooner you will be able to adapt through those same things (selah)

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...

I am not sure if I like this argument, but you can always say "If monkeys became men, because men were like monkeys; couldn't any species become men, in as much as men are like those species?" It's not a gripping argument, because it leaves a vacuum - you need to point out "wouldn't men become...

I was just reading Titus 3 where it mentions the importance of works in not one, but two places in the same chapter. The Bible does not say "neglect works, now that you have Salvation", but urges "love the work all the more!"

Just curious about your interpretation: how does a tattoo come to "create a painful sore" (as it says in Revelation the "mark" will do)?

No, but God can refuse the ones outside, out of love for peace inside.

Jesus said "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest", that's as close to Buddhist meditation as you need to get (Mark 6:31). The sensible disciple will interpret this to mean "always remember the need to rest, wherever you are in life". Now does "always resting" mean you are...

I prefer to think the difference (in Christ's words) will be not what He says but how. In the beginning Christ was mindful of "what" He was saying, when He returns He will take that as given, and concern Himself with "how" what is given is given (for our sake).

Interestingly, I hit upon the idea that "God is able to give us foreword of the adaptations to come, but not the devolving of one species to become another". I mean this is the idea, right? The Devil says "it doesn't matter what adaptations are coming, I am strong enough to adapt to them...

Is this the representation of Prophecy, Law and Psalms?
