Hi there, So this is a thorny problem for me. I have known for some time that Ray Comfort preaches that the sinner needs to be convicted of the Law, before they are offered Salvation. That approach seemed fine to me, for some time, but I never really felt great about approaching people about...

Hi there, So there is an absolute gem of a truth, in the Bible. Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, but by Me" (from memory, John). The reason that this truth is a gem, is that it hits on the notion of relationship, in a way that no other words do. You...

Hi there, So I realised there is a glaring inequality, between government and people of faith: the standard for government is that difference matters, the standard for people of faith, is that difference doesn't matter! Let me explain what I mean. Say you have a transgender person, and you...

Hi there, So every so often I click a link to a thread and a page called "google, vignette" loads with a blank screen and no close button. If I click back and then forward again, the problem goes away (temporarily), but its really annoying. Other times it just takes forever to load the ads...

Hi there, So I feel like this is a simple point to make, but perhaps there is more to it: after the Rapture, comes revivals of the Rapture. This is something even a child (who has come to maturity) could understand. The purpose of the Rapture is not to come and go and never come again. Rather...

Hi there, So I will cut to it: sometimes the ads on this site are just blank? And I can't find the close button? Other times they seem to load forever and I have to reload to refresh the page properly? I thought it would be better to say something, than just ignore it? Thanks. -Gottservant

Hi there, So the book of Revelation, was the first book of the Bible that I ever read (in its entirety) and I have stayed avidly mindful of what I have read there, ever since. But something has dawned on me, over the years (decades now), there really is no accounting, for the mystery of the...

Hi there, So I just wanted to point out a paradigm shift, from thinking about scripture, to retaining it - in your learning and memory. The Bible promises that the Holy Spirit will come to teach us all things and bring all things that Jesus said to remembrance. If the Holy Spirit comes to teach...

Hi there, So there is a pitfall, when it comes to the faith, that if you believe it (the faith), then there will be some concrete way to witness to it. Jesus on the cross, is a constant, so the theory goes, there must be some constant way to witness to Him. That is not so. Why is it not so...

Hi there, So this is just a simple distinction. On the one hand we are created by God. That is true. Indeed we are made in the image of God. Also true. But once created, there is a greater difference to look forward to: being made for the image of Christ. What does that mean? It means that our...

Hi there, So just to be clear, there is almost no time left. The world awaits the coming of the anti-Christ. The Devil is ready to feign worship of the anti-Christ. But there is a problem: no matter how much the Devil worships the anti-Christ, there is no way for him (the Devil) to stop...

Hi there, Ok so, we have this verse, where it looks like God is separating wheat from chaff (Malachi), but actually upon reflection, it is not clear that God is playing favourites, so much as extending a distinction - that brings contrast. The key point of fact, is that God does not say "I...

Hi there, So I wanted to post this thread, mostly for myself (at least to begin with). I frequently have doubts, that I am living the Christian faith and I have concerns about arbitrary acts of faith, that don't have a standard of some kind. One of those standards that I think applies, is how...

Hi there, So it occurs to me that there is a link between being a slave to sin and the pressure we feel to act, under the influence of sin. Basically we become slave to sin, hoping to gain the strength of God without God. In doing so, we discover that we do get some strength, and we can see it...

Hi there, So just a little thing to edify you with: the Devil has limitations. This is meant to encourage you; if you can resist the Devil, even more and more, you can be delivered of the suffering of this world. So what limitations does the Devil have? Primarily, he is impatient. God says in...

Hi there, So as if you needed to know, when you already believe we are called to be in the world but not of the world: the Devil doesn't want you here! The whole problem of original sin, is that we have come into conflict with Creation, when we should have been serving it, under the Mighty...

Hi there, So I wanted to post something about God, that He should mean everything to us - because if He doesn't (mean everything) we are not Christian. But I have a feeling it is against the rules? Can you confirm or deny? Thanks for your time. -Gottservant

Hi there, So I am concerned for lost souls here; there are two types of soul: believing and earthly. For each of these there is a destiny, the believing soul heads to Heaven and the earthly soul tries to stand on Earth. Neither of these things is right or wrong, but as the Lord wills, so is...

Hi there! So this is something that is going to be more and more popular over time: to see Jesus. As our differences are realised for what they are and how we are relating to God based on them, the need to commit to what we think Jesus means, will grow evert stronger too. It won't be a matter...

Hi there, So there is a simple observation to make here: if the Holy Spirit teaches and brings to remembrance, the Devil will refuse to remember or be taught. As a going concern, that will make things quite difficult for the unbeliever and even for the believer, to the extent that they are in...
