    Even at the end: Churches gonna be hot, churches gonna be cold - some will predict it, some not?

    Here's a thought: churches are going to be hot in Heaven or cold in Heaven. I bet you didn't think there would be places in Heaven you would want to go, did you!

    I stopped striving with people in the world, now I am spiritually starving (to get what God wants for me - prayer?)

    Hi there, So for a long time I have been striving with the people of the world, wanting favour, wanting fame. Ostensibly, I wanted the attention for the truth, but that was really a cover for my own ego. Realistically I was going to grab all the attention, whatever the truth was. I don't think...

    If Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), how can we be sure we're not following someone who appears “biblical” but is ac

    Be warned: the Devil can even pretend to be "happy" with his false light. You might think "he's happy - maybe it's true light": watch out!

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    There is a sense in which different species can share similar adaptations. That affinity is empowering. The idea that species can morph into one another, is against this empowering (it is therefore against survival).

    If I am "commanded" to love you (brother/sister), what is it you think my love is commanded to be? (dreaming?)

    I re-read the scripture concerning loving the brethren, it specifically says "as I have loved you (love one another)" How do you think Jesus has loved me? How will that affect how I love you?

    Churches weigh in on actual belief in creation and Genesis

    The question is: would you hand them over to the Devil for their lack of faith? (really?)

    Say a quick prayer: I'm being asked to consider moving out (and I don't want to), and I am struggling with scammers

    Thanks for your prayers, guys! The moving thing is a real problem (unless I get work) there is only one suburb in the whole city that has affordable rent. I just need my landlord to pump the brakes for a year and give me a chance to get work. I keep thinking of the parable Jesus told of the...

    Working At A Casino

    This is old, but I think there are two things worth pointing out: one, "better a cowardly dog, than a dead lion" (in other words, be grateful you have a job, even if it is casino work); two, if you are paying tithes, then you are doing good (no matter what the circumstances suggest). Maybe on...

    Looking for Bible verse suggestions

    I like @Lambano s suggestion: "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do" (that covers everything)

    Catholics: What does it mean to pray to Mary?

    Mary said by the Spirit that she would be called "blessed". Mary did not say people should call her "tested" (or put her to the test!)

    Can a tare become saved?

    If a tare can die, a tare can be saved. It is not the being a tare, which is an obstacle to God, but the relationship to Him that tare cultivates.

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    There is an interesting dynamic when dealing with Evolutionists: at times I hate them and at times I love them. I never seem to make so much progress that it is only one way and not the other. Now, I don't know if this points to something spiritual, but in the Lord, you would expect the Lord to...

    Say a quick prayer: I'm being asked to consider moving out (and I don't want to), and I am struggling with scammers

    Thanks guys. I've been told the scammers can't reach me, so I should be fine. Be on guard, they can get your data from anywhere! Praying the Church doesn't get scammed!

    The Great White Throne is within you (look inside?)

    I contend that when John realised this, he was looking within. Jesus said "People will not say 'it is there' or 'it is here', for the kingdom is within you" (from memory Luke 17:21) If the kingdom is within you, how is the Great White Throne not?

    He was made sin for us, yes, but how hard will it be: for Him to return to being without sin? (sinning?)

    Hi there, So I had a simple thought: how hard will it be, for Jesus to return to being without sin? The concept is, becoming sin went in one direction - toward God - whereas returning to being without sin, goes beyond God. Jesus does not want us to stay where we are; one day we will have to...

    Hello I'm here to boast in the Lord

    I think boasting in Heaven, will be a little like comparing scars! Welcome to the board!

    The Great White Throne is within you (look inside?)

    Hi there, So I just did a simple mental trick, I asked myself "where is the Great White Throne, relative to where I am on Earth now?" and I looked, and I realised that it was within me! We are not doing the things that will get God praise, because we are selfish; we are doing these things...

    Say a quick prayer: I'm being asked to consider moving out (and I don't want to), and I am struggling with scammers

    Hi there, So yes, I am being asked to consider moving out and I don't want to. The Lord said "do not go from house to house" and I would rather not! Also, I am struggling with scammers - they pretended to be working for my disability service and are trying to take money from my account. Thanks.

    If I am "commanded" to love you (brother/sister), what is it you think my love is commanded to be? (dreaming?)

    I wonder how my love for you all will change, over time? Which direction do you want it to go?
