Of course we can, and we can do so in confidence because such prayer is according to His will. God makes no promise to answer prayer outside His will, but there is always power in prayer that is aligned with His will and in believing that you have received His promise. Not every answer to...

Ah yes, this is the dividing line for the cults, but scripture teaches quite plainly that Jesus created all things. The Jehovah's Witnesses were troubled by this verse and changed it in their corrupted translation to read "all other things". So the JWs, who say that they believe in one God...

I had such questions as a Roman Catholic and sitting under dogma rather than sound doctrine. However, Christ resolves all such misunderstandings (through His teaching) when you receive His Holy Spirit by believing His promises, submitting to His word, and praying in faith for His control over...

Shortly after I believed the gospel, I read an article in a magazine, Newsweek I think, about certain elements in the RCC pressuring the pontiff to elevate St.Mary, "the mother of God", to the status of coredemptrix with Jesus Christ. I found this appalling as nothing in scripture elevates a...

None of us will ever be God. When you see the bombs falling, or the tornado bearing down on your home, or the flames surrounding you, just order them to be gone and let me know how that goes.

Christians frequently stumble over what Jesus taught, because most of what He said was said to unbelieving Jews confident in their relationship to God through the covenant of Abraham. Christians have a new covenant which replaces the old one (of the law) and is very broad in its liberty, but...

I don't couch my words in obtuse language. It may work with unstable women, but doesn't engage the saints.

I'm not a teacher, my calling is to be a prophet to the church, my nation, and by extension to the world. Short of another great awakening and worldwide repentance, the world has very little time left. The mission of the prophet is correcting those going astray using the word of God. It's like...

Nope. The letters in the book of the Revelation were written to specific churches, but are relevant to anyone "who has an ear to hear". Good try though. By the way, if you think that there's order in the church now, just go back to your op and read all the responses.

I know it sound a bit smug or arrogant, but I'm inclined to say you might not agree with me now, but you will eventually. Take care brother and if you manage to find a perfect man or woman, please introduce me and I'll change my mind. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the...

Very good. A good wife uses her God given gifts to help her husband behave in a godly way, but not to usurp authority or control Him. Some people misunderstand the curse in Genesis chapter 3: "Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.” "Desire" here doesn't refer to...

Not really, you're making the verse (1 John 1:8) fit your understanding. Scripture doesn't contradict scripture. If it seems to, you're not getting the meaning correct. I've given you one verse that contradicts your understanding from 1 Corinthians 13 (it's not just something you read at...

I've considered these things my entire life, though I wasn't able to understand them until I was 39 years old and born again. Christ completes His church when He returns. We have His promises, we have His Spirit, we have His word. His word says: 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I...

Hello brother. I know that you want to be the peacemaker and God bless you for that. Paul shared in the same fallen nature that we are all born subject to. Jesus however, only shared the flesh, not the nature. He was fully man, but without sin. Jesus is the goal as He was for the Apostle as...

Flesh is flesh, spirit is spirit. I'm sorry, but none of us will ever be God.

Do you see how one person's bitterness spreads rapidly to bring division? This is the reason for church discipline. I hope that we do our appointed job before He does.

I agree with you. However, in this thread alone we have "sisters in the Lord" calling brothers chauvinist (apparently knowing nothing about Chauveu), contradicting the plain meaning of scripture by cherry picking verses to justify their attitudes, slandering their brothers in the Lord, and...

So let me try to understand your statement here. Do you see the rebellion of wives and women as legitimate and that we're destined to have the kingdom torn away from us? Can you explain anything clearly without obfuscation?

You keep making the same error in your posts. Eve was made from Adam as a "helpmeet". Eve is not Adam and Adam is not Eve, but together they are defined as man. We are not God and God is not us, but together we are one body in Christ. The promise of God is that you will be like Him (ultimately)...

Solomon was rebellious to the Lord, even building shrines for his pagan wives and worshipping the baals. That's why the kingdom was torn from his son Rehoboam. He didn't foreshadow Christ, but may have been a type of the Antichrist (his yearly tribute recieved was 666 talents of gold. ) 14 The...
