    Why Preaching Is Important

    Are you sure about that? Jesus explained that His words were spirit and that they came via the Holy Spirit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jn 6:63 “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. The...

    The Kingdom of God - do we have access to it now?

    I really like the above post and perhaps the thing I like best is: We all have a perspective - which is to say that we all have experiences and things that have happened to and around us which give us perspective! From reading the post it seems clear that MatthewG, has a perspective that...

    Why Preaching Is Important

    Jn 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. The words of life Jesus Christ speaks to us are spirit - as proven by the above verse!! And it has always been that way! Jn 8:43 43 Why do you not understand what I...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    A couple of days ago the Lord wanted me to post on this thread. Frankly, it is an important thread and has a issue He needs to get people to understand - and that is that anyone thinking they are His elected people so as to not include others are sadly mistaken!! Indeed, it was the Pharisees and...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Believing in the Lord is not "Works" as foolish people think. However listening to the Lord by faith obviously results in doing what the Lords tells you, and that is works because of faith. Anyone actually hearing Him would understand this!! How can you not? We believer's do hear Him, and...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Those that accept Him into their lives!!! In the Bible we find: called, chosen, and faithful. Those who are with Him are all three of those things! If called, then elected by Him. If chosen, then predestined to be with Him in heaven. Yet we are saved by faith, and a faith that results in us...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Where did you come up with "consign" - Because of our free-will He obviously did not "consign" anyone anywhere!! That thinking is nothing more than people making excuses for themselves!!! Everyone has free-will to do choose good or evil!! We are not computers programmed!! We are individuals...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    People seem to have a lot of trouble with the concepts of free-will and predestination, and I don't understand why. It is clear that I can make choices. I can seek the Lord or not seek the Lord. I can decide to listen to Him or not. I can do what He asks me to or not. I can even put more effort...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    According to the Bible, when does God separate them into two groups?? You are wrong to say "In God's eyes there are only two groups" because that judgement is not made yet. We are to preach the good news, which is that "anyone" can open up to the Lord and hear from Him, but as for now we are...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Notice how you don't have verses nor even statement from Him, and then how His sheep hear His voice. You have a choice - and that is the exception that prevents people from being part of Him and His Kingdom. He doesn't exclude you, you do!! And sadly people, and those religious people who are...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Already going to Him? Did you not read that Today is the day we listen to Him??? And as for what God tells me - He tells me to get people to seek Him as the Word of God. Yet He also told me that He made my head as hard as their heads -their referring to those people that should listen to Him...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    We should know the condition of salvation is belief in Jesus Christ, right??? The atonement was not a condition, it was what make the condition of belief in Jesus Christ possible! Yet if anyone believes in Jesus Christ, the believe in who He is!!! For example: He is the Word of God. So, if...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    YES!!! If we actually take time to listen to the Lord with any regularity, we find out that the bible is correct. He really does care for people and really does not want anyone to perish!! So we all have our choice to make, and that choice is to believe in Him and that He is their to be...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    HA - don't you hear from Him????? Even Today??? We all wind up showing people who we are when we write. I show, but you don't believe it, that I hear from Him. You show that you can not even believe someone can and should hear from Him!! And I back up what I write with both words He told me...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    What a sad thread!! Does anyone here even know Him? The Lord asked me to come and post this morning, which fortunately is not something I have been asked to do for a bit, but since HE asked me, ok. First of all, while the Lord may know which people are going to come and get to know Him, that...

    We got Snow

    After I left my pastor's house I drove home. I turned out that it was a very short and small snow storm. It actually seemed like one big wide cloud about ten miles wide that seemed to be the whole storm. It was just kind of freaky. Again I heard the Lord speaking to me. He asked me to take my...

    We got Snow

    I like honestly!! So I don't like giving praise to someone, anyone, unless I can be honest about it. Honestly, knowing the Lord has been very interesting. I have learned so much from Him. And so I give testimonies because I honestly feel that people should get to know Him!! And I don't mean...

    We got Snow

    We got snow here in Southern California, and not just on the mountains. That is rare! Only the third time I have seen it! That was news but it was not a testimony. However, it did remind me of one of the more incredible testimonies in my life. This time we pretty much knew we might get snow. The...

    Why Preaching Is Important

    Wonderful OP!! WE ABSOLUTELY DON'T GO AROUND THINKING ABOUT THE LORD OUR GOD! Even "believers" don't go around thinking about the Lord our God even though we believe He is with us all the time. What a mistake! Heb 3: 13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called...
