Jesus worked! What you have to answer for yourselves is "why (did Jesus work)?" My contention is that Jesus worked, because the Father loved Him. The Father loves all of us, why then should we not work?

Fear not! The world will take ownership of the rapture, cease to blame and will thank the Lord for His bread.

Hi there, EDIT: SUMMARY, The three gifts of the Holy Spirit on Earth - hardiness, character, patience - come from trust, prayer, waiting. These three things deliver from tribulation on Earth. So caveat: I am not sure this is in the right forum. What I want to discuss, is how we approach the...

Hi there, Ok so this is something that I am struggling with, but I am almost completely certain that it will be of relevance to others, if not of faith then of the world: I am itching. I am itching to get recognition, I am itching to get prophetic vision, I am itching to have power to heal, I...

Hi there, So I guess it behoves me to set out why it is that refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong. Refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong: if you all the work of the Holy Spirit to be finished. The point is, if you haven't given God's Spirit space, you should wait until...

Peace. Love. Understanding. The joy of tribulation is that God does not allow it to continue.

Artificial intelligence now uses the same logic, that human consciousness does. Peace despite indifference, suggests that the mind is a tool like anything else is. Will God use ChatGPT to get His point across, more effectively?

Faith is the spirit of a work. As a spirit of a work, it inspires us to work. That is why every mature believer makes work a priority.

Hi there, So there is a simple truth that I think if you have argued with Evolution at all, you are going to like. It is about addressing the orientation towards change, that is, what the motivation is. As it stands, Evolution is about the subjection of the body to pressure lived out through...

Yes but take Deconstructionism, for example: how can something's meaning be it's opposite? That's what they tried to teach me at uni! Deconstructionism is a dead concept and there are many like it. Hegel's dialectic, Utilitarianism, Descartes, the Romantic period, the Enlightenment, Marxism...

That's harsh. Why make other people's faith, my responsibility? Science gave us lobotomies and ethnic cleansing.

"Laughing now" is not taking the moment seriously - I don't know what could be clearer?

The idea is that if you have overcome the change that schizophrenia provokes, there will be less change needed, as the end of your life begins to approach.

Hi there, So yes, to be plain, there is a way for a psychiatrist to keep you scrambling for self defence: use conceit. What is the conceit that they use? For starters, that they are the psychiatrist, not you; secondly, that there is no reason for them to change their diagnosis, if what you do...

Hi there, So yes, just thinking about Heaven and falling back on Paul's suggestion that it is possible for someone to be caught up to the third Heaven, it behooves us to think on how the Heavens work. Something that is fairly self-evident, is that each successive Heaven, is more by faith than...

Filling your head with dead concepts, is undoubtedly going to leave you bereft of life. The Lord never promised a particular theory, would get you an exchange for your soul. "Sufficient for the day is its own trouble" - how many of us have committed to a life of this kind of faith?

I think, to be fair, Salvation is a relationship - it is neither solely God's work, nor solely yours: hopefully it is more God's!

Works of evil, works of good - how do you sit on the fence, without making a work of it?

I have come to the conclusion, that the best thing to do with an Evolutionist, is to hand them over to the Devil, that they learn not to pevert the truth. That is where it has come to. They don't need trust they don't honour, they don't need power they don't identify as having come from God.

The idea that paint is meant to be reflected on, but not when it is wet, is an interesting one. When we are young believers, our paint is still fresh, I suppose. By the same token, we should not paint ourselves into a corner!
