    The Church and the State

    I would turn it down because that is NOT what I am called too. I don't want to speak hastily, and say I will not fail. That is not my claim. But as a disciple of Christ, I have no interest in participating in politics or become a king in this life. My summer? Why the question in this subject...

    In his authority

    Hahaha... Lord bless your heart brother! I find that kind of funny, on the one hand I'm told I'm a Jesus quote machine, and on the other, I make a bible study and some people tell me I don't give enough verses. :lol: I don't go to church buildings (atleast it's very rare)... The deception is...

    Out with the Old, in with the New?

    A brother said this to me, and I thought it was quite appropriate. "The Bible does not give answer to the seeker of facts, but to the seeker of truth." The Bible doesn't roll by facts, but by truth.

    Why some reject Jesus and the gospel

    Rev 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. Heb 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29For...

    Why some reject Jesus and the gospel

    With all due respect, and in love... :) God is our friend. But is he only our friend? Is he not our Father anymore? How can we not see that both are true? God is still a Father who scourges (yes, that means whip, and its in the Bible) his children. And he is still the vine from which we...

    In his authority

    Brother, I'll say it plainly, you haven't understood what I communicated in the other thread at all, and am saddened that you would think of me this way. :mellow: I do think we need to be righteous, to do what is right before God, to feed the poor. But we can't focus on it. May God bless you!

    Light and Darkness

    So what are you saying? I think I don't get the point you're making. :) :huh: Of course, the natural shouts of his glory. But it is not by natural means that man grasps the super natural. The natural reflects the things of God, so yes it is good to study it. Only I think we all know what light...

    The Church and the State

    Oh brother, let me clarify what I say. The answer to your question is that I wouldn't be a politician. It is a role that I would refuse. If you read what I said again, you would see that I said that we SHOULD feed the poor among us. A politician should indeed feed the poor. But as...

    Light and Darkness

    Ah, I agree! And yes we are in the world. We have to make a living etc etc. What I am talking about is not coming out of the world, but simply not being of it. We must not promote the Gospel of Christ using worldly means. Did Peter use money or politics to convey the message of Christ? Did...

    An edit I made of me and my friends and the big waves last weekend...

    Those are huge waves man! That's crazy! The Lord bless you, brother!

    Light and Darkness

    When I talk about a group, I am talking in general. Jesus himself was a Jew. There are groups that form together. Certainly, some are different, but they apply to the exception and no the rule. Which is why I make it general when talking about a group. I hope this helps... Lord bless you...

    Light and Darkness

    To walk in the light, then cannot be done by having certain beliefs, or ascribing to a set of religious organizations set up by men. To walk in the light rather, requires to take the cross. To do this, one must expose the deeds of darkness. This is what the light does, it exposes. Stephen...

    Light and Darkness

    The light creates offense John 3:20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. This is true for all. The revelation and truth of Christ is a scandal for all. His light points to his cross. To choose life is to choose to be...

    Something Diabolical is Afoot

    Contradictions? Sure. Hot aire and myths? That is not true. 1 John7 Brethren,[a] I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning.[b]] 8 Again, a new commandment I write to you...

    Light and Darkness

    Amen brother! God is light. Here we go. It is clear according to the word of the Lord and the history of his people that darkness, the force of evil, permeates all beliefs and all religion. Yes, that includes God's people. How can we deny this? The Lord's people, Israel, rebelled in the...

    How do I know if I'm talking to the right Jesus Christ?

    I agree brother :) We must love the Lord our God first, and follow him and what he tells us to do. The Lord bless you

    The Church and the State

    Brother, I tell you this with love :) We can't create anything good. Even if physically it looks good and feels good, if it is not the will of God, it goes against his revelation. Christ said we would always have the power, 'so follow me' he says. Should we love and take care of the poor we...

    Out with the Old, in with the New?

    I wont do that. Endless arguments really wont get anywhere, besides I dont have such material. When men try and explain what the Bible says, they all end up disagreeing and saying the opposite of each other anyways. :lol: Man explaining things will only mix you up. If you really want to...

    The Church and the State

    Wonderful. Exciting. Of this world. When human, natural things amaze us, we should wonder through whos eyes we are looking at them. The way of the Lord is by the Spirit, and we are not to walk as friends of this world.
