Amen, Groundzero!

I agree, Duckybill, there is no such thing as a Christian nation. We are of another kingdom and our faith is there to bring this kingdom here, that more might enter in. I like the title of the thread though... Could make for an interesting subject! :)

And God is love. We misrepresent him if we claim him but our character doesn't follow suit. That is what I am trying to point to. Many honest people are disgusted with Christendom because we do not act like the Christ. It is a sad thing. The Bible even warns us about this... What are we...

Yes! God is the author, we are his witnesses and his vessels available for his work! Amen!

God bless you, Duckybill :)

May God bless you, Duckybill :)

Our trust is not to be in a book, but in Christ. 2 Cor. 3:4 And we have such trust through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant...

By faith we enter in, by the Spirit we move forward.

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. (John 5:39) The scriptures do not testify of themselves, but of Christ. They point to him. It is Him we must follow.

That is not what I said. I am clarifying what the Word of God is. I write this simply with the hope that we would come to see that we need the Lord's leading. We do not follow a book, but the living Christ Jesus. This book is a testimony of those who have gone before us to walk this path. It...

Jesus said 'Follow me'. He is the living word and it is in Him that I put my trust. :) If we do not follow the Spirit, we will be deceived.

Hi all! I read a verse and something interesting struck me, which I just thought I would share and open discussion upon :) 1 Thessalonians 2:13 (ESV) 13 And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word...

His Spirit will guide us, yes! We must follow the Word that is Jesus, and Jesus is not written, he is alive! John says that the Word was God, speaking of Jesus. We must walk in his power and his life! The Bible is a great tool, and the Lord uses it mightily. Don't get me wrong, I think...

I just wanted to raise a question... And just see what people think. As I was going through many of the active threads lately, I found myself scratching my head and wondering what was going on. I just had the impression that almost every argument was done without love, and was full of...

Ah, it could sound like that, but it's not what I'm saying. So God used Paul and Peter (and many others) to speak the word of God. What they spoke, we have it in the Bible. These are, yes, the commandments of the Lord, as they are his word. Only did God just stop using people like Paul and...

1 Thessalonians 2:13 (ESV) 13 And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. Just sayin' :)

Haha... The joys of communication, yes. :) First of all, I have no problems with you believing this, though I don't see it. I have no problem because you say "if you are obedient to Christ you will be raptured because the bible says so". Whether right or wrong that there is a rapture, I see it...

First off, FHII, I want to say thanks for that answer. :) These kind of back and forths are interesting! Now, reading your answers there is really one question I see that you are asking me, and I see it in both these statements... I receive faith by hearing the word of God (faith comes by...
