When Moses approached this strange sight of a Bush in flames yet not being consumed, he heard a voice telling him to take off his sandals because he was standing upon Holy ground. I realize that some people may think that there are places on Earth where there are patches of dirt and rock that...

Been a member since 2011 and it wasn't always so.

Doesn't really work as a definition for the new Testament church. Prior to the resurrection and the day of pentecost the Holy Spirit came upon people who then prophesied. Eg: the elders of Israel in the wilderness began to prophesie when God's spirit came upon them, and young Saul stripped...

The site has been ecumenical for as long as I've participated but there was most definitely a post defining christianity from the administrators which I no longer see on the home page, and I'd appreciate it if you stopped contradicting me and ask one of the long term moderators about this...

The biblical goal of christianity isn't to be a better person, but to be renewed in the image of God as revealed in the person of His son, to become a new creation. Until a person, including the most devout and pious Buddhist, receives Jesus Christ by faith, which is not simply acknowledging Him...

Hogwash. I refer you to the reformation and the rather well known work by Martin Luther, the bondage of the will. I'm no scholar, but I don't pretend to be either. I am biased for sure, my opinions have been greatly biased by God within me, which I could not claim until I was born again of the...

It might now but I've been posting here quite a while and there was once a doctrinal statement that defined Christian and consequently excluded some of the cults such as the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Church of latter day saints.

This web site had a similar doctrinal statement posted in an attempt to exclude cult members from using the forums for recruitment of young believers unfamiliar with sound doctrine and there was a link to it from the home page. I spent quite a few years just engaging cultists, tearing down false...

No, the Bible means what it says and you must be born again. Being exposed to the gospel does nothing but increase culpability, receiving the gospel as true and Jesus as Lord is everything. Congratulations on rediscovering for yourself one of the most fundamental doctrines in scripture. People...

Pretty sure that I've said that already. I suspect you may have a slight reading comprehension issue. Shall I use only one syllable words?

I didn't infer anything but I do suggest that the world is under the rule of spiritual entities, angelic beings, ministers to the inheritors of creation, organized with a definite hierarchy as spoken of in scripture but not spoken much about, described by men as gods, but understood to be...

Thanks for making my point.

Try reading the scripture (at least once) and slowly, most versions use a capital G when referring to the God and creator of all things, a "small g" when referring to gods created by Him or by the imaginations of man. 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are...

Sounds good to me, wish it were true. Pretty sure that there is nothing common about me so why would common sense be different?

One of my bible translations included passage headings to give a quick idea of the subject matter and used the heading "true religion" for Isaiah chapter 58, which actually covers the topic of fasting that is pleasing to God and contrasts it with religious hypocrisy. The chapter headings are...

I guess you don't believe in angelic territorial dominions? "They provoked Him to jealousy with foreign gods; With abominations they provoked Him to anger. They sacrificed to demons, not to God, To gods they did not know, To new gods, new arrivals That your fathers did not fear." Deuteronomy...

I think that if you need a tattoo to remember the birth of your kids, you have a worse memory problem than mine. Adopting the culture of the world is a bit like embracing the enemies of God, but there is freedom and liberty in Christ. It isn't my job to judge anyone, just to discern between what...

Everything spiritual, including Christian beliefs are viewed as purely mythological by a large part of the population. Ancient Chinese writings claim that one of the early emperors actually possessed a few dragons and paraded them on occasion through the forbidden city. They could've been Komodo...

Interesting post. If it's fake news I think the masks with the compass and square symbol were a nice touch. I remember a news story from some time before the pandemic about a protest in Washington DC which was covered by US news outlets. However I needed to watch a foreign news outlet's report...

I know that many members of the English royalty were members of the order of the Dragon with the king often being the first member, but I know little about the order other than it was Masonic or associated with Free Masonry at some point in history. We also have a record of the eastern European...
