    History and Time from Gods perspective

    I liked that yet... I would never take the time to make these calculations! :lol: So thanks I think it just puts things in perspective. If everything really ISN'T about us, but about God and his glory, then what is it to us if when he decides the time has come? It's a question of focus, I guess.

    Pff... Easy for you to ask, looks like you used your elbows to type yours when you signed up :lol: Just kidding ;) (By the way, is there some meaning to it?) You know what... ikj won t e3 gfve3jn ty6r5yhu7! (In other words, or letters I should say, I won't even try!) I was greatly...

    The greatest Joke you'll ever read.

    Our Lord's Acceptance

    Hi Holy Pursuit :) ! Absolutely... We have a part to play. The first time the word 'saved' appears in the KJV new testament is when Jesus says "And you will be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved."! We must endure, we must persevere... A verse that...

    Does the denomination matter?

    I might get some flack for this but here it is... All the denominations are flawed, because they are all systems with beliefs. Beliefs that put men in control and system with their own agenda. The church needs to have no agenda but what God tells it. Who leads denominations? Men appointed by...

    Does Jesus possess you?

    I think we must indeed seek to attain Christ. There is much cynicism today at this idea and many speak as though it was not possible. "We'll never be like that anyways!" I think we need to look outside of our own experience to see what Christ is calling us to. After all, he does say 'be perfect...

    Our Lord's Acceptance

    Now here's where there's a bit of a twist on the subject! There is, in sorts, two entrances, or acceptances... Firstly into the race. Then into heaven. Are both the same? Here's my understanding of it. Firstly god calls us into the race. That is the free gift of God... Then we must answer in...

    Our Lord's Acceptance

    Good day! I hear often nowadays brothers and sisters saying they 'accepted the Lord'. Christians often say 'when you accept the Lord Jesus Christ you get heaven' or 'when you accept the Lord Jesus Christ you get saved' (same meaning). I just want to throw a challenge in there... Not trying to...

    Sabbath

    Yes! We still have commandements, things to refrain from... But now we build on righteousness and are to walk in holiness! Good point to, to walk in holiness we need the work of the cross done in us! 1 Thessalonians 4:2For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. Then goes on...

    Sabbath

    To answer the OP We are to worship at all times in all things... That's what happens when we are in the Spirit! It's not about using your vocal cords to make some noise, it's about lifting your heart up to the Lord. As it says, 'pray without ceasing'... Does that mean 'stay on your knees 24/7...

    Sabbath

    The sabbath in the OT is a shadow of the true sabbath, to rest from our works and do the works of the Father. At least that's how I understand it ;) Blessings...

    A Spiritual Christian does not sin.

    Walk by the Spirit and you will not fulfill the deeds of the flesh I don't think it's a matter of self control or trying real hard. Doing that is righteous, and being sorry for making mistakes is righteous, but I think we are called higher, to holiness. When we are filled with the Lord we...

    The Purpose of the Church

    Sounds like you're really tired of sunday church... I'm not a sunday church goer either, and find that in almost every case there is either no life, or simply propped up soul life, but not spiritual life. There is a joke going around that says that if someone had a heart attack in church on...

    Damned for not agreeing

    Forgive me for jumping to conclusions, brother. :unsure: Meant no harm. I agree with Templar, I'm not a fan of the reformation and as a matter of fact don't really agree... Blessings in the Lord

    Damned for not agreeing

    Are you seriously using this to defend the actions of John Calvin? You're taking one part of scripture and making it apply to what you want. Jesus Christ brought a sword, yes, which divides. But he did not come to kill men. Christ was crucified, not the one crucifying. Luke 9:54And when his...
