I take great comfort in Jesus's promise in Matt 12 that the bruised reed he will not break or the smouldering candle he won't put out. Jesus knows our weaknessed, he is not offended when we scream and shout at him because of our problems. He already knows via the spirit that we are calling him...

Tell me how does an infatuated slave gain release from there obcession with there master and seek a new master? How many demon possessed people in the NT gained freedom from those who possessed them? Do you really think the devil lets his slaves go because the devouted slave on a whim wants...

Mankind has been decieved by satan since Adam. He has blinded, confused and distracted mankind away from the self evident characteristics of God. The whole Adam and Eve story shows Gods love for mankind. Adam is not left to blunder blinfly around to seek God. God is with him from the instant...

See in mixing your parables it causes trouble. Yes the farmer does stand for God, except for when it is being used to justify thining out the trouble makers from the congragation.

Well all I know is if God didn't chose me before he made creation. He would have seen nothing in my life after my birth to make him want to chose me. it give the glory to God and denies any glory or credit to man, so it is correct, or more correct than any doctrine that glorifies mans action...

Yes in the passage it is the king, but who is applying the passage to Christians? Mixing parables is like mixing drinks, gets one in trouble. Again the farmer permitted the tares to grow. How often is an error blown out of proportion to seem like the unforgiven sin of questioning a leader or...

Love that quote and find it challenging. To do that which is right and just in a commercial world can be hard. To give honest and accurate advice about products and service while also selling what one is employed to sell, means treading a very fine line. To love mercy, among critical and...

I am interested in how one applies the fact that many are called but few are chosen. You strongly implied that many who call them selfs Christian are not Christian. The passage deals with those who are not dressed correctly by expelling them. How are we to deal with incorrectly dressed...

So any 'Christian' who doesn't understan any of those 5 points is actually not a Christian. What you are really saying is to be a christian in addition to faith in Jesus one must also do the work of believing these doctrines.

How do these 'spirit filled' Christians actually live there lives? Jesus's words by their fruits you will know them, is very true. How chaste are they? How generouse towards others? How humble are they? What is more important the fun filled christian event or the serious hard work, brain...

google's a great place to find information on events like this. Is it relevent towards Jesus's return. No. We know it is goiing to happen while we cannot know when Jesus's return will be. The one cancels out the other.

God is not there to make our lives easy. We pray because we want to talk with our heavenly Father, not because we want things. When life is tough and our prayer for life to be comfortable aren't answered, we have a choise. To trust God and continue or to reject God. When life kicks one in...

Why are speculation based on a particular interpretation of part of the bible 'crucial' in enabling anyone remain true to there faith in Jesus? Was Asia Bibi strengthen in her trials by her knowledge of the second coming. For all she knew her arrest etc was part of the tribulation! Given the...

No you are splitting hairs between the meaning of the word 'time' and the meaning of 'the hour' as if there was any difference. As for judgement yes we are to make true judgement using the right standard and to be prepared for that same standard we use to be used against us. So get ridd of...

So what are the practicly application of this? Are all 'Christians' to go through a strict theological and practical examination of their life before being allowed to attend church. Is a moral council going to view the lifes of church members, calling those demned substandard in for...

I was taught it was anglosaxon, but have just checked and it's greek. So I was wrong about it not being relevent to the NT. But it also then follows that the posters theam is equally wrong.

Yes but the gospel, like trinity, and dinosaur is not a biblical term and what one calls the gospels really has nothing to do with how one evangelises, preaches or responds to the message. That is why it is pointless splitting hairs.

Make up your mind are sinners saved by faith or by works of keeping the law. It is one or the other not both.

And what makes you the arbitor of who is or is not a Christian?

Splitting hairs, the gospels teach us about Jesaus and salvation. That is 'Good News' ie the gospel. So what about some occured before Jesus died. It is still the message of salvation.
