While there is a lot of word "craft smith" in these two paragraphs that do, indeed, make them similar when it comes to the crunch, I think i'd have to perhaps disagree with Number 2: "different attributes". Do they really have different "attributes"? Or do they just have different tasks and...

I'm kinda sick of the Catholic bashing that goes on here. Have you guys read this rule: We get it, you don't like Catholics. Next.....

I'm a little hesitant to answer this question, as 1: it seems I'm quite possibly the only non-fan here and might get steam-rollered. And 2: my conversations with you lead nowhere. But it's a fair enough question, so I'll answer briefly. The Shack had, perhaps, honorable intentions: to try and...

I'm not a fan on the book, to be honest, but that's not really the point. ...are we really having a conversation about what God "can and can't do"? Because I think the answer is blindingly obvious, isn't it?? The real question would be: would he? In all the ways he gets peoples attention and...

I don't quite understand how the Jews get to come to Christ after he returns. Doesn't everything in scripture indicate that death or Christ's return mark the end of people's chance to "pick a side"...so to speak? While I see great numbers of Jews coming to Christ in Romans 11, I don't know that...

So...you don't think Christ will physically return? I'm unsure how that will work, considering that the "grand plan" is for the earth to be made new, and for everyone...including Christ, is to live here. I'm assuming then, at some point, he will have to "return physically"... I think that the...

I don't know who John Wimber is....but I'll check him out!

Do you see any of this translating into the now? For example: while many of the promises of salvation we know we have in Christ wait until the final consummation, some of them we have now...the Already, Not Yet, concept.

Well...I honestly haven't made up my mind about the timing of it all. All I feel confident saying is that the bible says it will happen! As far as "how" Jesus will return...I think the Bible teaches a physical return. I think we can argue strongly that the Bible says we will see him descend (as...

Well...from one point of view, it's sort of impossible for the Jews of today to be practicing Judaism of the OT without a Temple and sacrifices. Not that we really want them to go back to that anyway. We want them to go forward to Christ!

While I agree that there are definitely those who can make 'truth claims' that are not warranted or correct, I felt uncomfortable when you said that declaring "absolute truth" about things is in the same spirit. On this board I have found you to be a wise influence, one clearly who loves the...

Sorry I haven't replied to you...for some reason this message didn't get an "alert"...or I missed it...sorry! So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. - Rom 11:11...

Thank you! That was an extremely helpful post! And...it may explain why I have not been gifted! As much as I often think of ministry...I find that my mission field is home. I have a chronic illness that doesn't let me out much, and my kids are homeschooled because of autism/anxiety. So...no...we...

Many Christians have said that Donald Trump has given America a reprieve against the relentless sliding towards the liberalism agenda. And I agree. But I think what we see playing out on the news reflects what will happen the moment President Trump is no longer President: either through his term...

Thank you HIH. Ashes is actually exactly how it happened. Blown to ashes. How remarkable. It's interesting to think about the dream having more application than just "encouragement". How would you suggest I walk forward from here? Should I take it as just God showing me that others will be given...

Hi Frank, thanks for your encouraging post! I will continue to seek and ask and pray. I suppose I should always remind myself that as God's child, he has a definite plan for me. That's exciting, whatever it is!

I found the OP to be a very well put, timely reminder for us not to get bogged down in day to day distractions. And let's be honest...no matter how we "walk in the Spirit", we all tend to get caught up. How can we not when we cannot neglect living? God would not have us neglect living. We have...

In regards to the OP question: No. I don't. However....I feel I need to say....there seems to be two categories coming out here: those that do and those who don't (and deny it's validity). What about those who do not pray in tongues, because they have not been gifted with it, but would like...

I've had absolutely no experience with dream interpretation. To be quite honest, the Church I've grown up in isn't big on charismatic gifts. I often think this is to their (and my) detriment. I've often had dreams over the years that I would have called spiritual warfare. When I've woken and...
