    What is the narrow gate?

    Husband's and wives are declared equal in scripture, yet God has called women to subordinate themselves to their husbands (e.g. the husband is head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church). God is a god of order and He has defined order in all the universe. If He didn't exempt Himself...

    Is America Becoming A Force For Evil In The World?

    Amen to that brother, but does this mean that the holy relic of the face of Jesus on a tortilla can be safely discarded or otherwise consumed? :D

    Homosexuality: Is it the way a person is born?

    Not the wackiest doctrine that I've ever seen, but certainly consistent with freemasonry, luciferian teaching, and that of a number of cults. Read the Bible and trust what it says; NO other document on this earth expresses consistent truth with verifiable and proven historical satisfaction of...

    What is the narrow gate?

    I don't think that you've ever attended a real church service, but if you think that you can express the doctrine of Jesus Christ in 3 verses taken out of context, you're just simple minded. If you believe that biblical doctrine teaches something else other than the equality of The Father, Son...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Hey, it's your call, Arnie. Years ago, (not long after receiving the truth of the gospel and receiving Christ as Lord) I would invite the door to door JWs in to sit for a few minutes to talk about what they believed in and to try to point out their error to them (as well as to share the gospel...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Well, Arnie outed the author of the thread and anyone who reads it will know exactly what he is (and ignore him.) I'm not inclined to let people who claim to be seeking God to continue on their happy way to destruction, but kjw47 has already received the message of the gospel and rejected it. He...

    What is the narrow gate?

    I think that you still miss the point; Jesus did execute His ministry to glorify the Father, but the Father is an unseen, invisible, and eternal God who exists independently of creation. Jesus is the only way to see Him (but no less eternal), because Jesus is the express likeness of God, the...

    What is the narrow gate?

    In Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus is referring to those who practiced religion as opposed to those who are born again of His Spirit, such as all those cults which pretend to be following Him, but make their authority something other than the scripture. The very next verse in that chapter says, "And then...

    How can the body of Christ function properly without eyes and ears?

    Perhaps you are eyes or ears in the body of Christ but don't know it because of your unbelief. I've prayed for you a number of times and still am, and the Lord has shown me that He will give you the gift of prophecy in order to satisfy the requirements of His own justice. You'll begin to know...

    What is the narrow gate?

    The only way to find the righteousness of God is in receiving the righteousness that He has provided in the person of His Son, "The Lord our Righteousness". Scripture actually points to the God of the covenant (Yahavah) as being = Jesus (in His pre-incarnate deity.) Jesus might be called "the...

    What is the narrow gate?

    "but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world." Hebrews 1:2 (ESV) (the Son is the creator, hmm, sounds like God to me.) "He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he...

    WW111 AND THE RAPTURE(CATCHING UP) OF BELIEVERS ANY DAY NOW.

    I've heard John MacArthur, one of the stronger pre-trib. rapture scholars try to make a genuine biblical case for their doctrine (most just pull a few verses out of context and misinterpret them), but it amounts to dividing the first resurrection (Revelation 20:4-6) into multiple resurrections...

    What is the narrow gate?

    This is precisely why such doctrine is called "strong" delusion. It ensnares and makes captive through its appeal to the carnal mind. Its bonds are "strong" and only the Spirit of the Living God, our Savior Jesus Christ can deliver such a one (or anyone for that matter.) So I urge Arnie and the...

    What is the narrow gate?

    You mention 1 Corinthians 8:5-6: 5. For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6. yet for us there is only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and...

    Is America Becoming A Force For Evil In The World?

    No I didn't. You quoted someone who responded to one of my previous posts. Countries aren't exceptional, but a person might be. Is that supposed to be a joke? God has placed a curse upon those that destroy the earth. I don't know if that guilt falls upon nations or upon economic systems, but...

    What is the narrow gate?

    My paternal grandparents left Spain to avoid the coming conflict prior to 1914, as did my maternal grandfather. I wasn't old enough when my father's mother died to know what she believed (I don't remember her at all), but my father's father was an atheist and either a communist or anarchist, not...

    How can the body of Christ function properly without eyes and ears?

    Arnie, no man gives a true prophecy by his own will, but by God's. I've known psychics who can prove that they are psychic by telling you things about your own past that they shouldn't know and by using "energies" to attack your body physically (this is a demonic manifestation and not godly). It...

    What is the narrow gate?

    The founder of the Jehovah's witnesses was a Free Mason and the Free Masons have taught from scripture for centuries if not for millennia, however their doctrine is warped, twisted, deceiving, and deceived. The Father isn't looking for luciferians and cults because they supposedly "follow the...

    How can the body of Christ function properly without eyes and ears?

    I haven't asked you to believe a thing other than the word of God. By the way, in order to see the more specific messages, you'd need to go back and review postings from prior to 9/11/2001 and not here, but elsewhere (I think that it was on AOL, but my memory isn't what it never was. However...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Not that it really matters much, but I've come to understand that the correct pronunciation of "the name" is really more like "Yah Ha' Vah," (or was it Yah' ha Vah' (?)) though I wouldn't recommend throwing it about the way people do with the anglicized Greek name Jesus, or Jehovah. I've heard...
