I am praying right now for healing, peace, prosperity, and joy to these people.

It has always bothered me that in churches that I have attended, there will be prayers for God to protect our troops, but never prayers for wars to cease. The Crusades (1095–1291) are widely viewed as a period of profound violence, sectarian bloodshed, and catastrophic failures, resulting in...

But look at the subsequent comments by St SteVen in this thread. QUOTE Was the Bible (New Testament canon) God's idea? (since he didn't NEED a book to communicate with us) Did God hand Adam a KJV Bible to communicate? Enoch? Noah? Abraham? Some say it has God's fingerprints all over it, I...

You quote verses from the Old Testament. You wish you could see more war waged by Christians? Jesus did not teach that war, violence, or killing is okay.

If we are truly following Jesus, we must be governed by His principles. Love your enemies. Turn the other cheek. Resist not evil. Peter, put away thy sword. My kingdom is not of this world, thus my servants do not fight. Blessed be the peacemakers. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. Let...

Example of biblical evangelism, where salvation is simply based on believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul and Silas taught the Word to them so they would better understand who Jesus is, to enable them to believe on our precious Savior. Acts 16 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in...

This thread contains much that seems to violate the forum’s Rules. QUOTE Any derogatory remarks about God (including the Son and Holy Spirit) will be removed. The same goes for remarks about Christianity. Do not hold the Bible to be the Word of God? We are not interested, then. END QUOTE...

We either have eternal life or we do not. If you can lose it, do you have to get born again, again? Ridiculous. 1 John 5 11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath...

But we do not confess our sins to a someone, we confess them to God. Only God can forgive sins. ;’)

The Christ spirit in us compels us to be kind to all creatures. Nice story!

Yes, humans have choice, responsibility to exercise conscious will, one way or another. If we were just puppets with no volition, no act could be labeled as sin. Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your...

The black community is very happy Christians got heavily involved in politics. Changing society through alleviating suffering via activism and legislation is one way to love our neighbors as ourselves. Wikipedia: Although some Enlightenment philosophers opposed slavery, it was Christian...
