The works done in order to achieve salvation are what God considers as filthy rags...the things you do for others is awesome, and highly commendable!... and I DO hope you continue in them and, as you've said, you do these things out of compassion and empathy and NOT to "buy" salvation...

Here's a 3 minute video that @"ByGrace" shared last year, threading the Gospel throughout each name...I found it amazing especially I NEVER looked at the geniologies as it would make me VERY sleepy, lol...there is also a video he did that took the geniologies all the way to Christ and the Church...

Thoughtful post, intriguing and mysterious. It think man was much healthier, maybe even bigger and stronger as well...since most walked for miles a day. Those paved areas are way interesting, as well as the artifacts found. Good to think about these things, and I wonder if there are...

We could have the same story. The last Church I attended was like yours. Many standoffish and not so nice people. Despite my wanting to leave several times. like yourself, I also felt God did not want me gone yet. So, when last year, after my 10 weeks non weight baring on left foot ended, I...

Very encouraging Helen, thank you for sharing ♥

As far as Hell is concerned, I am pretty sure this thread will draw all kinds of beliefs, explanations...maybe a video or two, ha! It will be interesting! "Very wise answer" Oh I don't know about "wise" lol, but gee tanx :) I don't think there ever was nor ever will be a human alive who can...

Ah, tough subject. I know Helen's views on Hell...well, for the most part. But, there is much confusion with the terms, "Hell, Hades, Gehenna, Tartarus." I tend to believe that the fire itself is everlasting but, not so much the body - not being consumed. I believe they perish in the fire...

Oh gosh, so sorry to hear! I understand surgeries, I've had 6 and am looking at possibly 2 more in the future...will go as long as I can before another one! I hope you will be able to get back to the gym. Heal well and fast! ♥ I am sorry @JellyJam ...don't mean to hijack your thread...

Well, thank you for the graciously written reply ♥ And, I have not seen you ever saying that God does not exist, I only see you stating about evidence. And, if I said anything in my reply that was unkind I am very sorry :oops: I was kind of mad at ya when I wrote it!! LOL. Not anymore...

Welcome back @Willie T ! I hope you are healing well!

You're quite welcome. "I am not sure antinomianist is a word." No, I don't think it's real word either, lol but Antinomianism is :)

Thank you Enoch, "all 3 tenses apply" - you are the second person to clarify this. I learned something new today @"ByGrace" :D

That sounds awesome! Like a bible study really. May I ask what made you uncomfortable? ♥

Ahaha...didn't have a brain handy, sry :D

EDIT: I am sorry, as I should have given @Butterfly the credit for this awesome thread. I simply posted it for her as she did not have the time. I don't pay attention to my own "number of threads/posts" but, I do realize others do...some more than others...:eek: lol. So, Just so you all...

Hi Chris! The happenings in this horrible world are constant and can so bring us down in our spirits...we can only imagine how God feels :( I take it your grandson is a proponent of climate change? And, you are not? Lol. Thank you for the kind words. Yes, this thread (actually Butterfly's...

"Um but if you want to see magic today one powerful way to do that is to lose your expectations of others." Ah, agreed. This has come back to bite me many times. I am learning to have no expectations of anybody anymore. Even if they say they will or will not do a thing... You would think one...

Yes, perhaps for many but...I would not include Aspen in that as, he does have a heart for God and is a good reader/studier (sp?). I'm sure God will honor that as he seeks Him. Also, 2 protestant Church's I had attended in the past, were teaching erroneous interpretations so, it's not just...

And The Church said: AMEN to that. :D

I had posted in reply to Phoneman's post #16. What is it you say I have no idea about? What 2 words have I combined? antinomian noun an·ti·no·mi·an | \ ˌan-ti-ˈnō-mē-ən \ Definition of antinomian 1: one who holds that under the gospel dispensation of grace (see GRACE entry 1sense 1a) the...
