It is a peripheral issue and has nothing to do with salvation. But of course, we know that in some Communist countries, the body of Christ is oppressed because of the ideology of their economic/political system (Communism). So I think Capitalism is better, even if it isn't perfect.

Michael, sometimes Christians have disagreements (see Acts of the Apostles 15:36-41), and I disagree with Willie T. here (post #146), to a certain extent. I would encourage you to have a kjv and stick with it as a standard for you in English. Other translations are valid and may help you to...

That was excellent.

Amen! I didn't know he was 17. The verse may still be good for future reference though. Another one to think on might be Proverbs 18:22 and Proverbs 19:14. For future reference though. Of course a balance to this is in 1 Corinthians 7:26-27, and 1 Corinthians 7:32-33. Depends on if he has...

Michael, it has been good talking with you. Please feel free to continue to post or even send me a PM if you want. I am going to call it a night, unless there is more pressing business that immediately comes up on here. I generally post every day so I will be here in the morning if the Lord...

I would minister to you Psalms 68:6.

Hi, my name is Geoffrey and this is my wife Zana! (we are joined at the hip) What's yours? (but I already know your name because you told me it is Sean Michael).

A scripture passage that you might consider is Luke 11:9-13.

It simply means that I believe that the Jesus that you have been told about by the Jehovah's Witnesses is not the Jesus who lived and walked the earth 2,000 years ago. The Watchtower has lied about who He is, so the perception of JW's about who He is is different than who He really is. So in...

My prayer of salvation was, "God, I don't even know if You are real; but I am going to start reading Your word and doing what it says: and I know that if You are real, You will reveal Yourself to me." Why not pray something like that? Now I know that You have to be talking to the real and...

Christians are said to be "a peculiar people" (Titus 2:14, 1 Peter 2:9).

No kidding. Not adequately enough to convince anyone (who is truly saved) of your point of view.

I can say that "Yeshua is the Lord", if you can say that "Jesus is the Lord" or even that "Yeshua is the Lord" in light of what it says in Matthew 11:25, Luke 10:21, and Ephesians 4:5. But if I say "Yeshua is Lord" before you do that, I think I would be calling Lord a different Jesus than is...

Isn't that special...

The Bible that is quoted simply by scrolling over verses that are referenced on this website is also generally good, although not always impaho.

Do you have a King James Version of the Bible? I think a first step might be to purchase one if you don't, so that all of us can be on the same page.

I am definitely going to pray for you Michael. In fact, I am already beginning to weep over your situation. I have a Nephew named Michael.

It's not too late for you to come to faith in the true Jesus (see 2 Corinthians 11:3-4).

Now I certainly don't hate you. In fact I care for you and what your eternal destiny might be. I also hope that you would look further into the faith of Christianity so that you can find love, joy, and peace (Galatians 5:22-23) in this life as well as the next. Also Philippians 4:6-7, 1 Peter...

I would say that at least in that thread, there is not a lot of what you might call bad fruit. The exchanges are generally kind and loving. Why don't you check it out?
