Thank you for your testimony. I pray others that may be experiencing the same things find encouragement in what you have posted. God bless you!

Philippians 2:12 12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. This is an excerpt...

I do not believe that the soul is electricity. Electricity can be generated, whereas souls can not be. Electricity can be harnessed and manipulated, souls can not. I can and do entertain the idea that the soul is a form of energy, although that form is yet to be defined in a scientific...

Ephesians 2:4 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in...

What about the thief on the cross? He was never baptized in water.

Yes, I am saying you can't lose salvation. My reasoning is because it is God who gives salvation, not us who earn it. We simply have faith that the promises God makes are true because He does not lie. If it is you are to be saved by God, you will be saved just as He promises. This is out of...

The best answer for this question IMHO is no. First off let me say that anything that is a work of God can not be thwarted, Job 42:2 and we are His workmanship. Ephesians 2:10 Jesus is the perfecter and author of our faith. Hebrews 12:2 Then why all the warning passages you might ask...

2 cor 12:7-10 Job 2:10 God only gives good gifts no matter how we interpret them. Faith is not the same as determination. I think you may want to re-read my first post.

I do believe Jesus answers prayers for healing still to this day!

The reasoning for the mention of tongues is because it seems to a manifestation that displays itself upon the laying of hands, thereby the two go together. In fact there are certain denominations that claim without this particular manifestation the validity of your salvation is brought into...

Inmate, Devote time to His holy writ. Take the example of Jesus' temptation, the one thing Jesus used against Satan and his tactics was Scripture.

This makes me think, thanks.

A little story I have about tongues. My neighbor who is Romanian by birth migrated to America and stayed with her sister at a place where they worked. After some time working there they decided it was time for them to move on but being new to the country and English not being their native...

Kepha31, I think you are a bit mistaken here "1 Cor. 11:27-29 - in these verses, Paul says that eating or drinking in an unworthy manner is the equivalent of profaning (literally, murdering) the body and blood of the Lord. If this is just a symbol, we cannot be guilty of actually profaning...

If God desired the book of Enoch to be included in cannon it would have been. Men are not sovereign over His holy writ, no matter how much one may doubt that fact, God is. With that said there are definitely interesting parallels. The dating of the original manuscripts in question is a...

This is an interesting topic. My question about celebrating Christmas is are you celebrating the birth of Jesus or are you observing pagan beliefs? Truly God knows the intention of your heart. If it is you can celebrate Christmas with a clear conscience let no man judge you, but if it is you...

God is love, His command is to love. Exhortation to be changed to love. Attitudes and emotions play a large role in the reality of creation. Thoughts take seat in our disposition and world views help shape our actions. Be us transformed by the renewal of our minds and decide to be hands...

Aspen, Love is the absolute that exists always. Romans 9 Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? 22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with...

I am torn on this subject. To think of how Jesus might feel... some Protestants speak of His mother and I am shamed, some Roman or Orthodox worship her and I fear for their salvation, Father have mercy on us... yet in God CHRIST, for His namesake and His glory! She is blessed amongst women...

3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes...
