    Why Christians Disagree

    Illogical to you. Not to God or to His people. Yes, I know. And I know God exists, and I know Jesus Christ is God the Son and Saviour. A believer doesn't stop believing. It is not in his power to do so. So, yes, that would make you a liar. Ive listened to atheists for years whine...

    Why Christians Disagree

    Yup. Evidence and proof are the same thing. You are requiring evidence, you are requiring proof. Apparently no amount of evidence proves to you anything. Such is the reasoning of the atheist. He calls and demands proof, yet there is never enough to persuade. This is what I told you...

    Why Christians Disagree

    It doesn't matter that it is circular. That is the way it is. That it is circular means it is fool proof. No one gets there by any other way. It is the reason the believer believes. The believer cannot stop being a believer. God has given it to him to believe. If I am tortured to...

    Why Christians Disagree

    There is no difference. Wanting evidence is wanting proof. Really? So the Christian is worshiping God? Actually that is a standard statement of atheists. " I will believe when credible evidence is shown". But, actually that is a lie. If Jesus Christ appeared before you, you wouldn't...

    Why Christians Disagree

    The difference is that I believe because God has given it to me to believe. You, and other non-believers just like you, always like to mock the Christians faith. Liken it to silliness and belief in santa clause or whatever. And if it were of ourselves, it would be silliness. But it is...

    Struggling with same-sex attraction (I need help)...

    That you have come to realize that homosexuality is a sin is good. For, until one recognizes they are a sinner, they don't see any need for a Saviour. And that is your need at this time. I realize your concern is real over your situation. But, there is no solution without Jesus Christ...

    When to look for the rapture of the church

    That temple hasn't been built yet, so it hasn't been cast down by God. Stranger

    When to look for the rapture of the church

    Recognizing a figure of speech, when a figure of speech is used in the Bible is not interpreting the Bible figuratively or spiritually. So, if God gives the plans for the millennial Temple in (Ez. 40-46), and it's function, what makes it a golden calf? Just because it is made of material...

    When to look for the rapture of the church

    I haven't said anything about Egypt. Yes, God is Spirit. (Rev. 11:15) "...The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall dreign for ever and ever." If God desires and commands someone to build a Temple, then it means everything. It is...

    When to look for the rapture of the church

    Well, the stones were thrown down in 70 A.D. The Church is now the 'lively stones' of which is built the temple on earth today, a spiritual house. Of which Jesus Christ is the Corner Stone and a Stumbling Stone. (2 Peter 2:5-6) But there will be a day when the temple will be built again...

    Why Christians Disagree

    You have been asking for evidence and proof throughout this thread. I have believed in God and Christ because He is true. Faith in God and Christ is not comparable to your faith that there is no God. It is not comparable to the scientist's faith who claims there is no God because he...

    Why Christians Disagree

    The evidence is not for you. It is for the believer. It doesn't matter if you disagree or not. As I said, I don't care how circular it is. I didn't say God is real because I believe in Him. I said God is real and He has given me the faith to believe in Him. God is real or He isn't...

    When to look for the rapture of the church

    Because I believe the Rapture is taught in Scripture then it of course plays a role in helping define other events in Scripture. But, not everything I hold to rests on the Rapture. I could just as easily say of you and others, because you can't explain certain things in Scripture, you must...

    Why is it spiritual and not material? Stranger

    When to look for the rapture of the church

    Just because something is 'material' doesn't mean it is not of God. Look at (Ezekiel 40-46). There you have the drawings for the millennial Temple which is yet to be built. It will be made of earth and stone. But, it will be of God. Stranger

    When to look for the rapture of the church

    The Church serves as the temple on earth today. This consists of every born-again believer. The Spirit of God dwells there. When the Church is removed at the Rapture, that temple is gone. This paves the way for God to begin again with Israel, and the rebuilding of the third temple. It is...

    When to look for the rapture of the church

    I believe I referred to it in post #(89). I recognize we today are the temple of God and are living stones making up that temple. I do not see that as the third temple built in Jerusalem where the abomination of desolation will be set up. Stranger

    Why Christians Disagree

    I am not trying to prove to you that God exists. Where did you get that? I am not required to prove to you God exists. I am required to give the gospel to all that I can. The Christians faith, my faith, is itself a gift from God. We believe. Why? Only because God has opened our eyes...

    Why Christians Disagree

    Didn't I show you. Our faith is the evidence. You are looking for evidence for our faith, but our faith is the evidence because it is given to us from God. (Heb. 11:1) Stranger
