    Is it true that the people have destiny? yes and that is to be a servant

    If you want to consider it as such Stred Heb 9:27. I will answer this no, because saying one has a destiny, is like saying that is foreordained, and they have no choice in the matter. One could go as far as to blaming God for the outcome, as being His will for an individual. I cannot see that...

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    Feel free to call me Bob, Jay. I guess you do not understand what the illustration is about, it is not about money sir. Can you give me your interpretation of what it is talking about?

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    Really? Jn 17:22 I believe Jesus sir not you. Fact is Jesus is never called Jehovah, in the Bible anyway.

    The Two Witnesses....two Men Or Two Groups Of Men?

    The two witnesses represented the saints/holy ones/anointed Christians who were on earth at the time of Jesus' enthronement.

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    You understand me correctly Jay, the parable is about Jesus leaving, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with satan.

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    I do not disagree that the two share that description sir, I simply disagree that they are the same individual. I agree with the Bible that Jehovah is God, and Jesus is His son They are first and last at different things as well Ron

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    That was an opinion Ron, I asked for scriptural support.

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    Of course the prodical son is easy to understand, but the spiritual meaning is one who has left Jehovah, and returns to Him. Jehovah will accept him with open arms. The parable of the talents may seem harsh, and so many "chirstians" believe that faith is solely what you are judged on, but that...

    'Stewards of Grace': Don't let good devotionals replace the reading of God's Word itself

    I agree, but we can learn a lot from that one verse sir. We see that God gave His son, who was the one who actually said this verse as well. So we can discern that God is not the son. We see that God did this out of Love for us. We learn that out of all of God's sons, Jesus is referred to as His...

    Many Servants-Few Lovers of God

    Yes sir, I think most people think they have a relationship with God, yet like you said, few love Him. I fully believe that I am one of His people, yet at times I personally have wondered if I actually loved Him. In fact kinda on the line of what satan said about Job, if I knew for sure that I...

    'Stewards of Grace': Don't let good devotionals replace the reading of God's Word itself

    I agree with you Al, John 3:16 is a great verse, in fact it says a lot, kinda summing up the Gospels, may I ask your take on it?

    Why does Jesus speak in Parables?

    I find parables fascinating sir, of course I like the ones better that are explained, that way there is no misunderstanding about them. I think one of my favorites is the parable of the cultivators, really showed why Jesus was rejected.

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    I am impressed Barn, matter of fact amazed. That is an exactly correct statement sir, how is it you know that? Send me a personal letter in the inbox and tell me more about your faith.

    Is an end to violence and war realistic?

    Yes sir. Those of my faith reach out to others with the good news, in hopes that the message will change their heart. We promote peace by changing one heart at a time. I would bet you believe the Word of God is alive and exerts power sir, the Bible definitely changes lives. Heb 4:12

    Secure Eternal Salvation

    See how easy life can be Ferris? Now we agree. Since you now realize that ministers are servants, and you even realize that the particular ones you spoke of serve the saints, were you aware that we (ministers) are judged by what we do to support those "saints" in their assignment?

    Wisdom - importance of understanding

    Taking into account that all who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel, I would say it is extremely important Matt. One must understand and apply the law of the Christ as individuals for salvation.
