please tell me what you think it means to believe.

The disciples didn't know what he meant, he had to spell it out for them 'Lazarus is dead'......check the account! You have misunderstood what is being said.

Struggle is the lot of those who will love Jesus because he loved them....yes, but we have a Saviour! I will never leave you or forsake you Jesus promised....let us trust this promise..... even when we fail so often his promise holds. Let us not abandon our post or give in to discouragement. As...

Do I deduct then that your thinking reveals doubting? ....and how do you come to any conclusion without thinking? Henry Ford — 'Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it.' I would say thinking indicates the cognitive powers are active.

Who do we suppose Jesus is referring to when he says 'Fear him who after he has killed........'? is it God or is it the Devil? Who is it that has the power of death? Hebrews 2:14-15 NIV Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break...

It appears to me you have formulas for everything spiritual and if one is not jumping through your hoops (which you say are not yours but the bible's)....nice dodge; you have nothing but condemnation. I would say you have a counterfeit ministry of 'reconciliation'. It has an appearance of...

I'm glad it's not God closing the door but men!

Doctrine with integrity glorifies God. Doctrine without integrity has God appearing as a dictator; feels threatened when challenged and blames those opposed, easily.

The rule..... God does not do violence. Because vengeance is God's doesn't mean he uses it in the way we imagine or would use it. So, how does God use it? Romans 1:18-32 explains God's wrath/ vengeance.......he 'gives them over' allowing the consequences of their choices to destroy them. His...

It's a mess all over the planet, not just America. That being said, America with its great trumpet for democracy and fairness is particularly culpable.

You have written well ViJ

Another time setter amongst many re the second coming of Jesus. Right from the out set an inaccurate assumption by taking Peter's words 'one day equals a thousand years and a thousand years equals one day' out of its context. Peter was saying in his statement that time is an irrelevancy in...

Be certain that our sins will not stop God loving us....as displayed at Calvary...... but also be certain that our sins persisted in will seperate us from God, not God from us........and he will never say, yes, I love you, but you're just not good enough so burn forever!....that, is the devil...

God has forgiven you all your sins....past and present. That is the generosity and kindness of God. He has forgiven you of sins you are not even aware of. Can you believe such generosity? Such love? Let's take Judas as an example.....he didn't think he was worthy of forgiveness....so he killed...

Ahhhh, the proverbial fence! God is Love John tells us and Paul tells us that love holds no record of wrongs (1Corinthians 13:5) I hold a record of my wrongs and so does Satan and he throws them at me to discourage me.....but God doesn't. The problem isn't God, it is that we don't believe that...
