I have run across a few individuals over the years on various Christian forum sites who believe that speaking in tongues is a necessary manifestation of the Holy Spirit and without it, a person is not truly saved. These same folks also taught that if you are water baptized in the name of the...

Above all we need to all make sure that we are ready for the return of Jesus Christ. :)

Everyone should be in agreement there will be a catching away of Christians at an appointed time. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) Whether people choose to call that event the rapture, the catching away or the great snatch, Christians will certainly be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord...

The wording of the five foolish virgins in our text is all too familiar to the reader of Matthew’s Gospel: Matthew 25:11 - "Later, the other virgins came too, saying, ‘Lord, lord! Let us in!’ 12 But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I do not know you!" Matthew 7:21 - "Not everyone who says to...

Biden needs to be focused on what is most important.

2 Corinthians 3:6 - who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look...

Amen! In Philippians 2:12, Paul said to "work out" your salvation (not to be confused with) "work for" your salvation. When we "work out" at the gym, we exercise to develop our body that we already have and not in order to get a body. Farmers "work out" the land, not in order to get the land...

America is used as a name for the United States. It's more than just a few political activists who are divided in America and I have never seen America this divided. Not in my lifetime.

In John 15:2-6, the branches that bear fruit and remain are genuine believers (like the remaining 11 disciples). The self-attached branches that bear no fruit and do not remain are not genuine believers (like Judas Iscariot - John 6:64-71; 13:10-11). In John 15:2, Jesus mentions branches that...

Oh, I see. It's a shame that America is so divided. :(

Well, under Biden, we've had record high inflation and high crime along with a border crisis which has led to an illegal immigration invasion of America, just to name a few. Under Trump, we had low inflation, a record high stock market, lower crime and a much more secure border. If it comes down...

Biden issues White House proclamation Declaring Easter to be 'Transgendrer Day of Visibility.' https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/03/biden-issues-white-house-proclamation-declaring-easter-be/

In regard to 1 John 1:9, notice that - "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9) is in contrast to - If we say that we have no sin, (present tense) we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (1...

I was out delivering mail during the 2017 eclipse and took these pictures. It got dark enough for the street lights to come on.

Exactly. Whenever these law preachers today set out to keep the sabbath day, are they truly keeping the sabbath day according to scripture? To "keep the sabbath day" as it was required in the Old Testament under the old covenant of law involved compliance with specific regulations (Exodus 16:23...

The sabbath is a sign between God and the Israelites (Exodus 31:16-17) and not once in the NT is the sabbath said to be a sign or seal for Christians. The article that I shared with you thoroughly refutes the claims of SDA's.

Colossians 2:16 - Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day— 17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

Gentiles here are not Christians but are converts to Judaism. Acts 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. 43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes...

Galatians 2:16 - knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. Philippians...
