    Is love more important than faith?

    Our apprehension, or misapprehension as the case may be, of the character or nature of God directly and proportionately affects how much we believe His promises toward us, and toward others. Ironically, many believe God will be good to others, but not to themselves.

    Can Covid-19 spark a revival?

    Ummm, what happened to repentance, holy living, and glorifying God through our development of a Godly character? Let me remind you of scripture..."seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, then....". Christians, particularly in these last days, need to have our priorities right.

    Can Covid-19 spark a revival?

    I agree. But will all Christians recognise it? Perhaps even oppose it???!!!

    Is love more important than faith?

    As @Taken said, God is love. That doesn't simply mean that God loves. Or that He is loving. Love is who God is. Love is His very nature... His character. He doesn't do anything that isn't motivated from that character of love. The purpose of the gospel is to make of mankind a sanctuary for the...

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    KJV 1 Timothy 3 15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. What does this scripture actually say Mary,? That the church is the pillar and ground of truth... Or...

    “Take no thought”, “be not anxious”, “seek you the reign of God”

    As is reading @Heart2Soul post,I was thinking exactly along those very lines. It is certain that God desires all to come to Him by faith and He is not willing that any should perish... But yes, I agree with you, that with most of us there needs to be a complete emptying of self first. Self...

    Due to exceptional circumstances...

    Only if Jesus checks it out with the church first. I think with a little searching one will find not a few declarations by past Popes that they have the keys to heaven courtesy of God... Not sure if those are the master keys or a screw driver and a piece of wire.

    Due to exceptional circumstances...

    ... And what is now considered "grave necessity", the pope, out of the goodness of his heart, has granted permission for Catholics to confess sins directly to God. Wow. This virus has a silver lining after all.

    Trial run... Or the real thing?

    The church is Israel. Compare your verse above with what Jesus warned when He said we shall be hated of all Nations for My name's sake.

    Trial run... Or the real thing?

    My friend. I am not suggesting that covid 19 is a part of the plagues or a part of the final judgement. No, that is yet to come. But are those birth pangs increasing in intensity? You betcha. Increasing in frequency? Absolutey. The beginning of sorrows? Yeap. You see I have an idea of where we...

    Trial run... Or the real thing?

    I am certain the world will never be the same again. Superficially perhaps, for a short time, but you know the verse. "And they cried peace and safety, but sudden destruction..."

    Trial run... Or the real thing?

    Hi @Keraz . Sorry about the video not working... Here's another attempt... As you listen, you will understand where I am coming from and why I asked the question...

    Covid 19... Not the main concern.

    Allow me please to offer you some comfort regards teachers or preachers dealing with the subject of secret societies...I know you said most are not, and perhaps you are right... But you must admit it is a very controversial topic, and specialised. Very few have the knowledge or expertise to do...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    The very fact that you believe the Antichrist is future is sufficient evidence you have trampled upon the testimony of the reformers who all agreed that the papal system was the Antichrist. Although it must be said that some considered the pope himself, or the office, and thus the succession of...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    Those of you rejecting the day/year principle are trampling upon centuries of testimony that accurately identified the papacy as Antichrist. Every Protestant reformer from the time of Wickliffe and Tyndale to William Miller and others around the world recognised that the 1260 years, which could...

    Covid 19... Not the main concern.

    So since my first post, things have escalated exponentially. In less than a week. Entire countries have now shut down. Cities under martial law... And if you disagree with that last statement go outside with some friends and throw some hoops. The economy has ground to a virtual standstill...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    Not prophetic. The year day principle only applies to project where the time factor is symbolic.

    Can Covid-19 spark a revival?

    A better appreciation of the character of God and more understanding of His ways would help you in understanding that God does not act as a tyrant and send plagues to destroy people, unless there is no possible road to repentance such as the flood and Sodom and Gomorrah. In this case I believe...

    The False Doctrine of a 7-year Tribulation

    Antiochus was not a horn or a kingdom. A Horn of a beast is never taken for a single person, but signifies a new kingdom. The "four horns" of the He-goat were "four kingdoms" (Daniel 8:22). Antiochus was merely one of a line of kings and not a separate kingdom. Hence he was merely a part of one...
