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

    In times like these where people are dying from the coronavirus, it is a good opportunity to present the gospel of Christ. As Christian believers we are in a strong position, because we are not afraid of the virus as some are. This is because we know that absence from the body is to be present...

    Why do we need priests?

    Very true! What does the Scripture say: "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him" (1 John 5:14-15). The challenge...

    Heresy within Christianity

    All these disciplines of science have two areas: Operational science (how things work), historical science (how things happened), and origin science (what we believe might have happened). LOL! reminds me of the three people in an event. Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and...

    The Resurrection

    Usually, when I am asleep, I have no sense of time, and it seems that I wake up the instant I fall asleep. It usually happens when I have a late night and have to get up in the morning. I put my head on the pillow and the next thing - not "Good morning Lord", but "Good Lord! Morning!" It came...

    Heresy within Christianity

    Doesn't answer my question. Something billions of years ago is in the region of belief and faith and not through the scientific method of direct observation and experimentation. It has been shown the oil and fossil records resulted from a global cataclysmic flood and upheaval of the earth's...

    Why do we need priests?

    Faith is faith. We either have it or we don't. There can be weak or strong faith depending on how much trust we have in God's promises in the Bible. Faith is not a force in itself. There is a teaching where if a person believes hard enough, they will get what they are wanting. This is...

    Heresy within Christianity

    Nope. Not evolution. The particular type of mould doesn't change into something else. And if there are bacteria living inside the host amoeba, the bacteria is still a bacteria and the amoeba is still an amoeba, so this there is no change in either just because one is living in the other...

    Heresy within Christianity

    What I can see are the results of supernovas, and this is what the second article mentions about the gaseous clouds being the result of supernovas. The first picture shows me an already existing star surrounded by gaseous clouds. I can believe that evolutionists are interpreting, on the basis...

    Why do we need priests?

    I don't do that. All I say is what I believe. All my degree has accomplished is that I know just a little more than what I did before, so my very thin slice of the knowledge pie just got a little bigger but still is a very small fraction of what can be known. It is just that others have...

    Is this good for Christianity?

    Well, okay. I believe what he says and that is good enough for me. I don't know what you are talking about here. I don't believe in racism, because we all come from one set of parents and therefore are of one race. Mankind is made up of different language and cultural groups, and are of...

    Heresy within Christianity

    Is that the one where they showed a picture of a star being formed and showed that it was just a computer simulation and not an actual observation through a telescope? AiG maintains that no one has ever observed, through a telescope, an actual star forming, although supernovas have been...

    Covid 19... Not the main concern.

    True. But in the present situation where the present virus could be lethal to over 70 year olds, would you want to risk being a carrier of the virus and causing someone to die of it?

    Heresy within Christianity

    if you can show me through observation that a small single celled amoeba has changed into a multi-celled sea creature, that would be an example of evolution. Or if in the laboratory a bacteria can be changed into an amoeba which involves a change between one type of organism into another type...

    Heresy within Christianity

    Yep! Bring it on! This is fun! I appreciate the respectful way we are both going about this. The point of the OP, I think, was concerning the teaching of false doctrine (heresy) in the church, and I think I was the one who introduced the teaching of evolution in our Sunday schools and Bible...

    Heresy within Christianity

    Showing me an example of a lizard that changed characteristics through genetic changes but remained part of the lizard kind of animal does not prove evolution at all. What you have to show me is observable evidence that one animal kind has totally changed to another, such as an amoeba changing...

    Heresy within Christianity

    In other words, you cannot show me just one little example????

    Heresy within Christianity

    But they remained lizards. They did not change into another kind of animal. Therefore they didn't evolve at all, because evolution requires a change from one kind of animal to another, not remaining the same kind of animal with different characteristics. Bad luck. You don't get the cigar...

    Was Esau foreordained to be hated by God?

    Malachi 1:3 does not refer to Esau as the person. God loved Esau and desired to have him maintain his faith in Him. It refers to the division between the line of Esau and the line of Jacob. One generation line was moving away from the line of succession that resulted in Jesus Christ, and the...

    Denominations will never be saved !!

    I like Ken Ham on Answers in Genesis, who said that he is neither Calvinist nor Arminian. He is BOTH! He is just a Bible-believing Christian, just like you and me!

    Covid 19... Not the main concern.

    Don't worry. In times like these there will be the doom merchants who will add 1 plus 1 equals 5 and come up with all sorts of wacky stuff so they can be seen and heard. Going into isolation to prevent others being infected, or being infected yourself is just plain common sense. But we have...
