    Should Nations Help the Sick and Poor?

    I think a lot of it is every nation for itself really. Just like every man for himself. It’s a very negative way for some to see it however that just my thoughts. I’ve heard it said before if a shooter came in the building it’s “every man for himself - run!”

    Who Are "The Common People"?

    Bible Study: When People Use Scripture to Badger Instead of Build

    1. Core Idea Some people use the Bible not to teach, encourage, or edify, but to control, correct, or provoke others. Scripture itself warns against this behavior and teaches believers how to respond with wisdom, peace, and maturity. --- 2. What “Bible‑Badgering” Really Is • Misusing...

    Sealed for a Day That Has Passed: Understanding the First‑Century “Day of Redemption” and Life in the New Covenant Age

    Jack, thank you for sharing. I genuinely wish you the best. We don’t really know each other, but I do appreciate the conversations we’ve had. That said, I need to step back from interacting with you on the forum. Our exchanges always turn into the same back‑and‑forth, and it feels disrespectful...

    Perfection or Maturity? Rethinking Matthew 5:48

    PS95, thank you for that. Your words carry a lot of truth and clarity. Love really is the center of everything God calls us to. Paul makes it unmistakable in 1 Corinthians 13 — you can have faith, knowledge, sacrifice, even martyrdom, and still miss the heart of God if love isn’t present. That’s...

    Perfection or Maturity? Rethinking Matthew 5:48

    Randy, I appreciate what you shared. You’re exactly right — Scripture never teaches sinless perfection in this life. John says plainly, “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8). Paul himself admitted he hadn’t “arrived,” but pressed on toward the...

    Sealed for a Day That Has Passed: Understanding the First‑Century “Day of Redemption” and Life in the New Covenant Age

    No one should ever believe me, or anyone else on the internet, without testing what they hear. Scripture says, “Test everything; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21). God never asked people to follow human opinions blindly — He asked them to think, discern, and seek Him. Remember to...

    Sealed for a Day That Has Passed: Understanding the First‑Century “Day of Redemption” and Life in the New Covenant Age

    Sealed for a Day That Has Passed – Page Two (With Scripture Added) 9. Why the Sealing Cannot Apply to Believers Today The assumption that every Christian is “sealed for the day of redemption” collapses when we consider the original audience, timing, and purpose of the sealing. Paul wrote to...

    Being Born again = Eternal Security

    Following Jesus isn’t as “simple” as you’re making it sound. Yes, salvation is a gift — nobody is arguing that. But Jesus Himself said that following Him involves denying ourselves, taking up our cross, remaining in Him, continuing in His word, and enduring to the end. Those aren’t small things...

    The Soul, Mind, Body, and Spirit: A Biblical Anthropology Rooted in Choice and the Righteousness of Yeshua Introduction Scripture presents humanity as a unified yet multi‑dimensional being composed of spirit, soul, mind, and body. Each part is God‑given, each has a distinct function, and each...

    End‑Times Showdown: Comparing the Five Major Christian Views

    Hello Spiritual Israelite, Okay. I understand. When I suggest what I believe concerning Jesus return it should be the closing of the Mosaic Age probably but the mosaic age concerned the Law. And to me all that was totally destroyed when Jesus returned. I hope that clears that up for you. I...
