This is a forum dedicated to Christian discourse. (It's a forum, with the title Christian in it.) If you don’t find value in this topic, @bdavidc, I respect your viewpoint. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on what you believe should or shouldn’t be considered. Personally, I don’t view...

@marks, this is why I rarely bring up the topic of sin—it often feels unnecessary. In my view, most individuals are fully aware of their actions, even in altered states due to substance use. The focus placed on sin can become excessive, especially considering that, according to Christian belief...

I used to be really hard on myself—again and again. But I don’t do that anymore. There’s no need to keep punishing myself just for recognizing the things I might be tempted by. These days, I simply make a choice: I either walk away from it, or I engage with it knowingly. The truth is, nothing...

Perhaps there is something I forget too, the spiritual hardness, spiritual deadness, spiritually constrained, is not a good place to be compared to being made spiritually alive in Christ. @Jay Ross, Something you said also reminds me of these things on another thread. The state of the hardened...

Thank you for your comments @One 2 question. You can really see how Jesus interacted with the Pharisees in his time—he consistently pointed them back to worshiping the Father in spirit and in truth. Sadly, many of them had grown spiritually hardened, focusing more on strict rule-keeping than on...

Subject who were the 10 commandments given to? In Deuteronomy 5, Moses calls the people of Israel to hear and obey God’s statutes. The Ten Commandments were delivered directly by the Lord at Horeb—not to their ancestors but to the current generation—with God speaking from the fire on the...

Hi Bdavidc, I'm simply exploring conceptual possibilities. For instance, Ozzy Osbourne was once regarded as the "God of Rock and Roll"—a title that reflected the cultural reverence surrounding his influence. Similarly, the Pharisees could be seen as emblematic of spiritual authority (god of...

Thank you for sharing your response @VictoryinJesus Maybe some others may respond. It does seem Satan when he tempted job, It’s the same picture of Jesus when he was being tempted by Satan. But some speculate if that was the Jewish people at that time and in that day. Offering him...

See the old ways be tough and bust a person in the lip to prove a point. Thats a bunch of fleshly nonsense. Debates don’t do nothing either. Just flesh trying to please itself. That’s why I cut ties and just use ignore on this website. I’m only accountable to myself and what I do with my own...

I see, Duckie. It reminds me of how Jesus learned and read the old testament scrolls. Thank you for sharing a bit more of what you meant.

There are people who bully other people though. See the problem isn’t just walking away. The problem is controlling. I’m not Paul. And also I don’t have to have to rebuke or correct anyone. I can share my thoughts, opinions or perspectives but when people start to down play me personally or...

Is it possible to lose salvation? People have the choice to welcome God into their lives—or to turn away and reject His presence entirely. Revelation describes a Kingdom of Heaven: some enter in, while others remain outside. It’s a matter of choice. That’s the simple truth.

Here are some Bible verses that may be helpful to consider regarding personal boundaries: Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) states, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it". This verse emphasizes protecting your inner self, including thoughts, emotions, and intentions, as they...

✨ Key Benefits of Personal Boundaries Self-Respect: You affirm your needs and values, which boosts confidence and self-worth. Emotional Balance: Boundaries help prevent resentment, guilt, or emotional exhaustion from constantly overextending yourself. Better Relationships: When both sides know...

I hate, gaslighting people. People are allowed to use the functions of the board, for benefit. Setting boundaries online isn’t about being cold or distant—it’s about protecting your well-being while staying connected. Here’s why those digital lines matter: Benefits of Online Boundaries...

People will cause harm to others... And they think they are doing a great thing for God. And especially if they disagree with someone. They desire to slam their head in the lockers. It's all fleshly, it's nothing of the spirit.

I have you on ignore. You have to live your life without me in it. All the best.

The truth of that matter is they can read for themselves. If you want to teach the bible I think that is great! I love the bible and its helpful resources, and I encourage people to continue to read that but make sure it doesn't get in the way of worshiping in spirit and in truth the Father...

@GodsGrace, would you not say your currently being malicious to me, saying things like I don't know anything about Christianity or forums?

I never called you stupid. But you are being very frisky. There are people on this board that desire to be malicious. Just because the word "Christianity" is on the website, doesn't mean everyone really is truly living by the Spirit. There some people who actually love to try to cause harm to...
