    Signs wonders etc today

    I heard of a prayer healing just today in Church (with many witnesses). A young couple in the church were to have a baby, it was diagnosed in the womb as having serious pending defects and at minimum would be born blind, at the number one hospital in the state (in Portland, OR). The family...

    What we are now suppose to be doing--Jesus repeated over and over...

    "Strong delusion"--as it is written--is rightly described as affecting "most", or "many", or "some people." Your keen ear and ability claim is false.

    What we are now suppose to be doing--Jesus repeated over and over...

    Yes. By definition, Jesus went "to the Father" (as He said), and since then has returned "in the glory of His Father" (in spirit) (as He said), and Christians who say they have Christ even in them deny that He has "come" (as He said), and look for Him to come in a way He said He would "not...

    What we are now suppose to be doing--Jesus repeated over and over...

    Yeah, we see that, even here, a lot. But in general, in churches, in the Christian community...it's like most have just settled in for the worldly church experience, just happy to have that salvation card in their pocket. It's what boredom looks like under a veil of facebook-style facade. Many...

    What we are now suppose to be doing--Jesus repeated over and over...

    Wow...where you been, in a cave? No, I know better, you've been here all along making snide remarks like that because I am not exempt, but you didn't like what the Spirit said and I revealed...many times. The point is Jesus gave us a seek and hear the Spirit send off, and most just want to play...

    Conversation with An Atheist

    Unbeknownst to most...God didn't create this universe, this existence, as we think of creating something. The whole reason there is a book involved and "it is written" is such a theme--is because that better describes what He has done. It's like He wrote a book of what "was" in Him, then made it...

    Conversation with An Atheist

    When I first read the Bible, I read it from cover to cover in a week, and I'm slow. Maybe your approach is just too part time. As for things like people living nearly a thousand years--we're talking about God--anything is possible. But you should also notice repetitions of things, things that...

    Yeah, some are right there with Hollywood.

    What If the False Teacher Sounds Like a Man of God?

    That is all very good, but it lacks one thing: That approach is not unlike that of those who crucified Christ, for their approach also was by the letter and word alone, and lacked the Spirit of truth. But you make lots of good points and cite many good passages that we would all do well to...

    Young rich ruler not saved, why ?

    I did not "deviate", but gave an image of what that would look like if the analogy were played out. And your analogy is fine...even if one takes the wheel if appointed, as Paul said, "for me, to live is Christ." The problem then, is the belief that WE must give the plane wings, as if that were...

    Young rich ruler not saved, why ?

    I am not "trying" anything. But your analogy shows you wrong, as if you mean to captain the plane yourself, as if everyone in the plane needs to take the wheel. But no--being in the plane ('in Christ") is deliverance to the same destination--eternal life, which is the kingdom of God.

    Young rich ruler not saved, why ?

    No, it is not a "deviation", but you rather are reverting back to the Law and Commandments as savior--which saves not. Only One has kept the Law and Commandments, and it is only "in Him" that anyone can be saved. Contrary to what you have presented, the context is Jesus as "Master" as the ruler...

    Who are the Saved?

    None of these things are actually debatable--and Jesus turning over the tables before the Temple was just the opening act. Now instead of one nation and people, how many more are we, each with tables of offerings? Which comes to every generation in their time, not by observation, even so, with...

    Who are the Saved?

    Oh Episkopos, you are dividing what God has joined together! Indeed, God has and is dividing the light from the darkness, but both "mercy and truth" are of the Light. So, what you have assembled is off in the weeds of many speculation doctrines. That difference or duality that you are basing...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    You have not been listening for some time now, so that's enough ("He who is wrong, let him be wrong still"). You obviously do not know how Jesus fulfills the "cut him in two" prophecy...even though I told you how. As for what I "think"--you wrongly assume and accuse, for I have said nothing of...

    What Christian thinker has influenced you the most?

    Pastor Billy Rieder influenced me to leave (claimed that his seminary teaching was more true than the Bible). So I (we) did.

    Biblical Support For Soliciting Prostitutes

    Looks like some need to look closer at Psalm 6:26: Pro 6:26 For H3588 by means of H1157 a H802➔ whorish H2181 woman ➔H802 a man is brought to H5704 a piece H3603 of bread: H3899 and the adulteress H802 H376 will hunt H6679 for the precious H3368 life...

    Biblical Support For Soliciting Prostitutes

    Three things named does not make them good, but revealed.

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    You have cited the origins of the cutting in two, but I have cited the fulfillment by Jesus, involving the born again. As for what Christians believe in this life effecting being with God in heaven, it is not what one believes that "defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a...
