    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    The Bible itself, is helpful for us, even though it was not written directly to Wanda Yonchichvak in Germany directly. Ephesians 5:26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, Concerning the church in that day. That was too pure, without blemish, and holy...

    Who sits on the throne?

    Thank you for your contribution, @th1b.taylor. I believe so as well, I remember that in the Revelation, Yeshua states he would share the throne with his Father, so there has to be something to that. Revelation 3:21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne...

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    Hello @Ritajanice, It is that way sometimes, cause I do desire to help if it be so by the Spirit of Christ, because I do genuinely care for peoples spiritual maturity, and well being. I hope to get to live a little while longer I just don't know how much time I have left. Here lately I have...

    Who sits on the throne?

    The Throne in Heaven 4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a...

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    People are quite interesting, for sure. Proverbs 3:5 5 Trust unto Jehovah/Yahweh/Yahavah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not. It's amazing that the Old Testament mostly in any translation concludes the name of God as simply LORD. However the LORD does have a name...

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    It still doesn't look like the trinity saves anyone. Why do you think so many people spend so much time on such a doctrine? Perhaps old-fashioned tradition is what does is and does what it does. When people say you "must" doesn't always mean you "must."

    Does the trinity make people right with God?

    Hello @Ronald Nolette, People gotta read the Bible to figure it out. It’s the only thing which helps renew the mind.

    Can a person be a Christ-follower without falling in lock-step with the institutional church?

    Hello @GodsGrace, It’s Faith and love from my point of view.

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    Hello @Behold, Because of your constant persistent this why I have placed you on ignored. Hello @Bob Estey , By all means whatever you may think. I love you both and hope the best for you in your life.

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    Hello @Behold, It’s all debate my friend. Right or wrong, the scripture mentioned to Timothy was in direct correlation to the Old Testament, as he had been a young student of that Old Testament narrative. It was a reminder to him of what Jesus had mentioned in one of the Gospels of which the...

    Can a person be a Christ-follower without falling in lock-step with the institutional church?

    Hello @GodsGrace From what I’ve learned it’s faith in Yahavah that makes a person right with God. A church while people may attend is only a in-between where faith is a direct connection.

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    Hello @Behold, That was an encouraging message to Timothy concerning the Old Testament. I don’t believe they had the gospel to pass around just quite yet when that was written. Many people quote that all the time but with some contextual understanding; it applies directly to Timothy and how...

    Can a person be a Christ-follower without falling in lock-step with the institutional church?

    Hello to the reader, I’ve gotten in trouble before in church by the main man who ran it. I’ve also stood up in a church when a pastor says the more you talk about Jesus Christ the more people want to know about him; in objection saying it also makes people want to run away from you: I got up...

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    Hello @Bob Estey, How ever you feel about it. I just was curious how you reconcile those things mentioned. How people take the Bible is up to them. I do believe it was written for the benefit of the building up of spiritual faith; though some of the things within it do not apply directly to us.

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Lambano, I don’t think it might look like that; it is what his sufferings was. It would be a reflection of such things even such as being despised and a person full of sorrows. While I believe people can think what it might look like the Bible scripture show what is and Jesus lived the...

    The Bible Is Not Written To You (or is it?)

    Hello @Bob Estey, How do you reconcile scripture that relate to Israel or to certain people groups like people at Rome or at Corinth, or perhaps even those 7 churches in Asia Minor whom were told the Lord was coming soon? If it was written “to” each of us?

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    I don’t see anyone here personally as an enemy, there are many people though who truly go by their feelings, rather than truth.

    What do you think it means to be a Son or Daughter of God?

    Hello @Lambano, It would look similar to the way Christ Jesus lived. He hung out with the lowly people, he loved a good party, but he also was reviled, unliked by many all at the same time as post #2, shows concerning the sufferings he did go through, if we suffer with him, we also glory with...
