    Don't call yourself a Christian when you live like the world.

    It is true that some who claim they are Christians, have not been born again ... yet. I wouldn't worry about them. They are either in the Book of Life or they are tares/ reprobates whom Satan has placed in the church. Nothing and no one can snatch the ones God has chosen out of His hands. By...

    Proclaiming the Word Means?

    If it only stated "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God", then the literal word (as in the fullness of the truth expressed) could be discerned to mean that. But the rest of the verse clearly states, "and the Word was God". Furthermore, in vs. 14, more confirmation is given...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    The Spirit is fully God. Why would you think anyone could possibly deny God of anything? The Spirit is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. He is in pure unity with the Father and the Son. God is Spirit, God is One. More warped thinking. Where do you get this junk theology? From the...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    We try to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. God makes us holy, we don't, nor can we. Jesus washed away our sins. AS in Acts 2, we are baptized by the Holy Spirit and are born again. He gives us spiritual gifts. Jesus will return and dwell there during the Millennial Kingdom. You are...

    Proclaiming the Word Means?

    Jesus is the Word. You seem to be asking if Jesus is anything other than the Messiah and a scripture that proclaims it? The whole New Testament proclaims the various titles and attributes of Jesus. The specific message to the Jews was that he was the Messiah, the Savior, that the Old Testament...

    Trump v. White House, Senate, Congress, DOJ, FBI, & Mainstream Media

    Is your life better now than it was in 2019 - before the Pandemic? 2016 - 2019 were probably the most prosperous years in history for everyone, blacks, Hispanics included. We were energy independent, the economy was great, unemployment the lowest and the borders were safe. Now we are...

    Trump v. White House, Senate, Congress, DOJ, FBI, & Mainstream Media

    If we are on the precipice of the Great Tribulation (or as I suspect, in it), the Antichrist is ruling, only he has not been revealed yet. Klaus Scwab, Gates, a Rothschild ... ??? Therefore, it is prophesied that Satan is given a short time to rule through this Antichrist, 3 1/2 years. This NWO...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    Interesting discussion. I think you answered many questions without knowing you did. You speak all the right words but it seems you don't know the full spectrum of their meaning. First of all, God makes us holy. We can't and we don't, but we cooperate. You said it yourself, the Holy Spirit...

    Proclaiming the Word Means?

    It is just proclaiming the truth about Jesus, who He is, the Way, the Truth and the Life, the Messiah, the Savior, and what He had to offer. So in a sense that is proclaimed throughout the New Testament.

    Don't call yourself a Christian when you live like the world.

    I never said it shouldn't be taught. It is crucial and fundamental. The wages of sin is death and that is what we are saved from. We need to understand what it is. God gave us the Ten Commandments to understand what sin is. When we break a commandment, we sin. There are other ways of putting...

    Don't call yourself a Christian when you live like the world.

    We are all sinners and I need rebuke if I do. Iron sharpens iron. I do feel guilty about not being a big giver like my wife. She's got a gift, is a servant, gives of herself unselfishly. For years when the Pastor would ask for volunteers I would not readily raise my hand - always had an excuse...

    Don't call yourself a Christian when you live like the world.

    So, can people get excited about going to church so that you can feel guilty and sad ... with a mean spirited Pastor who has lost his love and doesn't have a clue what happiness is because he's so serious and legalistic and more concerned about the old self that was supposed to have died...

    Don't call yourself a Christian when you live like the world.

    I can close my eyes and hear the spirit of love and joy. We are to be inspired as well as taught. We are to be lifted up to the Throne of heaven, not brought down to a pit of despondency. If a preacher has no joy, doesn't smile and even laugh at times, that says something about that person. I...

    Don't call yourself a Christian when you live like the world.

    Oh brother, sin is important to discuss. We are to hate sin, be aware if it in our own lives. But Jesus ties care of our sin, and I comfort in that. I do not need to sit in a church while a mean spirited preacher casts a guilt trip on everyone to the point of making you feel like you are not...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    Right, what does the Son of God mean if not that Jesus is of the same nature, God. We are all adopted sons of God, not begotten.

    Born again

    By Dr. Michael Rudolph (Associate Rabbi of Ohev Yisrael, Northern Virginia) with Dr. Daniel C. Juster.. These Messianic Jewish scholarships may understand lots about life, how to live, God and the Bible. I have not read the book. However, you cut and pasted section A12 on Being Born Again and...

    Born again

    NO IT IS NOT THE COMMON SCHOLARLY REFERENCE TO CHILDBIRTH! JESUS IS SPEAKING OF A SPIRITUAL BIRTH, IN WHICH GOD CREATES A NEW CREATURE. Wow, you are searching. All physical births, and why not add on all of creation is from God above. Neither one of these views is in the ball park. Born again...

    Is Reincarnation baloney?

    Wow, that's almost 200 million.

    Is Reincarnation baloney?

    It would be interesting to travel India to interview and give a witness to Hindus. Christianity is spreading with over 100 million there now but most of the billion + people are Hindus or Buddhists. It is sad to see suffering people, like the "Untouchables" live in the middle of a somewhat...

    No Denomination named... Evidence Presented... You Decide

    “And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.” Matt. 23:9 Yet several scriptures address our parents, fathers etc. I always called mine, Dad. I wonder where they got that? I guess traditionally, they thought they were spiritual fathers, especially if...
