Hi there! So basically, I keep reaching a point where I realise "no, God did not want me to just have faith; if I had: I wouldn't have produced the fruit He wanted" I am sort of the lever between God and the world, but I can't function as the lever, if I have been burned - so God puts me under...

The importance of this idea, is that you keep being grateful, to the end. He who is grateful to the end, is worthy of greatest things. I am grateful for the Messenger that lead me to faith, and will be to the end of my days.

I really feel that that is going to be one of the major works of the Holy Spirit, this century.

That's what happens if the Love is cold. It's possible to be spiritually cold, without losing love.

I think diversity of doctrine, is supposed to give you a choice - as someone said "you can trust Calvinism or you can trust Armenianism". We are moving into the Age of the Holy Spirit, I suppose there will be doctrinal divisions regarding that, as well. What is missing is "how does doctrine...

I sort of get the idea that there is compassion at the heart of this diagram (people being ministered to during the tribulation), but then you just sort of tested yourself "how much of what I know about prophecy, can I add to this diagram"? What exactly are you looking forward to yourself...

Something I like seeing is Mormons going about the place; I always feel like "Yes, the Lord is near!"

Go easy on him! There are a lot of factors to juggle, when you are relying on the witness of one messenger (ultimately, that is, we haven't yet understood the Holy Spirit's thinking on prophecy)

The Devil frequently jabs me, saying "those people who kicked you off their forum deserve Hell" and I remember the rejection and it really hurts. I'm not sure what the answer is; they could have given me pointers on how to communicate better, but they didn't - whose fault is that? I'm just...

My thoughts on this have changed, recently: in the beginning, our doctrine was incomplete - because even though Christ was there, we did not trust Him. When we came to faith, after the beginning, we were given "hope" of completion, but not the entire substance of it - that is, our doctrine...

Imagine the banquets in Heaven? All God can eat!

People are saved by faith, not justified; encouraged by works, but not completed separate from Christ; inspired by word, but not attendant to anyone but God.

Hi there, Pleasing So I have really nailed what it is that confuses me, when people say "without faith you can't please God" and "you can't achieve salvation by works": their sentiment is respectable, and their earnestness admirable, but there is a problem with the way, in which they give no...

One is Heavenly, one is Earthly.

Whether one believes or not, God is still God by faith. The importance of this, is that God's faith, is able to amplify ours.

I've never heard that before, how interesting!

You have to grow into a sinner - babies are innocent of that.

Hi there, Introduction to Madness Imagine if you will, that you have dealt with sin and no longer have need of being tempted; you understand that with perfection comes the temptation to be irrational and you have a ready word, with which to defend yourself (from the Devil's attacks). Then the...

I made it simpler with subtitles. The difficulty was in getting from "Diversity and Jesus" to "Transitioning Diversity". (and I'm not sure I emphasized Transitioning Diversity enough) The point is "diversity is nothing new" but "diversity is also an opportunity for something great"

Hi there, Background So what has become apparent to me, after reading the thread "Why are you a Christian?" that we all have a diverse opinion, of Christ and His saving grace. It has also become apparent to me, in part after reading the thread "Would you surrender your own beliefs, for...
