Not distinguishing faith and believing does you a disservice. I did not say faith was not a work, I qualified that it is a 'kind' of work. There are things it is compatible with and things not. Saying faith means you are no longer interested in work, is a lie. What work we do, we do for the...

No? The prodigal son quite clearly changes his mind (before he returns to his father). I appreciate you would like to be certain that you will change, but hope for what one knows is not hope.

Hi there, So in this world of entertainment we have, the gospel of Christ can sometimes be lost. Not because people want to forget the gospel, but because our relationships exist on a very shallow plane - as Jesus said "a hard field, where the birds pick and eat the grain intended for the...

Hi there! So there is a strong need, at the moment, for the world to hear the bruising, that the Lord suffered, for their iniquity. Iniquity traps the world, such that it does not think there is a way out. There is a way out: Jesus, who was bruised for our iniquities (Isaiah 53:5). What we...

The point is that the revolutions of the Earth were not fixed in length. Day One was far slower than Day Two; Day Two was far slower (but not as slow) than Day Three [and so on and so forth] The revolutions of the Earth sped up, yielding fruit as pertained to the varying speeds. The point is...

No, that's fine. There was testimony in there, that will do. Thanks for your time.

Creation is the story of Creation from the sheep's perspective; Evolution is the story of Creation from the wolf's perspective. Jesus said He was sending us out among wolves (therefore knowing a little of the wolf's perspective is instructive). What Jesus didn't say was "settle on the wolf's...

The flipside is, if you don't change, you don't expect to be received (remember the prodigal son "I am not worthy")

Hi there! This thread: you are going to feel awful about sin was posted in the Events forum. This thread needs to go in either the Theology or the Devotion forum. Thanks for your help!

Hi there, So I have sort of turned inside out, pursuing faith. I was vexed for a long time, about my sin and how to overcome it. At times I would feel fine, then at others I would be vexed; then I would feel like "I have to do something about this 'feeling'!". Eventually, thinking about the Law...

As I said earlier, faith is the spirit of a work. It cannot supplant a work; neither can it not inspire a work (an actual work). As hungry as we were for sin, so we become that much more hungry for work, when we are saved. Pointing to spiritual work (faith) is a work, but it is by no means the...

That was an interesting OP. My heart on the matter, is that I need to relinquish my power over the Law to God, to be assessed by Him what I am worthy of and what not. Once agreed, that there is something worthy to pursue - despite what is not - I need to submit to the Law that I pay the penalty...

The anti-Christ was Achan, from the Old Testament. He returned to make the riches of this world, equivalent to dirt (of no value). Every Christian that loves something in the world, therefore learns to fear the return of Achan (the anti-Christ).

The more space we give God, the more time He is able to give us! I found the OP inspiring - keep up the hope, I think that speaks to all of us!

You are mistaken? The daily sacrifices are resumed at the time of the tribulation (this requires a temple).

The comment "let the reader understand" refers to the scripture being interrupted, viz, by something foreign to the scripture.

I wonder about butterflies and moths, do Evolutionists think that they evolved on a sliding selection pressure scale? Like if you take the selection pressure to the right you get butterflies and if you take the selection pressure to the left you get moths?

The right response, at the right time - in God: what an inspiring thought!

The tribulation is overcome, the tribulation is not simply undergone.

There is no power the anti-Christ does not attempt at some point. But at every point, God punishes his pride. (So yes, to your question, but with the caveat that God will judge it).
