    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    I've actually come to the conclusion that what the world wants, is the glory they saw on the cross. Like there is a scramble in Hell, to be like Jesus, before the suffering starts. Weird right?

    Just a word of advice: schizophrenia is much more manageable, if you aim less at change and more at consistency

    It's just a way of falling out of touch with reality, but then reaffirming your connection to it at a later stage. Everyone might believe A and trust B, but the schizophrenia does not believe A and struggles to trust B while there is still time (that's what I meant by ABC BCD). The Devil takes...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    No, its just a fact, that in innocence (obtained by forgiveness) the two are distinct. Salvation is a down-payment, on what we are called to do. Faith is accepting the payment (and being diligent to justify it).

    A mature Christian, makes work a priority (selah). Discuss.

    Just to be clear: if we have faith, we either make work a priority or we make work a great priority. That's our choice.

    This is a sign in Heaven: see if you can guess what it is? (Suggestions?)

    Hi there! There is a spiritual breakthrough happening in my life, right now: I wonder if you can guess what it is? Can you guess the sign? It's like the sign given Daniel, also like the sign of Jonah. It's powerful and it's free. What are your thoughts?

    In Heaven we can't tell what our sin was, even if we wanted to (and that's the way we liked it)

    Hi there! So there are plenty of people in this world, who have sinned to the point, that they would rather be in Heaven, but they don't know why - that's what preachers with a word of knowledge from the Lord are for! They (these people) honestly would die for someone to make clear what the sin...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    The problem is that once you have received God's grace, it's better to get going. Just sitting on a definition isn't going to bring God to a dying world. If you know that faith worked, make having worked a priority. Come to me a thousand times saying "I have faith" and I am going to say "make...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    If faith is a work, how great is that work? If Salvation is by grace, how great is that grace? We are not bound to one or the other.

    The End is Better than it's Beginning

    I Just wanted to point out, that the OP is right: Ecclesiastes says "better is the end of a thing, than the beginning thereof" (from memory)

    Reasoning with God and the value of a Christian forum

    I like reasoning about God, too. Something that always vexed me was the idea that "God knows you, better than you knew yourself" I have reasoned a lot about that (and actually I think God is on my side, He doesn't want people knowing Him better than He knew Himself!). A lot of the time I come...

    The Day of the Lord, perfects the teaching and remembrance of the Holy Spirit (selah)

    Hi! Wow! So I couldn't hold on to this without sharing, because it completely fired me up in the Spirit: We should be ready to stand, for the Lord, no matter how He requites our focus and attention. There is nothing we can focus on in this life, for which the Lord will not have an answer...

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    More mutation, for the same selection pressure, bears nothing - that's what I was trying to say.

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    It bears telling that something the Gentiles won't receive is "more mutation". If you take a mutation and try to mutate it, you don't find your Evolution is more empowered, you find that your Evolution is consistently as rejected. You don't find that adaptations compound, with the pressure to...

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    Right and if we keep from making our salvation a question of works, then our works will be greater. It's just a direct consequence - first the faith, then the works.

    Can I advertise (in a post) on this website?

    An answer with patience, is far better than a word with no answer.
  16. G

    Is believing/faith a work ?

    Yes, but maturely: what does that mean? Which works? If the anti-Christ accused you of failing to defend the faith, would you say "works aren't necessary for me to be saved"? Or would you say "the faith is its own defence"?

    This word helped me, thank you.

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    As long as you believe something, without giving other people a choice, you (your soul) gets sick. It's not wrong to focus someone on the choice you are giving them, but leaving them with no way out, makes you ill (physically ill). In this we must model Christ, that we go to the cross, where...

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    Balance will vary, but commitment will grow (selah) Which of these is more important to Evolution? You may never get more than more balance from balance, but the soul says "Grow!"? Varying your commitment, may create more integrity - trust that!

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    Part of working this out (the balance between Creation and Evolution) is identifying how we come into agreement, with what was already professed to have been coming. We are predetermined, in God, that can't change; but our agreement with how we are predetermined, does change. This is a mystery...
