    The Pope Said It's Better to Be An Atheist

    Bible says it would have been better for them to have not known the ways of righteousness, than to know it and reject it... Anyway Francis is scandalous.

    Having begun in the Spirit

    Right. Taking captive every thought to bring it into conformity with the mind of Christ. I want to do this more but it feels like I have bad thoughts that come into my mind and I feel defiled just by thinking them.

    Having begun in the Spirit

    I don't see anything lovely or redeemable about myself, even though I'm redeemed by Christ. Earlier in my walk I felt less condemnation than I do now. It's like I'm going backwards. I learn more about how depraved and lacking I am as time goes on.

    Having begun in the Spirit

    I was reading through Galatians 3 and it says: Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? So here's the thing... I believe I am born again and am indwelt with the Holy Spirit which compels me to try to mortify the deeds of...

    Real Christians Stand up and Condemn the LBGT, Transgender Abomination.

    This is a warning against hypocrisy. It is possible to judge rightly. We are called to discern good from evil and act accordingly. Hebrews 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. The bible condemns fornication constantly...

    Real Christians Stand up and Condemn the LBGT, Transgender Abomination.

    Because you said- I don't believe I was. Still, are you saying we are to condemn others whom we think will refuse to come out of their sin? Because I don't think we can know 100% if someone will repent or not.

    Real Christians Stand up and Condemn the LBGT, Transgender Abomination.

    If we're talking about LGBT youth who have Christian parents yet lack a solid relationship with the Lord, then no, I think throwing them out is far more likely to make them resentful towards Christianity and Christians than it is to make them want to seek Christ. If we're talking about those...

    Real Christians Stand up and Condemn the LBGT, Transgender Abomination.

    And these leaders and their churches are in grave error, but we should not be there to cast final judgement on them because there is always the chance that God will bring some of them to knowledge of truth.

    Real Christians Stand up and Condemn the LBGT, Transgender Abomination.

    Well, nobody knows for sure if another is irredeemable. We should not give up on others, especially our children, just because they are in a season of sinning. God may call them out of it. Our job is to be there to support them when that happens.

    Real Christians Stand up and Condemn the LBGT, Transgender Abomination.

    Yes, homosexuality and LGBT is a perversion of the sexual union God intended for us. I just want to caution that it is an unchristian thing to do to kick out a son or daughter for being LGBT or to no longer support them if they are in need. Since we are supposed to be Christ's ambassadors to the...

    Sweden microchipping people

    @Malsi Si Live That's an interesting take and thank you. I'm still not getting why you would replace "he" with "it" though, so I'll stick with KJV personally.

    Sweden microchipping people

    Well, if we read Revelation 13:16-17 in a literal sense, then that is what it's saying. Think of it as a physical acceptance of a Spiritual concept that by taking is a step further over a fixed line in God's sight.

    Sweden microchipping people

    I think this is a topic that needs to be discussed in all churches. Pastors need to be informed and they should be informing their congregations about this development in the world. People are getting a chip in their hands that allows them to pay for things and navigate the world. I'm not going...

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    I don't think hearing from God is necessarily a skill that can be developed, (if you do A then X happens, etc..) I think it has more to do with the Holy Spirits choice to interact and enlighten us. But we should still always be seeking

    How do you hear the "still, small, voice"?

    This is great way to stay reminded of all the things, big and small, that God does for us day to day. Highly recommend everyone to do this

    Judging according to Paul

    1 Corinthians 2:15 But he who is spiritual judges all things... Then Paul says 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes... What is Paul talking about and why does this sound like a contradiction?
