    Who are the DEAD in CHRIST WHO RISE FIRST?

    Greetings Vickie, About the term "dead in Christ", the Bible says "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" (2Co 5:6) Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:(2Co 5:7) (For we walk by faith, not by...

    Love Versus Individualism

    Greetings again Bibliocentrist, There are a number of ways to study Scripture and for this reason commentaries vary as to the meaning and purpose of the messages of the Bible. The whole book method looks at a passage in the context of the rest of the Biblical book it is part of. Knowing the...

    What Does The Word Baptize Mean?

    My personal conviction is that baptism should be at the choice of the individual, and by full immersion, but I realise the dangers of being legalistic about this. Given that the Greek meaning of "baptiso" is "to immerse" I do not regard the sprinkling of infants, children, and adults as true...

    this link needs its own thread

    Made me think about waiting for things to ripen and mature in God's plan. Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hastes toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.

    Gay Clergy Get The Episcopal Okay

    The seeds of corruption have produced weeds among the wheat.Now is the time for apostasy to blossom.The fruit of evil will set and ripen as politics and religion attempt to set themselves above the holiness of God.Saints of the narrow way who uphold the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ will...

    Ghosts And Poltergeists Do They Exist ?

    Yes, the so-called "supernatural" or "paranormal" dimensions do exist. Ephesians 5:8-11 says we are to walk as children of light, proving what is acceptable to the Lord, having no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reproving them. Ephesians 6:12 should be enough to warn...

    Omnipotence

    QUOTE (good times @ May 10 2009, 09:54 PM) Wasnt aware predestination was a belief of Christianity, always thought of it to go hand in hand with Calvinism. If everything, including the fall of man and the deliverance of mankind, is predestined as you assume why not take the existential attitude...

    QUOTE (Denver @ May 10 2009, 01:10 PM) There is a problem with OSAS, and it is the very same one that plagued it when the doctrine first arose.No one can walk around and say "I am saved." because God is the judge, period -- end of story -- I am not fit to make the call on even my own salvation...

    Omnipotence

    QUOTE (good times @ May 9 2009, 03:54 PM) Omnipotence is all knowing, all powerful, all seeing, all everything. To say that an omnipotent God, who created everything in the universe from nothing as he saw fit, gave us "free will" to choose for ourselves is contradictory to the definition of...
