I don't mind that one, because I feel like they are trying to say God was convicting them of something. I hope no one actually thinks that's in the Bible word for word but you never know these days. A phrase that does get to me is, "God helps those who help themselves." That's not in the Bible...

Yes, they have a beautiful family now. I have understood for a long time now that the purpose of dating is for marriage. But I guess I call it dating because that is what was around me. Relationships either end in breakup or marriage, so it makes sense to be intentional if you're aiming to...

I actually know exactly what you mean. The singer, Jamie Grace did it exactly as you described and talked about it on her YouTube channel. They met, they talked with both sets of parents, and were married shortly. I am not against dating but can definitely see the benefits of doing it that way.

Are you more in favor of courtship? That's one the alternatives Ive heard of to dating. Well, that and arranged marriages.

Thank you. I feel like this used to be common sense.

I think it's particularly challenging to avoid premarital sex when dating someone seriously. I think then, it's best if you could avoid the temptation of being alone in rooms together and avoid drawing out the dating and engagement phase. If things are not moving toward marriage, end the...

It can't mean that we are to avoid everything that people in the world do---like sleeping or using the restroom. I think it means we are not to join the world in rebelling against God and His Word.

Here is how they harmonize. The Scripture about appearing with Christ in glory is a promise for those who endure with faith till the end. It is not for those who depart from the faith, as Scripture warns over and over can happen.

For the sake of argument, let's say we put all theologians, pastors, and speakers aside and were willing to bear with a bit of Scripture. What does the Bible say? 2 Peter 2:20-22 KJV 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour...

Here we go! Does this promise really apply to all who claim to be Christians? Are there not warnings in Scripture about being found in us a hardened heart of unbelief? Most importantly, if I show Scripture that refutes Eternal Security, than will you consider that it is simply a popular...

No worries. Only the flesh is the term from the Bible. Everything else I picked up on forums like these.

I'm very curious now. Why do you think they were doomed from the start?

Is it really that simple, though? What would have happened if they hadn't ate the fruit? Would they have been unclothed with Christ forever?

When you say you are a weak person, how do you mean?

Thanks, TEXBOW!

Well, my thinking is that God knew Adam and Eve would sin. But He allowed Satan to tempt them and the fall of mankind because He Himself would redeem a remnant of people, the believers, the wheat. Satan originally rebelled against God along with a third of the angels in heaven. They sow the...

In Canada, I know of one saint who lost his,job due to vaccine mandates. We prayed for him and he got another job quickly. I will pray God protects you and your family no matter what happens.

Wow, that's crazy!! Will pray right now.

I have no problem with Christianese. I do love Christian people after all. But it is funny to think about some of the terms might be confusing to ousiders. "You're speaking straight from your flesh!" "I'm Arminian but I don't speak in tongues. Im a cessationist." "I'm Reformed Protestand neo...

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
