There is a member named Davy who believes that God allows Satan to tempt us as a culling process. Consider the parable about the wheat planted where an enemy goes in and sows tares. By the end times, God will separate the wheat from the tares and create a new heavens and new earth with no more...

Let me not answer right away. Sometimes, I need to pray about what I write and how to address a question. Plus, I will watch the video, soon.

I agree. To know something is going to happen is not the same as forcing it to happen.

Hey @devin553344, hows it going?

Well, I tried. Apparently there are 1,000's of verses that, although not mentioned, are against me. Who could compete with that? I still don't agree with the Voice's rendering of Acts 17:31. But if you really want us to focus on that verse to the exclusion of, well, 1,000's of others, then...

I'm too awesome! I am not very observant. I could never be a detective. Im not one for small details. Sometimes I start things and don't see them through. I can be a bit vain. I have a closet full of thrifted dresses but you know, I could use more. Consistency has been an issue in the past...

Yes. Jesus said I and the Father are One. Is there Scripture that shows that my stance is wrong?

I see you are using the Voice translation. The KJV says 'by that man who he hath ordained. I believe this fits more with the belief that Jesus is not merely a man that God selected but God Himself come down in the flesh. Also consider John 8:58, Colossians 14, and John 1

Yes! Exactly!! I was so confused about sanctification because I thought I only had to trust more and more in God's grace and then I'd be Holier. I was taught that by famous radio minister. I thought if I made an effort to be Holy than that was works-based righteousness. It doesn't work that...

Nothing, I just like how it rings. WyNOna. Lol

Okay Thank you! I downloaded the software.

I suppose so. Denominations are harmless but denominationalism not so much.

@Davy What study tools (if any) do you recommend when studying the Bible? I hope this isn't too off topic.

This thread is already so fascinating!! I have learned so much just by reading it.

I know a kind lady who has been on various meds in high doses for years before she got the right ones. She looks alright. I don't really worry about my future too much. God has been good to let me get on a good set of meds early in life.

Devin, that is like me. Although my theory is that medication causes you to not be able to stop once you take them. I accept that I will need them for life but I sometimes wonder if they aren't like that by design.

I have earnestly prayed for the healing of someone with schizophrenia. I still am praying for his healing and salvation. Believe what you want but I did mean everything I said. I myself have a serious mental disorder and I know it's not something that is supposed to miraculously disappear...

If Scriptures don't really move you, there's really nothing I can say about the topic. It's not like my views and explanations have more weight than the Scripture. We come to these crossroads where we disagree but the meat of the matter is that you believe the gospel but seemingly not much...

Cessationism is the belief that the gifts, miracles, and healing were for the Apostolic Age and no longer continue.

Has he gone forward to be healed in church? James 5:14-15 King James Version 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall...
