I didn't think you were questioning my walk. But thank you!!

I feel like damned souls die for sure in the lake of fire. The second death. I could be wrong.

I consider a physical resurrection of Christ and belief that Jesus is alive essential. I believe a biblical grasp on what the gospel is to be essential. I feel like there may be more but these two stood out in my mind.

To me the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. It is alive. For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart...

I really appreciate this post. In the midst of our arguing here, I hope we can still demonstrate the love of Christ. I may disagree strongly with someone's opinion but at the end of the day, I still want to respect that person. Because God wants us to love one another and do good to even our...

@Truman the Levite Ive never heard that song. I like it a lot! Thanks for sharing it with us! Im really happy with everyone's responses. I suppose the verse really means that natural affection will grow cold from people doing awful things and breaking laws. But true love for Christ never...

Praise the Lord! Im glad you were able to witness through all that!

Without God, there is no objective standard for good and evil, only subjective feelings, and nature. God is the only thing that gives us a standard by which to call innocents suffering bad or call moral bad behaviour evil.

I agree that being loving means looking for the good in others rather than focusing on their faults for love covers a multitude of sins. Ill admit sometimes my love starts to grow cold. But I stir it up by remembering Jesus's love for me and others. I look at my life sometimes and wonder if...

Sometimes I feel it: My love for people getting cold. People can sometimes make it difficult to love, to be vulnerable, and to return blessing for insult. Jesus died so that people in the world would not perish but have everlasting life. He loved even His enemies. When I think on this...

I agree that happiness is not a bad thing for Christians to have. Its about contentment and being grateful for what you have. God enjoys blessing His children with good things. Having a grateful heart and contentedness..."godliness with contentment is great gain" are things that can genuinely...

Praying

I can definitely relate to having issues with the flesh. As I committed myself to prayer, fasting, reading Scripture, and memorizing key verses, those sins began to get under control. As you feed the Spirit, it will get strong enough to overcome temptation. I will pray for you to have the...

Hi. Im doing good today. Ive been wanting more face to face time with friends so I invited a staff member I volunteer with out to lunch. Im looking forward to it this Saturday! People seem to be on edge but that is to be expected. I like to smile and talk to people, in case that wasn't...

Last night, I dreamed that I was in a public meeting on whether they should defund the police in the town where I grew up. So I stood up and gave a speech about why it shouldn't happen. The woman heading up the opposing side cackled like a witch, cracking whips in my face and brought out a...

Hey Brent, I don't think you lost the Holy Spirit but I agree that feelings should not be the guage of how well you are doing. As you discipline yourself to read God's Word, evangelize, pray, and cut out sin, you will feed the Spirit-man and overcome the deeds of the flesh. You don't read...

Jack: I think you need serious professional help. I dont say this as an insult, but you really do seem to struggle distinguishing reality from whatever is going on in your head. Your replies really seem like you want to say something but cant seem to break through the delusion back into reality...
