    Over all injustices of life, does God get you through?

    Everyone has been done wrong, or cause wrong to happen to others in life. How do you cope with it? Do you allow God to get you through? Or is it good to hold grudges against those who you done wrong, is it good to forgive yourself with Christ in you, and forgive and move on?

    Was Jesus Heretical? - Why did they crucify Him?

    People of churches that conclude that Jesus is still coming back today and while i disagree and will love them. I am deemed a heretic by defintion. I dont see how Jesus was a heretic, He was the way, the truth, and the life. He also promised to come back in that time, and therefore I believe...

    Was the New Testament Originally Written in Greek?

    You know, @EclipseEventSigns my thoughts are that the Gospel letters probably were completed around somewhere in 60AD, perhaps. I don't know exactly what language they wrote in, but there is evidence of the old testament being written in hebrew, and jesus had a sign above his head, reading the...

    Do you have to submit to elders (anyone) in church today?

    Do the verses of Paul written to Timothy, Who was going around in Ephesus have anything to do with us today? I personally do not believe - anyone has to submit themselves to anyone but God, and the Lord Jesus today, but what do you think? I believe you can respect anyone that comes around you...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    MaryMog, This reminds me of Abraham. If he didnt obet out of love for God; God gave him a son, and God asked him for his son but stops him and he was gonna send his Word whom would become his Son, who would willingly decide to sacrfice his own life and God would raise him again. Abraham may...

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    I believe it comes down to if a person humbly bows the knee before the Creator of all the world itself. That would be something they would have to profess from the heart towards others when spirit lead. Cause everything in the realm of Christianity - depends on the Spirit - God is spirit, Jesus...

    Growing in Spiritual Maturity - Being, not doing

    It's good to be - and know what you believe in your heart by knowing the Lord Jesus, and who raised Christ up from the dead. It really does make a world of difference, in my opinion. It should be encouraged to others to read their bible of course (i feel in a setting like this) there are those...

    Too Much Emphasis on College

    You also remind me of a scripture Least, it was during the time of acts, when the Jewish leaders were trying to forbid Peter and John to stop preaching the name of the Lord. Acts 4: 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must...

    If you take time to read in 1 John, You will see, 1 John 2 New King James Version The Test of Knowing Christ 2 My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And He Himself is...

    That is an awesome verse bro.tan, Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. These are some other great points too: And that is what God’s holy commandments are all about; the first four tells you how to love God and the last six tells you how to love...

    Gods true nation, Spiritual Israel.

    Romans 10:9 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Here is something interesting, about this line of text, which is commonly preached. If -- conditional - personal decision you confess -...

    IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP

    Okay, @Wynona. I can't put him on ignore. He is a staff member. Also I don't believe that some of the things you brought up are true nor are there any proof, some of the things would just be hearsay. (All I have is the proof of his mocking me, and harassing me after telling him to leave me...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Here is an interesting viewpoint from a person who has confirmed "they have left the faith", not sure if that means they left their faith in the resurrection of Christ or not, or just the church itself. They had a background in something (i can't remember) however, it is interesting to listen to...

    What was the gift you received, when you first believed? (mine was 'steadfastness'?)

    Hello Gottservant, The only gift that was received was a changed heart. It's not as dark as it use to be. :) Just desire to be fearful of God, and to love him, and love others; even 'if that love is something that has to report the actions of others, when crimes are made', cause love is not a...

    The Stronghold Called Authority

    People can very much abuse in a place of power. And that can be pleasurable to them. There were times I was a staff on a video game, and I enjoyed having the power, but I would abuse by giving out free things that were not suppose to be given out, and messing up the value system.
