God is not our checkbook! sml

Of course hell is a free choice. God loves everyone...He created everyone. John 3:16 16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. God gives to everyone the opportunity to become saved. The default...

Know what's interesting? Antifa members ARE fascist !! also for: @mailmandan

There also is no organization called DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS. Gosh Triumph, what's going on with you??

LOL Difficult to get off this thread GH! If Jesus said to baptize IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT It means they all have the same power,,,the same nature....the same essence. It means they are equal. Jesus knew what He was talking about. OK. Now I'm going.

GH,,,you know very well that I could post just as many verses, if not more, about the fact that Jesus is God...using also the OT. The reason I'm going to stop posting is twofold: 1. I don't normally go on for pages about one topic... 2. I don't care to discuss/debate the Trinity because, as...

I'd like to make a point about your comment. Everyone exploits everyone. Some call this USING people. I prefer to call it what is normally meant when we "use" someone. It's our need for the other. Needing someone has become a bad idea. It's not. We all need each other and it's normal and even...

No need to be sorry! I just think it's important to be honest. I know a very famous and popular person (personally) that was raised in an upper middle income home who claims to have been raised in poverty when doing interviews or in books, not sure why. So I'm rather sensitive to this. Right...

If a person is going to define themselves as Christian... then he must adhere, at the very least, to the basic Christian tenets. I find it problematic that a person can call themselves a Christian and yet believe that Jesus is not God,,, which, basically, would be idolatry... And why would...

Sure. But I didn't mean ME. I meant in general.... when people have less, or nothing, they tend to be more quiet and are better able to search and find God. It's like when Jesus was giving the sermon on the Mount... Blessed are the poor in spirit.... it's these persons that have little and are...

God INSTILLS faith into us? It's not our free will to believe in God? Leading...agreed. Dragging....not agreed. Jesus did HIS work on the cross. Now it's up to us to do OURS. John 17:4 4 "I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do. Matthew 7:21...

Very good! I love your threads Wynona. She explained everything really well. The gradualness of it also made the whole idea easier to digest as the new generations became used to these ideas. Maybe we only lived our Christian world-view when we had nothing? Now we HAVE...so our Christianity...

LOL Because they're not doing what God created them to do! They're not fulfilling their God-given purpose. They've been promised fulfillment in everything else except what women were meant for. And now I'll watch the video!

And you didn't explain your avatar. All those LIGHTS, I think?

Recovering? So what are you recovering TO? I might have been evangelical at some point... not sure what it means anymore. I used to THINK I knew, but am no longer certain. If you care to explain it in 25 words or less...

Unfortunately amigo.... different persons read the same bible and come away with two different ideas. Now,,I ask myself...HOW could this be possible? Do we obey Jesus? Do we obey Paul? Do we obey James? I believe they all taught exactly the same. But some like to cause division in the...

I've provided only one verse in all these years?? Sola Fide Sola Deo Are you becoming Calvinist?? Was Abraham not justified when he offered his son? James 2:22-24 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that faith was working...

You could use human logic if you want to. I prefer to use the language of the bible. The bible states that God is our Father. Isaiah 64:8 8 But now, O LORD, You are our Father, Matthew 7:11 11 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your...

I was not raised in the church. I taught kids our faith... and loved introducing Jesus to them. Yours??

Yes sir. No reason to start again right now. THIS is what James said: FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD. I like to just read the verses and believe them. We are justified by faith. But not by faith alone. Ultimately, we are justified by faith and obedience to God. Obedience includes works/good...
