    The Christian Cross *Trigger Warning* Controversial Viewpoint

    I don't wear jewelry, but I'd wear a Cross because of these two verses. Mark 8:34 - When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. Matthew 10:38 - And he who does...

    TULIP an open discussion

    Our sins were forgiven and removed from us. It was a payment for our sin debt. to Satan. Jesus redeemed us from the world. Colossians 2:13-14 - You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our...

    No limits, hence Matt. 19:26.

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    God has Sovereign control, How could anyone contradict God's will? You make untrue assumptions.

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    Because I was there.

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    There are millions who died in wars, that gave their life to Jesus and couldn't be baptized. The same with all tragedies, shipwrecks, building fires. Baptism is an ordinance, nothing else.

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    It's not the Vicar or the water. It is the sinners heart, who has somehow asked Jesus into their heart. The vast majority of Baptisms I've attended, the people were previously saved. To anticipate salvation from water is a false hope. There is nothing in the water. Then again, But with God, all...

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    God has Sovereign control of all aspects of our Salvation. Water cannot save you. Priests, Pastors, and Preachers have no control of your Salvation. Only God can do this. Jesus is the author and finisher of our Faith. (Heb. 12:2)

    The KJV of the Holy Bible is based on what? A question for all the KJO folks.

    I still think God uses the KJV to reach people. There is a man, fed up with life. He had no family and was working and kept asking himself, what am I working for, you know, what's the purpose. He took a day off work and was just going to end his life. He checked into a motel and sat on the bed...

    TULIP an open discussion

    RJ Sproul's definition. L stands for limited atonement, which describes God’s intent behind the death of Christ in providing salvation. Christians can rest assured that if they believe, it is because of the work of God, and that work cannot fail because His love cannot fail. Limited...

    If God's Soldier's Grow Old, Do they Become Legends?

    Our finite minds cannot fathom the infinite mind of God's will in our lives. We cannot know that God doesn't comfort the elderly with Alsheimer's in a different place we do not know. Rest assured, we belong to Jesus and He sustains us, and Jesus will never leave us or forsake us.

    About the "Holy Rosary" prayer

    Point 1. Matthew 13:43 is about the born again from above, not baptism. No Holy Spirit, no salvation. Point 2. speculation, not biblical. Mary was highly favored. In her magnificat she said she needed a Savior. No Holy Spirit, salvation. Point 3. Mary had a Mom and Dad and was born in sin, just...

    Living in a State of Fear

    Satan is the god of this world. Fear is of the world. People fear dying and will pay anything to not die. Most still reject God and trust in doctors and scientists. Jeremiah 17:5 - Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from...

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    As a man or woman we have a finite mind, God is infinite. We cannot know God's ways. This applies to your question "what would be the purpose of knowing", the unsaved don't know. In your examples, remember God was "hands on", in Israel. Knowing everything happening. That's why Jesus told...

    About the "Holy Rosary" prayer

    The woman in Rev. 12:1 is the nation of Israel. The 12 stars are 12 tribes. Rev. 12:5 -Jesus is born and resurrected in Heaven. Rev. 12:6 is future. Rev. 12:7-10 is in the Past. Rev. 12:13 is the persecution of the Jews. Rev. 12:17 is present. Satan is after Jews and Christians for last 2000 yrs.

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    Only the power of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit can change a man. Samuel tells Saul that he will receive the Holy Spirit and be changed. 1 Samuel 10:6 - Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. After Jesus died on the...

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    I didn't mention doctrines or theology, only the witness. God saves people who have never read the bible, like me. The only requirement for heaven is believing, and having faith in the crucified, resurrected, and Glorified Jesus Christ.

    Are you sending your neighbors to Hell?

    Last year when I wrote that, it was about the Gospel reaching the world and it has. If you ask someone on the street today if they believe in God, and they said no. Then you can remind them of all the church's, crosses, Jesus saves signs, billboards, and radio ads, especially during Christmas...

    Never underestimate Chinas capacity for invention.

    Impossible without ground nutrients. Just propaganda. Root systems need water and nutrients and will die swiftly without it. If they can find a water source in the desert, they could plant close to it. Palm trees survive real well in the desert close to water sources.

    SEPARATION OR DISTANCE

    Jesus is my friend and I tell Him everything. He is with me all the time. He knows our thoughts, sometimes I'll think something and He'll answer my prayer. I like that RitaJanice posts Romans 8:35-39. those verses say it all. Nothing can separate us ever. You might not feel it, but Jesus is...
