We serve the Living God and have a living relationship with Him, and the bible itself tells us essentially that all the books on earth couldn't contain Him and everything He does. He does speak to us uniquely and individually. His sheep know His VOICE. For example He can give us a command or...

It is possible sometimes to discern Jews....their gifts and calling are irrevocable. And though some may be enemies of the gospel for our sakes, they are still loved for the sake of the patriarchs, and I wish them only well. There is no one righteous, no not one, so we need to watch our...

We live in a broken world. Sometimes parents can even be too loving and supportive and that also is dysfunctional in its own way as much as abusive and rejection parenting. And sometimes people veer off into sin because they picked up an evil spirit along the way and believed it. The way Eve...

Yes, it's different in how to approach lost souls, as opposed to those who are within the church. Totally agree.

Are you talking about the lost ones who don't know Christ? Then I agree with the spirit of what you are expressing (though not the false accusation, which is manipulative). But it's a different kettle of fish altogether with those within the church who are naming the name of Christ. As Paul...

And many have been wrongly taught that they can keep on sinning and stay saved too, so tragically they fall away and become nominal.

Brother, I just am not sure that anyone necessarily has to have their specific sins pointed out to them beforehand, unless the Spirit specifically leads or the person is open to talking about it......the Lord will do whatever convicting is needed, and Jesus came not to condemn but to...

Anyone who has not the Spirit doesn't belong to the congregation of the saints, sorry. That is what the bible teaches. There are nominal Christians and there are true Christians who have had an encounter with the risen Lord Jesus and received His Spirit within. There are many Christians in...

And what does "illuminated" mean..? and "sanctified"...? Bible says elsewhere that we are "renewed in knowledge after the image of Christ" ....aka BORN AGAIN. Look again at the whole passage I quoted....Paul is clearly talking to believers...why would he be telling UNbelievers to assemble and...

Heb 10:24-32 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we (keep on sinning) sin wilfully after...

Going by the parents' horrendous abusiveness, it's a safe bet this must have been a family with serious problems to start with and that is probably the reason, sadly, why their son was beginning to exhibit those signs of what I call maladaptive coping. But what people can't understand without...

Not by true Christians I'm sure. Maybe by some who call themselves Christians, but are not. Violence is not the answer, the gospel is. (For those who are willing, at least. For those who are not, the Lord will judge in the end.)

Wow, I'm sure nobody here would advocate for what happened to that child....no true Christian in their right mind would. You are falsely accusing and conflating issues.

Funny that true Christians suffer in this world in much the same ways, except we do have the Lord to encourage and lift us up when we need it. But look around you - all kinds of people suffer in all kinds of ways in this world. It's because the world is in a sinful fallen state and lies under...

I'm sure there are can be many reasons for depression. Homosexuals are between a rock and hard place in some ways, they don't have it easy, just like people with all sorts of other problems don't......but the way out of such predicaments is only through Christ Jesus, through love of the truth...

I'm sure many homosexual people must feel conflicted/confused on some level, which would be tormenting in itself. And not to mention that many of them have suffered abuse or neglect or rejection etc when they were young. They need understanding and to be ministered the love of God, but at the...

A big AMEN! brother. The bible teaches that God's people are not to be "united" with people of the world. God says that friendship with the world is enmity with Him. And be not unequally yoked with unbelievers, but come out from among them and be ye separate, and I will receive you says the...

We're not even going to be able to do true righteousness without first having it imparted to us. It's a huge understatement to say that it does a LOT. We've become a new creation....one that is created after the image of He who created it, created in righteousness and holiness. (Col 3:10, Eph...

Amen. I have heard testimonies of homosexuals being set free from homosexuality when a demon was cast out of them. The church needs to do more of that. I suspect many problems, including many mental health issues are caused by demons that can be cast out. It is a form of ministry that is so...

Even Jesus LEARNED obedience by the things which He suffered. Who has suffered in the body is done with sin. There is a progressive sanctification going on and that is why the Lord chastises us as sons. Confess your faults one to another seems to suggest that believers have faults.
