    I hope this topic wasn't a stumbling block for anyone. My apologies if it was.

    QUESTION 1 for YOU - IF YOU BELIEVE JESUS is GOD

    I prefer not to ask people to prove themselves by telling me their works. So they do not boast about themselves and sin.

    Name a really bad doctrine that needs retiring

    What is it to God if someone believes a false doctrine that has no bearing on their lives? But I agree that the teaching of false doctrine is unacceptable, which is why it is extra important to stay grounded in the Word. Don't stack your doctrine up like a house of cards. It is better to...

    Name a really bad doctrine that needs retiring

    It is difficult to fully understand heaven from the eternal perspective. So much so I think God permits errancy concerning this.

    Name a really bad doctrine that needs retiring

    Welcome DEBijbel! I believe the intent of the law was to bring life, there is a life giving spirit behind it. The new covenant is all about obeying the spirit behind the law. To obey the letter of the law has proven impossible for all but one. To obey the spirit of the law is possible for...

    QUESTION 1 for YOU - IF YOU BELIEVE JESUS is GOD

    I agree, You can't reason Jesus into someone's heart, Teaching is lacking when it isn't accompanied by spiritual evidence. For example: Randor is brimming with Joy for the Lord. For that reason alone he makes a better argument than someone posting alacarte scriptures to support their own...

    Where Do I Post to Request Spiritual Help?

    Illness is sometimes the result of demonic attack, and conventional medicine can help. I urge you to seek medical attention if you are having an emergency.

    Where Do I Post to Request Spiritual Help?

    I believe this would best fit under the General Christian Forum. But no worries, we may move it there eventually. James 5:16 "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." I'm not...

    The Commandments of Jesus Christ

    You don't think taking offence is warranted? Your personal take is an accusation against the integrity of fellow Christians who are trying to provide you with a conducive environment for spiritual growth. And now you make another accusation. Even when I worked on making websites in the 90's I...

    The Free Gift of Salvation

    It basically means that God treats you the way you treat others. For example: The lord may send lying spirits to a liar and deceiver.

    Righteousness of faith?

    I'll leave the proper translation of Rom:3:22 to someone more skilled in Greek. The way I understand it there is a basic principle that obedience and righteousness go hand in hand. No one was able to obey the law in it's entirety until Jesus Christ. He is the only one who could obey God's...

    Righteousness of faith?

    "What is the righteousness of faith?" That would be the sinless life of Jesus Christ.. Romans 3:22 "This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile" "Without the Lord God’s acknowledgment of one’s faith, is one’s...

    Is it wrong to pray for death?

    This world is wearisome, but I believe God has placed us all here for a reason. To escape into heaven while your lips can still sing God's praises does not glorify him. While there is still a drop of glory he may squeeze out of your life you should continue to endure and live the sacrificial...

    "Free" Will

    I didn't see that the topic had narrowed to only looking for evidence for going to heaven when I posted this. 1 Peter 1:17-21 refers to our faith and hope in God. By the context it is to be resurrected with Jesus and to be with him, where we can not currently come. There is no scripture that...

    "Free" Will

    If I may take the initiative, here is one scripture: 1 Peter 1:17-21 17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were...
