Christ crucified for the remission of sin is the gospel. How one comes to believe that gospel is of no consequence for their salvation.

The Lord said to Solomon: 1 Kings 3:12 "Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee." I often wondered does this verse mean Solomon was wiser...

This is a most disturbing turn of events. Now the witch likely blames God for the "accident" her husband suffered. But I wouldn't put a reversal of a curse beyond God's character; It is well within his rights to do so. But just because he can do something doesn't mean you should want him to...

Recently I have been pondering the question of what kind of sacrifice is greater. Is a sacrifice given freely better than one where you are forced to give? Instinctively I would think a voluntary sacrifice is greater than a compulsory one. The motivation for a freely given sacrifice is love...

Think of this as your opportunity to repay him for his kindness over the years, in the same spirit as this verse 1 Timothy 5:4. Are you not blessed by God when you're a blessing to others? Even in his debilitated state he continues to be a blessing to you, though indirectly now. That said...

Congratulations Rocky! I look forward to your continued contributions and I hope that many are blessed by your efforts.

The guilty are worthy of punishment, this is justice. It isn't their ways that they should be judged for, it is their acts. The sins against man must be repaid to man, and the sins against God repaid to him. It is the oppressed without a voice, those who's blood cries out from the ground...

I'm trying to determine what is so wrong with offending others. Now this doesn't apply to the gospel or scriptures, which will offend many but must still be shared. I refer to our opinions, that are trivial in the grand scheme of things. Some people are so easily offended I think they could...

Every so called intelligent Atheist is a fool. They neglect seeking the Lord and turn two blind eyes to the evidence before them. This world is fading away, and we will fade away much sooner. All of man's acquired knowledge shall be useless. Psalm 14:1-4 "1 The fool hath said in his heart...

This is my list Assemblies of God (100%) Reformed Baptist (98%) Free Will Baptist (94%) Seventh-Day Adventist (90%) Church of Christ (88%) Mennonite Brethren (88%) Presbyterian Church in America/Orthodox Presbyterian Church...

No, it doesn't make you a glutton. I gave no qualifications of what makes someone a glutton.

Just because someone is obese doesn't mean they are gluttons. Some can eat and eat and eat, and remain skinny as a rail. Then there are those who always need to watch their weight or it will get out of control. There is no principle from the Bible that forbids being fat, though I believe...

Prayers sent, more to come

We should first define what 'evil' is refereed to in Isaiah 45:7 from the translations that use this word. So what is so evil about violent natural phenomenon unless they affect people. I would say it is the people subject to these natural disasters, and those that empathize with them that...

A1. I think its because I have so few posts and am still active enough to catch people's attention. It shows I am not very opinionated to avoid ruffling people's feathers. A2. That is a moth that was found outside my church, it sort of looks like it has a portrait of Jesus on it's back. A1...

Hey rocky, I mostly keep quiet until I have something meaningful to contribute. I try to follow this advice from Proverbs 17:28 "Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues." Despite knowing this the leadership still wanted my help. ;) I am...

I compare being high on weed to drunkenness. The bible warns that being a drunkard is damnable. I believe that while drunk communion with God is hindered.

The bible isn't always plain. If you don't rely on allusion you will miss out on some key concepts, like the Trinity. I also doubt that catholics consider purgatory as a second chance.

The peachers at my church will usually bring a bottle to the hospital to anoint the heads of the sick from our congregartion. It is also done by request.

I believe it is good to have a healthy amount of fear that one's salvation is genuine. You can believe something in your heart but can you be sure of it until it manifests in actions? Will a faith that has only been tested in the heart of the believer be sufficient in a time of trials? These...
