    Biblical Repentance

    Hi Titus Very good post... The word REPENT is not used correctly these days..it's used to mean that one is sorry for having sinned, but, of course, your definition is correct. It means to turn and go the other way. I don't believe it's possible to stop sinning, but I do believe our love for...

    Oklahoma orders first shipment of Bibles for use in public school classrooms

    Pres. Trump signed an executive order declaring that only 2 genders will be accepted by govt ( on forms, docs, etc). Maybe we'll have a return to some kind of normalcy? Should this even be necessary in a civil country/world?

    Western Trinitarians, do not follow the early church teaching.

    I understand your concern. I was happy that the trinity was not allowed to be discussed here. We must come to the conclusion that those that do not believe that Jesus is God, and thus do not believe in the Trinity, really cannot be defined as Christians. Not saying they're not saved....they...

    Western Trinitarians, do not follow the early church teaching.

    About the ONLY agreement I have with James White is the Trinity...he does defend it very well. I thought JW did a great job of defending the Trinity. You have to give him this: He's a great debater. Yes, H, I understand what you're doing.

    Oklahoma orders first shipment of Bibles for use in public school classrooms

    Hi Pepper....Auntie seems to know everything about everybody....you'll find out soon enough. I like to just ignore this type of person, but yes, JW judge Christians all the time. I find it ironic. To say the least.

    Western Trinitarians, do not follow the early church teaching.

    I watched your video! I think you'd like it,,,but whatever. (you're the one interested in combatting unitarianism....this would teach you how they defend their position.) I'd NEVER post a 3 hour long video..or, most prbably, any video. Later...for the other post.

    Franklin Graham: Trump needs our prayers

    The Donald doesn't need to be different Deb. He's fine just the way he is. If some on this thread don't this so.... too bad. Sanity is back in the White House and I'm PROUD to be an American!! The tyranny is gone. Good riddance to a disgraceful administration.

    Western Trinitarians, do not follow the early church teaching.

    Who cares what Tuggy believes?? The ECF's believed Jesus was God. It took a long time to come to understand the relationship between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit because the early Christians were Jewish and were raised in their religion and their religion taught there was only One...

    Out now. I just heard the beginning and I'm not too happy. Easier to read. .OK Later

    Western Trinitarians, do not follow the early church teaching.

    I wish I knew better what it is you're speaking of. Posting a Youtube video may not work since many will not even watch it - I'm one. Sorry. If you think it's such an important issue...how about explaining it?

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    This isn't so true anymore. The parents of the kids I teach (not this year) are mostly atheists and kids are not learning much from their parents anymore. They're very influenced by other kids and schooling. But, yes, it used to be true. Agreed. And yes, Franklin reminded me of his father...

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    I find it interesting that all populations believe Jesus looked like their kind. Italians like a light haired Jesus with blue eyes. Franco Zeffirelli, the director of Jesus of Nazareth (my favorite movie about Jesus) picked an Italian boy with bright blue eyes to play the 12 year old Jesus....I...

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    Works both ways Lambano. WE see something of ourselves in GOD. To sum up we could say that God gave us the following qualities which HE also has: MENTAL: Rationality Intellect MORALITY Conscience Justice Goodness SOCIAL Fellowship Family Love Relationship with God * Not sure in which...

    MERITING SALVATION

    Agreed with all of the above.... I think of it this way: When we do good works/deeds after salvation, I believe we have the feeling that we're doing them for God - not for ourselves OR the person who is benefitting from them. I think it's totally incredible how God changes our heart! Ezekiel...

    MERITING SALVATION

    Agreed. When we are told by the Holy Spirit and guided by Him, then our good works become a gleam in God's eyes. We are doing His will, which is to bring to this earth, the Kingdom of God just as Jesus had wanted. IOW,,,to make the world a better place by doing the will of God. Love how you...

    MERITING SALVATION

    Ephesians 2:8-9 states that we are saved by grace, through faith, and not by our works. 8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. We are saved by our faith in God....no amount of...

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    How would YOU explain it Pepper? To most Christians image means to be made, in some way, like God. We see an image of ourselves in a mirror, and we see back some things in us that God ALSO has.... Likeness also means that you're like another person...you're the same as they are in some way or...

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    Hi Amadeus! Good to see you around. Great post! There's not too much to add to it...it's complete. I love the part about how God h as given to man a second chance...this is how much He loves His creation; and yet we hear some say that God only loves certain persons; He loves everyone, but...

    HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?

    Hi MatthewG Yes, agreed. We are made in God's image by ATTRIBUTES, not because we are little gods. This was spoken of, I know you can't read each and every post. So, yes, Isaiah 55 is correct of course. We will never fully know God, but do you agree that we can know Him enough to know...
