    How do you become a child of God?

    Many differ. From John the Baptist said it’s the one who’s great than him who could Baptized in the hilt spirit and fire.

    How true that is, a resurrection that is better than the rest. Is that something one desires? Its up to them. That was what Paul was running for. It is a better resurrection than the normal one, which is gifted to people who are of faith, perhaps still children and perhaps I am still a child of...

    Jesus talked about it in Matthew 6:22 The Lamp of the Body 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your wholebody will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then...

    @rockytopva, While it true, a person can understand doctrine, and miss spiritual principles. That doesn't mean that you can not understand doctrine, be able to share it, and still live a life by the spirit. Not sure I agree with Blaise Pascal, as the reason to believe in the Lord Jesus...

    the Bible is clear though about the Apostles suggesting for the people they wrote to watch and wait, so can not say they were not waiting for the Lord Jesus Christ to return. So I can't help someone who won't consider the truth of the matter ya know?

    Faith is pretty brutal, Charlie24. Thank you for sharing your beliefs, and what you believe is right and God bless you my friend. Like I said there are two places I would like you to give consideration but alas that is all on your choice. Christianity's Great Dilemma: Is Jesus Coming Again...

    I believe people should be liberated, but I believe church organizations can tend to lend to bondage. Keeping them from the total truth, and simply going in and church Wednesday, and Sunday or whatever they do. the Bible along with contextual study, diving into the greek and Hebrew, and...

    Here is another suggestion from Glenn Hill who taught for along time on the second coming and decide that He did come back and return. https://www.amazon.com/Christianitys-Great-Dilemma-Jesus-Coming/dp/1453873740 Cheap book about 12$, but again it stands in the face of ones own belief.

    Hebrews 11:1 New International Version Faith in Action 11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

    Nope, because the historians were unbelievers. They would not have seen him come. Only those who believed would. So thus I believe by faith that yes, they did see him come back, and they were taken away.

    Truth does sting a bit and people do not like when truth is presented because it disrupts the beliefs one may have.

    I recommend this video but people will believe what they want. When it comes to those who would see Him, it would be those in that land at the time. Those who were watching and waiting as Jesus Christ instructed his disciples. But people don't believe it because its impossible for people to...

    It is due to improper study. That is the truth of the matter my friend.

    Why must we love God first?

    Nothing on these subjects?

    Thank you again for being a willing participant in talking to me about these things, but my view would greatly differ from the people who still haven't seen the Victory of the Lord Jesus Christ. All people need help and the greatest thing is to allow people to have freedom to make their own...

    Cool brother. I differ, and love you. I believe all of Revelation 1-20 has come to fruition, so I don't except to be judged like those who were judged in their Age, for having the Son of God killed and put to death. Though we will have judgement upon death, and move on to the Realm of God, the...

    Hey my name is Matthew, and I don't believe in eternal punishment, but I believe people are rewarded now today for what they do with their lives. People who reap to the flesh do not reap very much after this life, people who reap to the spirit they are reaping to the eternal affairs in which...

    I think it is demented what you are trying to convince me to believe. @Charlie24, you are not doing anything but also justify your own stance in what you believe though you have not out rightly said which goes like this. People that are saved, upon Christ return, go on to be with God...

    The devil, the false prophet, and the beast are out in the lake of fire forever but it says people have their portion or part in revelation 21. You’ll have to stop with your dogmatic stance because you’re not gonna convince me of it. Thank you @Charlie24.
