    He died and was raised again in the Body of Christ, and became one with his Father, Revelation 4 has more information on this.

    Evolution or Creation? Vote now!

    Maybe be extremist, Jack. No doubt they exist. People attack the Bible, not the devil. People believe, and teach, and can use the Bible to manipulate people. That is why it is so important for people who want know God is to seek him prayer by asking Him to help you be able to read the Bible...

    Evolution or Creation? Vote now!

    I don't know why that chaps cheeks with evolution but maybe ill never know. Love to you brother, maybe I'm just not understanding because I don't think God is gonna care if you believe that alterations of living organisms can happen. Does the individual also possibly have a heart for God, and...

    The Amazing Christ

    I have always seen it as this @face2face, When it comes to the birth of Christ in the most general sense my belief is this: God was in the beginning. God spoke through His Word that had the power to create. God though he is Spirit, has a Holy Spirit which is of God. God sent his Word - that...

    Evolution or Creation? Vote now!

    That is just your opinion, Jack. I love the Bible, its Gods greatest gift to man, aside from the best gift which was his Son. have a good one, I just wanted to share my opinion. No one has to believe it.

    Evolution or Creation? Vote now!

    I believe God created, and perhaps allowed evolution to be possible. As the definition is simply: 1 the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth. Viruses are living organisms and have...

    The Oddities of different teachings through organization(s).

    Here is the verse by Paul to the Philippians, 1: Paul's Trials Advance the Gospel …14And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear. 15It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.16The...

    The Oddities of different teachings through organization(s).

    Hello Jack, From my perspective its just not enough really digging into the word and doing a study while going through to look at all you can while teaching. Consider my belief that the devil is defeat, anyone who preaches or teaches out of spite while some out of love, Paul was glad the...

    The Oddities of different teachings through organization(s).

    Don’t know if they could be or not. Some people get up on the stage and just talk. Telling their stories and never really taking a good hard look at the Bible and teaching it. I have met great people in church building. It’s always the approach, so if you can find a good church that actually...

    The Oddities of different teachings through organization(s).

    Oh that is good. I’m not trying to down play them, but it wasn’t a good experience. The most I’ve ever gotten is out of an actual teaching experience with the use of the Bible. It’s so highly important for people to be fortified in their faith, and that comes with actual verse by verse study...

    The Oddities of different teachings through organization(s).

    @Scott Downey i don’t care about predestination all that much, to me it’s simply really keeping faith and having a relationship with God that is important. Jesus done everything and has had victory already. People who believe in Him are no longer his creation, but a child of God or a son or...

    The Oddities of different teachings through organization(s).

    They are a rootin’ tootin’ band playing church that are Pentecostal Holiness kinda of place called “the gateway”. Two of my friends go there, I went twice time just to surprise a friend by going to see her there one day. I don’t care much for the music anymore and I know everyone is having a...

    The Oddities of different teachings through organization(s).

    May those who seek to individually seek out God, who created the heavens and earth do so. Be encouraged to seek out God, and though he is completely perplexing, you can learn and grow to know Him by looking and searching the Bible. God is good, God is Love, God is Spirit, and a consuming fire...

    Whatever:

    A wise man thinks about death, but a fool only cares about having a good time. I can play a fool pretty well and still do sometimes? But I have learned to consider death and the afterlife. Apparently there won’t be no more death, no more pain, mourning, or crying, in the new Jerusalem above...

    The Doctrine of Baptisms

    Have a friend who told me she was going to get baptized soon, she is 47 I believe and never done it before. I said that is great, its a good thing to do, and its also reassuring you of your own faith in Christ, that you believe one day will die and resurrect. I think is good for people to...

    Do we live by Laws?

    Yes, it will always be independent of an individual to seek out God, by turning towards him. When a person does this, and they pursue God on their own, in faith, and grow in knowledge and wisdom. They independently have the choice to continually seek for God, in some peoples lives I imagine...

    How do you become a child of God?

    I tend to think God was talking to angels, but you made some good points about Him being the Son, thank you hippie. You all have a good day.

    How do you become a child of God?

    He was the very Word of God sent by God, to reconciled the world unto himself. That is my answer to the question, Robert. Jesus is the one who created everything, with God right there with him - as he spoke - the Word saying Let there be light, and the Word when spoken created. That is what I...

    Do we live by Laws?

    Yes, Robert. That is true, but the Laws I am referring to come from the Laws that were given to Israel, they do only serve the purpose to know that we are guilty before God, and need Christ to be made right with God who's Son fulfilled everything. The Law I am also referring to is what Law is...
