    Is it Biblical to cry and get upset?

    Okay, haven't read all the replies, but I was thinking of Samuel's mum sitting on the steps of the sanctuary when the priest thought she was drunk. Fluffy, I'm a 69yo cry baby. Usually they're tears of joy, or love, or relief, but sometimes just downright exasperation and bewilderment. And guess...

    What are the Characteristics of God that are His and His Alone?

    I love that you mentioned 1Cor.13. It was only a few years ago that I realized those beautiful descriptives of love reflected the character of God Himself, and in doing so offering us hope that we could be the same.

    What was the thorn in Paul’s side?

    That's exactly what I was thinking of. 2 Corinthians 12.

    My Life Journey through the Lens of Paranormal Experiences

    I think that some of us will be very surprised when Jesus reveals to us the number of people positively, and negatively, influenced by us in our daily walk. If we walk with Jesus every day, committing our steps to Him, He will use is at times without our knowledge. Simple casual conversation...

    What was the thorn in Paul’s side?

    5. You need Me not to give what you ask for. It'll keep you humble.

    Are Online Christian Forums Cults?

    I crave fellowship, and will take it anywhere I can, so long as they all play nice. I use to think I was a loner. There was a time before I became a Christian that I could sit on a beach by myself days on end and be quite content. Not today. I need people around me, and if I can't see their...

    What was the thorn in Paul’s side?

    I believe he was referring to his very poor eyesight, almost blind. Possible as a follow on from when he was knocked off his donkey. But there are several clues throughout his letters that lead to this, although none of them definitive. First, he wrote only one of his letters himself, all the...

    Sins of the Flesh not Important

    Three paragraphs and not one mention of the Atonement through His blood. Whereas the page previous offers us a great deal on Christ's life. I'm not kidding. Catholicism does not accept the Atonement through the blood of Christ as being sufficient for our redemption.

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    Though Satan is spiritually defeated, he is not yet destroyed. And I know there are demons everywhere... I've met some of them.

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    And not forgetting Revelation 12:17;14:6, they would keep all of God's Commandments. Now I'm sure you would profess to keeping 9...

    Are Christians Sinners?

    KJV James 2:8-11 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one...

    Persecution is promised!!!

    QUOTING BIBLE CALLED “HATE SPEECH CRIME” IN FINLAND “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20). [Yes, this thinking could be coming to our shores soon!] Religious liberties...

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    Your exegesis reads like a mix and match at the local salvos. Cheap, with the odd brand name but all over the place.

    HERESY?

    Why must a Christian accept a man made Creed? The word of God is the foundation of Christian faith and practise, not man's opinion of it.

    Is The Beast Of Revelation 13:1-8 A Political System On Earth?

    Why would God be so inconsistent as to change the rules of prophetic interpretation just when it matters most? Is God confusing the issue deliberately, or is He the same yesterday and today and wants His people to be clear in their understanding so as not to be deceived in these last days? He...

    Can Someone Please Define What a Christian is?

    That's an interesting question @Cassandra First, I apologize for them length of this post, before I even start writing. Most of you know I can be rather long winded at times...I have a feeling this won't be an exception. Second, I want to make something clear. What I am going to offer doesn't...

    I'm a non-Christian, where can I post?

    Can't argue with that.
