    How Threads Become Unedifying

    This is certainly Not confined to Catholics and their arguments about Catholicism. Very similar things happened with the 2020 U.S. Presidential election discussions and again with the Covid-19 discussions. Mudslinging is a people thing. To try to confine to Catholics alone or even primarily...

    Bible alone!

    Truth is Jesus but who knows him completely and absolutely? What did Apostle Paul write about himself and all of us here? "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known" I Cor 13:12 Who has already attained unto...

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    We live for God by faith, not by knowledge although many act on certain points as if knowledge was essential and that they have it! Who has all knowledge, but God alone? What is important to man? What is important to God? "Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the...

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    I was on a forum once years ago where everything was more open even than it is here. There were some who wanted to change it. Eventually the forum was acquired by new owners and the rules were changed in favor of those supporting rule interpretations similar to yours. I was one of the oldest...

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    Please leave this question with the moderators where it belongs. I know that I and a few others here would be gone if the moderators were as strict as you seem to want then to be on what is OK and what is not. I have never supported the Trinity doctrine and I have long had serious questions...

    Bible alone!

    The help of the apostles is a good thing, but who was it that let you know that some of those fellows were heading off in the wrong direction? It does still come down to "by their fruits you shall know them", but how is it that you are able to distinguish between good and evil fruits?

    Bible alone!

    Even if we understand the keys to be included in that verse, how can anyone continue correctly according to that verse without the leading and power of the Holy Spirit? "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers." Acts 2:42...

    So again what is growing in the Lord all about?

    Yes, a person who loves God and his neighbor! The two great commandments!. How does anyone love like this? Is it not to be manifested in and through us by God in us? For God certainly is that Love!

    This Scripture is REAL? Does the Lord Desire people to Perish?

    That word "willing" can be confusing. Read this version of the same verse: "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." II Peter 3:9 [SV] God really does...

    wedding / marriage = celebrating sin ??

    We are here now, and for us marriage is not an evil thing and done properly it is a very correct and a very good thing. What happens after we die physically is another thing. We are not there and we should not be focusing so much on that now: "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the...

    wedding / marriage = celebrating sin ??

    @Holy999 Jesus acknowledged as Apostle Paul did later that there could be a problem if we allow our spouse to come between us and God, but still God, the Creator made both males and females for one another. The key is for both of them to live well with each other and with God. Some people...

    wedding / marriage = celebrating sin ??

    You are, I believe, a little mixed up. This is what Jesus said on a very positive note about marriage: "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and...

    The Council of Nicea vs another christian religion

    Most of my life I have made a special effort to congregate with God's people. Now with my wife's particular susceptibility and the pressure of the Covid-19 situation added to other things beyond my control, I have gone for more than a year without physically attending any church meeting. In the...

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    It is certainly not the forum itself that moves anyone toward God, but God certainly does uses individuals to attract other individual to Him. Sometimes the place of attraction is in this particular place. Sometimes the person being used of God to accomplish His purpose is being used when he is...

    So again what is growing in the Lord all about?

    Indeed, me diminishing in myself and increasing in Him! Moving always from selfishness toward selflessness. Was Jesus selfish or was he for us the perfect example of selflessness? "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better...

    So again what is growing in the Lord all about?

    I, like others, would like to see others always agreeing with me, but all of us need to learn to receive criticism or correction. Who is in possession already of all God's Truth? Not me! Who is making no mistakes at all in what he says or does? Not me! Sometimes or often God makes us aware...

    So again what is growing in the Lord all about?

    They have too often learned to use the sword foolishly for their own purposes according to their own wills, instead of always seeking and following God's will!
