    How is Love, greater than Faith, and Hope?

    Would like to hear others in their experience of how they possibly have been puffed up towards others at one time, and were humbled by the LORD. I know in my life it has happened many different times. At work I use to compare myself with others, and those who did not work fast like me...

    How is Love, greater than Faith, and Hope?

    Sir this thread is not for division, but love and edification. If you desire to cause division that is fine, but please let me encourage you to make your own thread about these things if you desire to hear what others have to say about it. I would like if possible that the thread stay on track...

    How is Love, greater than Faith, and Hope?

    Thank you for sharing, Christophany, and Marks. Also could include 1 Corinthians 13, too Chris. That is an definition of love that Christians should have towards others. Faith and hope does benefit sure Marks you are right, but Love is should b the dominate trait that is expressed. Am reminded...

    How is Love, greater than Faith, and Hope?

    13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. There was a time in my life where I deemed knowledge greater than everything else. I still do believe that Knowledge of God from the biblical source called the bible is still valid today and will forever be...

    Second Death

    Yeah, you are right @Ronald Nolette to me it does not make it any less important to grow in the knowledge of God and his will either way. There is also the 21st Chapter that also talks about the Lake of Fire too, so do not forget that friend.

    What the Heck is Salvation? And what are we Saved From?

    That is true, the way is narrow, and it requires self-sacrifice.

    Second Death

    Yes. So is overcoming, death, Satan and his angels, sin, hell/grave/Sheol as you stated. It’s good to grow in knowledge of God, and grow in spirit, and ultimately love. Okay.

    Second Death

    @Waiting on him What would fire feel like to a spiritual being? I sure as heck do not know… but the fire, has purgative effects being that God is an all consuming fire, and whatever darkness is burnt out is the afterlife loss? I don’t understand truly understand it either but it sure is a hell...

    Second Death

    Hello waiting on Him, We would have to study the Bible to figure it out. There were angels reserved for judgement, there was people in the prison part of Sheol, and those in paradise that was dumped out. So could consider their day in age, something they would experience before us… I don’t...

    John Chapter 5

    Thank you for the reply @Matthias. That makes sense considering the Word was God, that became lower than the angels and left it’s once former position born in to flesh named Jesus who was the Son of God.

    What the Heck is Salvation? And what are we Saved From?

    Hello, Concerning the question about Old Testament would say there was Material blessings and cursed that were upon the nation as either when they obeyed they were blessed or they disobeyed they were cursed. The same thing happens today only Spiritual, when one obeys the teachings of Christ...

    What the Heck is Salvation? And what are we Saved From?

    Hello, don’t take my word for it. From what I understand there are four ways to understand the word saved. One of them pertain to being saved from Gods wrath which pertained only to the nation of Israel when Judgement was poured out. One of them pertain to being saved from Satan and his...

    Gods Commands were Perfect - Jesus fulfills - and Jesus says to obey Him?

    Any other thoughts on these things?

    confession and repentance

    I understand that God knows my faults, but I believe that is good to be open and honest with God with our failures, maybe that is just something personal to me. God being your Father he is gonna be understanding and the fact he cares about you should lead you to confessing your failures to him...

    confession and repentance

    Hello, I believe it is good to be open and honest with God, to let him know everything that may be sinful which plagued you, understanding Gods grace is sufficient and Jesus with-in you is there to raise you back up. It may take time and patience. God knows I can be highly impatience with...
