    Also would like to mention three different translations of Proverbs 19:8 New International Version The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. New Living Translation To acquire wisdom is to love yourself; people who cherish understanding will...

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    Yes all I gotta do is set up an appointment with someone at this point. Would like a cross openly expressed on my hand, as it will be a sure fire way of being noticed. He is the one we live for, and he is the one whom died for us, the cross is where we go to die to ourselves, being then buried...

    Proofs of god's existence

    One thing to note here Jennifer is that the Bible is not a science book at all. However when looking at the human body we can see in nature that God created all things. Our fingertips have line rings in them, just like the inside of the trunk of a tree. Our veins that one can see are just like...

    I’m not against self reflection, or self-compassion. Have heard that many times though if you can’t learn to love yourself, you won’t be able to love others. Jesus helps in that manner as well, realizing that we are in need of someone to help us overcome fear and the temptations that befall us.

    One more thing, always ask in Jesus name, that was laid on my heart to mention because it is also one of the mentions to the disciples to pray in his name. By doing so we receive reassurances that God is hearing our prayers and that God will provide good things from the heavenly when also ask...

    To me the Bible is one of the most resources to learn about God and Jesus Christ, I personally stick with the what is it? 66 books Protestant edition of the Bible, no extra data from other supposed Bibles added in the Apocryphal one (I’m not saying you can not read them). With this in mind...

    Different Topic(s) of Study - Including Scriptures

    Topic - Christ Sinlessness Isaiah 53:9 And His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth. Luke 23:41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving [a]what we deserve for our...

    Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye....

    I’m glad that you are enjoying your time here and hopefully it will continue to be helpful when you stop by sometimes. Heated debates or debating in general is hard to avoid and it becomes like sounding (@Venksta mentions) clashes of cymbals that are really loud and can become obnoxious. I catch...

    Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye....

    That is something that will happen either way, though Cross8527; and it is all in willingness to Serve God from your own heart, it is not about the rewards though however that is a promise that will be happening to all believers who make the choice to follow Christ, loving God first, and loving...

    Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye....

    QT, Haha, I just shared some of my beliefs with another on a different forum. The way, I see it quietthinker is that all people are responsible for their individual walk with God. All spiritual rewards will be meted out to all believers - at the day of death, given their spiritual body that...

    Teaching on Divorcement

    How I read my bible

    Hey Cross, post as much as you are lead friend. Good thing to note that a whole Chapter can change whole perspective from a single passage. That is why I am against really apologetics and rely from what has been learned from the bible as a whole, and generally leads me to speaking what I...

    Teaching on Divorcement

    Teaching About Divorce Mar 10:1 And having risen from there, He comes to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again multitudes come together to Him, and as He had been accustomed, again He was teaching them. Having risen from where He and the disciples were, having...

    So you came to faith, great now what?

    That is good. You came to faith, and read the Gospel, Matthew, mark, Luke, and John. Jesus one time sacrifice on the cross paid for the sins of all people, nearly 2000 years ago. It took care of your sins, and now you came to the cross. Do you stay there? At the feet of Jesus while he is up...

    Fear and anxiety in the bible

    1 Peter 5:7 NLT Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

    The morality of kinks and does lust apply only to people.

    Do you put those things over your trust and faith in God, and the Lord Jesus Christ? Does it become your idol you worship? is what I am saying. I have no judgement really here on what you do or do not do. All us will be responsible for our lives when we pass away from this life on to God...

    The Insanity of the "right" to have guns!

    I do not own a gun in my house. My mothers sister was accidentally shot in the head by someone who had been drunk one day out on the sidewalk having pulled it out and shot it off. Guns are part of life, and people use them. It is not something anyone will ever get rid off. There are Christians...
