    Opening Letters - Contextual reasoning

    Hello to you, there are many people today who believe that the Bible was indeed written for them today. There is something wrong with this approach as it takes away contextual reasoning by addressing things in misappropriation. Many people may not like me saying this, but however it is true in...

    God is not mad, angry, with you.

    The scripture should be kept in context, and not taken out of context though, Farouk. That is why I believe that Sola Scriptura can be dangerous, especially for new Christians... When things are discombobulated and mixed up it causes a problem, and it also makes forth contradictions, and that...

    God is not mad, angry, with you.

    I could be wrong, you seem to have a calvinist approach to scripture, or sola scriptura approach. I disagree with both of these approaches. God bless you sir. In Christ, Matthew Gallagher

    What does it mean To become a minister of All?

    @Lambano I haven’t read 2 Corinthians in a long time. This I desired to share with you. “Are we beginning to praise ourselves again? Are we like others, who need to bring you letters of recommendation, or who ask you to write such letters on their behalf? Surely not! The only letter of...

    God is not mad, angry, with you.

    Hello Eddie, Cool. Though we don’t see the same (as far as I do believe Jesus has already returned). I believe those who do wicked deeds with endure the right judgment from God. It happens all the time with people going to jail for doing crimes. God desires for them to come to Christ. Is it...

    What does it mean To become a minister of All?

    Compassion, gentle, lowly, humble, honest and direct, Jesus was showing us how them how to act towards others. This may not be always possibly online, or sometimes in real life, but it is with those who are Christians. Who desire to do what God had said and to allow those attributes to be done...

    God is not mad, angry, with you.

    Hello to @EddieRamos I believe in context the wrath of God was towards the nation of Israel for killing Jesus Christ: His wrath was poured out in 70ad when Jesus returned for the bride. He isn’t angry at human beings. He might sometimes chasten those he loves though. (Hebrews 12:6) Why is this...

    Jesus talking to the unsaved

    @Titus, You did pose the question so I’ll answer instead for you to see. “If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and...

    What does it mean To become a minister of All?

    “After they arrived at Capernaum and settled in a house, Jesus asked his disciples, “What were you discussing out on the road?” But they didn’t answer, because they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said, “...

    Jesus talking to the unsaved

    Hello Ernest, You remind me to the two way street of God desiring to reach out to man, and mans choice to reach out to God. It’s a persons choice to reach out to God or not, God is constantly calling all to him, but some may be hard of hearing and hearts waxed cold, and their eyes closed...

    Can you be saved if you don't believe in the diety of Christ?

    We live in a fallen world full of broken people. Can you show me in the Bible that is says no second chances? This talking about the closing up and end of the age the Jewish people known all their lives. In context, Jesus told his 4 disciples privately to be aware of times and signs, also...

    Can you be saved if you don't believe in the diety of Christ?

    Rising again: the Soul God gave to a person goes back to him. People keep saying that the soul is lost or destroyed but that is wrong. No one can dictate as though they can justify souls being gone or not being raised again, even if they were not an believer. For they are not God. I shared here...

    Jesus talking to the unsaved

    God is the only one who produces the work abiding in Christ no one can take credit for it. Good comes from God: you have the spirit you walk by the spirit: loving God first, he then works on the heart and mind eventually expressing love towards others through by the spirit given.
