    Westboro Baptist Church

    A true Christian goes to the cross with Jesus...as the apostles did later when they had received power from heaven.

    Westboro Baptist Church

    It is in the Jesus they believe is real. The truth is way more uncomfortable than if they were just full of themselves....which they are of course. The cross of Christ takes away all that stands between us and a loving God. Where you see a lack of love....you KNOW that the cross has not done...

    Upon THIS Rock I will build my Church

    Actually...the proof shows a plurality....not necessarily a trinity. When Jesus says... "My Father and I"....that is a duality not a trinity. Even in catholic dogma...the Holy Spirit is the love between Father and Son. Check it out

    Charity

    How many have really had the love of God shed abroad in their hearts? Where is the evidence of that? This thread will probably go to the wayside due to a lack of interest. Sad. But to be expected as this was prophesied in the word.

    Charity

    When I try to explain God's view of the world...which He loves BTW...some people say I'm a universalist...which is far from the truth. My range of understanding goes from perfection in Christ....all the way to annihilation in the lake of fire. But that is the problem, Too many have simplistic...

    what's the point anymore

    There is a mystery at work here. The FATHER (Jehovah) sent a smaller piece of Himself (His Son) ...also Jehovah...that is of the same essence as Himself. A person who is responsible with the Father for this creation we are living in.That is the real identity of Jesus Christ. When God divided...

    For I acknowledge my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me. Psalms 51:3.

    Although they will deny this and say they are trying not to sin...in their own power. Which is a denial of the very grace they claim to have. As in..."I am under grace so it is ok for ME to try not sinning (although I sin all the time). But unbelievers that are trying to do EXACTLY like me are...

    Charity

    I remember seeing a Bugs Bunny episode as a child...about the Tasmanian Devil. Bugs Bunny looked up the diet of a Tasmanian Devil to see if it included rabbits. It didn't seem to. That is...until the Devil turned the page to a whole chapter entitled...Especially rabbits. :) We have that same...

    Westboro Baptist Church

    You are judging others...I am just pointing that out to you...and showing you the dismal end of they who do such things. I am exhorting you to have charity.

    Why Jews were Made, not Born

    You are a true cynic it would seem. But that is not the same as charity..that believes the best always. If your eye is full of light...you will be filled with love. But if your eye is dark...then everything is cynical and ugly. Kind of like Westboro...or the Sanhedrin.

    The Undiscovered Christ

    Why do people always seem to choose the counterfeit over the real? The devil knows what he is doing and always considers the best interest of men. He knows his clientele. Mat' 16:23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your...

    Why Jews were Made, not Born

    ...that sin not. Of course not. But your understanding of righteousness does not exceed that of the Pharisees as you are doing exactly as they did. Quite remarkable really...

    The Undiscovered Christ

    Let's look at how people react to the real Jesus when compared with the counterfeit. There was a man called Jesus Barabbas. He was imprisoned at the same time as Jesus of Nazareth. Now it came the time of Passover that a man should be released to the people. So then a choice was to be made...

    The Undiscovered Christ

    It would seem that no human institution is able to represent the true nature of Jesus Christ...being both fully God AND fully human. This is seen by all and sundry as impossible. So then His nature is divided up piecemeal with each denomination attempting to champion one facet of Christ or the...

    Why Jews were Made, not Born

    This is from a self-righteous stance that seeks to judge others based on what you think you are. But you are sinning worse than the ones you accuse of sin. Jesus was more upset about the religious hypocrites and their iniquity in His time than the ones who were careless about sin in the physical...

    Westboro Baptist Church

    But they are doing as you do...they are misguided enough to think that they are in fact being a witness of truth and are preaching the gospel. You are as blind as they are in this regard. You seek to puff yourself up by comparing yourself to others who do not have the same history. Just as you...

    what's the point anymore

    Sure. The JW's were bible studiers. There is an emphasis on the humanity of Jesus. But this became important only because of the over-emphasis of the other churches on the divinity of Jesus to the detriment of His humanity. It would seem that no human institution is able to represent the true...

    The Israel of God

    The gospel is also preached in this order....first the physical...then the spiritual. First to the Jew ...then the Gentile. Rom. 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile...

    The Israel of God

    The OP is scriptural proof as to the will of God concerning Israel. He ALWAYS thought of Israel as first...a physical thing....then a spiritual thing. 1 Cor. 15;46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. So people will choose to divide what God is bringing...

    The Israel of God

    This is brilliant.
