Tut tut...play nice now. :) The false preachers corrupt our souls and the souls of the genuine young seekers. Whereas the cop shows which I love...only steal our time and turn our brains to mush. For sure you not comparing "apples to apples" :D ( as for TV portraying the law as good...we...

Thanks for that :) But if you have to go into hospital they as "Religion"? I have always put protestant or nondenominational...I thought that was the default for Christians which are not Catholics.

I thought that this WAS the faith/belief thread!!o_O If this isn't, where can I find it? :confused: Thanks

Forgot to answer the topic . I believe ...hey, I caught myself right there! lol I just wrote...I believe ...is that really so...or should I have said " I think"? So, it looks like belief must have a foundation to rest upon. Right. So, it is not just a question of it being a 'collection of...

I have mentioned before...good works ( not dead works) you didn't qualify :D Must be done in faith...all that we do must be 'by faith'...."for everything that is not of faith is sin." That is why I contend that a "must do"...is not of faith, but dead works to try and appease a legalist God...

Okay...but is it at all possible to have this discussion in ref to the question - " are beliefs and faith the same thing?" without it ending up referencing Protestant v Catholic beliefs!! I am so tired of that subject dominating the Site ..Yawn.. If we can, I'm in...if we can't, I am...

Yes :) (But no scripture reference.. lol) Because 'it is given unto man once to die..'. I have always believed that they are first...while the rest who did not make that calling and election ( the foolish virgins) slept. Just my two cents :)

@BreadOfLife Also...my faith is not "shaky"....because I know on whom I believe. My faith is in Him, not in what I believe ...or in what I don't believe. If I 'abide in Him'...He has promised to lead me all the way home... :)

Sorry I think I must have written that incorrectly. I do tend to do that! "I" understand what I mean, I just presume others do too. I didn't think I needed to qualify in ref to the Cross or the finished work of Christ. I just presumed that we are here on this site because He is our rock and...

I trust everyone slept well...it makes such a difference to our day. :)

I found your statement interesting...and I hope this is not going off topic. But, I have always thought ( but according to your post,) wrongly...that if we are not Roman Catholics we are therefore Protestants!! I've always thought that.. 1) So if you are not either...what are you? 2) And...

Amen John I totally agree...That is how I hold all things...I believe them...but I 'hold them loosely' because I 'could' just be wrong. I doubt it, but I could. :D That is wisdom. So many people get angry and rude when told ...'No, you actually do not KNOW, because the time is not yet on...

hahaha!! Ah, so there you are...good one's Job :) Off to bed now...God bless you....H

Re Opening Post... I believe that is part of the authority given to the church by the Lord. When we were in the deliverance ministry we used it much. We were taught many decades ago that , lets say, when someone wants to know more about the Lord and is a seeker , yet they someone cannot...

Talk about the pt calling the kettle back!! I just replied to your other thread where you wrote to me saying that what you seem to write things which some find unacceptable....and here YOU are being rude about something 'in God' that I treasure. Why do you talk about things that you know...

Sorry Jim No offence intended. I just thought that you knew, and wanted to share it with us and tell us all about it.

You are ignorant and rude. THAT has nothing to do with the Opening Post! Stay on the subject.

Well said.

A spiritual gift is a spiritual gift...why would anyone say 'no thank you' to the Lord? When I have no idea what a person's needs are, or how to help someone in any given situation...I pray in tongues for them, God has all the answers that they need...my English language at that point is of no...

Good reminder and blessing...thank you Frank. ✟
