Mine then may connect more closely to the time of Adam! @Helen may remember better than me!

That is good, but how many can surpass my granddaughter, who was 12 years old on 12-12-2012? How significant are 12's?

@Confused-by-Christianity God is the one who solves problems in need of solution. If you or I were a member of a church group with such a problem, then we would have to look to Him... rather than to ourselves. If we are not such a member, then we still need to be looking to Him for...

So then one more denomination added to the thousands would be a solution? Aren't there really too many already? The scriptures only speak of only one Body of Christ with only one Head. If we go to deciding now who is, or is not, a part of the Body may we also cut off the Head as well? I don't...

I agree that we are, or should be, the witnesses for who and what God is or is not. Yet our testimonies do not coincide precisely as you indicate with reference to torment or to power versus love. Yet in the end is not someone going to be like Him? Our pathway put before us by God is the Way, is...

But do we require the evidence of eyewitnesses or do we live for God by faith? "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." Rom 1:17 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For...

And then again...see Joseph and five brothers here: "And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh." Gen 47:2

If a person does not repent his affiliation wouldn't matter to God for he has chosen to remain on the outside of the family of God. On the other hand, if a person really has repented again his affiliation would not matter to God. God is no respecter of persons. He is always looking at a person's...

But is it not likely that the problem lies in those really who insist on this rather than in those, who, not really knowing, simply are trusting God. They may even pay innocent lip service to some errors while trusting God even in places where confusion is part of what is taught. Is this not why...

Is God not looking at our hearts rather than our beliefs and doctrines and milestones? When should we suppose it is that a person has crossed the line between serving himself out of self-love and serving God out of love for Him? Does that not matter more to God than our milestones visible to...

Amen! "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chron 7:14

Which were worse, the unbelieving Pharisees or the unbelieving Sadducees?

Continuing to hold her up before God. May God have His Way in this! Praise His name!

And out of this, schisms and denominations!

"...but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are." John 17:11 So then would you say that when and if we get to where we are kept by His name, the Holy Father's name, no more division...

Wouldn't it be easier to let it run in a continuous loop?

"Already taught"? I wonder about this. My first memory of being aware of God and believing in Him was when I was 6 years old being baptized in the Catholic Church. After that I became a faithful Catholic of my mother's family, loving God alone... for no other person in that family was more than...

Indeed! They did not have the written NT... but they did have Jesus, the Word of God, and what he had spoken to their hearts. Something was definitely contained in the writings available [the OT] but how much of that was understood by even the best of students of that day. What did those...

Really? What "world" are you talking about? This one? "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world,.." John 17:11 Why did he overcome and even leave the world even before he went to Calvary? "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the...

Consider also the saving of Nineveh by the preaching of Jonah and then its destruction about 150 years later as per Nahum. God has a single message but He has a whole bunch of messages if we are able to see and understand them. Will we in the end be dead or alive?
