Is he everyone's Lord, or is he only the Lord of those who have surrendered themselves to him?

@jshiii @"ByGrace" Also praying now for the people listed in the OP.

Yes, they are called Jesus Only. That is to say, each of the Trinitarians three persons in the Godhead according to them are manifestations of the one God whose name is Jesus. That perhaps is oversimplifying it, but I left them as a member for the last time in 1987 so I have no recent personal...

"Jesus is the name of the Father; Jesus is the name of the Son; Jesus is the name of the Holy Ghost; and all these three are one". That is a line from a song I learned when I belonged to the United Pentecostal Church. It very simply describes an important part of their doctrine. They are...

@Mandy Welcome to the forum!

Thank you for what appears to me as your honesty... even though I don't agree with every conclusion. Not many are the historian you seem to be. For me a good historian recognizes his own limitations and understands that what he reads from the writings of others should not be accepted as "gospel"...

I was referring the first love lost by the church at Ephesus. What was that? You shouldn't be generalizing presuming everyone here is included in your pronoun, "we". Anyone who is really slipping back regularly between attended church services is in trouble. I have not attended services...

My point exactly! God works using whatever is available... including in your example literate men to read to illiterate people.

I do use the KJV along with a Luther and Reina Valera Revisada, but this does not mean God could not get His message across by whatever means was available to a really hungry and thirsty person. He once used a donkey to communicate His message so He is certainly not strapped for ways to...

"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Matt 5:6 To me it says that if we are hungry and we are thirsty after righteousness we shall be filled without regard to us needing to use any certain Bible translation. Were people not ever saved...

I am with you on this. I learned to type on an old manual typewriter. I do not even like the laptop I am using at the moment, but my desktop had a manufacturing defect and is in the shop on the warranty for repair. Hopefully it will be back soon. My big hands are nice for the piano bur for small...

We are clear at least on these points. I agree completely with what you have said. He is using me in another way. I am an old man and must use the energy and time remaining to me according to the way I see Him leading me... even though it apparently is in conflict with the way you see. Am I...

No insult received here, my friend! I don't take offense as easily as that. You should, however, be careful about simply repeating what some teacher or textbook has listed as the reasons for the war. Remember that the South lost that war and the losers are not often quoted in textbooks written...

Texas was a part of Mexico until they won a war against Mexico for Independence. They were an independent nation until some years later [dates not recalled] they became one of the states in the United States some time prior the Civil War. In that war they were with the Confederacy [the South].

I don't blame the south. On the contrary it hurts me to see them removing statues and flags and monuments as they have been doing recently. My own family's history in this country was all in the south as well. I blame the ones who are picking on the south just as much. The war was unnecessary...

I've had no experience with a person blind from birth, but as testified to on this forum previously, I knew an elderly sister here in the apartment complex where I live for several years. She died a bit more than a year ago at well past her 90th year. When we first met her she was already...

While you know that I disagree with you in other areas, here my own knowledge of the history of the civil war is on your side. Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union at all costs, and was not only unwilling to sacrifice it because of a point of law but was willing to go to war and did. According...

The Body of Christ will be because it is in God's plan. That many who presume they are already a part will find themselves described this the following verse is also I believe in His plan: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth...

I have a hard time with this because of communication. I also don't like the question. As you Helen @"ByGrace" already know, the definition of Christian or christian for people is all mixed up. The word itself while used in the scriptures has no easy definition in the scriptures to which every...

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:12-13 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the...
