    Can one be saved while they are all alone?

    What do you mean by credible? You were not there to personally see with your eyes of flesh the miracles of Jesus so why do you accept the witness of those writers of scripture who went to the grave hundreds of years before you were born? Why accept them and accept no testimony of a person today...

    The Cross and The Devil

    Are you are drawing your conclusion to be in agreement with the commonly accepted idea of who satan is? I am no Hebrew or Greek scholar so I must trust others when it comes to the translation we have of scripture, but very simply it appears that the word means adversary. Notice that the Strong's...

    The Cross and The Devil

    Very simply, no, because no one of us, the rest of the lost, could resurrect anyone. We were dead and the dead can do nothing. He was never dead until he lay down his life. There was no death in him... only the potential that Adam and Eve had prior their disobedience. The potential he has was...

    Can one be saved while they are all alone?

    "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." Matt 10:22 So the answer would be when we have endured to the end... when we are able to truthfully say what Paul said: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the...

    Can one be saved while they are all alone?

    Was even the unnamed prophet saved prior to coming out of Judah to prophesy to Jeroboam the first king of the northern 10 tribes as per I Kings 13? He was killed by a lion on his way home because of his disobedience to God... yet his prophecy to the king was fulfilled about 350 years later as...

    Can one be saved while they are all alone?

    "So then do you check everyone's testimony against scripture to decide whether it is true or not? Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John 20:29 Let me relate to you the testimony of a route...

    Why didnt the Protestant Reformation unite.

    With my sciatic nerve [left side] acting up I have to sit these days more than anything else so it just means a bit longer on the computer. But... yes, I do prefer reading a hard copy when I have a choice.

    Why didnt the Protestant Reformation unite.

    @Willie T I started reading the book on Protestantism. I'm a slow reader and I don't have a lot of time to spend on it. I just finished the introduction. I don't like reading a book like that on the computer, but I'll get used to it. Thanks again.

    Why didnt the Protestant Reformation unite.

    Or like those who were building the tower of Babel?

    an open letter to bbyrd009

    Sometimes I believe that we are [immature idiots that is] and sometimes some may indeed be corrupted by what someone else posts. Not to have the fights or even to have disagreements might be good, but then again... "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride." Sometimes when we are sure that our...

    an open letter to bbyrd009

    My wife had 4 brothers, two younger and two older, but all them, including the two older ones came to her for help in time of need. Their mother was insane (no exaggeration) and their father died when my wife was only 8 years old [her oldest brother was 12]. The strongest [not physically] and...

    an open letter to bbyrd009

    Indeed! The power to overcome sin is to be in us via the Holy Spirit within us. If we repeatedly and continuously quench the Holy Spirit [limit God] and go our own way instead with the "lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life" we will never overcome as Jesus overcame... and...

    And who is part of or is to be a part of the Body of Christ?

    When we are the Body, I believe, the connection will be certain and true to the example that Jesus manifested when he ministered as man for 3½ years. This is why John the Baptist said, "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30 And Paul wrote: "For now we see through a glass, darkly...

    Why evil?

    What is evil? Do we ever miss it when we presume that everything we or any man calls evil really is according to God? "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5:20 Paul's...

    Faith or sin

    "Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me." Job 40:7 God wanted not only sincere admission that he was in error but more precisely to recognize where he was in error and why. To speak it right we need to guided by God. Job like most all of us today...

    And who is part of or is to be a part of the Body of Christ?

    What @"ByGrace" meant was I see a difference between the Body and the Bride, but it is not always so clear to me so I won't pursue on this thread. My concern here is more in the direction of every true believer being or becoming a part of the Body of Christ. People stuck to closely to even the...

    And who is part of or is to be a part of the Body of Christ?

    I won't go into the differences [Bride and Body] I have considered here and derail my own thread, but as to the mouths...seriously? Each part is to be the nourished not by food and drink through the carnal mouth, but rather by the consumed flesh and blood of Jesus. It isn't the blood that...

    What's with this thing called THE APOCRYPHA?

    Just so! The original KJV English did include it as did the Luther German versions. The Spanish versions did not. What does God say about it? I am careful not to guess!

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    Wide or not it is certainly reasonable.

    What's with this thing called THE APOCRYPHA?

    My reprint [a word for word facsimile] of the 1611 Kings James English Bible contains the extra books named Apocrypha [Deuterocanonical]. My 2011 KJV Holman English Bible does not. My Reina Valera Revised Spanish in 1602 does not. My 1960 Reina Valera Spanish Bible does not. My Luther...
