    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    Individuals do go their own ways even followers of Christ early on... All of them should be approaching that collective body you mention with Jesus as the Head of it all, but many are stunted in their growth and never learn to be a part of the whole and subject always to the Head. You wish you...

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    But where He chooses would be His choice. What about ours? Do we not have one? Some seem to think not... If we do not ,why is the matter of a man's choice mentioned in scripture as if he had one?

    Calvinism is NOT a Cult!

    Where is it that He is not? "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there." Psalm 139:7-8 Perhaps we cannot see Him or hear Him, but certainly He is always not far...

    Why Christians Disagree

    How much and what of help does the natural parent provide a crawling toddler as opposed to a budding teenager? When you listen to a man, be it me or another, if you are sincere in your desire to approach God, also ask of God. What we, the men, may have told you wrong, God will correct when He...

    Why Christians Disagree

    Christian believers disagree for the same reasons that natural little children disagree. Sometimes both sides are in error. Sometimes one is in error and the other is right. Sometimes both sides are right but they simply are unable to properly communicate. Real believers begin like natural...

    The Amazing Ship which Noah Built

    I have no doubt that some good things are being discovered as they seemingly have been in the past. However, without faith in God even the most careful and smartest of scientists will miss the most important of discoveries. Modern technology and given us much but it has not fixed the worst...

    What is the correct view on genesis

    Saved? Yes, but not in the senses of those invested in OSAS [Once Saved Always Saved]. In my heart I believe there is faith in some things as well as knowledge of some things. In this moment I cannot describe precisely the dividing line between them. My knowledge is not in error, but some of my...

    The Amazing Ship which Noah Built

    Ideally that should be so with persons working in science, but as a matter of fact even people working in science are still people subject to the same shortcomings as the rest of us. I would take people as they come, one at the time. Give each one the benefit of a doubt, but go slow on presuming...

    What is the correct view on genesis

    I did not say that you are lost. It is not given to me to know that even though I may have an opinion.

    What is the correct view on genesis

    You do not understand, but presume that all Christians do understand Him completely. They do not because He is God and they are not. A person can grow closer to God and as he approaches his understanding will improve, but anywhere along the way a person may walk in error and may stumble. How...

    The Amazing Ship which Noah Built

    Your presumption of course is that what science has identified as a law can never be in error. With regard we believe by faith that He is never in error... but at times and on certain issues we simply cannot understand Him.

    What is the correct view on genesis

    It is not God that is inconsistent, but men. People who don't know Him at all cannot understand. People who do know Him in most cases know Him only in a measure so their answer depends upon that measure. When all of us have attained to [if we do] the "face to face" vision at all times as cited...

    The Coming Great Apostasy

    So did I my friend! Mine lasted for about 10 years.

    ~ What say you? ~

    Hopefully your sleeping times will improve. I know how difficult it can be even to think when overtired. As to my pastor, the meeting he attended was good as per his confirmation, but the travel was not. I won't go into the details on the open forum, but I do ask for prayer regarding that...

    ~ What say you? ~

    One bad night behind me, but I have a sleeping problem the machine anticipated and it shut itself down. Machine corrected today and I took a short but good nap. Tonight now my pastor is finally arriving and I am meeting him at the local airport. After that maybe my first good night's sleep with...

    Poll - Tattooing: from male military and biker ethos...to viable witness means for both genders?

    I do understand and agree with the comments. Each of us in our flesh retain biases when we should not... except of course for any who have already overcome the world as Jesus overcame the world. How many overcomers have we known or do we now know?

    The Mountain Top

    What's the weather like where you are?

    Sleet coming down now in Oklahoma! A good time to stay indoors if at all possible.

    Divisions

    We don't agree but I'm not biting on this any more. I live by faith. I could give you scriptures but you would disagree with my take, be it fact or opinion or...? God gives the increase, so let us pray that He increase each of us He sees the need.

    The trouble with religion

    Yes, we can come together with others in His Name anywhere God chooses, including in a building named "church". While there because someone is in His Name, we may also learn some good things. Many [but perhaps not all] have been and will be called out of such places to work in the field God has...
