But are not some people in some groups wrong not necessarily because of their group's doctrines or creeds, but because of their own hearts? On the other hand, are not some people in some groups right, not because of their group's doctrines or creeds, but because of their own hearts?

Does the USA as a country or nation, trust in God? Some people who live here certainly do, even among the many [more than 80%] who bear the label of Christian, how many really do trust God before anything and everything else?

Without a doubt you are correct, but sometimes, or even often, people will argue [discuss?] from the point of view they want to be true rather than from what God wants them to say or what He wants to say through them. Jesus prayed, "...nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." What is...

"All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits." Prov 16:2 So wrote Solomon and the Lord is still weighing the spirits whether one believes that salvation can or cannot be lost. Ultimately, of course, we would all agree that it cannot. The difficulty lies in...

And everything else that is Jesus. Is Jesus not the Word of God? What is the Bible? Is any part to be excluded? If so who would qualify to make the decision? Give God the glory!

I have another friend who believes somewhat like you in that he finally stopped attending any church meetings regularly because he stood by himself on a number of doctrines. That is a lonely place and it is not the right place as I see it. The right place is the one, I believe, is where in spite...

Perhaps I have begun to understand you old friend, Oneoff. Let us not forget the position of Abraham once President of the United States: "I have never united myself to any church, because I have found difficulty in giving my assent without mental reservation, to the long complicated statements...

This thing of being "in Christ" or "in the name" is perhaps one of the most important, if not the most important thing for a person to understand. I remember the now very old argument between oneness people and trinitarians as to which words should be pronounced aloud by a person performing a...

Yes, we need to moving in the direction of being an overcome all of the time. To move backward is to die in sin. To stand still is to die in sin. How close can we get to God? How close will we allow ourselves to approach Him? The limit is not in God, but in us!

[ I understand what you are saying here. Each of us who has been called by God has a part, a job. This is why getting together in the Body is so important. If we fail to do so, we will as an isolated organ of the natural human body, in spite of being healthy in ourselves will necessarily die...

Yes, any one that sins at all is not completely one with God as Jesus is one with Him. Jesus prayed for us in John 17 asking that we be made one with Him and His Father. Yes, we are at best seeing through a "glass darkly" and "hearing His voice" also only in part. We must get closer than that...

I believe that I have heard his beliefs. I was on T2O when he joined there and also when he was banned. I disagreed with the decision to ban him even though I also had some doubts about some of the things that he said. I still do, but I know that I have changed my own beliefs about God and about...

Is it not mandatory to become like Jesus at some point? Many say that will not happen until after our natural death when the dirt is already thrown onto our faces. What if that is wrong? Isn't it possible, that after the dirt is thrown on our faces it will be too late. Is there any more...

Why are so many here so quick to go into the attack mode? Thankful1's name is not Jesus, but the one we know whose name was Jesus in the written text was under attack on a regular basis because He only told the truth. Thankful simply says that he hears directly from Jesus. What is so very wrong...

Everything God gave us will be considered, both the things man may see as pluses [+++] or minuses [- - -]. Then God in the end will judge each person in accord with what he did or did not have. God judgment unlike the jdgment of men will alway be fair. If a person is born with the brain of an...

"Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound." Isaiah 30:26

Hello Sharla! The message of scripture is clear that without love [charity] we do not have anything at all: "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all...

You are certainly right, Robbie, in finding that Love is the most important thing. Jesus thought so! "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto...

And then again, He taught blessings! "And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they...

Didn't you know that everyone is right Aspen? "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2 And as for criticism... "Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will...
