“Christianity isn’t about comfort - it’s about carrying your cross.“ - Trevor Sheatz

“When are our names written in the Book of Life ... and can they be removed? When we are conceived! Anyone who has ever ‘received the breath of life’ (Genesis 2:7) - including those who are living now - has their name written in the Book of Life. However, it is possible to have your name...

Funny you should mention that. There is a small gold circle on the side of my mailbox. We don’t know where it came from or how it got there but it was put there by someone shortly after JW’s knocked on our door about 7 years ago. They haven’t been back since. It may just be a coincidence but...

I found a documentary about them. Don’t watch it if you’re alone.

“What about the millions who died before the Good News of the kingdom reached them? Is it fair to exclude them without them having a chance to be saved? How can heaven be a delight for anyone who knows that there are large numbers of people suffering in a hell that they had no possibility of...

I thought about including a link in the OP for the benefit of those who aren’t familiar with him. I decided not to but I know that it will be helpful for many. (I left it simply at him being a pagan who lived in the 3rd century, thinking that might suffice.) I had a student one time who said he...

I agree. Is possible for someone who has never even heard of God to love and obey him?
