In response to having a post deleted as per ‘newer’ forum rules, FWIW, can we please have some equality on the issue of the trinity? Apparently it cannot be discussed either for or against this very controversial doctrine, yet many posts are still appearing on this topic and only one group is...

A short video series that shows us in beautiful detail, how creation demonstrates God’s personality…. “WAS IT DESIGNED”? Jehovah wants us to be happy.

“Babylon the great” is also translated as “the greater Babylon…..so, what is the Babylon connection? What do those in “Babylon the great“ all have in common? And why is it God’s instruction for his “people” to “get out of her” before he brings her to ruin? (Rev 18:4-5) Why are his “people” in...

I heard a talk recently on this subject....identity theft is gaining momentum around the world......someone can steal your identity and ruin your reputation without you being able to prevent it, and often without you even being aware of it. The damage done can be long lasting as you try to prove...

From another thread…..@1stCenturyLady Do we never ask why the devil, who knew who this “son of God“ was before he became Jesus the man, but even so, tried to tempt him into disobedience by putting selfish desires ahead of obedience to his God and Father? This is how the devil created himself...

We all know how history paints this awful event in the city of Hiroshima, and the one that followed in Nagasaki three days later….but how is the story told from the other side? How are the stories, told from two different perspectives, imprinted on the minds and hearts of those who experienced...

We all know someone who has cancer now or who has died of cancer in one of its many forms....it’s been an “epidemic” for decades and the rates are increasing. With all the advances in medical science, we have made little progress in the treatment of cancer. The only options that doctors are...

Reading my daily text this morning, I was prompted to post the warnings that are mentioned concerning this 'thing' in human nature that can lead us off the path to life, entirely. Keep your eyes open and guard against every sort of greed.—Luke 12:15. "Greed led Judas Iscariot to become a...

All of a sudden threads are disappearing from the one part of the forum that was open to "unorthodox" views. Can I ask the mods why? Those who have no interest in unorthodox views do not have to read or post there, so why are threads being taken down when they are only posted for those with an...

This is a thread designed to evaluate the Bible's teachings against what is accepted in Christendom as such. I come from the perspective of being a believer in Christendom's doctrines until I actually checked out the Bible for myself, and when I studied it, I used my own KJV because it was the...

"Salvation" is a common topic among professed Christians, but the whole idea of it has been warped and twisted into something that has no bearing on why God created humans to live on this earth in the first place. If you pull everything together under a "big picture", all of the diverse ideas...

This is a question from another thread which I believe deserves a thread of its own. Baptism by full immersion in the Jordan River was first carried out by John the Baptist for the Jews who had transgressed the Law. (Luke 3:3) It was a public symbol of their repentance and John B had been sent...

Imagine that you are among a crowd of people who have just witnessed a severely paralyzed man being healed before their very eyes. The healer told the man: “Get up and pick up your bed and be on your way home.” And the man did just that! He was no longer paralyzed! No wonder that those present...

"For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive." (1 Corinthians 15:22 ESV) The apostle Paul’s letter was written to spirit anointed Christians in Corinth, who would be resurrected to life in heaven. Those Christians were "called to be saints” or "holy ones".... "Paul...

I see Christians all the time taking for granted that they are going to heaven....but what makes you think so? Some questions...... 1) If you think that you are heaven bound, what do you imagine that you will do in heaven that you cannot do on earth? 2) Are all Christians going to heaven...

@stunnedbygrace and @Rita in response to your request..... How did this law apply to the Jews? Here is what I have found in my research..... Apparently the Jews were making frivolous oaths in God's name, and failing to live up to them, thus taking God's name in vain. This meant using God's name...

It seems to me from studying the scriptures, that death is the end of life, not the beginning of another one. The Jews believed was that death sent one to "sheol" which they themselves interpret as "the Grave". Every human went to this same place. In the Greek Septuagint, (Hebrew to Greek OT)...

@Wrangler "Some who say that they accept Jesus’ teachings view him as God’s Son, not as the Creator himself. Others believe in “the divinity of Christ” and think that he is actually God. They hold that Jesus always existed and was more than a human when he was here on the earth. Are they right...

The one thing I see Americans demonstrate more so than most others who identify as Christians, is their attitude towards prayer. I see people saying that they will pray for a certain person, or group, or family, or that people will ask others to pray for them.....so I have to wonder what is...

When God created the heavens and the Earth, He brought everything into existence in one almighty act of power......but we Earthlings have no way to know how he did it, or how long it took him in earth time. To an infinite God, time is not relevant. Other verses in the Bible complete the...
