The Word of God says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Do you believe that everyone who has ever lived has instilled in them a desire to...

One thing to keep in mind is that the apostles’ teachings are based on the teachings of Jesus. Start by looking at what Jesus taught. Look at how Jesus redefined the Law of God; He did not abolish it but gave us pointers how to accomplish it. Look especially at what He taught His disciples...

The Word of God says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Do you believe that everyone who lived until now felt the existence of...

The story of Job is a good example of God!s power over Satan. Read the first two chapters of the book of Job, and you will see that God sets limits to what Satan can do. I believe that God also has foreknowledge of what Satan will do, but Satan himself is restricted in what he can do.

As long as we realize that we are in need of constant repentance, there is still hope that God can finish his work in us. If God can not work in us, it is ALWAYS because of our lack of faith. Have faith that God can work, and allow Him to work, and He will finish what He started in you.

a). Loving your neighbors and ignoring what they do are totally two different things b). Jesus is the Son of God, and he did not come to destroy the law that God gave but to show us how to fulfill it through love. If you think that Jesus never spoke against homosexuality, read Matthew 10:15...

Everyone battles with sin and is responsible before God regarding what they do and how it affects others, and if we realize that sin affects not only our relationship with God but also with others, the issue becomes what we do to restore our relationships. To say that everybody sins is not...

They are all the same, because THEY ARE ALL SIN AND CAN BE STOPPED.

The only problem I have with the statement at the top is the quotation marks around the word choice, because that also implies that we have no say in whether we sin or not, which is completely false. Paul’s letter to Titus says that the grace which has been shown us teaches us to break away...

God gave us the freedom to choose between doing what is right and wrong, and God punished the first sin in the garden of Eden and still punishes sin today.

In John 15, Jesus describes Himself as the True Vine, saying that the branches which do not bear fruit are cut and cast in the fire so that the vine can bear more fruit. If in this parable the good fruit represent those who are in the True Vine, who are the ones represented in the last three...

In John 15, Jesus describes Himself as the True Vine, saying that the branches which do not bear fruit are cut and cast in the fire so that the vine can bear more fruit. If in this parable the good fruit represents those who are in the True Vine, who are represented in the last three verses of...

At this time, Satan has the power to influence the world and even blind the eyes of the world, twisting what God says. However, Satan is a fallen creature, and God is still in control of what happens. Satan has the power to influence people, but God has power over what Satan can do, and...

Reconciliation starts with forgiveness, and in my understanding, forgiveness is remembering without holding grudges rather than simply avoiding the issue. And if forgiving starts with a person asking for forgiveness—or at least it used to start this way—forgiveness and reconciliation require...

Not only details of the story are missing, but now it starts to sound hypothetical. In my initial comment to Drivenfuture I was saying that the best way to show feelings of sorrow and intent to reconcile is through actions which show that he still cares about the pastor’s family and church...

Drivenfuture mentioned feeling like everyone turned their backs on him instead of showing interest in helping him, and after a while, he even felt apologetic for feeling abandoned. Feelings of abandonment don’t come when one turns his or her back on others, but when others turn their backs on...

In the other hand, God did everything to reconcile us with Him. If we are to follow His example of love, we should not give up in showing love to those God loves.

Changing social groups might help for a while, but this will not help you escape from the problem. If you are leaving a social group in which there are people you care about, your thoughts will turn towards that group long after leaving it. The best thing to do is to forgive them and find ways...

Dear drivenfuture, I want to tell you that I sympathize with you wholeheartedly. For a very long time, I have been on the same side as you. I felt ostracized by those I loved. Even though on the outside they tried to hide their true feelings behind friendly smiles, there was no doubt that...

Ephesians 2 says that God gas prepared good works for those who are saved.
