Would you ever listen to a poor pauper? Imagine listening to someone in a wheelchair share on ''by His stripes we are healed''. How embarrassing and awkward. Let's address this subject properly. I am bumping heads with many and am wondering to myself if I am missing something. On poverty I...

When we go through hardships we wonder this. Nothing except the actual need being met can comfort us. But is this true? There is scriptural truth and impeccable logic that we can hold onto to see us through hardships. Truth as tangible as the need being met. Scripture: John 3:16 For God so...

I was thinking today how sad it is for those who don't believe in the trinity. One-day when they grasp this / are completely sold on the idea, I doubt they will stay Christians. If the trinity is not true: 1. John 3:16 'For God so loved the world'. Should read 'For God found someone to love...

Hi all. I am just interested in CB's stats on this. I believe in OSAS. But only from God's perspective. He does not make mistakes. We do.

I am going through a phase of judging myself and others around me. Join me ! Are you a sucky Christian? We think we pass but we actually FAIL at Christianity. - If I had to harass and tease you. How long before you smack me? 1 hour, 10 hours = 0/10 Christianity. Jesus is longsuffering. -...

Indian white tiger kills man at Delhi zoo http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-29325778 Many at work have asked me what I would do if I was in that guy's shoes. The answer is simple. Defend myself as best I can and just accept death if it comes. The REAL question imho is....what would you...

Luke 22:42 ''Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done''. Why was God saying this to Himself? I believe it is because He has an inner conflict, namely: Love for His creation VS Hatred of sin. The cross is proof that God's love for His creation is...

Is there such a thing? With evidence of God from 1. intelligent design available simply by looking at the palm of our hand (http://realtruth.org/articles/091207-003-science.html) and 2. the simple math in a realm limited by the laws of physics (0+0 does never equal 1), who in their right mind...

Rev 12:7-12 7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan...

If you had to explain to someone how to fulfil the first commandment, what would you say? After much thought on this I have realized this is not a simple a question. John 14:15 reads easily. ''If ye love me, keep my commandments.'' But we have a dilemma. How do we love God by obeying the...

Many have the wrong idea of what wielding the word of God with skill is. We have no excuses for getting this wrong. None of us want others to think of us as false teachers. Shouldn't the thought that we may be one cause us to tremble at God's feet? Wielding the word with skill is not: -...

What's your view? A good friend of mine was made an elder at his church recently. I am happy for him. But .....he is 33. So, I was looking through scripture on qualifications for elders mentioning / suggesting age and found nothing (apart from the elders = elders) It's a joke imho. It should...

Corrupt leaders = Proof of free will? Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers (governing authorities). For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. That verse is pretty clear. Now, let's use some lateral thought. - Would God ever ordain someone...

I was busy replying to someone on this thread and the anointing of God came over me. It caused me to re-edit my entire post :lol:. If we can't reply with an overwhelming love seeping into our words written, what's the point of discussing here, as Christians? God is an all consuming fire Heb...

Creationist Christians are not driven by a hatred for science, but by a love for God and His word. We accept that scripture is not an encyclopedia of all there is to know but what it does state is inspired by God and cannot be ignored. 2 Pet 1:21 For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of...

Let everyone know that you are a Christian asap :). Advantages: 1. Less immoral conversations to endure. 2. The glory for any good work goes immediately to God. 3. God-haters revealed before they stab you in the back. 4. Fellow Christians immediately approach. No working with assumptions...

I know this is a taboo subject, but have you ever applied your mind properly to it? This is happening quite a lot today. Christian parents want to spare their baby a likely eternity in hell so they kill them early to guarantee them a spot in heaven at the risk of losing their spot for murder...

Hi, just something to think about :). Birth control, God's will or ours? An apple clearly gives us energy. A fish clearly gives us protein. Bread clearly gives us carbs. What in nature clearly gives us birth control? God gave us an eyelid to close and open our eyes at will, yet nothing for...

I used to feel that God was to blame for many things. I never challenged these assumptions properly. This can happen so easily today in our Christian walk. I put this together for an atheist site but also feel it is a meaningful topic for Christians to discuss. We accuse God of so many things...
