Is anyone able to see the point? I'll say it again... sincerly... if you don't see the point, try. Because, I (and my wife) has no doubt that it was the RIGHT DECISION to not take a pregency test in that moment of UNFAITHFULNESS, and if you doubt my judgment, you doubt God's, because it is...

Did Joshua give Israel rest? The implication is "NO!"Thus, the rest which God was denying those rebellious Israelites who refused to go into the promised land, was His future Kingdom rest.Hebrews 4:9 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. The implication is that there still...

(treeoflife;53138) Paul tells us that whatsoever is not of faith is sin... -- Romans 14:23------------------Why? Are pregnancy tests sinful? No, not in and of themselves. But, if not taken in faith... all things are sinful.What is sin? Sin is simply missing the mark. Most of us have...

I personally don't think we should take the Rich man and Lazarus as real people.I feel sorry for any true believer who lived like Lazarus (with dogs licking his sores). This is not normally the way God treats his people.So, I don't think we should treat the rich man as a real, literal person...

Hi allLuke 16 tells of the Rich Man who is one of the "incorrigibly wicked" who is raised, judged, and about to be burnt up in the lake of fire which will cover the earth like lava - purifying it.There is a difference between eternal punishment and eternal punishing. Death is eternal punishment...

(SillySeth;36842) This last weekend, I heard Pastor Brian say that God is not a formula for your every want and desire. ...In a society all about Me!, Me!, and Me!, we get the things we want. Whether that means working a few extra hours at our job in order to get the new iPhone, the slickest new...

(whirlwind;29499) It is impossible to know the experience of others. Never having actually "heard" the voice of God makes me wonder if perhaps those that claim they have are playing a game of one-up-manship over others. Especially those on television :naughty:. Be very careful of them.But...

Hi JipI have never heard a voice, and I don't listen to my dreams (I know others might).I believe in feeling conviction about something, and checking that it is in line with the word.God spoke to folks in the OT in various ways, like a still small voice to Elijah, a voice to Samuel, dreams to...

John 20:2 2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Mark 10:21 1 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing...

It would be unreasonable to think that man is made in God's image - and that God does not have a sense of humor.All societies have humor.The way the Bible is written is not in a humerous way - because if it were - it would be even more confusing because we would not know when God was joking.

Hi allI think wisdom is simply being able to get whatever you will done.Thus there are many types of wisdom.For instance, the wisdom of this world.Folks who want to make money, are very good at doing so. They are wise in this area. They will move heaven and earth to get their latest scheme off...

Hi allI see this scripture to be saying that it is hard to see into the future.But when the future arrives, it will be perfectly known.

(Ztheberean;23325) This is why we need to (learn how) to come from (OUR )faith to (Christ’s) faith (Rom 1:17); Those who have lifted themselves up cannot walk uprightly, because they are living by “their own” faith not (CHRIST) faith (Hab 2:4) Hi Z and allA lot of what you said is true.But the...

Hi allChrist's first miracle was at the wedding feast in Cana where He changed water to wine.There is no indication that he was there to preach. In all likelihood he was there to enjoy the wedding with his disciples. He rather reluctantly got drawn into doing something "religious" viz. doing a...

JagYou wrote..."I would never say there is such thing as an imperfect faith...because of this scripture...Luke 18:8 - I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"The scripture you quoted seems to imply an answer of...

(thesuperjag;23182) Kriss, there is no such thing as imperfect faith. You either have faith in Christ and the Word of God or you don't. It's that simple.Jag Wow Jag. I was just going to say the opposite - is there any such thing as perfect faith? I know I don't have it, and I cannot think of...

There are many commands in the Bible, including the one to go to church.There are commands like 1 Timothy 6:8 "And having food and raiment let us be therewith content" and Ephesians 4:26 "let not the sun go down upon your wrath" etc. I think we all try to do what the Bible says. But sometimes...

James 4:5-7 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace.Surely the context gives the correct interpretation of this verse.Firstly, we need to look for a scripture which says something like the above.I think this is...

(cooolway;23109) There are 4 dimensions in this universe, x, y, z, and time. The almighty God(Allah) is not restricted within these dimensions, since he created them.So he knows the future past and present. While it is true that God created the 4 dimensions - you cannot say that these did not...
