“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” This community of strangers possesses no inherent right of its own...nor do they claim such right for they are meek, the renounce every right of their own and live for the sake of Jesus Christ. When reproached, they hold their peace; when...

Its about the same with me Jon. I have been good and bad, but better as of late.

Doubt is sometimes healthy but salvation is not a guess. Those chosen by Jesus will have it made known to them at the appointed time. From that point on the single purpose of the individual is to glorify God. This is done through the imitation of Christ. Imitation meaning that you flee from all...

Follower here, I don't really know how many people or any for that matter are still here that were here when I was still active but I'm back and hopefully for a while. I missed everyone.

I suggest everyone here read, thoroughly and prayerfully, all of Matthew 24. But just a few verses that make it PAINFULLY clear that Jesus does not return before the tribulation to gather his people:" 29"Immediately after the distress of those days " 'the sun will be darkened, and the...

I have come to others about this before and one person told me something very interesting. It has stuck with me. That is, that perhaps God has made me this way, for now, for a specific reason. Maybe there is something coming up in my life that I couldn't handle if I were not so stoic. Maybe this...

QUOTE (Jordan @ Feb 17 2009, 08:54 PM) Well everybody comes from different directions... Your situation are different than mine. But I can say is Make an effort for a change. Sorry if I'm not helping much, but that's the only advice I can give you. God is not going to do all the work for us. We...

Its not that I don't care about people's feeling or stuff like that. I want to, I want to have a softened heart and feel towards people the same way God feels towards people. Loving always and weaping when they sin against him. But I can't..I want to, I try. i just don't

I have read much in scripture of God hardening the hearts of people and of some just having heardend hearts. The meaning here is quite clear. What use is a heardened heart? Does it feel, does it compassion, does it love as Christ loves? Certainly not.My reason for bringing this here is a...

Thank you very much for your help. I will attempt it again with what you have given me. God Bless~Follower

I recently tried reading the book of Ecclesiastes and I didn't get very far into chapter one before I was totally confused!! Could somebody please explain to me what is going on in this book because I must be missing something here.

Jordan isn't saying Pauls teachings contain lies, because in all honesty they aren't Pauls teachings. All scripture is God breathed. What Jordan is trying to say is that in everyday life people lie, Paul wasn't perfect. But thats not to say the scripture in which he was the author is not...

Iwould take Romans, its very extensive and covers soo much.

Is there a picture or something yall are looking at??

(Swamp Fox;61204) I Samuel 16:15 I added the emphasis because folks miss the key statement. Remember that Satan's words are also found in the Bible. Does that make them true? (Obviously not.) Yes the Lord withdrew his Spirit from Saul, documented by verse 14. And obviously he would know what...

1 Samuel 16:14-15 14 Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil [b] spirit from the LORD tormented him. 15 Saul's attendants said to him, "See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you. Now at first glance these verses kind of throw me for a loop, an EVIL spirit FROM the...

(marksman;60850) I think you will have to back this up from scripture follower of christ. There is sufficient evidence there to suggest that it is more than just getting wet. I see it as a quality of life issue inasmuch that baptism in the time of the NT was used by many religions not just "The...

I was babtized as an infant. But I wasn't saved until just last year. But even if I were to be baptized now it wouldn't do anything. Water is just water,it does nothing for salvation.

Okay these two verses in Romans are really interesting to me. But there are a few opinions on here I would like first.Romans 8:29-3029For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30Moreover whom he...
