    What is the defining mark of a Disciple of Christ?

    How can we recognize a disciple of the Lord, Jesus Christ? The Lord Himself gave us this sign to look for: Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples...

    Does Christ's command to love one another count on the internet?

    I recently heard someone excuse his rather obnoxious behavior by saying something along the lines of "well, you are just a faceless entity on the internet". And it pulled me up short, if you know what I mean. We need to realize...each "faceless entity" is a real person, just like us. Do you...

    I wonder if anyone has any idea what Jesus meant?

    Jesus said: Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. What did He...

    The Didache and the Law

    To read the text of the Didache in English, go to: http://www.paracletepress.com/didache.html Meantime, according to whoever wrote the Didache...and there is evidently evidence that shows that the Apostles actually wrote it, although I'm no scholar and I would not know. If you thought that...

    What is this thing called "sin"?

    I'm a bit confused, here. I'm told that all have sinned. I'm told that our sin has separated us from God. I am told that it is our sin that put Our Lord, Jesus Christ up on the cross. I believe these things. But what is "sin"? The Beloved Disciple has the answer: 1Jn 3:4 Whosoever...

    Grace

    We hear the word a lot, but are we quite sure we know what it really means? The best description of Grace that I ever heard follows: There is a story told from Civil War days before America’s slaves were freed, about a northerner who went to a slave auction and purchased a young slave girl...

    When Mary called her little Boy in to supper, what did she call Him?

    I'm pretty sure she didn't call Him Jesus. As I understand it, there was no "J" in the Greek or the Hebrew at that time...I am appealing here to the scholars among us, but I'm pretty sure I'm right on this. Evidently, Jesus' actual name would have been something like "Yehoshua", which would...

    Analysis of 1 Timothy 4:1 and how it disproves the OSAS doctrine

    1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils The Holy Spirit speaks, and tells us that, in the latter times some shall depart from the faith. But OSAS states that it is impossible...

    More violence in our cities?

    I'm just wondering... What do you guys think about the controversy surrounding the "Black Lives Matter" movement? http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/08/30/black-lives-matter-chant-called-disgusting-by-police-leader/

    Caught In The Act (by request)

    Shiri sat in her kitchen, gazing out of her tiny kitchen window. She felt so lonely and depressed. Her husband, Dar, had not been home in three days. It had been so different, she thought, when they had first gotten married. She had been a shy and frightened bride...but Dar had soon cured her of...
