The Bereans were comparing Christianity to pagan religions. Far easier to come to a conclusion, especially with the guidance of the Holy Ghost. For a person to try to search and compare Christian religions, it is far more difficult. Which Christian local Assembly is the true local...

Have you read Revelations 12 and the war in heaven and the fall of Lucifer/satan?

I believe that as a born-again Christian, you should be enveloped in the love of God, and this should cause you to not sin. But there may be circumstances where you fall out of the envelope and we do sin. So God has given us a repentance process that if done properly will get us back into his...

To you, is a person that says they are born again will never sin again?

It is the question. Do you believe that Jesus was made perfect, without sin, with a nature that cannot sin? I do not. I believe he was made of a mortal woman and inherited all her attributes including the tendency toward sin. It is Jesus's triumph and why he is God because he overcame the...

All Christians have the obligation to correct an error in our Christian doctrines. What we do not have the obligation to do is get angry when someone does not believe our correction is correct. It is one thing to be rejected, it is a whole other thing to react to the rejection wrongly, by...

If we cannot execute our will, and God's will supercedes our will, then we are good or bad depending upon God's will. IOW God determines who will go to heaven and who will burn eternally in the lake of fire and brimstone, based on His good pleasure. IOW does that sound like the loving...

I think this is a twisted view of mankind and his relationship with his Creator.

You are aware that "a lake of fire and brimstone" is a metaphor. A wonderful, all powerful, loving creator would never put one of his creations in a lake of fire and brimstone for eternity to suffer the burning sensation of a fire, 24/7 X trillions of years. Think about it. I can think of God...

Read Romans 1:20 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: This scripture basically says that the world and all the invisible things that...

Welcome to the forum. My hobby is studying both sides of the evolution/creationism debate. So you are an evolutionary creationist???? Does that mean that you believe God created everything and then put everything on auto pilot and evolution (both micro and macro) took over and God let it...

I am not a Jehovah's witness, but could you give me the name of the God Jesus is referring to in Revelations 3:12? Not once, not twice, not three times, but 4 times. Jesus calls this God, "my God". Who is this "my God" that Jesus refers to?

Then do you believe that: 1) this 3 in 1 God existed in a 3 in 1 form as a spirit, before the life of Jesus on earth? 2) this 3 in 1 God was born of Mary and dwelt in human form during the life of Jesus? 3) this 3 in 1 God was crucified on Calvary? 4) this 3 in 1 God was resurrected and dwells...

So you believe the Son is Spirit, even though in Luke 24 he testified from his own mouth that he is flesh and bone? "for a spirit hath not flesh and bone as ye see me have". This creates a problem for you because you have to deal with Jesus being flesh and bone after his resurrection. And...

In the scriptures Jesus appears to his frightened disciples and told them not to be afraid, he said, behold my hands and my feet, handle me and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bone as ye see me have. (see Luke 24:39) According to the doctrine of the Trinity, the 3 in the Godhead are made...

This thread is a microcosm of all Christianity. Many different interpretations of the trinitarian doctrine. Which one is true? Is the trinitarian doctrine true?

Very good research. Although "I AM" is a fine name, for it testifies that Jesus exists and is alive and well, and is in control of this earth. However, "I WILL BE" gives us more information. YHWH of the OT = Jesus of the NT. YHWH = Yahweh Elohim (Lord God in english, and Yahweh Elohim in...

The conundrum is not my misunderstanding of God's grace, it is my misunderstanding of all of God's word. The conundrum is everyone's misunderstanding of all of God's word. Not just 1 passage, but of many, many passages. Why do you think there are thousands of Christian churches all preaching...

John 3:16 is one of the great scriptures in the bible, but it is also one of the problems of the bible. It reads: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. This passage suggests that all you...

So you can tell if one is saved? If they are willing to serve the Lord (doing good works for the Lord), then we can determine that they are saved, right? If they are unwilling to serve the Lord, then if they thought they were saved, they really weren't, right?
