    ...which means that others (of the faith) copy you, in the end...

    Hi there, So for those of you who diligently parse the Word of God and respond with what is wise, have hope! The Lord will not allow people of other doctrines to rule over you! If you have been down-pressed debating things online and you know you have been in the will of the Holy Spirit, but it...

    Why does God allow suffering? If life did not suffer, the spirit of that life would not last long enough (selah)

    Hi there, So the perennial question about God allowing suffering has a simple answer. It is not an answer that changes that we must suffer, just that the suffering has a purpose. That purpose is life-long, and it means that we can acclimatize to the suffering we must endure. Being able to...

    The Rapture, is standing closer and closer, to the truth (true?)

    Hi there, So I worked out something about the end and it still came to an end. But then I discovered something about the Rapture, at the end, and I kept coming closer. When I found out something about the end, I realised that I would not immediately come to the end - as Jesus said "the end does...

    Made in the image of God; but made *for* the image of Christ. Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is just a simple distinction. On the one hand we are created by God. That is true. Indeed we are made in the image of God. Also true. But once created, there is a greater difference to look forward to: being made for the image of Christ. What does that mean? It means that our...

    The end is to see Jesus, and not waver from what seeing Him asks of you (selah)

    Hi there! So this is something that is going to be more and more popular over time: to see Jesus. As our differences are realised for what they are and how we are relating to God based on them, the need to commit to what we think Jesus means, will grow evert stronger too. It won't be a matter...

    Peace has entered the World; the World has yielded to the Lord's help!

    Hi there, So the World's mourning has finally borne some fruit: Peace has come upon the World, because the World is finally able to yield to the Lord's help. This is in most part because, the Lord has not condemned their "Evolution" but has forborne with them, that the strength of it be known...

    Is there even one thing, that would provoke humanoids to come from other species? Where's the selection pressure, that created Man, and nothing else?

    Hi there, So there is a glaring absence in the world of Evolution: a selection pressure of some description, had a consistent effect on some monkeys, at some stage and humanoid creatures developed from that pressure. However, it did not happen again, nor did it happen to other species, nor did...

    If they tell you that you will never get well, hand them over to the Devil permanently - that they learn not to persecute your mental health

    Hi there, So yes, to be plain, there is a way for a psychiatrist to keep you scrambling for self defence: use conceit. What is the conceit that they use? For starters, that they are the psychiatrist, not you; secondly, that there is no reason for them to change their diagnosis, if what you do...

    If you know that you are not going to commit a particular sin any more, you can move on to works that justify your innocence in that regard (selah)

    Hi there! So as Jesus said "Wisdom is justified by her children" and there is the child who is faithful and the child who is diligent. Now having been faithful, there is always the temptation to sin and sin gets in the way of diligence, but if you have acknowledged your conscience that what you...

    In Heaven we can't tell what our sin was, even if we wanted to (and that's the way we liked it)

    Hi there! So there are plenty of people in this world, who have sinned to the point, that they would rather be in Heaven, but they don't know why - that's what preachers with a word of knowledge from the Lord are for! They (these people) honestly would die for someone to make clear what the sin...

    Do you think "Near-Death Experiences" (NDEs) are valid or not? What should Christians make of them?

    Near-Death Experiences seem to be increasingly popular among Americans and other nations. Basically, someone has a close encounter with death -- or is clinically dead, but they are able to revitalize and revive themselves after an otherworldly experience, often with deceased relatives or...

    How many have ever changed their minds...

    Has anyone ever changed their minds on a doctrinal position as a result of praying and studying something out that they read here on CB? Please share. Debate is not the goal here, as inevitable as it may be. Testimony is. I'll start. I once realized while dicussing covenants on another forum...
