    What is : The Hearing of Faith?

    Reader, No unbeliever has """eyes to hear or ears to hear"" until this is changed by the Holy Spirit.. .but all have faith., as "every person is given the measure of faith". This is why 3 Billion believe that Muhammed is their Prophet.. they ALL have placed THEIR FAITH in Him. This is why...

    I was faced with returning to the world, or going and serving Jesus and I returned to the world (lost?)

    Hi there, So this is the problem: I was faced with returning to the world, or going and serving Jesus and I returned to the world. Now, I am aware of a couple of scriptures here: one, Jesus said to the man who had legion "go back to your home town and tell them what God has done for you and how...

    It's OK to be stupid, as long as being stupid doesn't put you in the way of the Devil (unaided).

    Hi there, So yes, I have come to the conclusion that I have been tempted to be so smart it is "sin". I have approached being smart from all kinds of angles, been too verbose and have complicated what I mean. All this I have done, in order to be assiduous in my own estimation. The problem is I...

    "Gratitude" makes an impact on God, even when you are not on speaking terms about anything else (encouraging?)

    Hi there, So there is something in common, between God and Man: both of them respond favourably to gratitude. I'm not exactly sure what the effect is called, but it has been established that flattery works, even when you know you are being flattered. In this sense, God is great at taking a...

    Why Hell ??

    Reader.. "Hell was created for the devil and his angels"... before Adam was created. People often accuse God of "sending people to Hell", but that is not the correct understanding.. The correct understanding is that God offers to accept your Faith in Christ as the "WAY" to be reconciled to...

    "The world, the flesh and the Devil" should be "the world, the Devil and the flesh"? (priorities?)

    Hi there, So this is a slightly misleading Christianese saying "there are three things you need to be on watch for: the world, the flesh and the Devil". I say misleading, because it suggests that the Devil is the least formidable challenge and a close relationship between the flesh and the...

    The Devil isn't interested in you overcoming mental health struggles "once and for all" - its a daily struggle you have to take one day at a time

    Hi there, So I have schizophrenia (which means my neurological wiring is limited) and I struggle because the Devil does not respect that I need space. I have fought the Devil many a time and have always believed that if I just inch further to recovery, I will be better off. I have never doubted...

    More about : Calvinism

    Predestination According to Demonic John Calvin According to John Calvin, predestination is God’s unchangeable decree from before the creation of the world that God would freely save some people (the elect), foreordaining them to eternal life, while the others would be “barred from access to”...

    Sunday School Lesson : #11

    Reader. Maybe you teach SS...... Maybe you should. >?? Maybe you shouldn't...yet. But if you do, then you always need to keep the Student grounded in the Grace of God, which is the understanding = regarding WHY Jesus died on the Cross and what this "finished".... as Jesus said from the Cross...

    I took my medication, and had a perfectly natural desire to vomit them up (pity?)

    Hi there, So I am writing this just to process what I am going through mentally, right now, as well as be a beacon to those that struggle with a similar issue (a medication issue). I have been taking my meds consistently for months, even years, gradually getting better and better with or...

    Premarital sex, resulted in a life handed over to the cruel one (Proverbs 5:9) - now I can't escape? (help?)

    Hi there, So to be frank, I had pre-marital sex and developed a sexual dysfunction (constant desire). My relationship with the person in question, is nowhere. I now don't trust myself and feel very weak about things I should be strong about (the importance of a healthy relationship, God having...

    What is the sin, when you are trying to force God's Hand? (conceit?)

    Hi there, So look, the thing is I have a very peculiar relationship to God. I'm of the opinion that God is reserving judgment, until He sees what I am doing and then He is leaving me out of the difference (that I make?). Because I feel nervous, I try to get God to play His Hand, because I feel...

    The Devil is trying to choke my faith; the Devil says "you're not allowed to believe, unless you have from the start" (its making me mad!)

    Hi there, So I have been through the whole back sliding thing and come to the conclusion that I both need a second wind and greater grace from God - and this is where the Devil hits me: the Devil says "no, you have become backsliding, there is no more hope for you" and "no God does not want to...

    Hydration is key, to spiritual balance (thirsty?)

    Hi there! So remember what Jesus said, when He was on the Cross? "I thirst". Quenching thirst, in our coming to the Cross, is crucial to our walk with Christ. If we do not quench our spiritual thirst, we are unbalanced, unfocussed, unsettled. These things come to us, if our focus on the Cross...

    The Devil causes us (the brethren) to fight! Can we catch him, in the act? (powerfully?)

    Hi there, So this is not about casting the Devil out of our fellow brothers. This is about just acknowledging that we are tempted, to vilify and provoke and distrust our brothers. It hurts us, our conscience, but we still do it - and its time we called the Devil out on it! I say with boldness...

    MYSTERY is in love with wrath, the declaration of wrath (poisoned?)

    Hi there, So this is something that has mystified the men of the world, for generations. What is it, that MYSTERY loves? Many have tried to find out, and have died; have become slaves to MYSTERY and have died. The true answer is given in Revelation, as a mystery, saying "I sit as queen and am...

    The Devil gets around the Law, by provoking God to do more than necessary (provoked?)

    Hi there, So this was something of a mystery until now: the Devil gets around the Law, by provoking God to do more than necessary. It is not that the Devil has no purpose and is ready to lose - he is personally aware that God desires only to humble Himself, that everything that God creates, is...

    What would be the importance of fasting?

    There were times in the Old Testament when some of the prophets, and perhaps the people of the time would fast. Fast normally meant abstaining from food, and going without drink for a certain amount of time, and for a stated purpose. Here a comment from Moses himself, about the time when he...

    The anti-Christ can resurrect sin and pretend to have created the world - what is faith's answer?

    Hi there, So I worked out what it was that makes the anti-Christ the opposite of Christ. He does not merely want to oppose Christ and His resurrection; far from opposing Christ, as one would imagine was death, the anti-Christ resurrects sin. If the anti-Christ resurrects sin, then the danger of...

    Denying the Cross: How to do it

    - Bible Rejectors, Heretics, and the deceived blaspheme the power of the Cleansing BLOOD of Jesus , by teaching that only past sins are forgiven by the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. Paul teaches, that the Cross Of Christ is = "THE "ETERNAL Sacrifice for sin"" that is the finished work...
