    Death is wise, in the eyes of the Law (prudent?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple proverb to learn, when it comes to death and the Law: What does this mean? It means that when you do wrong, there is a standard - of the difference between life and death - that ought to be heeded. For when you weigh the Law, it ought to be done with compassion...

    What was the gift you received, when you first believed? (mine was 'steadfastness'?)

    Hi there, So just to help you in your walk with Christ, a simple question: what was the spiritual gift you received, when you first believed? If you need to, pray to the Holy Spirit, that He reveal it - that way, you will have it between you and Him! It is bearing fruit with this gift, that...

    All life is sanctific; and our sanctity is made strong in God's sanctity (holy?)

    Hi there, So I have coined the idea that "all life is sanctific" (sacrosanct, holy) meaning all life has value that is intrinsic to being alive. It is our sanctity that establishes our soul and our soul that feeds on our sanctity. Jesus was the most sanctified of any of us, and He imparted His...

    There is a split: the world thinks the world is the end, the Church thinks the end is within (how to settle?)

    Hi there, So we have a bit of a problem: the world thinks the world is the end (or at least part of it), the Church thinks the end is within (either in Heaven or on the way to it). What can we do about these two alternatives? Certainly the world being the end, appears rational, at least at...

    The Church is under attack, from greater and greater fools (this is a pattern of things to come?)

    Hi there! Well, I'm afraid I have some bad news: fools are here to stay. In the beginning there were very few fools, because God did greater and greater things, as Witness of His Creative Glory. But in the end, there will be a great number of fools, that look very much like gods but being...

    The Rapture will be challenged, by the Great Doubt (slowing down?)

    Hi there, So I contend two things, here: one that the Holy Spirit reminds us of Jesus' Cross; two, that the inactivity of the Church, will lead to the battle of Armageddon. The concept I want you to understand, is that the world, in whatever state it is in, needs to see evidence of faith. When...

    The Devil is against a vow of chastity, how much confusion then, when his young are not the stronger for it?

    Hi there, So you may be aware of the idea of a vow of chastity. It's a vow, that you will not endorse the flesh, in a relationship with another. It's like saying you won't "pevert" a relationship with someone else, but it is stronger. The vow is that you will not endorse the flesh at all, even...

    It's right to want your kids to be strong, theologically (suggestions?)

    Hi there, So, after a lengthy battle in the spirit, to overcome the nonsense of the world, I have come to the faith again and perceive a strength that we should be developing as a body: theological strength. Theological strength, is the idea that you not only have the testimony of Christ, you...

    I can't tell you something, because it is still going to be fulfilled and if you thought you could do it in your own strength, we would fail

    Hi there, So I was going to promote something, that I thought was scripturally true, but the Holy Spirit interceded and warned me that I should not make it known. He said that if I made it known, that people would think they could do it in their own strength, and we would altogether fail. Not...

    I got it! The Cross of Jesus is where He developed a "contempt for future sin" - His contempt kept in check, *saves* us from not resisting sin enough!

    Hi there, So there is a way to interpret what happened on the Cross, directly: Jesus asked "why Your Abandonment?" and was provoked to fill with contempt; when reflecting on what He had contempt for, He chose sin; choosing sin, the Lord projected contempt for sin in future. That is what...

    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...

    God doesn't just want child-like faith, God doesn't just want mature faith - God wants both! (understanding?)

    Hi there, So there are two verses where Jesus talks about the faith necessary to enter Heaven. The first is "unless you have faith as a little child, you shall by no means enter Heaven". Now you might be thinking 'how on Earth, can I be child-like in my faith?', and you would be right, in the...

    If there's something in your life, that you always *do*, what would it be like, if you did it less? (thought experiment)

    Hi there, So this is a stretching exercise, for your mind. There is something in our lives, that we always "do". I tend to do things as a "rule" if I can; other people might try to "perfect" something or be "innocent" in a certain way or be "pure" more and more. All these things are good, until...

    Here's a likeable thread: Name something you like about a denomination (of Church) other than your own! (really, anything)

    Hi there, So this was a popular thread, back when I was posting on another board: Name something you like about a denomination (of Church) other than your own! I would post something myself, but I don't want to prejudice others' ideas. Are they (the other Churches) pro-active? Organized...

    Freedom of selection: does it really boil down to 'tolerance'?

    Hi there, So I realised there is a glaring inequality, between government and people of faith: the standard for government is that difference matters, the standard for people of faith, is that difference doesn't matter! Let me explain what I mean. Say you have a transgender person, and you...

    After the Rapture, comes revival of the Rapture (think?)

    Hi there, So I feel like this is a simple point to make, but perhaps there is more to it: after the Rapture, comes revivals of the Rapture. This is something even a child (who has come to maturity) could understand. The purpose of the Rapture is not to come and go and never come again. Rather...

    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...

    When you are in Heaven, the Power of the Presence of God is so Great, all you can do is be in Awe (selah)

    Hi there! So there is a mystery as to what we become, in Heaven. The Bible says "we shall all be changed". Part of that change: is Awe. When we learn to identify with the Lord on the Cross, we come to be in Awe of Him at the Resurrection. This plays out in our lives, we extol the Lord, try to...

    When the World comes against us, its like we are going to come against them and give them the mark (of sin), but we don't: the Holy Spirit intercedes!

    Hi there, EDIT: I sort of wanted this to be about praise to the body of Christ for not sinning, but it ended up being more about the Holy Spirit - such is the Spirit! So you might not understand this, if you haven't been convicted of sin, over a long period of time: but there are psychological...

    This is a sign in Heaven: see if you can guess what it is? (Suggestions?)

    Hi there! There is a spiritual breakthrough happening in my life, right now: I wonder if you can guess what it is? Can you guess the sign? It's like the sign given Daniel, also like the sign of Jonah. It's powerful and it's free. What are your thoughts?
