    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?

    A mature Christian, makes work a priority (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a simple point here, that I think people have tried to nail for some time, but which is expressly easier to interpret with the help of the Holy Spirit. We are not saved by works, but once maturity is reached, the decision to make "works" a 'priority' is foreknown...

    Is it possible that we ask God, for dreams that help save the lives of people we meet?

    Hi there, So I am a strong believer in the idea that God can give dreams to people. In faith, what I would like to ask, is that God give dreams that help save the lives of people we meet - and by faith I mean, that even the dreams of others could have the power to save. The idea is that you a)...

    If Philosophy gave an a priori roadmap, to scientific discovery: would Science heed it?

    Hi there, So it has dawned on me, that maybe there is something that Philosophy has to offer "Science". Science defines a method of falsifiability (according to Karl Popper), whereby hypothesis are entertained, tested and verified. The point I would make, is that if you know what manner of...

    Unknowns, are better for science, than repetitions of what is assumed to be known (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a philosophical problem, with Scientism. That problem, is the value Scientism gives that which it starts out with. Science starts with unknowns. Scientism, takes those unknowns and equivocates that all unknowns have the same fundamental value. That value is antecedent...

    Scripture says "in His Name, the Gentiles will trust" - what will 'Evolutionist Gentiles' trust in Jesus?

    Hi there, So "Evolution" has become a sort of black box to me - I don't really know what to say to something that is essentially an unpredictable double pendulum; it neither recognises male and female, nor does it predict survivability, for example. But I started to draw on scripture and think...

    As a rule, "partially right, most of the time" is moral.

    Hi there, So I wanted to present a model for morality that is different from utilitarianism and deontology. That model is simply: Gottservant said: Essentially, it builds on an experience of trying to be moral. It does not need specific instructions or specific consequences, but adapts...

    It's not wrong to be in the garden of Eden, if you don't know why you are there (selah)

    Hi there, So here is a truth, that I think helps keep a fresh mindset. We know about the Garden of Eden and how the Devil was in its midst; further to that, the temptation is to think that the Devil was somehow seeking to get control over man, by bringing him into subjection to sin. In other...

    The Difference

    The Difference. There are many different religions in the world but only Christianity Worships a God who can forgive our sins, make us clean, give us a new start and change us from the inside. The Christian’s God is the only God who became one of us and came to earth to dwell amongst us. He...
