Does God "know" everything? A.) Yes This is the "fore-Knowledge" of God... or... God knowing be-fore it happened, what will happen, next. Does God cause everything to happen, that happens? A.) NO And THAT Reader, is where John Calvin failed to understand that God's knowing everything, is...

The study of the nature of God and religious belief. "A theology degree", is based on religious beliefs, traditions & theory Theology is the systematic study of the nature of the divine and, more broadly, of religious belief. It is taught as an academic discipline, typically in universities...

Do you believe in the Immortal Soul Doctrine?

Would you say of yourself that you are judgmental ? Can this be corrected in us ? Yes, however, it MUST always be by the Word, and by our yielding OUR will to GOD'S will thru the Spirit ! Do NOT be bent by another man's will, especially those that walk contrary to God and his word...

Dear readers and participants: Disclaimer: This thread will NOT be to cause division, strife, anger nor words of wrath directed at another's, thoughts,faith,beliefs, doctrines or denominations. I am simply full of questioning everything. Critical thinking can be both good and bad. Don't be a...

Sounds like an overtly ignorant question right? We can read in the Old Teatament about the God of the Hebrews, from Noah upwards for about 4000 years. The descendants of Adam through Abraham of whom God made promise to build nations and in his seed should all the nations be blessed bc he had...

Barny, or Qo, the Preacher (lol) here. @Aunty Jane and I thought we'd try to revisit a project similar to one she was involved in recently. We gave it a proper title, but I think we're just going to try to keep it as informal and nonrestrictive as possible. We've agreed to do our best to avoid...

NEW AND IMPROVED?? When I first started this thread, the comments quickly turned to contentious debate, as could be expected. I got symptoms of COVID-19 Sunday evening and, along with my daughter (who works in a hospital ICU), I got tested first thing Monday morning, and today (Jan 18), we...

There are many various doctrines and beliefs that incorporate what we call Christianity today. There were already many different beliefs being formed after Pentecost concerning the 'way' and the word of God. Nothing changes. Nothing is new today. The real difference is that today, these...

When I discover Christians who endorse the philosophy known as Taoism I am reminded of what Paul wrote to the Colossians. Col 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not...

I've been known to be a little scatter-brained. I tend to think that everything relates to everything. Please forgive me if I get off track. I'm getting to the point in my participation here that I'm beginning to think of myself as invested in this virtual community. So I care about the people...

An Offering From My Notes: Satan is active on this planet. His work in its inhabitants is woven into history, en masse and in each individual. Sin is still the way of the world. Satan is still the prince of the power of the air. Satan is still at work in the children of disobedience. Eph...

Precious friends, According To The Holy Scriptures!: The Three-In-One GodHead! { aka "The Case For The Trinity!" }: (A) The Holy Spirit Is The God That "Ananias And Sapphira lied to!" (Acts 5:3-4 KJB!). (B) The Holy Spirit IS The God That Raised Jesus Christ From The Dead!, (Romans 8:9-11...

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...

Update: I'm afraid I haven't made myself very clear. My intentions were to provoke critical/analytical thought harnessed by Scripture--not to solicit personal suggestions per se (not that I couldn't use some, of course). With all of the bright hearts and minds I've encountered so far, in the end...

- Deut 13:4 """"Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and be in reverent awe of Him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto Him."" This verse is a good one if you are looking for "God's will" for your life. 3 easy steps. 1. Obey 2. Serve 3...

I keep coming across this doctrine where people seem to think just because they go to a church building that their ok with God. They seem to be so big on fellowship and nothing else. Anyone can have fellowship, even criminal gangs have fellowship are they saved? Now I agree Christians should...
