    Could Jesus, be left behind? (faith?)

    Hi there, So, listen, I will be upfront with you, my faith has wavered a lot and I still have a taste for the controversial, and sometimes I dream something up, that I think I know that it will get a reaction. Here's something like that: I really don't know what to say up front, I would prefer...

    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...

    Unless God means everything, to you: you are not acting on the most faith you can (why?)

    Hi there, So I wanted to post this thread, mostly for myself (at least to begin with). I frequently have doubts, that I am living the Christian faith and I have concerns about arbitrary acts of faith, that don't have a standard of some kind. One of those standards that I think applies, is how...

    You guys have to start praying for two things: the rapture of the faith (that it be great) and deliverance from the tribulation (that it not spread)

    Hi there, So I am concerned for lost souls here; there are two types of soul: believing and earthly. For each of these there is a destiny, the believing soul heads to Heaven and the earthly soul tries to stand on Earth. Neither of these things is right or wrong, but as the Lord wills, so is...

    Romans 6:22 : Part II

    - Being set free from sin, Romans 6:22, is the literal effect of the Blood of Jesus. This is the "Victory" that Paul describes, that is the place of perfection, regarding a perfected discipleship. To be born again is to have redemption from sin. = > To no longer be under sin's power or...

    The Bride will be barren, the Bridegroom will be impotent. Travail! Travail!

    Hello, So in case you were wondering, where the children of the Bride and the Bridegroom are: the children are you! But the flesh profits nothing! The Bride will be barren; the Bridegroom will be impotent. All the children of their union will be scattered in the Heavens. If they had children on...

    Enough of the Work that the Holy Spirit has started, will be greatly compelling (selah)

    Hi there, So I have been wrestling with faith, and how to have it, Evolution and how to resist it, and the Lord encouraged me to a point, where I think I understand. What I understand, is that if you believe in Evolution, more is required of you - why is more required, because greater faith has...

    Behold! The Lord is doing a new thing: He shall tell his disciples how and why He remembers and trusts them (hosanna!)

    Hi there, So I thought I would encourage you, by writing down the news of the Lord, as soon as it was revealed to me. The Lord is doing a new thing! The Lord shall tell His disciples how and why He remembers and trusts them. This is a way of developing quietness and confidence (Isaiah 30:15) in...

    The World is struggling to be consistently selfish - the flesh is making it hard, for them to believe even in themselves (pray)

    Hi there, So the Bible says that in future, people will be lovers of themselves. The thing is that, at the moment, people in the World are struggling to be selfish, let alone lovers (of themselves). It's a great opportunity for Witness, that we pray that they learn to be complete, part of which...

    Each successive Heaven, is more by faith than the last (selah)

    Hi there, So yes, just thinking about Heaven and falling back on Paul's suggestion that it is possible for someone to be caught up to the third Heaven, it behooves us to think on how the Heavens work. Something that is fairly self-evident, is that each successive Heaven, is more by faith than...

    Bible Scripture Studies

    Hello to you, Disclaimer - I can always be wrong on anything you may read. Yesterday, decided to look up some of the scriptures that deal with the Spirit of Christ, which has been talked about all the way back start in the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament, and even in Ephesians which was a...

    How to respond to the idea, that Christ is being slowed down, by a believer? Like how would you respond to the guilt, that your work is unfinished?

    Hi there, So something you may not know about me, but I have a habit of mulling questions of the faith, over in my mind. I basically do a stress test "do I believe enough?" "how would I express that faith differently?" I want a tight, easy to grasp relationship with God, with Jesus. But I was...

    This______is your life.

    Hi folks. I'd like to get to know the YOU better. Myself. I grew up very poor in a mixed neighborhood of other very poor folks. It was like the " Great Depression continued on in my family past the 30's. There were many times we didn't have running water or electricity but we're blessed with a...

    Episode 490: The Holy Spirit

  15. MatthewG

    For there is no difference for all have sinned.

    Sin is a hot topic for a lot of people today because of our flesh naturally enjoys to be appeased. However, with-in us is our soul (Heart/mind/will/emotion), is also what affects the choices in which in which an individual chooses to do whatever they will with their flesh. However what does it...

    The First Church Bride of Christ - A Family of believers.

    Through out the Bible there is talk about the First church bride of Christ. That was the first united people of faith who were sold out Christians and gave up their lives to live for God and to love their fellow neighbor which included also sharing the good news of Jesus with others. In that day...

    Prosperity ... Does the Bible Teach it?

    Let’s get this issue settled. Let's first define what prosperity is. We can think of it as flourishing, thriving, succeeding with good fortune, success in social circles, basically achieving what you set your heart out to achieve. Our lot in life isn't for all of us to prosper financially, to...

    Don't just crucify your sin, crucify your faith!

    Hi there, So yes I have been dwelling on how to increase my faith, what to believe, how to believe it: what I have come up with, is that taking up the cross, is about more than just sin and the confession of it. What I have come up with, is that faith itself, needs to face the cross. Jesus went...

    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)...
