    When the Witnesses Take the Stand

    There comes a point where unbelief is no longer a lack of information. It is refusal. In John 5:24-47, Jesus does not merely make a claim, He calls witnesses to the stand, and every one of them points straight back to Him. Jesus begins with one of the clearest promises in Scripture. He says...

    At the Great White Throne Judgment, there will be prizes "for the best interpretation of scripture" (seeking the Holy Spirit?)

    Hi there, I suppose you can imagine many prizes, at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation). The Lord sort of opened up my mind, to what they would be. There would be a prize "for the best interpretation of scripture", "most lives lead to the Lord", "most people preached to", "most...

    Revelation 13:12 says "everyone on earth, will be forced to worship the beast", does that mean everyone on earth needs to repent? (refuse to repent?)

    Hi there, So I took a very little interpretation of Revelation 13:12 and I came to the conclusion, that since I am on Earth and at war with the sin in my members (as Paul says in the letters), I am at the very least going to be tempted to worship the beast. Now, I thought about it and thought...

    This is the difference: believers ask for their soul to be resurrected, non-believers ask for their sin to be resurrected (deciding?)

    Hi there, So listen, I was struggling with a sin/a temptation for a long time, then I finally kneeled and turned to the Lord and in the process I realised that I had had a fundamental change of approach. I used to think what mattered was my flesh and that my soul would be ok as long as my flesh...

    The Rapture is a conviction that the Holy Spirit, has overcome sin, evil and oppression - that imparts the Word of God within to do something similar

    Hi there, So I am just teasing out what the Rapture means. The idea in theology is that the Rapture is an event, that separates those that have it from those that don't. There is some truth to this. But what is actually happening? My understanding is that the Rapture is the birthing of a...

    Vision About My Nation (NZ)

    My Nation and My Lord I was just finishing praying to the Lord this morning when I saw a vision. In this vision, the Lord stood up from his throne, and he said, “You who grind the faces of the poor in the dust and muddy the waters with your feet, you who feed yourselves and your friends and...

    The fool in love with the end, spares no one even a word (going to leave a blow?)

    Hi there, So Jesus said "the end will not come immediately" and for the most part, you would think you were able to ignore the fool who does not understand this. Unfortunately, the fool is able to fall in love with the end, for the wrong reasons. If the fool thinks he sees his foolishness in...

    To be or not to be Catholic

    I had a great discussion with my Very Catholic sister yesterday on the following passages. From the NIV: 5:24-27 - 24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell...

    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...

    The " FLIP" side of "Does God care"

    @Selah I agree, God is love but he is not one sided!

    ...which (eventually) means that your previous desire to sin, will clash with your Christian desire to die on your Cross...

    Hi there, So this is something really easy and strengthening to focus, in your walk with Christ: the time will come when your previous desire to sin (hate, lie, distrust for example), clashes with your (Christian) desire to die on your Cross. As Jesus said "Father not my will but Yours be...

    I have worked out what Jesus meant, when He said "they shall go in and out, and find pasture" (John 10:9)

    Hi there, So I can make this fairly simple: there is a reality to what Jesus said, when He said "he who believes in Me, shall go in and come out and find pasture" (John 10:9). It is different for almost everyone. For me, I find "reason" to go in, a "rule" to go out and an idea of "pasture". The...

    Madness isn't sin, if you can't live without it (selah)

    Hi there, So this is just a little proverb that has helped me a lot over the years. It is not meant to replace proper psychiatric advice, just contextualize what it is we struggle with, when we struggle with madness. Indeed madness is often confused with psychosis, we don't necessarily see...

    You are going to feel awful about your sin, for the rest of your life - why not let the Holy Spirit make you feel good about the afterlife?

    Hi there, So I have sort of turned inside out, pursuing faith. I was vexed for a long time, about my sin and how to overcome it. At times I would feel fine, then at others I would be vexed; then I would feel like "I have to do something about this 'feeling'!". Eventually, thinking about the Law...

    The Holy Spirit can cover you, extend your righteousness, limit judgment of you.

    Hi there! So I have been growing in faith, as I continue to commit to the good life, for God's sake and I have learnt to interpret the work of the Holy Spirit as strength, understanding and meaning (all of which I want to share). The lessons I have learned are very important, because they add...

    Bible "study" Rules!

    Grace And Peace, Precious friend(s). For your Encouragement and help: Bible “study” Rules : (1) “Let All things be done Decently and In Order!” (1 Corinthians 14:40 AV) (2) Study All Scripture Rightly Divided! : “Study to shew thyself Approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be...

    Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come:

    “I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.” Ecclesiastes 3:17 THE judgment of the great day is an event certain to take place. “He hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness...

    The Fire That Consumes - Does Hell Burn Forever?

    The first important fact about hell is this: The unsaved do not go to any place of punishment as soon as they die, but are reserved in the grave until the day of judgment to be punished. Christ explicitly taught this truth in the well-known parable of the wheat and the tares. After the...

    Our purpose as Christians?

    Someone on these forums recently said the following in our on line discussion. "You are not created to DIE. Your purpose is to LIVE while SINNERS DIE. -- So live as GOD intended, and stop being more "kind" to others than you are to yourself." Personally I find the statement offensive and far...

    Lot and Sodom

    When two angels visited Sodom in preparation for its destruction they met Lot. The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed himself with his face to the earth and said, “My lords, please turn aside to...
