    ...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 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...

    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...

    Praising God, for the unknown! How great is He?

    Hi there, So I have come to realise that my vulnerability is my greatest asset, in Christ. He finds leading me easiest and lightest, when there is nothing in me to resist Him. He even knows, that I am giving Him space - and is greatly comforted, that I want to stay that way to the end. And...

    You don't have to like someone, to be kind to them; and you don't have to keep being kind, to be liked (selah)

    Hi there, So the Lord inspired a brilliant quote, in me - and I'm dying to share! You know the Golden Rule, right? What about the Golden proverb? What do you think? Is there longevity in these words? Do they agree with your soul? The power of it, is that this proverb looks at the Golden Rule...

    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...

    Our sin is crucified (in Christ); our place in Heaven is enlarged (selah)

    Hi there, So there are two specific things, that are an encouragement to us, while we dwell on Earth. These two things, the Holy Spirit gives, as consolation to us, for having faith in the Christ and His Resurrection. The first is simple: we simply do not enjoy sin, any more. Our sin is, as it...

    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...

    Not requiring confession and just offering luck as an alternative, men of the world will just choose 'luck' and not confess. Meaning?

    Hi there, So this is a thorny problem for me. I have known for some time that Ray Comfort preaches that the sinner needs to be convicted of the Law, before they are offered Salvation. That approach seemed fine to me, for some time, but I never really felt great about approaching people about...

    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    Hi there, So the book of Revelation, was the first book of the Bible that I ever read (in its entirety) and I have stayed avidly mindful of what I have read there, ever since. But something has dawned on me, over the years (decades now), there really is no accounting, for the mystery of the...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Is there even one thing, that would provoke humanoids to come from other species? Where's the selection pressure, that created Man, and nothing else?

    Hi there, So there is a glaring absence in the world of Evolution: a selection pressure of some description, had a consistent effect on some monkeys, at some stage and humanoid creatures developed from that pressure. However, it did not happen again, nor did it happen to other species, nor did...

    Are we crazy? Concerning ourselves with the return of the Lord, when He has already been with the blind, lame, lepers, deaf, dead, poor? Discuss.

    Hi there, So remember how God said John was more than a prophet and how that his disciples should go and tell John "how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached". What if Jesus was speaking prophetically...

    Angels are more able to evolve than man, what does that prove? Should we aspire to be like angels? Ruminate with me!

    Hi there! So this is one of those "how many angels can you fit on the head of a pin?" questions. However, it is a comparison between Man and Angels. The whole issue is what will find life more, those that believe in Evolution and those that believe in Creation? (Bear in mind that I am a...

    Pray for those facing the guillotine (in Israel), assuredly you will have your reward.

    Hi there, So this is just being mindful of the End. The body of Christ in Israel, needs your prayer: the guillotine is coming (still decades away now, but it will come quick) and the peace that surpasses all understanding should be everyone's. We need to pray that peace will come, at the...

    Say the anti-Christ was against "Evolution", would you tolerate him 'more'?

    Hi there! So the anti-Christ being Jewish, there is a strong possibility that he will not be in favour of "Evolution". As a Jew, he has the heritage of the Holocaust to bear in mind and there is a bitter wound there, one that is not going to be quickly forgotten. Is this a marvel? As Jesus said...

    Prayer concerning the death of the flesh (the flesh is divided, between the rapture and the tribulation)

    Hi there! So I have lately come to be very vexed by the falling away of dead flesh (in the world). The world has moved away from God and its flesh has started to die, and we need someone like the Holy Spirit to stand in the breach, in some way. I am not sure what such a person would have to do...
