    Hope for backsliders! Your faith can get a second wind! (charging?)

    Hi there, So I have languished for a long, long time that I departed from the faith, as a teen - having had a reborn experience when I was even younger. I would always scour the skies so to speak, looking for the inspiration that would bring my faith back to life. Again and again I would come...

    Sometimes when we are tempted with sin (especially for addiction) its not sin that is the problem, but the madness that goes with it (selah)

    Hi there, Introduction to Madness Imagine if you will, that you have dealt with sin and no longer have need of being tempted; you understand that with perfection comes the temptation to be irrational and you have a ready word, with which to defend yourself (from the Devil's attacks). Then the...

    Theology ........FYI

    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...

    I am stronger, the more I search for the Lord (you also?)

    Hi there, So, I have had it dawn upon me, that I am stronger, when I search for the Lord. It's just a simple fact. I'm not sure how it works, or why - but I know it works. There is something about Him, that is pure, even in the Holy Spirit. I think it must be that the Holy Spirit is now in Him...

    The World tells you the "World" is the same, since you believed - but they're wrong! (confront?)

    Hi there, So yes, the heart of the snare, people fall into when it comes to the anti-Christ, is that the anti-Christ aggrandizes the demand of the World - not that the World be a greater "World", but that the World be more greatly "the same". In other words, the World wants to refuse the...

    God is "God", by faith (considering?)

    Hi there, So I think one of the things that confuses a lot of people, in this life, is the idea that they are ruled by a "God" that asserts Himself, to the exclusion of everyone else. This could not be further from the truth. The reality is, that God applies a standard, to everyone, including...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    I really have no input but was musing over how divided our Christian world is. One states this is "what it says "while another states but this is "what it means". I believe when we study we must do so with the Spirit, rightly dividing the word in context. I do believe we all have some aspects...

    Strength outside the Law, merely needs a moment - what you do with that moment is up to you (considering?)

    Hi there, So theologically we may identify the Wilderness, as being "outside the Law". Wilderness merely denotes that you are no longer engaging with the Law, to fulfil it, despite the curse (the curse that it can't make whole, only point to wholeness). What we do in the Wilderness, is merely...

    ...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...

    ...which means that others (of the faith) copy you, in the end...

    Hi there, So for those of you who diligently parse the Word of God and respond with what is wise, have hope! The Lord will not allow people of other doctrines to rule over you! If you have been down-pressed debating things online and you know you have been in the will of the Holy Spirit, but it...

    The anti-Christ makes Israel strong, but strong in the Law (which is a curse)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to flesh this out for a moment, so that I get a proper grip on the subject, myself. The anti-Christ does not merely weaken the faith - that is a misconception. The anti-Christ makes what he believes in "strong" (now there is a difference between "strong" 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...

    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...

    Truth needs truth, that's the truth. (thoughts?)

    Hi there, So there is an absolute gem of a truth, in the Bible. Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, but by Me" (from memory, John). The reason that this truth is a gem, is that it hits on the notion of relationship, in a way that no other words do. You...

    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...

    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...

    There is no constant witness to Jesus, but one immersive mystery in the gospel (Discuss)

    Hi there, So there is a pitfall, when it comes to the faith, that if you believe it (the faith), then there will be some concrete way to witness to it. Jesus on the cross, is a constant, so the theory goes, there must be some constant way to witness to Him. That is not so. Why is it not so...

    The anti-Christ will be beguiled, by the Devil's guilt: that he (the Devil) has no further accusation, for those who take the mark - it can't be true!

    Hi there, So just to be clear, there is almost no time left. The world awaits the coming of the anti-Christ. The Devil is ready to feign worship of the anti-Christ. But there is a problem: no matter how much the Devil worships the anti-Christ, there is no way for him (the Devil) to stop...
