    If God were not God, God would be arrogant. Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is as much about Witnessing, as anything else. It's about the nature of our relationship with God, but also who God is. By providing something that you can test, it will give you an answer to the doubts you have. Not everyone doubts, but some certainly do. I, for myself, have...

    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...

    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...

    You have to start reading scripture, as giving emotional integrity - in teachings & memories: that is what the Holy Spirit brought (learning?)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to point out a paradigm shift, from thinking about scripture, to retaining it - in your learning and memory. The Bible promises that the Holy Spirit will come to teach us all things and bring all things that Jesus said to remembrance. If the Holy Spirit comes to teach...

    Made in the image of God; but made *for* the image of Christ. Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is just a simple distinction. On the one hand we are created by God. That is true. Indeed we are made in the image of God. Also true. But once created, there is a greater difference to look forward to: being made for the image of Christ. What does that mean? It means that our...

    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...

    The end is to see Jesus, and not waver from what seeing Him asks of you (selah)

    Hi there! So this is something that is going to be more and more popular over time: to see Jesus. As our differences are realised for what they are and how we are relating to God based on them, the need to commit to what we think Jesus means, will grow evert stronger too. It won't be a matter...

    Peace has entered the World; the World has yielded to the Lord's help!

    Hi there, So the World's mourning has finally borne some fruit: Peace has come upon the World, because the World is finally able to yield to the Lord's help. This is in most part because, the Lord has not condemned their "Evolution" but has forborne with them, that the strength of it be known...

    I love you guys! Even if a terrorist hacks my computer and sends me into unpayable debt, so that I can't come any more, I will love you!

    Hi there, So God has been dealing with me about loving the flock and how I keep coming here to be appreciated for my knowledge of scripture and how love is more than just recognition. So I am posting as the Holy Spirit has prompted, that I show that I love you guys and that my God has your best...

    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...

    Fulfilling can be either of the Law or of the Spirit. Discuss.

    Hi there, So I have been wrestling with Evolution some time now, and it has finally spilled out into theology. The reason theology has become involved, is that I have begun to distinguish between the Law and the Spirit. Evolution takes advantage of the Law, making out obedience to be slavery...

    I am itching, Lord have mercy

    Hi there, Ok so this is something that I am struggling with, but I am almost completely certain that it will be of relevance to others, if not of faith then of the world: I am itching. I am itching to get recognition, I am itching to get prophetic vision, I am itching to have power to heal, I...

    TRUTH.......the WORD !

    Since joining here I have been told by some members that, I DO NOT KNOW THE TRUTH, and that I DO NOT LOVE THE TRUTH! May God's Holy Spirit rebuke those whom have spoken such heresy. My heart dwells on God continually, I live and feast @ his Hoy Writ. John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the WORD...

    The shield of faith, is needed for the spear of a tongue, that proceeds from the mouth of the man of sin (selah)

    Hi there, So just to make clear, the difference between the man of sin and the Lord: a sword proceeds from the mouth of the Lord, but a spear proceeds from the mouth of the man of sin. What does this spear do? The spear has three effects: doubt, that we doubt our salvation; unrest, that we not...

    You regret that you sinned, now get angry; you identify that learning from your sin was bad teaching, now get bitter (selah)

    Hi there, So something that has helped me tremendously in my walk with Christ, has been identifying where I need to do an about face. An about face is where you acknowledge that you have been heading in the wrong direction (down the wide road to destruction), and you hold still and turn around...

    Jesus was newer, at the resurrection, but newer again was promised (selah)

    Hi there, So there is just a question of parity, that I have come across, in my study of the Word. That when we believe, we do not immediately grasp the power, of the Word of God, that is coming to Jesus. Jesus is receiving power on Earth, and all the more power in Heaven, in as much as Hell...

    Why must we love God first?

    Why does Jesus say, that people should love God first? Even though in the book of John it is noted that Jesus says that we should believe the Father is in Him. John 14:11 The Way, the Truth, and the Life …10Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to...

    The Two Trumpets of Today

    And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee...
