True science will prove the bible is right, not wrong. Theories, are where the problems come in.
What kind of things happen, good or bad ?
Yes, I def. believe in a force larger than I , and Yes, I believe that way too many of us, def. do take him, for granted, and this force is known by many names... however, I think he is most commonly referred to as God.
Wonderful answer etyhvh... and I totally agree !!! All I would like to add to what you have already written is to get to know God, thru the scriptures also, that way, you will know his nature, and his word, and it will protec t you from being deceived...
The bible is not an ordinary book, it is spirit inspired, and it takes the same spirit to interpet it, that inspired it to begin with. It is not possible for the natrual mind to understan things that are spiritual.
I used to have a reoccuring dream, or I should say a nightmare, because it was dreadful... however, when I got saved, this dream returned shortly thereafter, only this time, I woke up long enough to say, Lord, please take this awful thing away. ...
Utopia... The bible is full of a lot of stuff...however, Gods original design, was one man and one woman... or did you forget the beginning ?
God judges the attitudes of the heart... The mouth can say one thing... and the heart say another, and God is the only one who knows exactly how to read it. We will be judged according to what we do, what we say, and what we think. You ...
It matters greatly, whether or not you sin, in fact, the requirement that Jesus speaks of in his word says... If... you love me,... You will... Obey...my commandments.
To the ones who think you can come to Jesus, and "sin... all you want to, are not understanding the bible or salvation, at all.
I didn't get to read all the replies, since my time is limited, however, I would like to add that the bible says to "Owe no man anything, except to love." Jesus does not expect you to "pay him back, in fact, there is no possible way to do this. He ...
Jesus said, My peace I leave...not as the world gives, give I unto you. I have experienced this peace, and it took me a long time, to truly recognize it, for what it is, because my previous life was very tumultuous, however, once Jesus finally got...
The bible tells us to work out our own salvation... with fear and trembling.
Without God in the equasion, life has very little meaning.
God says that the "proof" ... is all around you. His word says that Man is without excuse... Because all he has to do is look in the mirror to realize he was created by someone... VERY INTELLIGENT ^J^
Perhaps God choose to leave out this detail... as a stumbling block??? He has put others in the word, for the same purpose. This is the same reason he chose to use parables... Both reveal the condition of ones heart. If all you are look...
Hi honey... (((hugs))) I admire your courage and gusto, even your challanges, however, serving God, is not about a challange, it is about a heart attitude, and this can only come about between you and the Savior. What you are talking about is about ...
The church is the people, the temple not built with hands... Jesus said, where two or more are gathered in my name, I am in the midst. The traditional idea of a brick building with a steeple, has in effect taken away from Jesus message, as the empat...
I think his skin would have been very olive colored, but, the color of a mans skin was never a concern to him, he looked at the condition of the heart.
We go thru many situations, as Christians, but, the standards of Gods word, never changes. His commands remain constant. Forgiveness... is something that we are commanded to do, over and over and over, just as Jesus did and does. Take your pain...
God can speak to people in dreams and visions, Satan can too, You have to determine where the dreams/visions are coming from, as there are many voices in the world today, and not all of them are good. If you have the gift of intercession, God can g...
We are a spirit, we have a soul, and we live in a body. Jesus dealt with spirits all the time, he called them demons. Those demons did not go away when he left, they are still around, until Jesus comes back again.
I saw him as a very kind young man, with a lot of love in his heart.
Only if God and the Bible are not important to you.
I think you are confusing the Old Test. with the New. Jesus is in the New... Methuselem is the oldest man in the Old, and another man, is the one who asked for his life to be extended, and it was, but, he did not ask Jesus.
It depnds on what the word means to you, and who you are saying it to, and why.
Slavaim... I again, beg to differ... it is commanded by God, to speak for the faith, and to stand against all opposition.
It is harder to find God, without faith being a part of family life, but, it is not impossible. To find the real God, you need to start with the Bible, and I recommend the King James Version, then, compare any other verstion to it. Then, seek G...
This is the most precious gift that you have to give... if you choose to not protect it for that one person you decide to spend your life with, it is your choice, but, remember, you can only be a virgin...once.
If it were you would know it.
It calls them, Demons...
By your bold stance against the things of God, you are in effect trying to silence the Christian witness... I am sure you notice that anyone for or in agreement with the question, is afraid to speak out... in fear of your verbal attacks upon them ....
I am not trying to convert you, Jesus will not drag anyone into the Kingdom kicking and screaming... just won't happen. You are free to believe or say anything you wish... so, why not give me the same liberty ???
The bible warns of demons masquarading as angels of light... it also warns of any contact with the dead, Satan wants contol over our lives, and he will go to any length to get it. If you have doubts, you certainly have reason to. If you...
I am not inflicting my belief on anyone... I am stating what that faith is, for the benefit of those who want to know, or for the simple fact that you titled this forum spirituality/ religion... Why is it that Christianity is the only one that y...
Yes, and if you choose to fight every truth that is shared, that too is your business...and since there are so many of you, you are doing a bang up job...however, God says that his word will not go void... so, no matter what you say, about God or the ...
America was founded on the freedom that God gives in his word...no matter how many people nowdays, who are trying to change it. Because of Gods grace, you are given the choice to hate him, if you so choose, and fight everything that he stands for. ...
You are welcome to your opinion, just as everyone else is. We live in a world of free choice, God designed it this way. If you choose to set up a board to mock, the Christian faith, that is your business, but, as long as you allow people to speak on yo...
Rev. 21:8 Living Bible , says, But cowards who turn back from following me, and those who are unfaithful to me, and the corrupt, and the murderers, and the immoral, (and God considers anything apart from a committed relationship, between a man and...
I beg to differ, but you gave a very good worldly answer. It is not possible for an unredeemed person to think otherwise, no offense intended.
I think the negativity stems from the radical part of the religion, and the extremists... Jesus teaches us to love our neighbor, as ourselves... and to me, that includes Islam... and the radicals... And the ones who mock and denigrade th...
Jesus, as always is concerned with the attitude of the heart, and whether or not it reflects his values.
It is most amazing, how God takes all your flak, and loves you still...
It depends on what you call respect... What I have been seeing lately in the world, is the statement that one is not being respected because someone else, mainly Christian, shared their faith with them... and it was called disrespecting them... ...
1 in 2 marriages are breaking up ... in the church and out... how much importance do you think you should place on it ? What priority should it take? How much research should be spent concerning one of the most important decisions you wil...
Its my daughters birthday, wanna celebrate ??
Trust in Jehovah.
Jewish people are the ones who Jesus came to , to share his truth, he called them, his people, and it was the people God had made himself manifest to in the past, yet, they refused to accept him as the Son of God, they were the ones who chose him to di...
It is a branch of the Christian Church.
Jehovah is God Almighty, and a witness is one who shares what he has come to know or witness about him.
