God isn't playing Solitaire Be very afraid of any "doctrine" that serves to nullify the Blood of the Lamb.

Not gonna double post. Y'all should go read the water baptism thread over in bible study. To make a long story short: His act of sacrifice. Not your act of baptism.

Of course faith alone won't save us... First I get twitchy when people say Jesus "abolished" the Law. He did not abolish it. He fulfilled it. The difference really is important, but it's also beyond the main theme of this thread so I'll leave it alone for now. As or this whole faith alone...

Upgrade your God. There is only one theory I've ever seen that would allow for the possibility that some people are just doomed and nothing is going to change it: Here in the modern world, we have video games. In the massive online games, you have "players" which are characters played by...

Year 5 *sigh* I'm still at it. I keep praying for reinforcements. I *know* that no one else is trying to witness to this man (including his wife...staggers the mind since she *says* she's a believer), but I must admit I've run a little bit out of what ... else ... to tell him.

/facepalm Maybe he wants you to convince him that things are going to be OK. Seriously though...Why would a brother in Christ wish you to feel fear? Fear is a form of doubt: Think about learning to ride a bike or drive...you were afraid you'd screw up...you *doubted* you could do it...

Too much work Legalism:Keeping he Law is all about you. What you do to obey, what you don't do to avoid sin. For most people it usually boils down to NOT doing this list of sinful things...and to these people's credit, they're motivated to keep the rules because they love God (to the best of...

Fretting is unpleasant Hey little one....be still. Jesus loves you. The Lord did not take your pastor from this world to leave you adrift or alone. Get to know the pastor God has placed in the church you attend. Stop staring into the mirror and wondering if you are who or what you are...

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart.... ...and lean not on your own understanding. I'm going to post a very controversial sentence: Everyone who died in September 11th needed to die at that specific time. --- The bad: The wicked men who threw away their own lives to murder others --...

If you live in Massachusetts, get involved in your state legislation now or get out while you still can. All it takes is the declaration of a state of emergency and your "inalienable" rights are GONE. Mass, USA: Pandemic response bill 2028 passed the Mass. state Senate on April 28th and is...

Binary logic The unbeliever is already deceived. Harry Potter doesn't get them any further from God than they already are. If they are seeking God, they will see in the pages of Harry Potter nothing more than humans making human choices, for good or evil, and Good triumphing because ultimately...

The doctrines of men.... Pastor Joseph Prince is fond of saying "Do not go seeking a perfect church...but if you find one, don't go inside! If you do, it will be no more perfect." When the little drama which is our existence has played its course and the curtain closes, some men and women...

Amen! I once sat in on a sermon at a sick church. It wasn't quite a dead church, but it was close. The pastor went on...and on...and on. With the speed of a stenographer, I took down his sermon ver batim. I then sent him a color coded copy of it. I used the following colors...

Prohibition Are we reading the same book? God already answered us on this. He may not have granted us a specific "start date," (could be 1000 years from now, could be tomorrow) but He *did* give us a specific chain of events and requirements for the "sign of the beast." Take note of the...

Except for one bit... It is certainly a story that one can learn from. However, be cautious if you decide to share it that you don't tell the story as if it were your own.

True, precise, accurate, and correct. You seem to be someone rather strongly guided to a great fascination for or even love of the smaller details of Scripture. I wonder if you wouldn't enjoy learning Koine Greek. You might find upon exploration that you have a gift for languages. Be warned...

The dreaded "also" of gloomy doomness! This thread didn't make two pages in length and already it is heated and divided. There's a reason people say the Devil is in the details. I don't remember who mentioned apologetics, but we're not engaged in that practice. This thread was one of...

Pfffft What scientists don't tell you is that the most basic building blocks of "life" are all ready all over space. At the core, humanity and all carbon-based life on Earth is made up of odd mixes of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. Every protein and amino acid and enzyme out there...

Just an FYI This is a true story, as confirmed by local ABC affiliate channel 10 news in San Diego, channel 3, and Fox News website. However, it happened back in May, so it would no longer be appropriate to start collecting signatures for a petition or starting a letter writing campaign...

D-ribose sugar I'm not sure it qualifies as "food," but I just got a bottle of d-ribose sugar and so far the results have been really good. I have CFS and hypoglycemia, so I'm always looking for non-steroidal ways to keep my energy up. You can look up d-ribose sugar on the Internet to get...
