I just finished reading a post on Hell, and am curious to know what percentage of Christians believe there is a place of torment we like to call Hell.

Hello Michael, First of all welcome to the forum. It was interesting to read your post. I too find that "selling all that you have, and giving to the poor" is not a popular concept. Furthermore, when the concept is supported, it is extremely difficult to actually give what you have. I think it...

Thank you for bringing to remembrance the wonderful love of the Lord. This subject reminds me of the saying, "The fathers' have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge." (Ezekiel 18:2) It goes on to say that whether or not your father is unrighteous you will not pay for his...

John 15 I AM THE TRUE VINE 1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto...

I think my main point is that there is a lack of male leadership in churches as well as homes. As I was writing the previous post, it came to me that for some odd reason we put, for the most part, women in spiritual leadership roles to teach the children in churches, and then expect them to know...

Thank you for your prayers. My mom said that everything went very well. Praise God!

The other day I was talking to some of my great-aunts, and my cousin who is shacked up with a girl, was mentioned. One of my Aunts asked when I thought he would marry. I said that he should already be married if he wanted a woman. I told them that he was commiting fornication. You should have...

I see rev just posted a message while I was writing mine. He is right I believe. We are non denominational, and the site says that it is for serious Christians, as well as for those who are seeking God. I do not think that it matters how mature in Christ you are, as long as you are seeking to do...

Nowadays I would not make my decisions on what is right or wrong based on what "Christians" "believe" in. There are major errors in most of the churches here in Canada, not to mention the whole world. We need to look to the Holy Scriptures to see what God thinks about things. Ask Him and always...

@CuddleBunny282 First of all I am not saying that it is a sin to get a tattoo. What I will say is that to love the world, or the things that are in the world is sin. Check 1 John 2:15-17. Secondly, it is very dangerous to pick and choose what we want to believe out of the Bible. If there are...

For the longest of times I have wanted to complete a seven day fast, but every time I attempt, I lose all self control, and find myself more discouraged than I was previously. I have fasted for three days before, and I fast regularly every week, but it seems that I am completely incapable of...

Dear CuddleBunny282, If you do not believe that the Bible is the true word of God, then what assurance and hope can you have? If you do not believe that what it says is true and correct, then whatever we say, myself and the other forum members, is worth no value. We come down to relativism. And...

@revbrad Amen to that Brother! The context of this verse is about whether or not we should eat meat, or drink. In other words we are speaking of the normal things in life. Romans 14:20-22 "It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is...

Hello Stephanie, How are you? This is anya here and I just wanted to say welcome, even though you have been a member longer than I have! Hope you are getting on with your search for Christ. My prayer for you is found in Ephesians 1:15-23. Love in Christ, anya

If you read in Genesis it says that by eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, as Adam and Eve did, their eyes were opened. God never created man with that knowledge in the beginning. Also why would we ditch the O.T. when Jesus said that not one jot or tittle would fail, until...

Just because God gives us the ability to do something does not make it right. We have the ability to worship Satan. Does that make it right? We have the ability to commit fornication. Does that mean it is Ok? I think your reasoning is a little off. If you are getting a tattoo on your back...

Praise the Lord Dannibear, that you did not give into the flesh! That is how we overcome. I have a similar situation(situations) and I have learned the exact same thing. What we sow we reap. If we sow negative thoughts, harsh words, and a bad attitude to the ones who really are mean, we will...

I liked your post rizen1. You are right. God says in Hebrews 13:4 "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Some think that its "ok" to have sex once you are engaged, but that is totally wrong. How do you even know if you are going to...

@_aaron Greetings brother, I have been against social networking too. I have heard toooooo many christians wish that they had never gotten FB. Furthermore, the stuff people post on there is garbage and filth. I've looked up some people a couple of times, and it was rather degrading just trying...
