I apologize for not staying involved with this thread, but I would like to thank those that have participated, for not letting this thread denigrate into something that no one would feel comfortable being involved with. I prayed about it and asked the administrator about it before I brought it...

Look at tongues for example. In the book of Acts we can see that the Holy Spirit brought the gift of tongues to those that were gather for observance of Pentecost. The folks there were able to hear the gospel in their own languages. (Acts2:1-13). They were real languages. If you go over to...

These spiritual gifts I believe were once legitimate gifts from the Holy Spirit , used to authenticate the gospel and of the deity of Jesus. My question is this. Are they legitimate gifts given to anyone in our modern age?

It might be that she is to be handed over to Satan and her church also. Maybe some sifting is needed for her to see her sinfulness.

Just a few short years ago my wife and I gave away all our possessions to the thrift store which is affiliated with a local church in the northern Atlanta area, and went on the road to where my job sent me. We got a lot of comments made to us regarding the letting go of those possessions. Some...

My thought on this is that praying to saints and esteeming anyone other than Christ as the object of my worship, is not the way God meant for it to be. Mary isn't the queen of heaven. Transubstantiation isn't the way of Communion. No one needs to pay indulgences to purge from Purgatory...

BAC, Have you discussed this with your cousin?

Hi Dana, You can search for people that are in need of evangelizing , or volunteer for groups that help meet the needs of those less fortunate. You can join the choir and sing praises to The Lord. Ask God and He will direct your path. Helping others can be a humbling experience. It has helped me...

I am picturing Mike dancing before The Lord with a smile on his face !! It's amazing the people God puts into our lives to share in the joy. I have friends like that. They are rare gems. But to be cherished forever!! Grandmamary , God has blessed you also with a rare gem in Mike. This is how I...

Hi Squeaky, It would appear as though folks are ganging up on you regarding trinitarianism. I have to admire your standing on your convictions , however it seems the thread is coming to an impasse. We all know it's the job of the Holy Spirit to teach and convince what is written in God'sWord...

Squeaky, Did you get a chance to compare Gen.1:1 with Col.1:15-17? BAC presented some pretty compelling evidence. Do you fully understand the term Godhead?

Some verses to consider: Job 26:10; Is. 40:22. It would seem folks knew the earth was round even from Scripture.

Thank you Mike for sharing your heart with us. I've often thought too about what is really important in my life. A wise person once asked me if today was my last day, what would be important to me? It sort of caught me off guard, but when I got to thinking about it, I realized some things about...

Daniel, If you go to the book of James, chapter 4 , verses 7-10, you may find your answer you are searching. TC

The Holy Spirit isn't spatially removed. But rather a stepping aside from restraining will take place. Compare 2Thess. 2:7 with Col. 2:14 where you will read how our sins are taken out of the way. Our sins are no longer a barrier from us to God. Our sins aren't gone, but taken out of the way...

Hi Darian, Its ok to have your beliefs , but to say that those that have a different view regarding the rapture and the Tribulation is heresy, garbage and lies , sort of stings a little. I am a pre Trib rapture before Tribulation kind of guy, and if you like, I can show you how I came to that...

Heaven and Paradise are the same place . See 2Cor. 12:1-4; Rev2:7; Rev. 22:14.

One of the roles the Holy Spirit is to testify to us of Christ and makes His truth known to us. (John 15:26;16:14,15). He woos people to Christ. In Matt:12:31,32, we can read how a person can blaspheme God and it still be forgiven. Paul was guilty of this before his conversion. He thought he...

The bride isn't an invited guest to her wedding. She IS the wedding. Those that are invited are 'friends of the Bridegroom'. I've never seen a wedding where the bride or the groom get invited to their own wedding. They are the one who invite.

I'm not saying that drinking alcohol is a sin, but please allow me to expand on the comment I made regarding being a stumbling block to those that are weaker in faith. If I am convinced that it's ok to drink alcohol , but my brother 's conscience is convinced that it is sinful, then my...
