Aye.

Bollocks.

”Before Abraham I am” was spoken by the Son in whom God dwelled.

we know that God spoke through the Son as Heb 1 told us.

why should it confuse folks?

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself.

When Jesus is referring to God he says so.

My Father… Only God is good… My father is greater than I…

When Jesus says: “Before Abr…[Read more]

Hi desiretruth,

Convinced in your own ideas your hope is to draw others into your doubts and isolation.

Sure that the ways of God are like your own is your downfall.

Only God can make you childlike again.

Hi Desiretruth,

No religious affiliation.
Your questions are never to uplift but only to pull down faith because that is where your soul languishes in hopelessness and misery which is a lonely place.

@Nick,

You still don’t understand, I am merely asking questions and offering additional thoughts, albeit contrary to what I have been taught for over 40 years. You still have answered zero questions; which tells me you aren’t as strong in your faith as you think you are. You keep saying “nothing new under the sun”; then my questions should have…[Read more]

The Modern “ church” bears no relationship to that which established by Jesus Christ but is a false one and doomed to collapse and reveal her true nature.

A vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying

” Come over to Macedonia and help us”….

So putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace….

and from there to Phillipines..

And on the Sabbath day we went outside the city to a riverside, where we were supposi…[Read more]

Hi Desiretruth,

With Paul we say “ It is no longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me.”

We been baptised into his death that we may share in his resurrection. Having been beheaded for the sake of his headship ticking the intellectual boxes to satisfy the minds of men is no longer relevant.

But enjoy your mission even though it will not…[Read more]

@Nick,

I’m not asking anyone to join me. I’m asking questions that no one seems to be able or willing to answer. Your responses are an excellent example and proves you cannot answer them either. Am I not suppose to question anything? Am I suppose to just blindly accept all that the church tells me? Is blind faith even faith?

Oh wait, I suppose…[Read more]

Hi Desiretruth,

It seems you must be led by sight, and understanding must go before faith.
You have yet to be buried with Christ that you may be raised with him
You do have those choices and you are welcome to make them.
But you will not be satisfied till others join your mission it seems.

@Gene,

Either I am not explaining it properly or you are intentionally ignoring/rejecting what is being said.

You: “no where in the Old Testament doe it say Jesus would be in the Grave three days and three nights”

Me: Exactly!! YET, Paul said this was “according to scripture.” If this is “according to scripture”, the only “scripture”…[Read more]

Desire Truth…….no where in the Old Testament doe it say Jesus would be in the Grave three days and thre nights,   Jesus know that so he himself compared his time in the Grave to Jonah,  and revealed it to them before it happened.  Where did Paul say that Jesus was prophesied to be in the Grave three days and three nights at?  But there are many sc…[Read more]

@Proclaimer,

Everyone seems to forget, I was on the same page (few exceptions) with most posting here. In fact was encouraged in my writings by some. Then about two months ago I came across the I Cor 15:3,4 verse; but didn’t gloss over it this time and everything was overturned…AGAIN! I have been “given” passages that are said to be poi…[Read more]

You say

“ Authentic conversion influences hereditary and acquired propensities for evil”

WOW.

intellectual nonsense filled with long impressive words from theologians.

Spare me..

Men have their own ideas about religion, but is God involved now in their activities?

Or have they wandered far from the plan He set out?

Human religion is uselessness at best.

It happened while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. He said to them,

“Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”

And they said to him,

”No , we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit”

And he said,

“Into what then were you baptised.…[Read more]

Hi to all 

Here is the Daily Devotional

MEANING OF THE CONVERSION

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature. (1 Corinthians 10:12)

The old nature, born of blood and the will of the flesh, cannot inherit the kingdom of God. We must renounce old paths, hereditary tendencies, old habits, because grace cannot be inherited. The new birth…[Read more]

Accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord and giving yourself to him is the response of what he has done for all mankind, and the result of the work of the Holy Spirit in the heart to bring us to God.

“THOSE WHO ACCEPT THE SAVIOUR…..”

“ WHEN WE GIVE OURSELVES TO JESUS””

In what way do these decisions play a part in salvation?
