@Lightenup

Can you please include the scripture that states that “God the Father is the Father of the only begotten God who is the Son”? Because I do not remember ever reading any verse in scripture that actually says that.

Thanks! 🙂

@NickHassan

It is of the world and the world’s church.

But it has little to do with the verses in scripture about the Nicolaitans

Can you elaborate on that?

It’s disturbing to find out we have unknowingly been performing pagan acts this whole time…

Who Are the “Nicolaitans”?

Some writers from the second century onward attempted to link the Nicolaitans (Revelation 2:6, 15)
with the deacon Nicolas (or Nicolaus) mentioned in Acts 6:5. However, as the International Standard

I was looking and couldn’t find any sort of topic keyword search. If there isn’t any, is there a possibility of getting one?

Because of my upbringing, I grew up not celebrating Christmas for the most part.

When I began my walk with Christ, I thought that maybe perhaps doing the whole Christmas thing was ok. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it wasn’t quite right.

Not only do people of the Christian faith celebrate Christmas, but so do Jews and…[Read more]

Gene,

In your post, you are in essence admitting that we can do something other than what God’s Will for us is. You continue to say that God causes us to walk in His Way(clearly YOUR understanding of the word ’cause’ in scripture means “to force”), but then you say Satan has the power to deceive us and keep us from walking in God’s Way because we…[Read more]

Gene,

Have you ever heard the saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink”?

Yes, scripture says God draws us…and he does, but like the horse, we choose to drink or to not drink the life giving water God has drawn/lead us to.

THAT is why Jesus commands His disciples to go out and spread the Gospel. Preaching the…[Read more]

@t8

Touché!

Gene, once again….your post does not add up.

Why should God give us trials and tribulation and salt us with fire if in the end He makes us do His Will, regardless? What purpose is testing our faith if He can just make us do what He wants, and according to you, DOES make us do what He wants, anyway? With your conclusions about this subject, we…[Read more]

Gene,

You still did not answer the question, which is: WHY THEN should we spread the Gospel if God will draw/drag people to Him in spite of their no good hearts?

Can you come to a good conclusion about that, Gene?

Gene, you wrote:

Grasshopper…….have you ever thought that is why PAUL SAID , For after that in the wisdom of GOD the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the “FOOLISHNESS” OF “PREACHING”, to save them that believe”.

You seem to be taking that portion of the scripture out of it’s full context in order to show how preaching “itself” is f…[Read more]

Gene,

Then why preach and teach the truth? Why then should we tell people they need to repent of their sins and proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? If God will draw all to Him, and nothing is our choice because we have no will of our own, then preaching and ministering is of no use. Your conclusions are that all will eventually be saved. If…[Read more]
