It’s very interesting you are saying this. A few weeks ago the same thought occurred to me.

It seems more and more that accepting homosexuality is what it will take to continue enjoying economic benefits and freedoms. We already see here in the U.S. that some Christian business owners are having their livelihoods threatened if they do…[Read more]

The last time I checked, a human being is neither a binity or a trinity. To claim that God is a binity or trinity, would end up making the above scripture an untruth.

Was there a conversation that you and I had that I have no memory of? I say that because you are saying “40” this and “hundreds of thousands” that. When did I ever mention numbers to you???
Why do you address me in such a manner?

I’m guessing you do not comprehend what I was getting at. The simple way of putting it is that the chosen were called as were many others. The dividing line occurs when many who are called do not stay faithful. Thus, only a few are chosen (the few who REMAIN faithful unto death) amongst those who have been called.

Nothing circular about…[Read more]

I think it is quite simple when you really think about it. After contemplation, I realized it could simply mean that even though many are called, not all will obey. The ones that DO obey are the ones that will be chosen.

A reference to the narrow gate, so to speak.

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.”

i THOUGHT i recalled a scripture i thought said that, or something similar, but i have looked for it and can’t seem to find it

I believe the verse/scripture you are referring to is Romans 14:22

Thank you so very much for your prayers…you have no idea what it means to me <3

I will pray for Liam and for your family. God heals through Christ and I will pray for healing for your little one. I can imagine how precious Liam is to you and your family, because I feel the same about my children. Scripture says that…[Read more]

My son has been struggling with addiction for years. He is bi-polar which results in him self medicating with alcohol and substances. He had an episode this weekend here at our house involving an argument with his older brother. ( his older brother had had enough of his ranting and raving) So a fist fight broke out.…[Read more]

That scripture is not at all implying that one of them sins more than the other. Rather, the scripture is basically saying that even though BOTH were sinners, the one who had MORE love in their heart received more forgiveness BECAUSE of that love. The one who had the lesser amount of love received the lesser amount of…[Read more]

Yeah, that was a post I did before you showed me how to do it correctly 🙂

I believe stronger than ever that the Internet (666, WWW) is the IMAGE of the BEAST (Kingdom), and that we serve it.

That is an interesting theory – but, for the most part, I cannot jump on board with that idea.

The internet (WWW) is also a tool used for good. If not for the internet, we (the members of this forum) would probably…[Read more]

Idols of gold brass silver stone and wood. (Islam does not allow images in worship)

A very compelling point you’ve made. Thank you for bringing that important tidbit to the table, Camillia! 😉

Perhaps the Church as an entity personifies “The Bride” and the individual people WITHIN the Church/Body personifies the “guest(s)”. I THINK that idea/theory/explanation might have already been touched upon here in an earlier post.

But yeah, it CAN make more sense of scripture if one looks at it in that way; That those individuals…[Read more]

God, indeed, works in mysterious ways 😉

When something is in the process of “happening” we sometimes cannot, right then and there, see it for what it is; But only afterwards, can we truly see and understand that God’s Hand was in it.

I found out about this a few weeks ago and wanted to run it by you to get your take on it.

An ancient papyrus was found that supposedly pre-dates the previous material known to have been used for our current translation of a verse in Revelation.

The found papyrus is naturally disintegrated because of it’s age and the way it was stored,…[Read more]

Indeed…God sees ALL.

This video shows how someone who has very little to nothing is willing to share what little he does have with others who are in need. He put others before himself – as it should be. We are told in scripture to be generous and selfless…and this homeless man should serve as a good example to all of us who have yet to…[Read more]
