Hi DT,
Yes.<span style=”text-align: right;”> Only God can show you that you need to be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Your reliance on your reasoning is the foundation of your belief system and arguments are futile .</span>

Hi DT,
Thinkers, like yourself, have got to commit intellectual suicide, and simply accept what God teaches without analysis and criticism because it is the simple and childlike ones who find the truth by obedience.
“ Thank you Father, for revealing to mere children what you have withheld from the wise and clever of this world.”
It will not be easy.

Hi DT,
You need to listen to God and obey Him and be reborn into His Son, Jesus Christ, of water and the Spirit, to begin your new and useful life. Then everything else you need will be given to you.

Hi DT,
There is hope because Paul was on a much feared murderous mission against the Body of Christ, convinced in his pharisaical zeal that he was serving God, when he was toppled from his high place becoming blind, then healed and anointed with wisdom and power. He became an amazing servant of God so why should we give up on you.

Hi DT,
You need assurance that God is not lying and the Son and those in him are also truthful witnesses?
I believe and I believe in the Spirit Who wrote the scriptures through men. I expect to understand how it all fits together when the Son returns and gathers up his sheep.
Trust in God is a huge stumbling block for you poor fellow and you…[Read more]

Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel, for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal, but the word of God is not imprisoned.2 Tim 2.8

Hi DT,
So you claim God is your Father.
And by reading the OT you found that you can be like the Ninevites and restore your own relationship with Him.
So you do not claim that your relationship with Him is through Abraham or Moses but just Adam.
You despise Jesus Christ and his brothers and reject the teachings they gave us. No intermediary…[Read more]

Hi DT,
I serve the Lord God of Israel safe in His Son Jesus Christ.
What about you???
Nick replied to the topic JOHN 1:1 who is the WORD? in the forum Scriptural Teachings 1 year, 2 months ago
Hi DT
You know about God apparently and claim some sort of relationship with Him but your god is yourself and your Bible is only your understandings.
With no foundation you are adrift in the troubled seas having no anchor to rely on.
Dig deeper and put your foundation on rock. That rock is my teachings says the Lord Jesus.

Hi DT,
Having become frustrated with your attacks on faith and despairing in your doubts you have cast aside your mask and now reveal your real target is Christianity itself.
You attack God and His Spirit.
sad.

Hi DT,
Your bitter and sarcastic complaints reveal your weak foundation of doubt.
Jealous of faith you only want to pull down others to your sad level.
Not interested dude.

Hi DT,
All you can offer is your DOUBTS.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, Who guivs to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man should expect that he will receive…[Read more]

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval.
By faith we know that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. Heb 11.1f
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must…[Read more]

Hi DT,
Your demand for intellectual satisfaction before belief can only fill your mind with doubt and frustration. In so doing you appoint yourself as your own god and the only source of truth.
I have no wish to partake in your games of confusion as My God is not a God of confusion but of peace and I accept His wisdom as greater than mine or…[Read more]

Hi DT,
Why why why?
Because until you are reborn from above you cannot see the kingdom.

Hi Berean,
If you were reborn from above you would grasp what is Spiritual, not literal.

Hi Gene,
Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all men everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising him from the dead.
Now when they heard of the resurrection…[Read more]

Hi PC,
“God knows those who are His.”
We do not and that is why we rely on the testimony of those who claim to be teachers.
Paul gave us his testimony several times as recorded in scripture.
Yours could be of help to the kingdom too.
