Mother & Sister I believe so, Brother-in-law I doubt it. We've been praying that God will use his situation to draw him to the Father (he does want us praying for him)Thanks to all for the prayers – Wm

Please pray for my mother she had two seizures tonight and is in the hospital. My brother-in-law has 8 hours of cancer surgery tomorrow and between both my sister is a wreck.Thank you

Thank you Jack,He has been on my mind recently, I sent him a PM about a week ago (first one ever I think). Words fail to express my feelings, but as I petitioned the Lord on their behalf He bought this scripture to mind: Romans 8:26 So too the Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how…[Read more]

Quote (bornagainjdpaul1x3 @ June 21 2012,18:15)@ speaking truth, thanks for the welcome. Question though, how is it that you conclude that DocHoliday is a 'new believer' as opposed to one who has been in the faith for some years but unfortunately has been exposed for the most part to ministry and doctrine that, whilst well-meaning and good…[Read more]

DocHolliday52,Read scriptures is the best advise I can give, it is the whole of scripture that is your safeguard. You can make the Bible say whatever you want by cherry picking certain verses but if your interpretation of a verse causes a conflict with another then you need to re-examine your interpretation. Keep a log of your beliefs and you'll…[Read more]

bornagainjdpaul1x3,A good admonition, as it should be with a newer believer. We all started off unsure but God was patient with us as we should be patient with others, after all there is much to learn, I've been at it for over 30 years, actively seeking, but have only scratched the surface on what there is to know. Welcome, hope you stick…[Read more]

So says the muslim who frequents a christian web site, quoting from the koran, all the while denying or distorting christian scriptures. Despite that he is allowed to post his views, except in the believers area so discussion there can center around scripture without distractions. My opinion – Wm

Doc,My viewpoint is that I use Enoch to clarify scripture, but not to set doctrine.Wm

DocWelcome you do not have to believe any certain doctrine here to be considered a believer only that you believe in the scriptures.

Please

Kathi,Depending on which definition you use for offspring #5 in dictionary says “it is the product, result, or effect of something: the offspring of an inventive mind.” and as I believe the Son is a manifestation of the Father part of His nature is from all eternity, so for the most part we are in agreement at least within the boundaries of…[Read more]
