Are tiles issued on all threads or only hot seat threads?There's times I go weeks with no time to respond to questions I want to answer, would we be allowed to postpone for extended times?Personally I think it would work better to change the "group" from member or whatever, to coward or something to denote to others refusal to answer, possibly…[Read more]

Quote (karmarie @ April 01 2011,19:03)Hi.Well, as believers in Jesus Christ we should be behaving properly right? We are supposed to be taking the message to the World. So, I just find it more irritating when believers act wrong, than I do with non believers. Non believers don't know better. So if I don't like how some believers are acting and…[Read more]

Love is not fulfilled by always being “nice” to one another. Sometimes love brings correction although without condemnation. John 7:24 “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” However I believe we should be very careful when we bring correction, a loving correction always judges themselves first.My opinion – Wm

I believe we should let scriptures judge the actions of fellow believers, however there are occasions were we may find ourselves in the position of having to restore that person gently. Romans 14:13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this– not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way.  1…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ Mar. 30 2011,11:23)Hi SThow you doing long time not talk to you,Pierre,God is truly blessing us while seeing us through trials. Went to Chicago for a meeting last week and hit a chuck of metal on I94, it blew my tire out at over 75mph, but I pulled over safely to the side of the road. An emergency van a few hundred yards ahead…[Read more]

Quote (karmarie @ Mar. 30 2011,11:07)Hi Pierre and Seeking.Here are some thing's that I think are important;1) Trusting God to show us who he is – not man.2) Making sure that everyone who we meet and know knows what we believe.    And being a good example,3) Being humble and meek to all.4) If you havent been baptised then perhaps being baptised, b…[Read more]

Pierre,Quote this is totally false;no one can come to God otherwise than through Christ ,and if you do not know Christ how then can you benefit from his sacrifice Do you believe that Abraham was saved by his faith alone? Did Abraham believe in Jesus? I believe Abraham was saved by his faith, but it was the sacrifice of Jesus that paid the price…[Read more]

KarmarieQuote I believe searching for truth as in doctrine is a waste of time, as God reveals the truth to us in his own time, not ours. And the rest of the time is better spent sharing Gods love and plan for mankind with others.I agree and disagree, while I believe that only God can provide the revelation to truths we are told to “be diligent to…[Read more]

Wispring,My understanding is that Jesus did this by way of an example, not out of necessity. Just like washing feet He leads us to truths by example. The truth I believe He was portraying for us was obedience in all things. My opinion – Wm

Wispring,Good format, I believe these verses are foundational to any discussion.Quote John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.I apologize for being slightly out of order from…[Read more]

dirtyknections,I posted this a couple of months ago, I believe it shows how satan can uses partial truths out of context in such a way that every word may be true but in the end it's all a lie, he is the father of lies.Quote Down on my Luck: 100% trueWe have fallen on hard times since my business was taken away 3 years ago but last month found me…[Read more]

JBL,One thing that really helped me was listening to praise music, this one touched me the most http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h89-3_kIRDA&feature=related Wm

JBL,You definitely have my heartfelt sympathy. The best reading I could suggest would be scriptures, John and Romans are the best. God is real and His unfailing love is our comfort, I know it's hard at a time like this but draw close to Him and He will draw close to you. You'll be in our prayers.Wm

SF,So had I, I stumbled across it looking for something I had read some time ago, this was not it, but it seemed appropriate with some of the discussions going on.Wm

“It is this combative atmosphere which sometimes encourages scientists writing and speaking about the origin of life to become as dogmatic and bigoted as the creationist opponents they so despise.” (Dr. Andrew Scott, Chemist and science writer)Thought it was an interesting quote.

kj,I agree that this is not a verse about water baptism, after reading your post I studied this verse, went to different translations, to the original Greek, and prayed about it and after a couple of hours I felt the Lord had showed me that this verse referred to making a group of people by immersing them in the experiential knowledge of what it…[Read more]

karmarie,I believed it because it was what I was taught.I did question it but felt I was “off base” to question doctrine established by smarter men then me.Because most translations we have translate aion as eternal instead of “The entirety of time for the object being discussed”After more than 20 years I realized that an eternal hell went aga…[Read more]

Paladin,Thanks, I thought it was a good demonstration of how Christians, who all read the same scriptures, can arrive at totally different, even opposite opinions, despite each side having “truth” (although select) supporting them. My opinion – Wm
