    I need help this is not a joke nor drill

    I would offer that it’s the other way around, “With God comes Satan.” 1 Peter 5:6-11 NIV [6] Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. [7] Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. [8] Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the...

    Spirituality involves a change of heart based upon experience, just the same as being unspiritual required a change of heart based upon experience.

    I don’t see your free inquiry as being co-opted. I see your frustration because you’re not spiritual. Spirituality is not some special, magical state of mind. It comes with the willingness and faith to believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, Word of God, and truth from cover to...

    Interfaith Thoughts Requested

    Depends upon your definition of unity. Your own ego may be causing you to see things as animosity. We, as Christians, consider the following. 1 Corinthians 2:13-14 NIV [13] This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual...

    Who was, and is the beast right now?

    Revelation was written when Christians were entering a time of persecution. The two periods most often mentioned are the latter part of Nero’s reign (AD 54 – 68) and the latter part of Domitian’s reign (AD 81 – 96). Most interpreters date the book c. AD 95.

    Predestinated ?

    There is another factor that should be considered when contemplating the evil in this world, the devil. 1 Peter 5:8 NIV [8] Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Revelation 12:9-12 NIV [9] The great dragon was hurled...
