Did Christ live in a perfect world? ....hmmm. Maybe we wouldn't know heaven if we
didn't see sin/glimpses of sin in the world. What would we have to turn from? Why would we want anything else? We have a taste of both here and we hope for Heaven. We know what we
'deserve', we know...
Gee, God forbid real temporal issues 'of our times regarding sin' would show up and be discussed. Let's not ever 'discuss' them and they will 'go away' Then 'what becomes of the church' if it is not a leader and sounding board for the world? Nothing, dead, another withered voice with no...
What's the difference between Roman Catholic and Orthodox regarding the Lord's Supper? I mean,
would you deny orthodox Christians? What about Protestants who fought against corruption in the church at that time? Do you mean, when you deny persons from communion, that they are not worthy to...
ok, while I'm still lol, is anybody here old enough to have children? Does anybody really believe that we are born without sin? It's kind of evident - 3-6 months old - big time, and then at 8-12 months, the 'lip' comes.....whose has sinless children? Show me one? I have 5 - (they are so...
Have you ever read the Words of Jesus Himself? Read! He talks the most about Hell in the BIble. (I mean 'woe') Why don't you replenish this particulr forum by reading His words on HELL/Salvation?! (we all are constantly confused) We HEAR His voice, and FOLLOW Him. (period) The Holy...
ok, the virgins lacked oil. Without the Holy Spirit, we wouldn't even believe it. Who gives us the oil?/Spirit to believe? Who convicts us? Who melts our hearts? (stone to flesh?) Who changes our life? There is no faith without works and no works without faith. (ok, you're...
Well, I'm at a loss. What is a 'Christian' funeral? Does it mean a person of 'faith' isn't allowed to perform a presentation at a funeral of an unbeliever? or one perhaps who is a believer 'struggling' with sin?
I would think that any church representative would perform a funeral that would...
I believe they are for us. Jesus said they were and added more. If the Word was 'written on our hearts' (i.e. we can't pretend to not know right from wrong) then, of course, where can we run and pretend to deny our pretentiousness?
There are no 'good' people - no-one, not one. We are created for His good pleasure, to enjoy Him and worship Him forever. Essentially, although somewhat shocking (everyday), it's not about 'us' although it clearly involves us! :-) Journey On!
