Thank you. Are there things that your faith inspires you to practice in every part of your life, wherever you go and whatever you do, for example in your interactions with people, at work, and when you’re out and about?
I really like that armor idea!
We have mantras in Hinduism that are considered 'armor'. Sometimes if I am worried, I will listen to one of these kavachams... I think the one I use most the the Sita Kavacham(armor of Sita).
I love your practice!
I practice my faith through Bible reading, singing worship songs, prayer and going to church. I was inspired by my pastor to do these movements where I go through the armor of God and do physical movements to put them on as well as putting on prayer and praise. The armor of God includes the belt...
Sorry, but I beg to differ. Slaves who were literate scribes were few and far between. Vast numbers of slaves worked on the latifundia -farms - of the elite. Many worked in chains. Some latifundia had as many as 4,000 slaves. They worked until they died of exhaustion, almost never of old...
Slaves had different status in NT days. They were not compensated with money but some held very responsible positions, e.g, scribes.
Paul referred to himself as a slave, e.g., Romans 1:1, NET: "From Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God."...
You are quite wrong here.. I am happy to discuss Hebrews 4 in detail. It disagrees with you. Before we do that thought can you please tell me what the New covenant is? (see Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:10-12)
JESUS said
* Think not that I have come to destroy the law or the prophet - Matthew...
Rather, I find it is so-called Christians because they ignored Jesus' words found at Matthew 26:52-53; John 18:11.
Genuine followers of Christ use and rely on spiritual weapons ( 2nd Corinthians 10:4; Ephesians6:11-17 )
Remember: Jesus foretold MANY who come in his name will prove false -...
A Prayer for Mental Illness:
Dear God, I come to you with a heavy heart. I pray for those battling mental illness. I pray you give them strength to keep fighting. I pray they know that they are loved, wanted, and valued. I ask that you bring a community around them that is godly, loving, and...
There is no truth in this statement whatsoever. According to the scriptures Jesus says in Mark 2:27 that the Sabbath was made for all mankind. You did not think your argument through again. When God made the Sabbath for all mankind there was no Jew, no Israel, no Moses. There was only Adam and...
Sorry, but you are creating your own church history from whole cloth. Nothing about this is true.
Any reading of from our early second and third century historians show otherwise. Sunday worship flowed directly from the first century Christians up to and including the present day. The only...
Intercessory Prayer
Have you ever felt an unexplained burden on your heart to pray for the masses, for unnamed others, for your community or the world at large? That is the Holy Spirit calling you to intercession. The Bible is filled with examples of men and women who lifted up others in...
You know as well as I do that just about every country in the world will never give up their sovereignty for a worldwide centralized power if it doesn't match their own ideals and visions.
It would actually take a world war by a country or countries for which a worldwide government would be...
My reference is from this verse...
Genesis 37:9-10
"And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his...
All God's children are Eternal. Could God really be at a Higher Level frying the kids? No!! What are a few wayward kids to a Being capable of creating Universes? I don't see the problem.
What one needs to concentrate on is one's own choices. That is what generates the lessons God sends. People...
