    The Kindness Box

    Kindness fruit of spirit Here is one - The fifth fruit of the Spirit is kindness. True kindness is taught to us in Ephesians 4:31-32, “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each...

    Spiritual Evidence and Proofs of God’s Existence

    The Bible supports it? No. God disproved of it. Jesus confirmed that. The Bible is a record of history, so it does not exclude things that people did - bad, or good. The Bible is not a crutch. It is a document. It supports nothing. :D Bible principles help us with that. Hence, living by Bible...

    Your Christian Identity

    I have a question for you, a thought experiment Say there was an isolated tribe of humans who could read and understand English Imagine that an English edition of The Holy Bible materialised within their midst and they went about studying it and that they considered it to have been given to...

    Your Christian Identity

    I don't get that impression. I've seen your posts. Do you consider yourself stable in mind? Picking and choosing what you like, and what you don't is like trying to make your own Bible. How can that work? Why won't such persons consider throwing it away like many people have, and just declare...

    Has any believer here ever called into the Atheist Experience?

    The biblical scriptures are full of instructions and admonitions concerning relationships with others, seeking forgiveness, apologizing, and/or making things right when others have been wronged. Certainly seeking forgiveness from God is important, but the Christian life involves a lot more...

    Are all sins equal?

    Sin is any action, feeling, or thought that goes against God’s standards. It includes breaking God’s laws by doing what is wrong, or unrighteous, in God’s sight. (1 John 3:4; 1 John 5:17) The Bible also describes sins of omission ... that is, failing to do what is right. (James 4:17) Are some...

    I have changed my mind

    You say the violence was only self-defence. But if it was self-defence then why did God according to the Bible wanted them to kill children? Do you really think that is loving? I know that is NOT loving. God did NOT command the people to kill children. The man who wrote that used God as an...

    I have changed my mind

    Do you really believe that God commanded the people to kill children? But no. God did NOT command the people to kill children. The man who wrote that used God as an exuse for terrible actions

    I have changed my mind

    Does John 13:34-35 sound like this comes from a violent God? Yes, these are Jesus’ words, but this came from his Father (John 12:49), his God. — John 20:17. I mean, read Colossians 3:12-14; Ephesians 4:31-32; etc. Why did Yahweh kill those in ancient Israel’s past? He was defending His...

    Speech, thoughts and action

    Colossians 4:6 Ephesians 4:31-32 Colossians 3:12-14 Not very many apply it in this world...especially now when the Bible is scoffed at! But when viewing it in context, it’s wisdom is priceless, IMO! (Reading these Scriptures in the supplied KJV....my goodness! It’s awful! Please, staff, add...

    Has mankind lost?

    If that 'speck ' was about culpability, then what Luke wrote included 'community responsibility' as mentioned at Acts of the Apostles 2:22 ' ye men of Israel '. Collectively they failed to bring Jesus to justice as per Deuteronomy 21:1-9. Thus, I find the ' speck ' of Luke 6:41-42 is expressing...

    Ask me any bible related question!

    This is in the Hebrew Scriptures (OT), for the nation of Israel, who were surrounded by enemies. Misogyny: why is that always mentioned, but not misandry? (Weren't more enemy men killed, than enemy women?) Human sacrifice: I don't think so. Lol. Animal sacrifice: Yes. There was a reason. Do...

    For Christians. Was the flood real or just a myth?

    You're joking, right? Where in the Bible does God say "Guess what .... I was wrong about that slavery stuff. It's immoral to own human beings as property now." ?

    For Christians. Was the flood real or just a myth?

    I think maybe He has, too... "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger... But become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving one another" (Ephesians 4:31-32); "With all humility, consider others as superior to you" (Philippians 2:3); "Continue loving your enemies" (Matthew...

    Overcoming offensive opinions

    That’s the first major step to doing anything...”I want to”! If you know my posting pattern, you know what I’ll say: something from the Bible (I can’t help it.): Ephesians 4:31-32. What helps to do this — really the key to all good relationships— is applying Philippians 2:3. Can you imagine...

    Be compassionate

    Good message, I agree completely. I've noticed curious changes as I just turned 80 and have less need of everything it seems, so I have extras to give away often. My situation is that I've been more than fortunate throughout my life, mostly through no effort or design of my own, just chance...

    Be compassionate

    The dictionary describes compassion as being “sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.” In the Bible there are several verses about the importance of compassion. In 1 John 3:17 we read “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but...

    A Moral question on the nature of "Forgiveness"

    You answered my post about the difference between forgiveness and punishment with the theme for forgiveness. Forgiveness never does away with punishment. Punishment shall come notwithstanding forgiveness - without fail. As Jeremiah said and Paul also, "And I shall have to correct you to the...
