    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    There is no point for you to write the whole story from Acts here. I have read it a few times. The people in Asia who abandoned Paul were of course Christians because deserting him implies that they were once loyal and friendly to him and had some kind of relationship with Paul. Therefore this...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    1. The apostle "Luke" tells us in the book of Acts (Luke wrote Acts), that Paul was rejected by the local town silver smith rustling up a riot to attempt to support his business in making idols for worship of pagan Gods (specifically Artemis) then later by the local Jews during his second visit...

    What is God's highest priority?

    Salvation is being saved from eternal separation from God, from the wrath of God. We are born into this world in enmity with God. We can not make it right with God in doing enough good to make up for the sins we are guilty of. And we certainly can't change the nature by which we are born...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    Believing and maintaining one’s Christian beliefs takes effort. All should pray for Holy Spirit, read and meditate on God’s word (daily) and test it out.-Acts 17:11. Examine yourself to determine if the following counsel is affecting you. Having a spiritual eye-or insight/understanding-as is a...

    If science proves that non-local consciousness is real how does that change your understanding

    I have always thought of spirit in a material way, just not something we can see - a form of energy, yes, but nothing we know of. I remember, years ago, telling someone how we are all connect to this "energy", but there are two different kinds, from two different sources, with two different...

    If science proves that non-local consciousness is real how does that change your understanding

    I believe this is a good direction for Christians to meditate on. I see Spirit as Electromagnetism/Energy mixed with Electronic Communication and Consciousness. Our Spirit has always existed and will continue to exist. It is the part of us that is indestructible. Ephesians 2:2 "Wherein in...

    Salvation in Your Religion

    It’s not contradictory. I am not saying that a person is no longer in control of what they do, although a believer’s life is to be willingly submitted to Christ. This is a daily, moment by moment decision. Certainly, one must know about sin. In the first place, when someone trusts Christ to save...

    Does this scare you?

    This appears to be speaking of a spiritual death being disconnected from God in some way.

    Does this scare you?

    What do you think of Ephesians 2:1?

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    So anyone who disagrees with anything the bible says is being influenced by demons? Do think slavery is ever morally justifiable in the way it is described in Exodus 21, or are you being influenced by demons? :rolleyes:

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    I can post quotes from Lord of the Rings but that isn't going to make Gandolf real? That is a fictional story about a Greek savior demigod. But that post is in contradiction with others. Here it says you are saved by faith, not from works. So noone can boast. Except....... For you render to...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    I said everyone who isn’t saved is under the influence of the kingdom of darkness, the prince and power of the air, yes. That’s Bible, JW’s are a cult. “And you were dead in your trespasses and sins in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world, according to the ruler of the...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    Oh are you JW? They teach things like that. Everyone who disagrees is influenced by a demon. Again, In the OT Satan is an agent of Yahweh. He is sent by Yahweh to deliver a plague. He asks to torture Job. Yahweh sends Satan to torment Saul. Satan serves as a prosecutor in the trial of Zechariah...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    Where can I find one of these demons? How do I know they exist at all? I've never seen nor heard a demon. So there is no evidence that I'm being influenced by them. So I will dismiss the claim, unless you have some evidence.

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    You aren’t a demon but according to the Bible you are being influenced by demons or the prince and power of the air. I would expel them in the name of Jesus Christ. “And you were dead in your trespasses and sins in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world, according to the...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    So you're going to just double down on more claims. Demonic activity? When did anyone demonstrate that demons exist and can carry out "activities?"
  17. ElishaElijah

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    Maybe get out a little more or see the news, or maybe you just don’t recognize the demonic activity around you even how people are being influenced to think certain way. “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world...

    What do you make of this?

    You seem to have taken my reply to Hockeycowboy (post 38) out of context and misread my sarcasm to be what I literally meant. I said "Why didn't Paul say they were still alive in the mind of God? Because apparently they weren't." That was sarcasm and mirrored something that Hockey had said and...

    What do you make of this?

    You are reading it Brian. :dizzy: Luke 20:38 New International Version He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.” New Living Translation So he is the God of the living, not the dead, for they are all alive to him.” English Standard Version Now he is not God...

    God is Holy, Man is fallen and needs salvation

    This is the Messenger, the flesh we saw as Jesus was in reality, Christ, the 'Self of God'. All we know of God, the Character, is of the name and attributes of Jesus the Christ. The Essence of God we can not know. This talks of the capacity of the human soul. We are born on the edge of...
