Do you ever feel like maybe you could be doing more, or you would like to be doing more? I do sometimes. Like it says in my signature, I have some ideas about how to stop procrastinating, but I keep putting it off. :D
I love Jesus. I read His word, the biblical scriptures and seek God to continue transforming my life in Christ to be more like Jesus and help me live out the fruits of the Spirit… love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians5:22). I attend a...
I will simply answer the theological challenge above in this post...as its very clear that you do not understand the theology of Salvation by Grace through Faith.
The "dilemma of faith and works"
I am an SDA and our denomination believes that the debate about faith and works rages because a...
I am not saying that I haven't encountered any rude Christians on this forum, only not many lately. There was one but that person seems to have left.
Although this is not true for all Christians, the rudeness usually starts as soon as they find out that I am a Baha'i, not a Christian...
Not in my experience on this forum. In general, atheists and pagans are more rational and respectful than most Christians I've interacted with on RF. I've been on this forum for two and a half years, and I've rarely had an atheist or pagan resort to calling me disparaging names or posting false...
That's all I'm after. :)
Clearly, your understanding differs from mine, which is why you cannot agree with those portions you noted in my earlier post. But I'll do my best to address your question.
First of, I know that God communicates to ordinary humans. I have experienced it. In fact...
Positive psychology researchers concern themselves with what works in peoples’ lives. They want to know how to increase those experiences so that people can thrive and flourish.
The subjects explored in positive psychology are many, and diverse. Lee Rowland (2018) views the interest in kindness...
"" I learned that when I first decided """"
Yes, you decided! That is just like judaism, the individual must make the choice to keep the commandments.
The bar/bat mitzvah is the child making the commitment.
In agreement, faith is a gift from God. Only God can give this gift. I learned that when I first decided to pray. Thanks.
Galatians5:22 - King James Bible
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith
It warns you not to follow those people. And the Bible is for once right in that. The Bible also tell you not to judge. So don't follow the Hitlers of the world. But if you follow your holy book you won't judge them either. Hypothetically even the worst of them could have...
Well, the scriptures do speak a lot about having discernment, plus there are all kinds of warnings about false teachers, false doctrines, and behavior which are not fruits of the Spirit. I think if one uses God’s word to test a group like the KKK or any other group claiming to be Christian, it...
I don't like when i am confronted with the reason on gift , because i used to do that and it helped me , but was not enough.That road has strange expirience.. That is why i am walking with everything , not only with something.
Don't take it as offence please, try taking it as advice.
Don't...
Some equate kindness with weakness. Others may think little acts of kindness are frivolous and unimportant. What is the spiritual fruit of kindness meant to be?
What does God say about kindness?
Kindness is listed as a fruit of the Spirit in Galatians5:22. According to the Zondervan NIV Bible...
Throughout the NT it is specified how believers are to judge rightly or wrongly. Definitely I agree with James that believers are not to speak evil of one another and ultimately God is the only judge. Nevertheless, that is not implying that Christians are to let evil have a free pass. Do you...
Part 8:a
Galatians 3:22-26
23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
The law was for the coming of Jesus christ to be guardian until he will die for us
Romans 13:8-13
10 Love does no harm to a...

Whether the report of Jesus and the Moneychangers is true or not, where it goes completely silly for me is that (a) the moneychangers were going about their business lawfully and (b) if Jesus had any argument about what they were doing, it was not with the moneychangers but the temple...
