    Evidently the Bible is the most widely distributed book.

    Very lovely, thank you for sharing.

    Evidently the Bible is the most widely distributed book.

    WOW! (Yes, I’m shouting). What a great example of the life and light that is in the word of God! I like the way Paul talk about not being perfect, Philippians 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:"...

    Favorite one liner verse I never noticed before.

    My favorite "one liner" verse is Philippians 1:6: [6] Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus. I love this verse because it tells me that God is going to keep working on me and that I am not yet perfect and...

    Where does Christianity begin and end?

    You have a two part question. The first part takes time to explain. There are a few different ways that Christians think about what it means to be Christian. To many this is an idealistic term. 'Christian' is your life's goal and not an accomplished fact, however believing that Christ will...

    Saved By Grace Or Saved By Works?

    So we agree that your thinking here is nonsense, wholly unsupported by the scriptures. How many works is the "magic number"? Who said there was a certain amount? A person has to keep exercising faith always, and to claim that their faith is genuine, they have to keep having works to back up...

    Saved By Grace Or Saved By Works?

    Baloney. You didn't have to say it. It's obvious. So, how many works exactly is the magic number that you have to add on to Christ's sacrifice? Do you pace your kitchen floor at 3 in the morning sweating out if you've done enough? As for me, according to John 5:24, I ALREADY HAVE ETERNAL...

    Fear of homosexuality

    There's no damnation for the saved. One also should be aware of their spiritual identity. You should have had this: I am accepted… • John 1:12 I am God’s child. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God • John 15:15 As a...

    Are you a failure?

    No one reaches a gold medal without many failures along the way. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: I believe God sees us as a good work that finishes only when we see the day of Jesus...

    This is proof that the Sabbath is for Christians too.

    I also agree with the underlying symbolism of the 1,000 yr=a day theory. BTW..I recently found out ImAHebrew too :)

    This is proof that the Sabbath is for Christians too.

    Shabbat Shalom lostwanderingsoul, Mestemia, and james2ko, thank you all for your comments. I believe I may have given the wrong impression that I believe that each day was not 24 hours when Elohim, in moving/sending forth His Spirit (Genesis 1:2) RENEWED the face of the earth (Psalms 104:30)...

    Christian Salvation - saved or will be saved?

    "If you could lose your salvation, you would." John MacArthur said that and I agree with him. Salvation is of God's grace, it is a gift from Him and is neither earned nor upheld by our merits. At the same time, a true faith will produce fruit, salvation isn't a license for sin, such a life...

    Paul vrs Gnosticism

    Hi Brickjectivity, excellent post, thank you.

    Paul vrs Gnosticism

    Not too familiar with gnostic texts myself. From the discovered Nag Hammadi manuscripts plus the Gnostic gospels, from what I understand Christian Gnosticism incorporated materials from Judaism as well as from other scattered sources. The gnostic was anybody who didn't conform to the...

    Greetings

    Thanks for the welcome. Although I was not a Catholic, catholicism is not of Him, and although I was led astray in being a religious christian by making a commitment to follow Him, He set me free to rest in Him & His promises to me as my Good Shepherd that He will help me to follow Him, thus...

    LDS Atonement

    No, God saves sinners and brings them to a godly sorrow for their sins. God makes us new creatures and begins the work of sanctification when he regenerates us. The Bible does not say, "You will ultimately be forgiven or eventually be forgiven." It says to forgive one another just as God for...

    Why Dont Christians Accept the Book of Mormon as Valid?

    Those who have been saved by God's grace are created in Christ Jesus unto good works, not in order to be saved, but to glorify God. They are created in Christ Jesus because every sinner who receives the new birth is a new creation; the old man is dead. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is...

    Why Dont Christians Accept the Book of Mormon as Valid?

    And who can do the will of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. (John 6:29) But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12) Either...

    Why God created people that are destined for Hell...

    I realize that it would be ongoing work. I just don't see the point of taking on someone else's sins because how would that person ever learn? Many non christians are "zealous of good works". It seems to me that no matter how much good you do in this life, unless you believe in Jesus and...

    Why God created people that are destined for Hell...

    When God begins to change an individual, He doesn't say, "Oops! You messed up on Tuesday. I'm not helping you anymore!" Instead, He will chastise that person and give him the strength that is necessary to overcome the many temptations that plague mankind. "Being confident of this very thing...

    Ephesians verses that possibly contradicts Mormon beliefs

    Okay, thanks. It sounds like we agree then, because I also believe those scriptures to be true.
