    The Kindness Box

    Dear God, I come before you today with a humble heart and a desire to be more like you. Fill me with your Spirit of kindness and compassion so that I may be a light to those around me. Help me to remember Philippians 2:3 as I go about my day. Remind me to do nothing out of selfish ambition or...

    which abrahamic religion do you like best?

    I know you're a Jehovah's Witness and I'm well aware of the beliefs associated with that religion given I worked with one and discussed his beliefs in depth. I just wanted to clarify that you were, indeed, talking about your religion, because I make it a point to not make assumptions. Piqued...

    which abrahamic religion do you like best?

    “Conspires to kill”? No, I didn’t say that. (Though maybe, at times, some did… how would you characterize the Catholic Spanish Inquisition? It seems its leaders did conspire, don’t you think?) Still, I didn’t say that…. I said a religion — specifically Abrahamic per the OP — that “doesn’t get...

    Ruining Humanity

    No human is joining with Jesus to kill anyone, as far as I know. Jesus doesn’t need any human aid for that; he has “powerful angels” to support him. — 2 Thessalonians 1:7,8. It’s his, and his Father’s, judgement call to make….not any human’s. Christians are required to follow the “Law of the...

    I and the father are one.

    Did you not read the context: 3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.5Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus...

    Does Atheism Lead to Immoral Behavior?

    Wisdom & maturity of the parents, I guess. Today, many aren’t mature when they marry, and don’t take the time to thoroughly get to know their partner. They aren’t “rules” per se; they’re principles, especially helpful for spouses, like “quick to listen, slow to speak & slow to anger” at James...

    Then you should change the teaching.

    You are exactly right! Although, with regard to the Bible, it is a BIG Book, and it has many symbolic statements which can be construed in many different ways. Resulting in multitudinous interpretations! Though IMO, the writers of the Bible were governed by one Author (Jehovah God / Yahweh)...

    What is an authentic Christian?

    You treat them as better than yourself if we are going by the text of Philippians 2:3 which says "nothing according to self-interest or according to vain conceit, but in humility be esteeming one another surpassing themselves," This is actually wins souls very well. Arguments, on the other...

    Why Would Noah's Flood Have Been the Best Way for God to Cleanse the Earth?

    In addition to that being a nonanswer, what makes you think that Abel knows that answer to that? Because that doesn't seem like something that Eve would be proud to tell her children about. But it's okay to cop-out from answering a difficult relgious question that you don't know the answer for...

    Why Would Noah's Flood Have Been the Best Way for God to Cleanse the Earth?

    'If not, why not' is a wonder for sure. When Abel is resurrected we'll have to ask Abel for his thoughts. Satan started out good (James 1:13-15) so what caused Satan to become a Satan, a Devil. Satan wants humans to worship him, Satan developed his own EGO - Philippians 2:3-4; Galatians 5:26...

    The Greatest Commandments

    Look out for one's own life, yes, but remember the words found at Philippians 2:3 to view others as superior to you. - Romans 12:10 Biblical faith is confidence in God's written Word (Bible) and like the Ethiopian official of Acts chapter 8 someone guided him. Philip, who was well versed in...

    Porn Pastor

    Man, you're reasoning is absolutely absurd, how twisted and eisegetical, verging on childish. Do unto others, as you would haver them done unto you - does not mean disregard their desires and act as you feel to act???? It means, don't impose your personal tastes or affections upon others, but...

    Is God Humble?

    Humility is the opposite of pride. These words are not applied in one way, contextualized. For example, pride can be applied in a positive way, base on its usage. Likewise, humility is not applied only in the context of viewing someone as superior to oneself... especially if no one is. Humility...

    Is God Humble?

    In that He came to die for us... does that signify the He considered us more significant? (In the Christian viewpoint)

    Is God Humble?

    1. Philippians 2: 3-11 : Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. So to be humble one must count others as more significant than yourself. Can God count anything as more significant than themselves?

    What is your definition of a Savior?

    Why is it sad to love others more? I only wish I lived up to that much of the time. Philippians 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

    How faith alone changes the word of God

    I'm sure your "confidence" in this is sincere, but I question the source of your confidence. Please support the authenticity of your sources. Anyone can list quotations. That doesn't speak to their correctness. Very nice -- but have you any real, observable, testable evidence to support this?

    How faith alone changes the word of God

    It isn't. I'm in a complex where soliciting and door knocking isn't allowed. We have mostly LDS here though. The problem is once someone says the magic word, smiles, or shows little interest in the bible that's the door to open for scripture quotes and this is what god says. Have you asked...
