Angels are God's creations, so they don't need any explanations. There must be a good reason that God doesn't save everyone, but he has chosen not to reveal it to us.

All other "sons" and "daughters" of God are adopted children; Jesus is the only eternal Son of God from the past, present, and into the future. The KJV mistook two, almost-identical participles for each other by translating one "begotten," whereas the proper translation is "eternal" or "unique"...

One of those lies is that they are born that way. I think that they choose those lifestyles at points early in their lives when they can't now remember those decisions largely because of traumatic events.

Hey, God has used several medications to prevent diseases in my life so that God can use me in a variety of ways at the age of 82.

The deputy served a warrant he had for crimes the medicine man had committed. He stood trial, but the historical record doesn't have anything to say about the medicine man after that. You have to understand that this happened in late-1800s eastern Oklahoma (lawless Indian Territory), and my...

By praying for it and noticing the medicine man's inner pocket that contained his conjur bag. He threw it into a nearby stream and immediately began to regain his strength.

I ran across a true, historical incident during which the historical deputy marshal of my book The Wild West's Best (Amazon) has an American Indian medicine man casting a spell on the deputy marshal and God's deliverance.

Exactly, @tango! To seek his kingdom as his subjects means to obey more and more the King's words and ways, that is, Jesus' commands, as he said we can by the Spirit's power through Jesus' resurrection (Colossians 3:1). Joh 15:8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so...

I have experienced four kinds of answers to prayers that I have had in my 82 years of life: yes, no, not yet, and not the way you thought it would happen. After all, God is God, and we're not.

It may be clear to you, @Edward429451, because you have a certain mental framework which you fit everything into, but I don't see that it's that way. After all, we'll all find out when it happens.

I have read all of it, and I think that you are reading into verses 32 and following meaning that isn't there. All of the chapter combines Jesus' prophecies about the destruction of Jerusalem and his one second coming.

These verses are inspired Paul's goals or commands for our Christian lives, @Manonfire63, toward which the Holy Spirit gives us power to pursue. However, we need to obey too in the power of Jesus' resurrection (Colossians 3:1).

There is no place in 1 Corinthians 15 where the rapture is described; you are reading the rapture into that chapter. It's not there; it's about our future bodily resurrection, not the rapture.

I'm certainly not part of any cult; I freely want to follow Jesus.

You are right, @brightfame52, but THAT chapter is about our future bodily resurrection.

We're on the same spiritual wavelength, @Truth7t7.

Does your liturgy also have a prayer for renewal, @Lamb?

@Edward429451, where do you find us being changed "in the twinkling of an eye" to be raptured? And where do you find the nations being healed by the leaves of the tree, as an entirely different class of people? And where do you see the healing of the nations in heaven? How is it that we don't...

First Corinthians 15:36 is about our future bodily resurrection, not our present salvation, according to the context: 1Co 15:35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” 1Co 15:36 You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it...

You're assuming that the born-again man can take "no actions in the flesh." The Holy Spirit enters such a person and begins to influence him to follow Jesus. He will grow to be more and more obedient, all by God's great grace too. They never go completely AWOL without God's influence returning...
