We are in total disagreement, you seem to take a worldly view rather than a spiritual one that relies upon understanding words of a scripture but fails tp understand the scripture itself. I do not compromise my beliefs even if it means being homeless and hungry, but the last time I put my trust...

Well, there is certainly a visible difference in religions such as Islam, to the extent that you virtually never have to wonder what the difference between a Muslim lifestyle and a secular one is. Maybe that's one of the reasons they are the fastest growing religion in the world with a...

You're just being contentious, lets talk about something practical. When you, say, look for a job and are given a terrific offer from a company that you know supports causes that violate Christian principles do you take the offer or turn it down and take a much lower paying job at a different...

Truthfully, it is the only religion that is base on the Grace of God for salvation, not on works that are done to earn it or make themselves worthy of it. But I constantly wonder about something else, what makes Christians stand out from members of other religions or the secular world around...

Are you meaning that sin does not apply to those who are saved?

Objectively would require a legalistic standard, and that is more of a balance sheet sort of thing (which can be useful) than an understanding in your heart, which is subjective by nature, and is where the Holy Spirit will be found. One would think that strict adherence to all Biblical laws and...

How would this differ from Nicolaitan thought? I think I'm not fully understanding your meaning.

I'll answer that later, I seemed to have developed a problem with my browser or the site since I cannot format at all and that makes my post one giant paragraph which is difficult (at best) to understand

Something all should consider: Worldly wisdom is not Godly wisdom, one will lead you on the narrow road and the other will lead you astray from it.

An interesting post, could you expand on it?

In today's world I wouldn't.

It would be an interesting to discuss Jesus speaking of the wide and narrow gate and the roads leading to them, particularly in relation to the numbers that follow each and how to know the difference if we are on the wrong one without knowing it. I sort of suspect that many or maybe even most...

You may be right about this, but let me ask: If we are to be both males and females in heaven, and the obvious purpose of that is reproduction, what will be the nature of our sexual relations in heaven? When I see 'as the angels. I also look for anything in the Bible that indicates the Angels...

So, if I' understand your position correctly, you're right just because you are right and myself and anyone that questions that for any reason is wrong just because you're right and should not be questioned? That's the way it is coming through to me, if that isn't what you intended to present...

That's actually a good question, Jesus told us that we will be like the Angels which implies not male and female but non sexual at all which seems to indicate we will be very different than we are corporeally. Consider: The first thing known about a new arrival (a person being born) is its sex...

You seem to be unable to discuss your positions without condemning any questioning of it. Why do you do it this way when it just sets your statements up to be rejected instead of considered and discussed? FWIW, I've led a very different and very prodigal life than most which gives me many...

You answered that without telling me what YOU would do if you were in their situation (which is a very real one. So what would that be in real activity, not an imaginary one. "Integrating one's code of morality into daily life, or the failure to do so, is an intellectual exercise." suggests...

The way to pray effectively, ask for something, knowing that God has answered out prayer look around for where it is, then put it into action to make it real in the world and your life. Consider how this was demonstrated for us when Jesus fed a very large crowd with only a small amount of food...

When I started noticing how much younger everyone around me was no matter where I was. That was the latter 70's for me.

I think we all do at one time or another. An example would be something like praying for something we want in a manner that we pray for something different in hope that we will really get what we want on the sly, or praying to a Saint hoping he will help us sneak something in on God by stealth...
