    The Pre-Advent Investigative Judgment

    The speaker takes several verses without referring to their contexts, @Webster. Such is a dangerous way to interpret the Bible. The contexts (surrounding chapters, books, and the Bible) determine any verses' meanings. I see no biblical evidence that there is such an investigative judgment before...

    The basics of Christian theology

    @FredVB, I think that the reason we Christians don't hear much about spiritual growth nowadays is that it involves change in our lives. A great many Christians want comfortable Christianity instead of uncomfortable, changing growth. Sadly, pastors give people what they want instead of boldly...

    Discussions on the Sabbath & Resting in Jesus

    @jswauto, do you still follow the food laws, circumcision, the Old Testament holy days, and bloody animal sacrifices? My point is that the outward forms of the laws have changed, because Jesus nailed them to the cross, as the Apostle Paul says, Col 2:11 In him also you were circumcised with a...

    What kind of life would you be living, if you weren't Christian?

    I would have led the same lifestyle, because I was a genuine Pharisee until I was 16 before God rescued me from that empty, lonely life.

    Addictions

    @Can't think of a name, what kind of an experience do you want from God? I have had many experiences of God's answers to my prayers and have seen his uses of experiences to guide me. Are those the kinds of experiences you want, or what? If you're interested, you can read the book What God Has...

    are you a member of the resistance ?

    And where do you find this idea in the Bible @Holy999?

    Addictions

    @Can't think of a name, if you had an "experience of peace and felt his holiness and majesty," you HAVE experienced "some feeling of love from Christ." Why? God is three Persons in ONE God, including Jesus Christ as the second one. All blessings come from the Father through Christ by the...

    When The penny drops.

    Yes, I've seen them play Calvin University, my alma mater, in basketball. I've heard good things about Hillsdale.

    Colossians and the Gospel

    @Him, you seem to have quoted or paraphrased the first two chapters of Colossians. What version did you use? The KJV? And what point or question do you want to make about it? The next two chapters supply many of Paul's commands about the truths of the chapters you quoted. What is their relationship?

    You will know them by their fruits

    "Fruits" also include words as well as actions. When we compare their words with the Bible's teachings, we can determine whether they are true to it or not!

    Discussions on the Sabbath & Resting in Jesus

    The early church could have chosen any day, perhaps Wednesday or Thursday, to worship and rest under the NEW covenant, as instituted by Jesus, who says as much at his Last Supper (Luke 22:20). Luk 22:20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is...

    Sunday Worship vs. the Biblical Sabbath

    Are you still killing people when they break the Sabbath rules @Frankj? Of course not. The NEW covenant, which Jesus instituted in Luke's account of the Last Supper, replaces Passover with the Lord's Supper and circumcision with baptism. However, the inner principles of one day in seven, rest...

    Addictions

    You are misinterpreting my statement by reading into it meaning that isn't there, @Can't think of a name. I'm saying that if you ONLY depend on feelings to experience God, you will miss his revealing himself through your thinking and will in ADDITION to your feelings. God saved me primarily...

    A personal prayer request

    Please pray for me. I'm experiencing a major physical pain attack. I've had chronic pain for 39 years; it has been my "thorn in the flesh" like Paul's in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, while I was a pastor and now while I'm a published author. The intense pain I have now is the worst it's been in all...

    When The penny drops.

    Our church is very informal and contemporary with a praise band singing biblical songs, prayers, and a 30-minute sermon following a Bible text closely. It is a huge church for our West Michigan Bible Belt that is based on small groups that discuss the most-recent sermon and pray for each other's...

    I would assume that 90% of your childhood embarrasment is made by evil forces

    Yeah, I had a dysfunctional family while growing up and was very lonely until Jesus filled up that void when I was 16. Then, he began to change my life to conform to God's will. He's still at work in the same way now at my age of 83!

    Addictions

    @Can't think of a name, why do you have to "feel" God's presence? If we depend on God to affect our emotions every time, we may be missing out when he wants to improve our reasoning or decision-making, which don't really have much to do with our feelings.

    Discussions on the Sabbath & Resting in Jesus

    @grumix8, one of the mistakes Bible interpreters make is to argue from the silence of Scripture. What it doesn't say in any verse fails to make the point that the Bible's whole teaching (about the differences between the old and new covenants, for example) may give us the Bible's principles for...
