What would rapture from this world be for? It would not be for removing us from troubles here. There were and will be troubles in the world that believers have to go through, and there is not always deliverance from the jaws of the lions. There can be the cost to come with testimony to the...
There are remaining mysteries with faith we come to, and not everything we want to know is answered with it. There is not more needed with what is necessary to our faith that is essential to our salvation from God through Christ. There can be unity to some extent among those with this...
Is it thought that there will not be struggles in life? There will be, and God will use these. It is still best to seek God's will, to do accordingly, not just what your church teaches for it, or something else. Start with the Bible, where it does.
God truly does hate the destruction to this earth of God's creation and that God owns, and we have not done more than fail at the stewardship we were supposed to have, to be in God's image. Nothing is meant that I could say is not canonical, or even heretical. Some of what I can say would have...
Do you see Revelation 11:18? Do you see the commission to humans in Genesis 1? Do you see Isaiah 24? The earth still belongs to God. There is failure of the needed stewardship to the earth. Surely God would have what is destroying the earth, God's creation, come to an end, it will easily...
I agree that this or any eschatological view would not be heretical or in itself contrary in any way to the gospel or any of what is essential in Christianity. I am very sure of my own view, it does not agree with others from whom I have heard, while we are Christians.
Why be hostile in the reply? If I could read those? Like I don't read parts of the Bible? And specifically to the subject matter referred to?
Yes, I have read those, many times. I will tell you, I have noted what others say about the passages, in church and in any of many Christian materials...
Sorry I did not answer this previously, if you are going to still come to this forum site. There are cats that need to be rescued, and this is a good thing to do. Being involved in any way with the huge cat breeding business is really questionable though, and the huge number of cats from that do...
There are different understandings for what Mystery Babylon is meaning. I see no reason that understanding it to mean all civilization should be excluded.
I stopped going in person to a church when it and others closed with COVID being an issue. I have vulnerability I am aware of and did not want to go where there are people together as a crowd since. There us online fellowship and services available, as I found.
When becoming a believer apart...
Jazzy does not seem to still be around, but maybe was interested without knowing anything to contribute. My response still would not go off from the topic, I think it should be basic to believers' thinking.
There is science said in the name theology. But the scientific method involves rigorous approach with notations and repeatable experimentation that other scientists can do as well. Theology itself does not have that. Faith must be involved if it is Christian, but that is not something working in...
There should be growth included, spiritual growth. Modern teaching of Christianity seems to often neglect that. Sorry I did not think of a term starting with L for that. There is godliness to be desired, if we come to that as we should, the fruit of God's Spirit is essential for this, and...
I do not expect agreement from here on anything I will name for such, and I am not here to debate things I see for such. But there could be agreement there are some things Christians miss because of their beliefs. There are disagreements among Christians. So at least some are missing some...
Science is science, with its definition. Theology is not science as such. It would have logic if we used logic with it, it is at least philosophy that I am sure has more basis than other philosophies any use in their approach to anything. Some oppose Christian theology still.
Oh well, I would have engaged. Christianity has truth, many Christians do still miss some things that are true because of what there is they already believe, but being mistaken in something too. It can happen with me though I am careful.
Frankly, our government now is not like anything the founding fathers of the United States would ever envision from the consensus to the Constitution with the Bill of Rights in place. There was so much written in it to avoid a lot of what came about with government since then, and claimed...
It is not that I would walk away from Christianity. But I have the experience of being so discouraged before, with tremendously great loss, and, I am yet aware of weakness in areas of Christian faith, not that Christian faith is wrong, it has strong evidences for it. But, if I ever did think...
There are cults in different ways. We learn things when young. We question some things, but there are a lit of things not questioned. This is especially when those we see all do likewise. Like politics, and even patriotism.
