    How has church changed for you since this pandemic started?

    It changed things for me, with no in person services for the last few Sundays. My church was a Baptist church when I started there, it has more recently taken a new name and dropped all reference to being Baptist. There are other issues with churches. Even though there are online services, I...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    If one IS saved, one IS always saved, and always will be. Otherwise being saved doesn't mean anything at all. Being saved is being secure in Christ, no one can grasp us out of God's hand, we are assured of eternal life already, the eternal life is an existing thing, it never stops existing, so...

    Red Letter Christians

    Jesus is the Word of God, so, Jesus is the Authority of God. All the Bible scriptures are inspired by God, they were written by the chosen men who were inspired to communicate what was truly from God, those as written are not then in error, though minor error has been found in copies made, and...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    You have said it according to what I saw for myself. Eternal security is being always saved when already once saved. They are the same thing, to say otherwise is meaningless distinction for it. You use the term Law like have not seen others use it. 2 Peter 3:9 shows Yahweh God is not willing...

    God still chooses.

    God is good, and because God is good, God is just, God is loving, God is caring, God is merciful, and God is gracious. All that God is, is without limit. God is never unfair. But what you believe is not fair. God has basis, and God says in revelation what is needed from us..

    Christian web directory

    It is still an English language site, right? I hope that will have success for Christian believers to have communication in fellowship there. I use Christian sites I have started, and a group I have started, for such communication, it is not easy to have them grow for that.

    God still chooses.

    If there was nothing but arbitrary whims for basis of who God chooses, letting others perish in eternity, God would not be good, but God is good.

    God still chooses.

    Does God choose without basis? Is there not basis God does have for who God chooses? And why does God require of us that we choose? Does God require something that is meaningless? God does want all to be saved, God is not willing that any perish but that all come to repentance, that they will...

    God still chooses.

    Throughout the life of any believer who is in Christ, there are necessarily the times that forgiveness is asked for, and this is with repentance, which is needed. But with really being such believer who is in Christ, there is repentance at the start in coming to Christ from life of sin, which...

    Sitting long hours is an issue?

    My issues that affect me are why I just do what I can at home. So it is that I am a writer, and do all my writing from here. I go out for some things, that cannot be avoided, but I will avoid what is certain to make me really worse. I am thankful to God to know what things I can do for being...

    Sitting long hours is an issue?

    I had back pain, and found out about the scoliosis I have. I still had work since then that involved lifting and carrying fairly heavy things. I still wore a back brace safety belt, and I was thinking I would be alright. But now I feel the effect on my back much more, this much later in life. I...

    Sitting long hours is an issue?

    I can see how work that almost all of us find does not seem made well for human beings to do. Many of us have chores or needed postures that are really damaging to our health and wellbeing. Carrying things kind of heavy at some work I had would not have been good for my crooked spine...

    God still chooses.

    Right, I do mean repentance this way. Still, repentance is not a one time event, such that there are those thinking that believers can fall away from faith and so would lose salvation, while really believers do remain forgiven. Real repentance which God means in the Bible is a change itself, to...

    Mary - The Mother of Our Lord

    Original sin is a term alien to the Bible. It can be misleading, but it could correspond to the correct understanding that since the fall of humanity in the beginning, all human beings come into the world with a fallen nature, a nature to sin against the will of God for us. The incarnation of...

    God still chooses.

    Repentance is an essential thing, with which there is coming to Christ in faith for salvation and through him being restored to Yahweh God. There are such who just come to superficial faith, that is confessed, without the repentance, who then would be ones Christ would say, "I never knew you"...

    God still chooses.

    Context is really always needed for interpreting any meaning of passages, certainly when doctrine would be made of it. This applies to 2 Peter 3:9. Though the context involves other things, the context has nothing at all to define the passage not meaning it is of all people, and that it does...

    Mary - The Mother of Our Lord

    I don't know anyone, and it really would not be me, that would suggest that Mary Jesus' mother was forgettable, unwilling, or simply a baby factory, such as pro-abortion people like to say pro-life people have as a view of pregnant women, nor are any ignoring her. Saying she was not continually...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    If humanity remained sinless from creation, which God provided the opportunity for, Jesus Christ the Son of God, the incarnation of the Word (Logos) with God who is God, though as it is came to humanity always without sin, and lived a sinless life, died sinless, and rose again, would stil come...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    Bible passages about repentance and salvation address these things only for human people, who are all a fallen race. These are not addressed to animals nor to angels. Animals do not have capacity for moral choices human people do, and are innocent of sins that we have. They suffer in this world...

    The Simple Original Apostolic Gospel

    That creation came from God the Creator with perfect design has bearing on our need for a model of living. It was the way things were meant to last, though God was not surprised and took the fall of humanity into sin and the resulting growing curse into account with the plan for redemption with...
