    Free from the Law, oh blessed condition! I can sin as I please and still have remission.

    My suggestions to you: 1) Keep looking for churches that call you to an ever-deeper relationship with Jesus instead of to regulations of God. 2) Find one with small, Bible-discussion, support groups, one of which you can join for real fellowship with real Christians who support one another...

    Limited Revealation

    Let's just face it, folks. There are mysteries about God that the Bible does not solve: Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my...

    How easy is it to pray for someone you can't stand?

    First, I would pray for them. Second, I would answer their hatred with calm, rational explanations of their concerns. Then, the ball is in their court, and they will answer to God for their responses. I would leave it in his hands then.

    God came to earth in the form of man

    People who claim to believe in God often depend on their reasoning powers instead of on the Bible to guide their thoughts, sadly.

    Limited Revealation

    A child of wrath is under God the Father's guilty verdict as everyone's divine Judge and Creator. It is his wrath against sin that brings such a verdict on the human race because of Adam's sinful rebellion, which we all engage in until Jesus rescues us.

    Limited Revealation

    How do you know that babies aren't sinful? Our four babies were all born self-centered by wanting to be the center of adults' attention, and self-centeredness is the Bible's definition of sin, I believe.

    Limited Revealation

    Because unbelievers will often ridicule any mention of mysteries, and then believers who are listening might get distracted, I think.

    The creation of Adam and Eve

    Your question has no answer other than that God chose to do it that way.

    Growing...

    I have read the whole Bible from beginning to end many times and find it more desirable each time. It gives me the big picture of God's relationship with his creation and church.

    creation story

    I heard once that we should go as far as the Bible goes and then stop. I have a lot of questions when I meet Jesus, but I don't think that I will want to ask them in his powerful presence.

    First the Prohibition, Then the Go Ahead

    First, the external forms of the Old Testament laws have been taken away through Jesus' death. Second, Jesus' seven "I am" claims in the Gospel of John say he is God and are figurative metaphors or comparisons pointing to real spiritual reality. For example, in the John 6 passage, he says that...

    The curtain of the temple

    Sure, God opened the way through Jesus' death for us to approach him freely, humbly, and boldly, especially through our prayers.

    The existence of evil or suffering

    I go by what the Bible says. God is great and good with freedom from imperfections, while at the same time, evil is the responsibility of humans and the evil forces who have rebelled against God. The Bible has mysteries that the human mind can't penetrate. How do you approach that question?

    Free from the Law, oh blessed condition! I can sin as I please and still have remission.

    Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? Rom 6:2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? We are free from our divine Judge's verdict of guilty that Jesus took upon himself on the cross. when we become Christians, not from sins, and...

    Prayer practises.

    To whom and through whom do you pray? Is it to Mary or the saints. The answer makes all the difference because Jesus instructed us in his Sermon on the Mount to pray to the Father.

    Does God control

    God made you and all other humans fully dependent on him as his creatures BUT ALSO relatively independent from him as a human. That means that God has a plan for your life but also that you are fully responsible for all that you think and do in your life. You are not a robot, and God is your...

    Living Water

    No, the Old Testament does not pass judgment on whether or not the judges, for example, were born-again, but the Holy Spirit came upon them to enable them to do certain tasks for God. If you're born-again as an Old or New Testament person, you will never lose that new birth. Jesus makes that...

    All of God's will as it is revealed in the Bible is the sum of Christian ethics.
