    Jo's friendship corner. Everyone welcome

    I have back trouble, in the lower part, with a herniated disc and scoliosis going up from there. It gives a lot of trouble to sitting comfortably though I walk fine, really, but it does not worry me so much as what will become of my breathing with COPD, though I was never a smoker to have it...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    It does not matter if any understand sequence of what happens or happened when they came to be believers. Repentance and faith are yet necessary, while everything from us involved is response to Yahweh through whose grace initiates things with us. It is not about repenting first, but the only...

    Josiah

    The creation of this world then happened in the week of creation more than half a dozen thousand years ago, with the light and all the llife made for this world then, but the unformed chaos was here already well before that, from the start of God's creation. Life when it was created here was...

    Is infant baptism from the Bible?

    There is responsibility of all to choose, they need to respond with repentance and come to faith for salvation which Christ makes possible. God gives salvation, from God's own work, on such basis. You need to read a lot into Acts 16:30-33 without any basis from any scriptures to conclude that...

    Judgement upon a new moon

    Genesis 2:2-3 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done. Exodus 20:11 In six days Yahweh...

    Gay children are 'children of God', Pope tells parents

    I think distinction is generally neglected between those who are with attraction they have to others who are of the same sex and those who specifically live it out and act on it with sexual involvement. Those who don't can't be said to be going against God's will with just how they are. Jesus...

    Judgement upon a new moon

    Only every seven days, regardless of moon phases, determines Sabbath, as all Jews observe it. If someone becomes disoriented that won't affect all others who remember observing every seventh day, the same day, for Sabbath.

    Bullying - A Necessary Evil? Part of natural selection?

    Bullies that are not dealt with effectively become individuals who still will assault others. There certainly are such. I was assaulted not long ago myself, in the daylight not provoking anyone, just crossing the street at an intersection while carrying a bag of what I had just bought, and this...

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    I think 1 Maccabees is very informative of that time in history for where the people of Israel, now Jews, were. But not everything being very informative is considered as inspired holy scriptures. Why should it be considered so? That is what should be asked. We might ask for the prophetic or...

    WORTHY

    Believers are such coming to Christ with having repentance. The Bible shows it is Yahweh God whose work saves believers. The Bible is not being contradictory. Works spoken of, which do not save any, mean something in the Bible, but it is not about repentance. Yahweh whose work saves chooses...

    WORTHY

    Repentance does not mean confession, I don't say anything meaning it does. Where we do confess sins it should be with repentance, still, or the confession is quite meaningless, except for retribution to come. Repentance is for motivation to turn from where we went wrong, to not go on with sins...

    WORTHY

    There are many who will say Jesus is their Lord. Those who follow Jesus to live in the way he was showing do have Jesus as their Lord, for it involves doing that. Do we have a fallen nature that interferes with that? In this world yes we do. We need the help of Yahweh God. With us coming to...

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    I find 1 Maccabees is of interest and worthy of looking at in my estimation, though it is not from inspiration of Yahweh to be included in the Bible. It fills in important history within the inter-testament times well that helps a reader to understand more for how the time covered in the new...

    Live as well in Yahweh's will for you as you can. Your heavenly Father is perfect, believers are to keep that in mind as they go on.

    Pro-life

    Bringing safety to babies to be born still is important, God, the Creator, values all life as the Creator of all life. We should have that in focus, yet we don't have a really good effective approach. We can have adoption services and a network more available. We can have counseling more...

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    There was. Jael, Heber's wife, who struck a tent peg through the head of Sisera the enemy of the people of Israel as he lay in her tent, away from any witnesses too. Judges 4:21. Indeed, I don't think God in perfection of God would condone lying. God can work to keep things unknown. Most things...

    O.T. quotes in the N.T.

    The name of Yahweh is holy. All of what is holy is desirable for any of us who are believers and are in Christ, none of it is for not remembering. The new testament of the Bible is not contrary the rest of the scriptures, it would be consistent. Traditions contrary to any of it are not right...

    O.T. quotes in the N.T.

    With a believer reading the Bible and believing what is read, being in Christ and praying, most things from it would be understood rightly. There should be other believers who also read the Bible around, and more could be understood from them, but really, having Jesus is needed and hearing from...

    O.T. quotes in the N.T.

    I know that the original writing of the Hebrew scriptures were filled with the revealed name of God, that we render 'Yahweh', the name that is to be remembered. The King James Version, as most other versions, differs from those writings with "the LORD" put in place of that name in most passages...
