    Why does god have a weird way of communicating?

    People reading things in the Bible talk about God's justice. But what does God's justice mean without fairness from God? What consequences come from God ultimately will be fair. None of that is yet desirable to any. We have all been hurtful to some others, with our sinful life, being contrary to...

    Why does god have a weird way of communicating?

    God's way to communicate the revelation from God is effective to individuals that another way would not have been. So some things that seem unusual or even "weird" as expression to use to some of us still was needed for others. We can trust God with that, as God is not willing that any just...

    Demons

    If we are really faithful we can have victory and the enemy would not succeed with us. So we should be focused on God, rather than the enemy, for that. And God's Spirit with us is assurance for that.

    everything is predestined?

    We have our choices, and responsibility with those. Peter had responsibility, even believing so, that he said what he would do that very night, when Jesus would be taken, contrary to what Jesus said would happen, but while Peter could have done differently, Jesus said it because Peter wasn't...

    Imputed Righteousness???

    I looked up where imputed is said in the Bible. I found one place in the Bible with that word. It is Leviticus 17:4. I am familiar with the concept of imputed righteousness in Christianity. But as being imputed with Christ's righteousness is not specifically said in the Bible, I see why I have...

    What is a church?

    What the bride of Christ depicted in prophecy will be is the whole unity of the real redeemed believers who are brought to the restored creation in which all of the creation that were groaning for it will have their hope fulfilled there. This whole unity of real redeemed believers there ever...

    Do those condemned to hell suffer forever?

    What is hell? Does anyone know? What we have shown in biblical passages is imagery as what hell is would only be depicted symbolically, it is with what is outside of our experience. God is fair, that does not mean any of us will be rewarded for doing things we should be doing, that is not good...

    Matthew 24:40 Is the rapture secret?

    I will not argue about the rapture. There are passages we know of that support a position on that. But focus on it has such who speak of it distracted from other things including things said in the Bible such as other coming things, and our responsibilities. There is the call to God's people...

    Urgent: Mom Might Not Make It 🥺

    We should know God put in place the provisions we need, we sometimes have to act on doing what is needed for those, with it revealed somewhere or in some way how to do so.

    The Real Antichrist For The End

    The one prophesied to come with description as a great beast will come after there is collapse, which is coming, which with promises from that one will be the way that all the world will follow him, other than few willing to give up their lives in this world for the sake of faithfulness to God...

    Do we have a complete, perfect, and sufficient Bible?

    There is nothing that establishes the Textus Receptus as the one authorative set of passages to the exclusion of the other ancient manuscripts, and there are many points of disagreement, it is unsupported faith that the King James Version Bible is the one correct translation and others are wrong...

    The church, Paul agrees, Post Tribulation.

    I am guessing there is no one looking at Isaiah 24 and seeing the connection, there was not any response to my suggesting it anyway. Regardless of what is concluded about the timing of prophesied tribulation, I see connection of the fall of Mystery Babylon with prophecy of collapse of all the...

    Urgent: Mom Might Not Make It 🥺

    I have the understanding that God is just and fair, without compromise. God is merciful and gracious, and the way of God's redemption is available, with what the promised one, Christ, bore for any that meets that uncompromised fair justice, such that they come to him. They who do remain with God...

    Star Trek Thread

    I do not know where that came from. God shows grace, and with not just willingness for any to perish, all might see evidence showing that God is there, to whom we should respond. With any response, there is much more response from God, who shows what is needed. There can be the gospel that some...

    The Teachings of Jesus (TOJ)

    Righteousness, which we have from Christ, is with love for others, which is demonstrated. Jesus Christ showed the example for this, and taught for this, and the fruits of the Spirit for believers to grow in really includes this. About the end and catastrophes, civilization will collapse, Jesus...
