    Help me to believe

    God is spirit, and we are flesh in a material world. We have to understand the spiritual behind the flesh we see. I find the study of the OT so helpful--the rituals it tells of are ways the flesh explain the spiritual if we look for them. God had man put the blood of the lamb on the doorpost...

    Where was Jesus for the three days between his death and resurrection?

    All scripture is true, we must only understand. Scripture tells us in Matthew of the NT that the saints will awaken from their sleep and be alive, then they will see Him. You have only to read scripture and understand.

    TIMING OF CREATION

    There is a belief that all scripture can be read as literal, also spiritual, and also has a deeper spiritual meaning. God is truth, God is spirit, and God 's ways are so mysterious to us we don't understand their depth.

    Romans 10:13

    Saved people are saved through the relationship they have with God, they have put their love and trust in the Father's ways and all the Father is. It is like a good relationship with a good, loving earthly Father. A good earthly Father does his best to lead a child into a good life, so does...

    Where was Jesus for the three days between his death and resurrection?

    There is no OT scripture telling us that man is alive after our earthly death, it only speaks of earthly death as sleeping. The first that we are told that we live after earthly death is in Matthew 27:51 " Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth...

    Swift To Hear, Slow To Speak, Slow To Wrath

    The world is chuck-a-block with self-help books that cover everything, There is no advise that any of them gives that comes even close to the bible as a guide to health, happiness, success, or contentment. It even guides us to eternal life. guides us to eternal life. It makes a person...

    Can Believers be possessed by demons

    The only way to become demon possessed is to accept sin in your life without repentance. However, sickness in the world has its roots in sin in the world. This sickness can strike anyone, but there is health in following the way God leads us. If we keep to food that is not basically hanged...

    No man knows the day or hour

    Christ did not wipe out anything the OT tells us, Christ fulfilled it. Christ tells us so in Matthews 5:17: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. The rest of that chapter tells just how that works. In the OT...

    Fasting

    Old and New Testament tells us about fasting, it is a time of living in the kingdom of heaven all we can and denying the kingdom of the flesh. Just as the Lord does not look at our works to decide about our salvation, The Lord does not base our salvation on our decision to fast or not, but as...

    An Anxiety and worried Mind

    It seems to me that Christians should know what research of our world and health is finding out. It can add to our understanding of God's word, but ONLY if we accept that God created us and God's word is truth, science makes mistakes but God does not. I have been reading about research done...

    An Anxiety and worried Mind

    I am learning that anxiety, stress, and worry shows up in a tense, unhealthy body, they go hand in hand. Also, a relaxed body, like a trusting relaxed mind, is in perfect balance. The Lord's word that we follow not only leads us to eternal life, but leads us to peace and contentment in this life.

    Is continued ongoing emotional trauma proof of unforgiveness?

    Sometimes science looks at how God created our world and shows us the logistics of how a principle works. This is true of brain imaging. Science can now take pictures of how our brain works under different conditions. The abuse of one person of another causes harm that can be pictured with...

    God made something beautiful when he made you and I.

    Thank you for this post. So many of us grew up with people telling us we lack so many things, some of us live with the tension of ridicule spoiling our walk with the Lord. May we all live our life following the Holy Spirit within us that God has given us, with freedom, joy, and thankfulness.

    Is sickness a blessing?

    It has been proven. I am speaking as the 97 year old, healthy woman I am. Prove it for yourself. Use your imagination to bring up someone you resent, who you haven't been able to forgive, now how are you feeling? Are you relaxed? Imagine holding your body this way all day. Now think of...

    Reading the bible literally or figuratively... that is the question

    Silly girl!! How can something be formless and void if it isn't there? I have you on ignore, but this one is too much.

    Reading the bible literally or figuratively... that is the question

    I do not think that you can know all my mind based on my belief that God gives his word both with literal and spiritual facts at the same time. As for creating the world in six days, Genesis 1:2 tells us there wa something here before that first day, it was formless and empty.

    Is sickness a blessing?

    Science is working on proving that tension (the lack of faith) is the cause of most sickness. Just holding our body tense as we react to life in unchristian ways can cause such as migraine and stomach ulcers. We have Christ within, and we fill our mind with the word. The word leads to...

    Would a protestant benefit from reading other denominations?

    I am reading some secular books that I am finding helpful when I relate what they say to what scripture teaches. I think that it is true of anything we put in our minds, that we feed our minds, must agree with scripture. I am reading Dc. Mike Dow, Daniel Amen, and "The Alexander Technique"...

    Is sickness a blessing?

    God created us, and God is truth. Science tries to discover the truth of God, and sometimes they get it right. Science has proven that when we put the truth and beauty of scripture into our brains, it promotes healing in the body. Science has also proven that keeping our muscles tense as a...
