    What is the Meaning of This Parable

    It's the Book of James issue, of course. If we SAY we have FAITH, but what you "CALL FAITH" produces nothing in terms of good works, then your "FAITH" isn't "FAITH" at all - it's just religious foolishness which didn't CHANGE YOU, and is worthless in terms of SAVING you. Simple as that.

    Matt 18:9 Was Jesus being literal with this statement?

    Don't be ridiculous!!!!! It's a statement designed to underscore the IMPORTANCE of rendering the "Old Man" ineffective. Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

    Remember the Sabbath

    Actually Born again Christians HAVE KEPT the "Sabbath" since we REST in Jesus, and have ceased from our labors. But the one day out of 7 to rest is also a medical, and mental necessity.

    What % of church goers tithe?

    It's significant, but I see "Tithing" as a guideline, rather than a Legalistic requirement. Operating a Church BUSINESS (which all visible churches are), involves operating cash, and so we support the business.

    Question about women in the church.

    What you need to bear in mind is that the dominant religious system where Timothy was was a "Matriacrhial" system. Paul mentions that ADAM was first, which was at odds with the prevailing "wisdom" that claimed that Eve was first, and was the one with the SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY. The phony Catholic...

    What % of church goers tithe?

    Personally, I don't "Tithe" in the legalistic sense. We (my family) customarily does about 8.5-9% of our GROSS every month specifically to the Church corporation we're members of, but since 'tithing" IS NOT A BIBLICAL IMPERATIVE for New Testament Christians, we don't hold ourselves to that...

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    Then God hasn't called you to be a "Prophet" at all. What makes you thing you are one???? THE POINT IS: "Prophesy" is GOD SPEAKING TO PEOPLE something that HE WANTS THEM TO HEAR. Who are you to judge God's WISDOM, message, or timing????

    What is the point in being a prophet?

    MOST of the "Visible Church" wouldn't even notice.

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    Per Edgar Allen Poe: believe NOTHING that you hear, and only half of what you see. I'm prety sure, given the fallacy of "National / Social Media, he'd say not to believe anything we SEE either. if the election isn't a BLOWOUT, then the "media blood" will run to the horse's bridles. And it...

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    I agree. the SWAMP won't give up, and the "Struggle" will continue. whether the U.S. survives in it's present form is in question. I won't get to see it, but my great Grand children may.

    Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

    BINGO!!! the "Peer pressure factor" - real or imagined!!! But the likely outcome - IF the election isn't a "Blowout", will be endless media wrangling, Total confusion (I personally HAVE NO CONFIDENCE in the integrity of the upcoming election), and Violence - If the Swamp (Democrats) loses...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    CHuckle!! What was your first clue???? "SIN" really isn't on the table. Job had two SPECIFIC areas in his life that God wanted to correct, because they were holding Job back from a better understanding / trusting of God. Why did Job think it was a good idea to "Offer sacrifices" for his...

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    That's the reason that God kicked off the process - to bring to light those issues so that Job could respond appropriately (Job 42:6 ). It's ALL about the redemptive process. REMEMBER - Job as an OLD TESTAMENT SAINT didn't have the indwelling Holy Spirit as we do in 2024. (John 14:17)

    The book of Job, my favorite book.

    And God shows him in the only way possible. Problem solved.

    What clear evidence in the OT that Jesus will be resurrected?

    That's your FIRST Mistake. Paul didn't "Debate" with the LOST. He simply presented Jesus, and Him Crucified, and let the Holy Spirit take it from there to provide "CONVICTION OF SIN" which is the beginning of faith. No "Conviction" = no conversion. ISLAM (like any successful HERESY/CULT) has...

    There will be no Rapture!!!

    Unless there IS ONE!!!! "Eschatology" = Rank Speculation. Nothing more.
