I agree that only God knows our "works" anyway. There is a scene in the Godfather (or one the Godfather films, I cannot remember which one) where the "Godfather" is standing in Church all dressed respectively looking pious and humble next to the Priest, while he is at the font of a Baptism. Any...

That's a brilliant answer and thank you so much. What about the mentally ill (are they regarded as "children" who are innocent?) After all there are loads of people with their minds messed up with drugs (prescription drugs even) and cannot see reason what ever you say to them or even remember...

Yes that is exactly my question. I tend to think that we are best to forgive as we do not know all things or the state at anyone's heart on a day to day basis, or even their circumstances. How do we not know that people do secretly repent even if they do not do it openly? We all regret...

Thank you so much for that. You know I do find that if we are willing to listen to everyone, there is always some Gold Nuggets of Truth to be found even if we do not all agree.

Just adding to my last post, in which way was Jesus not correct when he said "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." Heaven and Earth have not passed away so which law do you think Jesus is...

A good answer. Thank you.

Yes of course I realise that my Brother. But they were under the Law of Death as they had no sacrifice for sin? Will not the ministry of the Spirit be more glorious? 2 Corinthians 3:7-11 7Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that...

I think "fear" is there for a reason in life as a warning system. There is a difference between being "fearful" of death than being rightfully fearful in life. Paul wished to be "with Christ" rather than be in the body but knew he had work to do to preach the Gospel. He had no fear of Death as...

The Hebrew meaning or root word of "Love" is "Give". Most people on earth think the meaning of the word "Love" is "Take". So they say they "love" fish for instance. What they really mean is they want to stab a knife in it and eat it. Or they "love" chocolate" because they want to stuff their...

These verses on Abraham and Isaac are always used against Christians on Gods justice. However, they overlook the part that is supposed to be understood. I guess they cannot be bothered to study the Word but this is a trap as if you do seek the answer you do find it. Before Abraham was asked to...

I would like to know what you all think of the subject of Forgiveness. It has been said that you should forgive your brother and even forgive your enemy, also to pray for them and even love them. I agree with all that and understand the "they do not know what they do" scripture. But how is it...

The "Law" or the Ten Commandments were written in stone so that it would be everlasting. However, Moses put the other "laws" in the side of the Ark (not in it) on how to live in that time, meaning sacrifices, penalties, actual ways to behave and live at that time including very exhaustive rules...

Being a Christian does cause division in some families and it maybe that a Father, Mother, Brother or Sister may not like the "truth" that you quote them when you use the Word. This would cause division as Jesus warned. I think when the word "hate" is used, it is not against the person...

Hello everyone. I have only just found this group and am glad to join. After looking for Bible Study groups in England, I have found it hard to meet anyone who actually wants to study the word in depth and if they do, despite good hearts, they skip the most important questions or are unable to...
