    Are Christians given empowerment to do all the works Jesus did? Bethel and their resurrection claims

    I think it definitely has to do with the faith of the person asking for the miracle. That was evident in all the healings that Jesus did. I have been to these faith healings many times. I am concerned that they are teaching people that they have the power to heal instead of the sick having...

    Are Christians given empowerment to do all the works Jesus did? Bethel and their resurrection claims

    Had that happen to me in a Charismatic Church in Vancouver Canada back in the 80's. I was praying for a child. Everyone said I was healed. When I didn't get pregnant they blamed it on my faith and I fell away from the Lord. Eventually, years later after the doctor told me that I would never...

    Are Christians given empowerment to do all the works Jesus did? Bethel and their resurrection claims

    Interesting. I hadn't heard of their claims to have resurrected 15 people. I left a church that was associated with Bethel. I believe in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit but I don't believe in some of the things they do. Bad experience and I am going to refrain from getting into detail but I...

    Fact Checking LBGTQ+

    Hi, I am glad that you are posting. I hope that you don't take my comments negatively. I have a brother who is "gay". I love him unconditionally. Jesus loves you unconditionally too. I am sure that there have been many mistakes in the church concerning homosexuality but what isn't a mistake...

    Fact Checking LBGTQ+

    Excellent response. If they wanted to know the origin of sin they should go back to Genesis and Eve. Homosexuality is not different than any predisposition to sin. The devil knows our weaknesses and he tempts us. No different than the way he worked Eve in the Garden of Eden. Her weakness...

    Yes, me too, very limited on oils. I have had a couple successes. But watercolor is fun. I like the water color pencils too.

    Featured Editorial in Christianity Today says: "Trump Should Be Removed from Office"

    I think that is a great response. The reason that I don't agree with removing the Johnson Act. Because you cannot have politics in church without offending people. Christians. I believe that the basis for voting is Gods Word and if the Word of God is being preached in church, and Christians...

    Featured Editorial in Christianity Today says: "Trump Should Be Removed from Office"

    I appreciate the Christianity Today article. Although I realized that the left is dangerous to this country something possibly worse is happening. Total submission to politics and the President. Dividing families and even Christians over politics. Its so dangerous. I did not support Donald...

    Hello

    Hello, I am new to Christian Chat. I chose the name livingstones from one of my favorite Bible verses. 1 Peter:2:4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by people but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy...
