Well here you are assuming millions of years are true. I don't agree with millions of years as a fact. But if the facts are that what is happening in the past few decades is accelerated much more than previously then that is interesting. And yea, people can't do much. It's Gods domain.

What are the actual facts on what is happening to the climate? I know the temperature has been going up and down for 6-10,000 years, but is what is happening recently more extreme, accelerated? I don't know the actual facts, and so I don't like to jump on a band wagon until I know the truth...

There is a difference between mental illness and disability. Illness isn't initially at least to do with a physical, permanent disfunction so much as a change in chemicals in the brain leading to affects on the mood. These chemical changes in the long run can lead to actually the brain...

Thank you Rosemaryx, I appreciate that. I'm also very blessed by God to have a comfortable place to live, a close family and a good church. But I can relate to what Runningman has posted... the affects of sin do manifest themselves physically sometimes.

Well like you posted there are alot of factors that contribute to somebody becoming mentally ill. At the moment in my life: *lost my job *trying to break an addiction *have renewed issues with my eyesight *am dealing with the after affects of recovering from food poisoning. *have hurt my back...

(1 John 4:17-19) KJV: Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love...

Yeah I think there is nothing biblically off with 'asking Jesus into your heart'.. but that means knowing Jesus is God, lived a sinless life, died and rose again. That by believing in Him a sinner has eternal life. Not just repeating words back to someone or asking Him in without knowing the...

Yea online ministries are hard to ascertain if the creator is sound biblically unless you've met them or they are referred to by others who know them

Completely agree, Grace Ambassador! Receiving Christ as Saviour is it. Making Him Lord of your life in every area takes a long time! There is also 'back loading' works into salvation.. where some say God only saves those who WILL be faithful to the end. Or salvation becomes 'turning from sin...

Remember the Galatians were Jews who were converted to christianity, but were returning to Judaistic system of sacrifices and laws etc.. they were also in churches around Galatia. So-- when Paul asks them: Galatians 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of...

Yes there is two kinds of 'save' One is eternal.. initial belief in Jesus as God, who lived a sinless life, died and rose again. Believing He can deliver us from sin. Once and for all. The other kind of save is daily deliverance, and a salvaged life for God. They are different kinds and the...

Yeah it's a typo :) :) :) When I post using my cell phone.. it's harder to get letters right :)

We aren't made righteous by law keeping, only be placing our faith in Jesus Christ alone. He frees us from bondage to law keeping. We can then serve Him with the commandments, because we aren't in bondage to them. Following the law is a mouse wheel of continual, never ending striving.. and...

Well I believe in once saved always saved, but that fall away doesn't mean 'lose eternal life' and at times a believer does deny the Lord, does lose faith... but again that's not undoing eternal life given them... that's struggling with faith and sin. My position on osas isn't calvinistic. I...

You can see the influence of this on cc. People who are professing Christians saying they do sin, but are not sinners. I understand we are children of God... delivered from sin. But I believe a 'saint' has a local church they belong to and are consistently faithful. Even then the Saint is...

I only use those terms because 'persons' makes me think of seperate beings. I don't believe the trinity operates as modalism.. God is all three at the same time. Not going from one to the other like sock puppets. I have the same way of looking at trinity as the traditional 'persons' view.. I...

Reminds me a little of Warehousing logistics, where managers problem solve to improve efficiency and supply chain issues. I've done a lot of warehousing as a peon, and get frustrated with managers prioritizing money saving and efficiency over staff well being.

Well.. I'll have to agree to disagree you on being converted before believing in Jesus. There are too many verses that have believing in Jesus for getting eternal salvation. Other verses about pre-destination are mainly about a pre set entrance to heaven for a believer and a pre set destiny...

Yeah that would have been quite something. The best scientists and academics are generally personable aswell... hence why they are at the top of their field. I have a friend who got all As through doing Electrical Engineering (the hardest kind) at university. I think he was in the top 3...

That is a nice analogy. As far as the mechanics go of the Trinity, it goes beyond human comprehension, but the facts of the Holy Spirit, the Father and the Son being co-equal, co-eternal, all fully God are plain to see in scripture. I like to see it as one being, God.. showing Himself in three...
