    Predestination; are fates set in some cases?

    God knowing what we'll do and working with it is different than forcing it to happen. God doesn't force salvation or evil; he knows about it.

    The US will send a carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean in support of Israel

    I pray for both sides as they both have a plight. Israel was attacked but they've had Gaza in a prison style life for years. It must be terrifying on both sides as both sides are killing civilians.

    The biblicalness of Bible college

    So what do you think of Bible college being biblical? I spent two years in bible college and come to find out some people are against it. Some churches just pick a pastor. Bible college isn't in the Bible. Does anyone think that pastors were trained in bible times or just picked? I think of...

    The law and Moses

    Jesus said for the hardness of your hearts Moses let you divorce. How much of the Law was just Moses? Jesus absolutely didn't like the stoning of the woman in adultery. Was the stonings just Moses?

    question: Can an unsaved person be baptized in the Holy Spirit?

    Water baptism is obedience to God. We are saved when we believe and should be baptized right away. Most churches don't emphasize baptism. You must be baptized after salvation. Too many times people don't confess publicly what they prayed and it dies. Without works faith is dead. We must be...

    Mormon God

    So Mormonism says we become God at some point in the future. How much did Jesus mean "ye are gods". Is it like a new birth where God died so you could be God? Adam was called the son of God. Of course we're all sons of God by adoption. Here's what I personally think: ye are gods already means we...

    What does that simple question reveal?

    The baptism in the Spirit is a blessing for sure. Every Christian needs the Spirit to pray for them. That's the power of God with dynamite. The holy spirit intercedes for the individual.

    Bible only kills

    I know the Bible. I'm not against the Bible. I've read it like ten times including audio CDs. I went to Bible college. But my understanding is nothing has ceased. The book promotes everything and you can't cancel it. It means it. The book is finished so don't believe it? As for criteria you'd...

    Bible only kills

    We've been through this before on another thread. No I don't mean the apocrypha which seems to be your favorite. There are plenty of writings available if you search.

    Bible only kills

    So you believe they put the Bible together under divine inspiration? Then there's still divine inspiration! Some of you contradicted yourselves. Church father's still got divine inspiration to you; why couldn't they have just as easily pinned scripture? And I don't see any answers to my supposed...

    Bible only kills

    Most people blindly follow Bible only when the world is full of scripture. You have to study the history of the Bible. They never said it was the only scripture. They used their own criteria for making the book and didn't claim God told them. They basically said it all had to tie together and...

    tithing a way out of poverty

    You gotta be careful that you don't give to the rich. No TV evangelist needs tithe. Tithe goes to your local church. I personally am proud of my pastor; he doesn't get a check. He wants the bills paid of a small congregation and got us a good spot to have church.

    Is personal prophecy scriptural?

    I think it is highly abused but real. Your holy spirit will bear witness if it's true and it will be encouraging as the scriptures say. Mostly I think false prophets deal in selfish pride. Too many people certify prophets based on itchy ears of wealth. They always prophesy your going to get...

    Are All Books of the Whole Holy Bible Divinely Inspired?

    There were some books left out that the Bible mentioned. I also like the gospel of Nicodemus. I believe it's inspired. Men put the Bible together is history. It's up for debate whether they were inspired. They came up with their own criteria.

    Sinful Roots In The Heart

    I had a Bible college teacher that said just copy from the copy machine. And another that admitted it was stealing. I personally think it's wrong but not that uncommon. People do lose money if you pirate but in this case just credit. I don't know if she was trying to present it as her or just...
