    How many here believe the literal Word of God in the Bible

    Literal is a tricky word. The Scriptures includes hyperbole, anthropopathisms, and anthropomorphisms, which are forms of speech never meant to be taken literally. They are used to get your attention and/or explain a spiritual concept in human terms so we can begin to understand.

    Remember your sins no more.

    Paul knew this and had to forget in order to fulfill God's plan for his life. He confessed his sins, forgot his sins, abandoned any guilty conscience he might have had, and got moving in the plan of God. Php_3:13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing...

    Dating non Christians

    I like cinder's answer, that is the gist of it. To add to that, I suggest you give him the gospel message every time you have a conversation with him. The gospel separates people. He will either believe in Christ or start avoiding you. Giving the gospel is as simple as quoting a gospel verse...

    I believe in improvements

    The greatest improvement you can make is to "grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2Pete3:18). Infusing the Word of God into your soul and spirit changes how you think. Daily study and intake of the Word transforms your mind. It should be a daily lifetime...

    A walk in the park

    If he ever believed in Christ then he is saved. The promise of God to save all who believe can not be broken. Believers in Christ have the freewill to make bad decisions. It happens everyday. However in this case, it seems unlikely that he ever was a believer. Only God knows. I would make...

    Who are the people that are being deceived?

    Yes a born again believer can be deceived. Our protection is knowing the Word of God, and of course God Himself. If your sister is a believer in Christ, she will come under a lot of divine discipline for being so out of line with God's Word. This is God's way of showing love to one of His own...

    Questions about reaching an agnostic

    While you can not prove the existence of God, there is a lot of convincing evidence that this world and the universe had to have an intelligence behind it. You might give her the book "The Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel. Many scientists are rejecting godless evolution, (because it makes no...

    If Jesus Came to Your Front Door, What Would He See if He Came Inside?

    If Jesus came to anyone's front door, He would see a soul for which He died.

    Our war as believers

    The answer is always spiritual. Politics reflects the spiritual condition of the people. We get the government we deserve. This is why evangelism followed by sound Biblical teaching is critical for this life and the next.

    Harry Potter

    I view Harry Potter as a substitute for trusting in God for your strength. Instead of trusting in God, it seduces children to trust in magic and witchcraft. I know kids that reject the Bible, but are experts in all things Harry Potter.

    Backsliding

    Christ paid for every sin you and I have ever, or will ever, commit. The issue involved when we sin is the breaking of fellowship with God and the loss of the filling of the Holy Spirit. We regain the filling by confession of sin privately to God. You are your own priest, you represent...
