    I have a question.

    Just cool down and drop that. What you saw had nothing to do with what you mentioned.

    I have a question.

    Guess what? The law of God expounds perfectly on such matters. Have a read.

    Not By Works

    Not a bad question. However, is the focus of a saved soul on himself and his own works, or is the focus on Christ and HIS work, and as a result of that one's works are done out of gratitude for what one has already freely received? See the difference in focus? You can never compare the idea of...

    Has Anyone Ever Seen an Unwed Mother Attending a Christian School?

    Dunno much about this, but right up front the sense comes that the only the girls are blamed. What about the boys who made them pregnant? If they're from the same school, they are okay to remain there? Otherwise, yes, I'd guess school girls who get pregnant have a hard time keeping up and...

    Cool! I Found Jesus in The Old Testament!

    Congrats. He is there in every book of the OT.

    Five Foolish Virgins VS Five Wise Virgins

    Oil (rather olive oil) is a metaphor or "symbol" of the Holy Spirit. This is seen in several OT scriptures (Exo.30:30, Lev. 4:3-5, Num.3:3, 1 Sam.16:13, Ps. 2:2, Isa.61:1, Zech.4:1-6) as well as in the NT (Matt.25:1-13; Acts 1:8; 10:38, Gal.5:16; Eph. 5:17-18) etc. So, if someone has no oil...

    What are you grateful for Today?

    Began the day with some health issues, got better over the day, also saw God's leading in the small details. It's great.

    Well, on an individual level: While a person may not be an arminian, some of his beliefs may be. Although that person might not even have read up on or know much or even anything about arminianism, some of his beliefs yet are identical to some arminian tenets. Just as there are people who hold...

    Not By Works

    You are right that we should listen to the individual and ask what they believe instead of telling them what they believed. Agreed. However, as to get an orientation of certain things we meet, we would be well off to know something about where certain beliefs may have come from. The baptists...

    Not By Works

    Does it have to be to divide? It's more to identify so that you understand whom you address when in discussion. When someone basically has an arminian theology then one should not be surprised if people see such as an arminian. When people who hold to such beliefs, save for the teaching that a...

    Of course these people do not deny eternal security, they differ from arminians proper on that issue. I didn't make that term up, okay. Just type "arminian OSAS" at the search box on your search engine of choice to see for yourself. For example the southern baptists are often said to be arminian...

    Arminians proper, yes. However there are plenty of OSAS arminians around. Just check it up through search engines if you doubt.

    Not By Works

    Yes, ridiculous. But the problem with arminian OSAS is that the people are in the risk of feeling falsely secure in their salvation based solely on what they have done. Not what the Lord have done. They thought they were smarter than other people by conjuring up some "ability" of making a "free...

    Can a Christian Have a Devil?

    Where do the devils abide, in your opinion?

    Is God giving America up?

    This is what has come to my mind: It seems that the devil is very interested to attack the US. I guess it would have to do with that the US as it sprang forth could have been a haven for true christians around the world and that, indeed, the blessings that the US has gotten has come from the...

    WHICH Bible "version" Is Authorized By God?

    No one has suggested that you need to become a scholar. A look up at the original texts is not something bad though. Doing so has nothing to do with "man's wisdom". But you'd be well off with KJV as an english speaker in any case.

    ****Justified DIVORCE****

    What about people then who claim that this is for women only. Men are exempt from this, men can even have several wives. No, this is again not in the west, perhaps except for some mormon fundamentalists or similar, this is in the third world. There are even some christian churches in the third...

    WHICH Bible "version" Is Authorized By God?

    Do you have any sources as for Watchman Nee's credentials in Greek and Hebrew.? I wish not to argue or be offensive but some of his teachings are very risky business nevertheless. Won't go into that here, anyone interested may use search engines to see for themselves.

    WHICH Bible "version" Is Authorized By God?

    King James VI was a mason? Just evil rumors or something to it?
