    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    Pilgrim and I trust God, too--there is no doubt about that. We just have a different faith/doctrinal point-of-view than you. Nothing wrong with that as long as we agree on Jesus Christ being our Lord and Savior bottom line. If folks have a different perspective on this fact, there isn't any...

    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    I have no problem with your faith perspective and agree with several of your points on the whole. I do my best to express an orthodox perspective and present teachings that have been handed down through the generations of church leaders dating back to the book of Acts, Paul in particular. I'm...

    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    Amen. We're on the same page brother, and Paul reinforces how important communion is within our Christian lives. Jesus says the bread "...is my body" and the wine "is the new testament in my blood." I think this is the heart and core of orthodox belief in the "real presence" of Jesus Christ in...

    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    It may not be "true" from your point of view, but there are many Christians (e.g. Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans) who believe in the "real presence" of Jesus Christ in the bread and wine we partake at the communion ceremony at church. I see communion from more of a symbolic and memorial...

    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    I have no problem with the verses you quoted, but please be more specific on how I'm "wrong again"... "Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born...

    Is it acceptable for Christians to have an unchristian job or career?

    Way too literal, my friend. You are honing in on perhaps a bad choice of one word. How about if we change "any" to "many". How would the contribution she made change by that one simple edit?

    Is it acceptable for Christians to have an unchristian job or career?

    Insightful. We live in a sinful world and through faith and grace we interact and impact in a positive way as best we can without getting snared into sinful actions. A challenge to say the least in my experience as a follower of Jesus.

    Is it acceptable for Christians to have an unchristian job or career?

    The context of Taniyah's commentary implies that being a prostitute or drug dealer are unacceptable vocations as Christians. Note the "values and integrity" observation... I like the balance perspective, too... 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 New King James Version 19 For though I am free from all...

    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    Love those verses from Isaiah! "...the government shall be upon his shoulder...to establish it with judgement and justice" is the one I look forward to with Jesus Christ as our King! We have done a poor job at "governing" ourselves on our own. That will change drastically when Christ returns! I...

    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    Great point and fits in nicely with John chapter 8: John 8:12 New King James Version 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” I've always loved being out in the woods or on a lake well...

    Should artificial intelligence be allowed to evolve

    I'm a tech. guy, and my nephew is involved in an AI university project at the programming level right now. I wouldn't be too worried about AI at this point, and if we put the right constraints and regulations in place, AI can be used to enhance our lives. The "thinking" it does is basically...

    The gospel of …..

    I was thinking about what a revolutionary revelation God gave to His people with the law and prophets taking civilization multiple levels above where they were at prior to God's intervention. It really transformed our world as we know it. And, then, Jesus comes on the scene and brings us to the...

    Amen, and... Matthew 18:19-20 New King James Version 19 “Again[a] I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”...

    The gospel of …..

    These are wonderful thoughts my friend, and I think you have summed it up quite well in relationship to this important topic in your forum. Why try to live under an obsolete covenant (the law and the prophets) when they were only "patterns" pointing towards a New Covenant in Jesus Christ our...

    The gospel of …..

    How did Moses enter the cloud? I browsed through Matthew, Mark, and Luke's account of the experience, and it's like all of them entered the cloud. The disciples were fearful for good reason because they were stepping into the presence of Almighty God the Father, when the voice said, "this is my...

    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    Great thoughts brother! It's amazing what Jesus said at the end of the festival, and it shows the ultimate judgement He desires for His people: John 7:37-39 New King James Version The Promise of the Holy Spirit 37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out...

    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    Amen, Paul has some great thoughts on the judgement topic, and of course his faith-based perspective puts everything into clear focus in Jesus: Romans 2:1-4 New King James Version God’s Righteous Judgment 2 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you...

    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    Hi brother! I really appreciate the sidetrack we took down the Jewish festival and prophecy road yesterday, and I may have to dabble in some more of that today, too. :) But, I want to spend a little time with Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles in John chapter 7, so going back to the verse below...

    The Gospel According to John--"I Am The Bread of Life" (John 6:35)

    The Day of Atonement goes hand-in-hand with Passover as well: Luke 23:44-47 New King James Version Jesus Dies on the Cross 44 Now it [a]was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 Then the sun was [b]darkened, and the veil of the temple was...
