    Is a good verse to use with cults?

    I used go through that ….but the relief valve that God gives us is very helpful. 1Co 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 1Co 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. It is not our...

    Is a good verse to use with cults?

    Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. While that is a great verse…. I am not so sure that would be effective against cults or those involved within. People don’t respond well to being told… or pointing out that they are...

    What Happens To Us When We Die?

    Anybody who has died (other than our savior) is in the state of sheol which is the reign (or time period) of death….. (not the grave itself which is qeḇer) That will change for those in Christ at the "gathering together unto Him"…. and for those in the times prior to Pentecost it will change...

    The tribulation

    There are a few different thing The administration (dispensation) of grace. (Eph 3:2) Which encapsulates the administration of the mystery of the one body. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: How much grace is there in Revelation...

    Don’t like my son

    As others have stated ….prayer. Any grief you give him about his idiosyncrasies will just drive a wedge between you…. and cause him to act out more of his particular manners. Prayer….. and biting you tongue….not with God, but with him. It is tough, I know…. but any guff, reproof, correction...

    Romans 10:13

    It is in the context of…. Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto...

    Creation & age of the World

    Thank you! It doesn’t make any difference ….God said in the beginning... and that is good enough for me! And I am pretty sure He wasn’t referring to baseball when he said in the big-inning.

    Hi, Can we ask difficult questions here?

    I think anything should be open for discussion …. but there are certain limitation on all sites….not with people but certain subjects.

    which gift do you have.

    As far as I know there are seven gifts given to the “Church of the Body of Christ” →“5 gift ministries” listed in Ephesians Eph 4:11. ** **(the 5 gift ministries listed in Ephesians 4:11 These are gifts of service on a horizontal level given to those who are fully committed to serving Gods...

    What's Your Daily or Weekly Spiritual Routine Like?

    My routine is sporadic …I guess that somewhat nullifies “routine” … but I have some consistencies. I wake up @5 …. get outta bed…. drag a comb across my head…. find my way downstairs and drink a cup of ~COFFEE~ and study for a while along with prayer………. Two evenings a week I am teaching...

    Husband doesn’t want me to be baptized

    I know your heart is set on baptism ... and as much as I disagree with the necessity of "water baptism" if that is what you want.... you should go forth with it ... But don't push it! .... Just kind of let it ride right now. In other words ...wait until he brings it up..... and he will...

    I have heard . . .

    I spent 14 years of my life having a religion (of all places) make up things about God that are not in the Bible… And you want me to trust your word? …No way…… Nor do I expect you to trust mine unless it is backed up by scripture which is my only source of Truth, practice, and faith (believing)...

    Fasting

    It's not required but there is nothing wrong with it ... There are some heath and mental benefits to it but I wouldn't try doing it for 40 days.... Do it at your own digression but don't make it must do law ...then it just becomes works.

    I have heard . . .

    It sounds to me like you are trying to sell me religious tofu wrapped in a USDA prime package … there is no meat in what you say. But if you can show me a scripture that verifies your statement …. I will gladly accept that as truth.

    I have heard . . .

    Nope, I don’t see the absurdity …. I did use “heart of the earth” and “entombed” to make the point that He was dead. Hell is the counterpart that the Greeks used for Hebrew word sheol …. which is the "state" of being in the grave (not the grave itself). Everybody who dies is in that state until...
