Hello Evangelique, I was a passive enemy (if you will) of some of Pastor Prince's teachings for years, principally because of what I was told about his teachings and shown of his (via quotes and video shorts), so I believed that he taught hyper-grace as a result .. until I was fortunate enough...

Hello @Hali77, and welcome to CChat! I'm glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us :)(y)(y) Thank you for telling us a little bit about yourself (here and on your profile too :)), especially about the mighty work that the Lord is continuing to do in you!! Blessings to you in...

Praying about your upcoming visit with your brother (and everything else that surrounds it as well). God bless you!! ~Deuteronomy (David)

Hi Penny, welcome to CChat! I'm glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us :) @Magenta has described the best way to start connecting with other members and I concur. Once you make 20 (or 25?) posts, and receive something like 5 likes, you will also be able to start/create a...

Hello @Thysia81, welcome to CChat (w/o the "chat" ;)). I'm sorry that the chat feature isn't working, but I hope that you'll stay and chat with us on the forums instead :)(y)(y) May God bless you as you seek to find Him and know Him!! ~Deuteronomy (David) John 3 16 God so loved the...

Hi Mary, it's true that being sick, temporarily or chronically, is never fun, at all :( That said, I believe that God always causes the things that we suffer through to be a blessing to us in some way (as others have already mentioned). I don't have time to post my thoughts about all of this...

Hi Off, does He 'truly' say that, ever :unsure: If it's true that He does, that God "literally says" that He "takes pleasure in pain/suffering/death ~ITSELF~" and not in what ~RESULTS~ from it instead, please point that/those verse(s)/passage(s) out for us so that we can see them too (as I have...

That's interesting, because it sounds like a distinction with all of the difference in the world (and then some) to me ;) It's like saying that there is no difference between 1. having a fire hose and soaking a bride and her bridesmaids from head to toe right before they walk down the aisle...

Hello again Off, as I said in my last post, the Father allows suffering and has a purpose in it (FAR greater than the suffering itself), such as His Son coming here to die that horrible death on the Cross on our behalf, NOT because He was pleased BY the suffering itself, but because He was...

Hello Off123123123, God does not delight in suffering itself, whether it is His Son's or ours, rather, He is pleased with the results of it (the good that comes from suffering, that is), be it His Son's or ours. For instance, Hebrews 12 4 You have not yet resisted to the point...

Hello 2ndTimothyGroup, animal sacrifices to atone for the sins that we commit (so that we can be forgiven of them, at least temporarily) began in Genesis 3:21 with our first parents (in this case God sacrificed the animals Himself). Following that, we see that they (the sacrifices) appear again...

Hello Christine (@ChristineSawyer91792), welcome to CChat! I'm glad that you found us and joined in the conversations with us :) Thank you for sharing some of Charity Gayle's music with us too (y)(y) I hope you have a wonderful Resurrection Sunday tomorrow :giggle: God bless you...

Hi @2ndTimothyGroup, Paul suffered/was persecuted severely on numerous occasions for being a Christian .. cf 2 Timothy 3:12, and also for being a leader in the 1st Century church (and that by both the Jews and the Gentiles). As just one of the descriptions of his various sufferings tells us, 2...

Praying for your Mom...............

Hello again MerSee, this is still up in the air for me, so my answer, for now, will have to be, "yes" or "no", depending on how "believing correctly" is finally defined. Here's the thing, at least as I see it, demons know "sound doctrine" (better than we do), and they also know that it's true...

Ahh, for me it would be a "no". Or in poll form, my answer would be #2 below. 1. Jesus Christ saves no one. 2. Jesus Christ saves some. 3. Jesus Christ saves everyone. God bless you!! ~Deuteronomy

What Constitutes True, Saving Faith (according to the Reformers) Faith is central to Christianity. At the time of the Reformation, the debate involved the nature of saving faith. What is saving faith, and what are the constituent elements of saving faith? The Protestant Reformers recognized...

Hi @MerSee, could you define what you mean by "believe correctly" that Jesus Christ is the Messiah? I ask because I've seen several different ideas about what that is right here at CChat, from simply believing & professing facts about who the Lord Jesus is and what He did for us (which is what...
