    I completely agree with you. It breaks my heart how we continually sin (myself most of all) against God when all he does is love us and bestow blessing upon blessing to us. Hopefully enough of us are praying for his mercy and 10 righteous souls are found so His word can continue to be spread...

    Am I correct with my understanding of this? Faith in Jesus alone = salvation

    While I agree with those who say WORKS do not save us. I do believe acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God and baptism are required. Jesus stated to John "..it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness" Matt 3-15 before the resurrection. After the resurrection and encountering...

    Thank you but for a little clarification: my daughter was actually stillborn (the OBGYN called her death). But through God's grace, He encouraged the pediatrician to snatch her out of his (OBGYN) hands and told him his patient was on the table (me) and not to call her patient's (the...

    Doesn't it say that the nations God's people destroyed held great wickedness much like Sodom and Gomorrah and that to let them live was to spread the wickedness across the world. In fact, there were several nations that weren't destroyed and allowed to live among the Israelites (Jebusites...

    It's actually funny you should mention the Arc. I have often wondered about that. Instant death was what Adam and Eve expected when they ate the fruit of the forbidden tree. It would have been so easy for God to remove them and form a new man (and subsequently woman) but he didn't do that...

    See I don't see that. Look how many times Abraham, Jacob, and even David messed up big time and yet God still affirms his convent with them each time. Look how the Israelites worshipped other idols in the good times God gave them but then would run to God for forgiveness in troubled times...

    Am I correct with my understanding of this? Faith in Jesus alone = salvation

    The biggest issue I have with the faith alone argument is that it wasn't until Jesus Himself was baptized (stating "Let it be so now, it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness") in the Jordan by John that the Holy Spirit appeared and God spoke the words " This is my Son, whom I...

    Am I correct with my understanding of this? Faith in Jesus alone = salvation

    I agree with everything you state here but have one follow up question: Which baptism? Water or oil? I have been to several churches and they each teach their version is the correct one. Does it matter? Is a baptism a baptism and as long as your intent to be cleansed from sin either will be...

    For example, when I spoke to several local pastors and mentioned the Old Testament, they immediately started by implying the Old Testament was when God was angry and stern. When I read the Old Testament, I get the impression God was VERY loving, forgiving, and heart hurt. He reached out his...

    Hidden motive for troops in blue states?

    Sir, I want to thank you for posting this. It says in 1 Corinthians it is our duty to point out gently and lovingly when others are straying from Jesus' directions and I believe you have done that in your responses. Whether you agree with Trumps actions or not, you should support your rulers...

    Hello all, retired military with a special needs daughter that makes it difficult for me to attend church and bible studies in person on a regular basis. I read my bible regularly but want to ensure I am receiving the correct messages. I have listened to several online bible study programs...
