    Whose Faith? Ours or Jesus'?

    ​Amen, Willie! That's what I believe the bible teaches as well. And oh how faithful He is!

    Whose Faith? Ours or Jesus'?

    I've been hearing a lot about how the faith we have is not our faith, but it's the faith of Jesus. I was just wondering what scriptures would validate this teaching? I have never heard this until I came here to CC. Does anyone know when this teaching began? Is it a denominational teaching...

    Not By Works

    I kind of see God grasping our arm and we are grasping the Lord's righteous right arm. Those who let go in my opinion are those who were one of the 3 bad soils that only last for a period of time. They don't endure and don't persevere because they aren't truly born of the Spirit or they'd...

    Not By Works

    Hi Megiddo, Here's my struggle with what you're saying here. When a person is born again, born of the Spirit, he immediately enters into a relationship with the Father, with the Son and with the Holy Spirit. We're a new creation, the old is past and the new has come. We'll never be the same...

    Hi loveme1, It says in Matthew that it would have been better if Judas had not been born at all. “The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born” Judas has remorse, but it wasn't unto...

    Old Testament/New Testament

    I thought it would be fun to post Old Testament Scriptures that are found in the New Testament either quoted or alluded to. Please feel free to add to the list. Old Testament Genesis 1:2-3 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was...

    Brink of divorce help

    Hi TA, It must be so difficult ...... I would still love my husband as well - "to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part". There would be compassion for him as well even though he is being...

    Hi TA.......cyber hugs! Welcome to CC. It's good to have you here. I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. I wanted to ask you why you want a husband back when he's cheating on you? If it's going to work out where he will repent and ask your forgiveness and you want him back...

    THE POWER OF THE TONGUE PROVERBS 18:21

    Proverbs 18:20, 21 With the fruit of a man’s mouth his stomach will be satisfied; He will be satisfied with the product of his lips. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. This has nothing to do with ungodly fear that results in something bad...

    When do you read your Bible.

    Many nights I can't sleep so one night I curled up in bed and began reading Revelation. I don't recommend anyone to read that book at night when you're trying to fall asleep.

    Is God's Word Inerrant

    From bible dot org. James Boice (Does Inerrancy Matter? [International Council on Biblical Inerrancy], p. 9) told of a gathering of ministers where an evangelical pastor argued a point based on the Bible’s teaching. He referred to Jesus’ words and to His promise to return. When he had...
