I think you must hold a PhD in speck ministry (Matt 7). And if the Lord Jesus didn‘t see a problem with Paul’s ministry as it was why should you? God Used him to write 13 of the New Testament books. Who are you to judge another man’s servant? I’m sorry I ever got into this conversation. So...

If two preachers preached the same message, there may be some variations because two different people preached it. But it’s still the same message. Peter was a fisherman and Paul was a scholar; two very different people. But God used them according to his plan for their lives and the people in...

boy that’s unfortunate! Sp if only a few cows show up at the trough to be fed do you withhold the food because it’s a small turnout? No, you feed them! a pastor is responsible to teach and shepherd those given to them, even if it’s only a few. Every life is valuable.

I see your point of using the KJV because it was the original translation. I personally prefer NKJV but I read other translations as well; however I still go back to NKJV. I use an app and have all the Bibles of different translations loaded into it, including the KJV. I just happened to...

God said to me once, “If you’re not teachable? Then you’re not useable.” So I agree it’s important to approach Him like a child; open heart and with childlike faith. “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he...

Do all you guys have PhD’s in theological studies? You certainly come across that way. I think this chat room is for the lofty, and I’m not a lofty person. Bless you in your studies.

James 3:1 “My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.” only God knows the heart. Not only do I feel sorry for the sheep who are fed wrongly; I feel sorry for the ones who feed them. but here’s a question. Isn’t it our personal...

Im not a true theologian, but according to what I read in the Bible I see both the deity and the humanity of Jesus. Yes, according to Philippians 2:7 He emptied Himself of His privileges and became one of us. He allowed Himself to be placed as a fertilized embryo in the womb of a young girl...

I think I believe a lot of people have been deceived by the pre trib rapture doctrine. Having graduated from an Assemblies of God college i used to be one. But that doctrine is based only on 2 Thess and when I studied Matthew 24 i saw the contradiction. Im not a pre trib person but I’m not...

Also remember, He is God but also now your Father. He loves you and wants to have fellowship with you. His hearts desire is for you to grow in faith and closer to Him. Hebrews 6 says that He’s a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him. Just start and He’ll guide you.

When I pray, I ask first that my thoughts be aligned with His thoughts and my will aligned with His will. Matthew 5 the Lord’s Prayer Jesus taught “Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven”. It’s a great model for prayer: Begin with praise, ask for His will to be completed in your life...

The way this conversation is heading, it would be a great opportunity to practice “bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ”.(2 Corinthians 10:5) I will probably get hammered on for saying this…. But as my son says, “Pick your battles”.

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone!

This certainly is a convoluted subject. I really hope no one was offended by my posts; that was certainly not my intention. I guess that’s why we were instructed to be swift to hear and slow to speak. I think I’ll do more reading and less posting in the future. God bless all.

Yes, add John 3:17 to that, “ for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.“. As my mom used to say “all means all“.

Agree. I’ve never read so many differing and unbiblical views. Didn’t Jesus say in John 3:16 that WHOEVER believes in him would have everlasting life? And he told Nicodemus that he (we) must be born again? Romans 10 Paul writes, “But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say...
