    The unforgivable sin

    I just wanted to discuss the sin of blasphemy of the holy Spirit. I believe I have the Spirit when I say there's no unforgivable sin, period. Let's consider what the Bible says. The pharisees called the Spirit Jesus cast out demons with the prince of devil's. So he tells them they'll never be...

    Mental health

    It seems like a lot of people put stock in psychology as real when the Bible doesn't support it. Where in the Bible is mental health? Where do all of these ideas come from. In history it is the American witch doctor. The alternative to Christ to deal with the soul. It's nothing more than the...

    Inheritance of the Spirit

    So Ephesians 1:13-14 says we have an earnest of inheritance. An earnest is a small portion given to guarantee the future full payment. It says the Holy Spirit is our earnest of inheritance upon salvation. So what is the complete inheritance if the down payment is the indwelling of the Spirit?

    The biblicalness of Bible college

    So what do you think of Bible college being biblical? I spent two years in bible college and come to find out some people are against it. Some churches just pick a pastor. Bible college isn't in the Bible. Does anyone think that pastors were trained in bible times or just picked? I think of...

    The law and Moses

    Jesus said for the hardness of your hearts Moses let you divorce. How much of the Law was just Moses? Jesus absolutely didn't like the stoning of the woman in adultery. Was the stonings just Moses?

    Mormon God

    So Mormonism says we become God at some point in the future. How much did Jesus mean "ye are gods". Is it like a new birth where God died so you could be God? Adam was called the son of God. Of course we're all sons of God by adoption. Here's what I personally think: ye are gods already means we...

    Bible only kills

    Most people blindly follow Bible only when the world is full of scripture. You have to study the history of the Bible. They never said it was the only scripture. They used their own criteria for making the book and didn't claim God told them. They basically said it all had to tie together and...

    Spirits

    So it's obvious there are spirits and we are spirits. Do you think heaven is on earth. Christ said we would be with him but He is omnipresent or everywhere. Do we just go to be with the spirits. On marriage Jesus said we would be like the angels. Maybe men are the angels. It's always been...

    The tribulation

    The tribulation is not 7 years. I went to Bible college where the tribulation is taught as Daniel's last week or 7 but I could never figure out how the last week was shot into the future. It isn't. All of Daniel's weeks are accomplished. The temple was already made desolate. Now the original...

    Apostles

    So apostles is listed as an office of the church or ministry in the bible. That means more than just the 12 and Paul. So where are their epistles. It's the primary job of apostles to have epistles. I personally think there are more books to the scriptures and often read the apocryphal books. If...

    The apocryphal gospels

    So I'm reading the apocryphal gospels from a book on Google. Do the Catholics recieve them because I do. I've been reading the gospel of Nicodemus which mentions the dead that were raised at the cross were met by the high priest and when asked if they would tell the truth did the sign of the...

    Nephelim

    Were the sons of God angels or the sons of Seth in Genesis where the women had giant babies. I personally side with the story that angels slept with women.

    Modest dress

    So I'm part of a group called Holiness and it emphasizes modest dress. The women wear skirts and the men wear long sleeve shirts. Shorts are forbidden. So where do you place modest dress. How much skin should we cover.

    Former pentecostal

    So I decided that cessationist are right. The Bible is " that which is perfect" for when gifts will cease. Now we know how to pray and live. I was a pentecostal for most of my life. But I find that if I ask in prayer the one giving tongues is an evil spirit. You've got to be careful. Not every...
