    Just got dumped

    Never look to any man to give you all your goals and dreams. Look to God for that.

    Just got dumped

    Sounds like God is protecting you from a violent unsaved man who might have cheated on you or killed you. You probably were not with him long enough to really know him. You did not love him anyway, you loved the easy life you thought he could give you as a stay at home wife, which in today’s...

    Just got dumped

    You are only 20 years old. You have plenty of time for God to bring the perfect mate to you. I got saved as a teenager. My first wife when I was in my 20s cheated on me repeatedly. I divorced her. My world was turned upside down and I hated the very words “marriage”, “wedding”, and “wife”...

    I pray that in your weakness, you will trust Christ and your trusting in Christ will become a mighty David to conquer this Goliath of a problem in your life.

    What was the mark on Cain?

    I do not think Paul Thomson meant that Cain was being rewarded by God when God put a mark on Cain. God may have wanted to prevent escalating vengeances spiraling out of control. So God marked Cain to signify that Cain was property belonging to God and only God had a right to deal with Cain’s...

    What was the mark on Cain?

    Scholars and theologians have speculated on mysterious biblical topics for many centuries. One might say that how one God could exist as three persons is not something we need to know, yet this is continually discussed in volumes of theology. You are probably correct about how Cain’s mark was...

    You were first to make a claim, but you did not back it up with any data, so now you want me to do what you failed to do?

    Which of Jesus teachings do you reject, personally, socially, economically or politically?

    You exaggerate and base your wild allegations on fringe groups. Most Christians do not hate foreigners, Islamists, Muslims, Hindu, or poor immigrants.

    My apologies, I'm a little confused on faith right now. How Is Christianity True?

    As long as you wear judge’s robes and keep accusing God, you are not receptive to Light. You are not humble enough to find answers to your combative questions. We have nothing to forgive God for. Blasphemies like this display a darkened heart that is far from truth. Gautama Buddha denied the...

    Which of Jesus teachings do you reject, personally, socially, economically or politically?

    I do not think that Jesus used the whip on people. He did not beat them. He used the whip to drive out the animals. No, it does not put too much value on objects. It put value on reverence. The merchants and priests overcharged poor worshippers for required animal sacrifices and used unfair...

    Which of Jesus teachings do you reject, personally, socially, economically or politically?

    I get the feeling you are setting yourself up as a judge of Christianity as it currently exists. Your approach seems to be prideful. 2 Timothy 2 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive [quarrel]; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that...

    I have heard this preached a lot. For example, here is Paul Washer.

    Which of Jesus teachings do you reject, personally, socially, economically or politically?

    Not sure what you mean. You said : “Which of Jesus teaching do you reject in word, thought and deed. Not to mention through your personal theology?” Are there teachings of Jesus that you reject?

    Which of Jesus teachings do you reject, personally, socially, economically or politically?

    Your reference is not really about building a sustainable life in terms of future planning, or long term decision making, though. It seems to be more focused on the stability derived from consistently obeying the teachings of Christ. Matthew 7 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of...

    Which of Jesus teachings do you reject, personally, socially, economically or politically?

    I agree with you. If I look down the road of my life, I am not sure how things will work out. But like Abraham, I just trust Gods and keep on walking with him, not knowing where I will end up.

    What was the mark on Cain?

    In Hebrew, the word oth (אוֹת, pronounced owth) means sign, token, mark, or miracle. It describes a physical object, event, or symbol that points to a deeper meaning, a divine promise, or a proof of an event. Strong’s — Oth = a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument...

    What was the mark on Cain?

    Genesis 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. ———————- What mark on a human being would make you afraid to kill him? I have never seen any good...

    Which of Jesus teachings do you reject, personally, socially, economically or politically?

    If Jesus is our Savior, Teacher, and Lord, how can we possibly reject any of His teachings? Now, some teachings may be more difficult than others for us to obey. Many people think worrying is a rational operation that is entirely appropriate. They even think you are crazy to never worry about...

    God granting every request is still available today. Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    You are merely adding your opinions to what Jesus declared, and trying to negate it. Jesus said “he that believeth on me”, indicating an individual believer, not the collective. Performing miracles does not violate faith, it is the result of your faith.
