"Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. Whoever does not love Me does not keep...

If that be the Lord's will, so be it.:heart:

Bishop, Overseer, Shepherd, Pastors, Presbyters and Elders, are the exact same thing. Each of those words describe an aspect of their job to "lead the sheep". 1 Timothy 3:1-7 gives us the qualifications of how one can become a Bishop. Yes, many "churches" have allowed people in who does not meet...

God has put everyone in their appointed place and time so that they might seek Him. No one is unlucky. Acts 17:24-31

My biggest thing is to read Scripture in light of Scripture. When someone states something, I have to run to Scripture to see if what they say is true based on Scripture. I also am a sucker for reading every link that people give me, so I read the one you gave me... This is particularly...

I'm done. If you want to correct my misunderstanding that's fine, like we saw from Aquila and Priscilla who corrected Apollos even though all 3 had the Spirit, but I'm not here to go around in circles.

Strong's Greek: 2889. κόσμος (kosmos) -- order, the world

Explain to me how I twisted Romans 8, Romans 5, John 3:16 and Acts 17 by applying God's love unconditionally to the world. I have try my absolute hardest to interpret the Scripture according to the Holy Spirit that dwells in me, so if I am misunderstanding the scriptures then I can assume that...

We cannot love God first. God loves us first and then we turn around and love Him. EDIT: used "other" instead of Him.

Paul's letter was to those in Rome. So, the "us" Paul speaks to are to the Christians in Rome...Yes, I understand that it is expanded to mean Christians everywhere. Romans 1:7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord...

I want to expand your premise. God's unconditional love is not just for His people, John 3:16 tells us that "God so loved the world, that He gave us His Son". So, God's love for the world is unconditional. God does not have a condition that needs to be met for Him to love you. Ironically, for...

God's love is unconditional. Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” 37...

Interestingly, I am going through the same rut in life and as I was trying to put my lesson together to teach the ladies bible study tonight with the title "Encouragment" I received an e-mail from this forum with this topic being the first link for me to read. I think one of the hardest things...

I chuckle sometimes when people claim someone is good, and I want to respond like Christ did to the rich young ruler "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone..."-Luke 18:19. So, maybe by our standards she is good but remember we can never know what is in a person's heart. I...

I want to say that I do not believe that God tells people to "specifically" marry someone (unless you're Hosea :p), I do however think He gives us Scriptures that we are able to read, understand and show discernment. If we know that a particular person does not possess the qualities that are...

The reasons you got married are suspect but if you divorce her for this, you won't have to worry about getting remarried, you won't have biblical grounds to do so. Truth is, you both decided to commit to each other before God and it is up to the both of you to keep that comittment. You need to...

"Be fruitful and multiply" Sex brings forth more human life, so He will absolutely regulate that! Not to mention problems that it causes when it is not done in a marital relationship.

Live for God, die to self.

A murderer who is convicted of murder does not get out of prison simply because they repented of their sins. It doesn't make that person come back alive as well. Repent means that we change our lives and do what is right to God. Repenting of our sins and having the blood of Christ cover it means...
