Rick, and the fruit of each. For what is the fruit of another will? Only God's will can create and sustain life. No other will is able. It's not a matter of rights, but power.

ForJesusChrist (are you?) "If we cannot grasp an answer, perhaps we should not try to grab it at all." I'm not sure what you mean by this, but if it means what I think it means, then happy is the one who denies it. Proverbs 25:2: It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search...

Emmy, just wondering. Which books of the Bible do you figure were written by women?

And yet you say your position is that yours is the true church, and that all else are in error? Since I am not of Eastern Orthodox persuasion, and I reached out to you and declared that through Christ we are brothers in the faith, you deny that I am of the family of God unless I am Eastern Orthodox?

"The word "church" is not relegated to one denomination." (I said) sure it is. (you said) Matt, I'm thinking I'll go ahead and withdraw from this forum. I see in your replies a disagreeable spirit, based in arrogance. I know God loves you deeply for that is His way. His love will not...

Wow! Do I detect nobility of mind??? Thank you so very much for your clear and lucid response. My heart is that we realize, and agree, that as God's character is so diverse, as evidenced by the use of His many names in Scripture, so He has called many people from different societies to His...

There's also Galatians 5:16; "Walk by the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh." And also John 3:8; "The wind blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound of it, yet you do not know from where it comes nor where it goes; such are those born of the Spirit." Let...

Hello Neogaia777 :) I was given the gift of writing music, playing guitar and singing, so I didn't get to opt out of being up front, unless I wanted to be the wicked servant who hid his Master's money in the ground. HOWEVER, early on I had TERRIBLE stage fright. It was confirmed when my...

Interesting. Do you know when Rabbinical Judaism was initiated? I agree, it is not pure Judaism, and has led Israel astray. As I stated, you must find out what I mean by "Messianic Judaism" before you assume what I mean. Messianic Judaism is a term coined to combat the idea that Jews who...

we do, Christ called one Church and only has actually preserved the faith through the ages The word "church" is not relegated to one denomination. What fault do you have with a church that believes the Bible to be the Word of God, and proclaims that it is the Truth? much less damage then if...

That's okay. God is greater than our theology, amen? Jews who believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah began with the disciples, Peter, John, James, etc. While not necessary to receive salvation through faith in Christ, there is some beauty in the laws, ceremonies, and yes, liturgies of...

Often, when people do not have the confidence or skills to be a writer, someone else comes alongside them and helps them tell their stories. You don't have to be an expert in anything, and not even really good at it. You have what it takes. Make notes. Pray. Have you ever heard of Temple...

Matt's comments came across a bit evangelistic. I am unable to find his message, so I may reference it as needed. There is no place among the family of God for evangelistic efforts. That is for the unsaved. To tell me I must "beat the rush" in learning how to worship before the throne speaks an...

I think you are in for quite an education. Perhaps a fresh look is what the country needs. Have any gifts as a writer? Maybe there's a book in it for you. Just be careful. I don't now how old you are, but not all homeless men are honorable. No, I did not read the other posting. What you...

ArmyMatt, hello! God bless you! I am very much rejoicing that God is calling forth a people of His own making, not formed by human hands, and not according to man's doctrines. I have no doubts that your liturgy comes from Scripture, even without knowing your liturgies. My original message...

Hi Mark! I am ecstatic over what God is doing among the people in this world! I remember the group Hillsong's song "I Adore You", and on YouTube, there was a video showcasing that song. During the slide pictures, there was a painting of a giant cross, standing under cloudy skies, with sun...

Interesting. I do not doubt my theology for it was both taught and revealed to me. I fully agree that prayer is the first step. Attitude of the heart must be such that our prayer is not flippant, nor disrespectful, even though we are children before a loving and holy God. When I speak of God...

I recognize the plight of those who have fallen on very difficult times, including abandonment, loss of employment, despondency and sadness...I've met people who packed a backpack, and left all behind because of the loss of a loved one. I've seen skinny bedraggled women standing alongside the...

May I ask you, kind sir, are you absolutely certain that in no way is your theology incorrect? Are there no gray areas, for which we trust God until understanding comes? I agree that Truth is One. It is never relative nor is it several. Truth is One. And if Truth is one, then all else is...

Does not seem that there are many posting here; I just want to say that while I don't subscribe to the eastern (western or any '-ern') orthodox religion, I rejoice in that the fact that God is greater than our theology, and one day all of us will worship Him before His throne, as truly one!
