    Eating meat = huge risk

    It was not God's original purpose that Man eat meat. God originally gave Man a plant based diet. Genesis 1:29 "Then God said: “Here I have given to you every seed-bearing plant that is on the entire earth and every tree with seed-bearing fruit. Let them serve as food for you." After the fall...

    Did he hide himself when making things (god)?

    Why are we saved by faith?

    It is easy to think that way, but is it really wise? For example, did the apostles think that way? Did they think they only had to exert themselves to be initially saved? Definitely not. They gave their Christian life, living and ministry their all—right down till their death. Paul, for...

    And let us not forget this admonition and encouragement. Hebrews 10:24, 25 "And let us consider* one another so as to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking our meeting together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you see the day drawing near."

    Man is made in God's image.

    It means that humankind was given characteristics and qualities that mirrored God’s own, such as love, wisdom, power (Authority) and a sense of justice. It's to do with personality traits and has nothing to do with physical likeness. We are flesh, God is spirit. That's why the Apostle Paul...
