I’m not going to create an OP with all the possible verses that could be used, but simply address a matter that I’ve come across too many times.

In simplicity... Many Denominations attempt to define the TriUnity Of God in all sorts of ways that impact the “Person’s” of the TriUnity.

I’m going to put this as real as I can. The early church isn’t defined by post John the Revelator’s students that carried forward Canonical, 66 book Chain Of custody.

The Early Church is what we see IN Scripture.

Now, that being said... When did the Early Church start?

There are views that contend over this matter. I could list about every place people argue it started from the 12 Apostles with Jesus to various passages in the book of Acts...

Who’s...

Wesley's revival had some unusual manifestations, holy rolling... and the fruits are clear in hindsight. What are they?
And the Toronto Blessing is now decades old. What are the fruits to observe and determine the nature of this tree? According to Jesus, you can tell a tree by it's fruit.
Out of this movement I have been inspired and set free from a whole area of sin. One lady we prayed for, said she had no more pain. Some find holy rolling... offensive.

What say you?

I ended an online "relationship/friendship/flirtation" a week ago and feel conflicted inside because I am sad to let the person go. I have a lot of mixed emotions about it. I talked to him for a year and I hoped we would meet eventually but the opportunity never came about, or it was just put on the back burner. Anyways, I think what happened was the guy simply lost interest because I was a desperate ditz who had health problems and was annoying. I think he felt sorry for me because he knew I didn't have real life friends. It was my first "real relationship" that wasn't actually a relationship because we had never met. I'm 25 years old and never been kissed or dated anyone ever. Ha, how pathetic is that? There's people my age having...

Majority of Americans say heartbeat abortion bans are not too restrictive

May 17, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) — A recent national poll shows a majority of Americans hold that banning abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy is not “too restrictive” and young people are more likely than their elders to judge laws banning abortion after six weeks as “too lenient.”
Women and men united in support of greater restrictions on abortion
The poll shows that women (53 percent) and men (57 percent) share approximately the same level of concern about lax abortion laws, debunking hyperbolic claims by supporters of the multi-billion-dollar abortion industry.

Brigham Young, second prophet and president of the LDS church said,

"The birth of the Saviour was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood—was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers." (Journal of Discourses, v. 8, p. 115).

Brigham Young also said, "Now, remember from this time forth, and for ever, that Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1, page 51).

Brigham Young said, "When the time came that His first-born, the Saviour, should come into the world and take a tabernacle, the Father came Himself and favoured that spirit with a tabernacle instead of letting any other man do it. The Saviour was begotten by...

Is There a Connection Between Undocumented Immigrants and Crime?

A lot of research has shown that there’s no causal connection between immigration and crime in the United States. But after one such study was reported on jointly by The Marshall Project and The Upshot last year, readers had one major complaint: Many argued it was unauthorized immigrants who increase crime, not immigrants over all.

Do we choice to be saved or is it already given? I mean God knows all is there a point? Than again John 3:16 is who ever believe in Jesus. Wouldn't that mean we have a choice? Even God tried to warn us of our actions. He didn't create us to love us automatically but to pick or is free will a lie?

What if we got what we really deserved? Would that be a terrible or wonderful thing?

Curious as to the purpose.

Listening to Matt Dellahunty, Seth Andrews and others helped me to lose my faith for 2 years.

Now I have repented and I am hopefully accepted again by Christ.

Isn't it risky to allow debate that may take away others from the true faith of Christ?

What's the point?

Why did God Die?

Hebrews 2:14 is the answer.

What empowered the one with the power of Death?

1 Corinthians 15:55-57 tells us

Who deceived us to become subject to Sin?

2 Corinthians 11:3 Tells us

Who did God Judge as the Originator Of Sin?

John 16:11 and we see in John 12:31, with 2 Corinthians 4:4 and Revelation 12:13 in mind that this is who God has judged. Hebrews 2:14 affirms this.

Why now, is some theology bent on removing Christ’s words here?

John 8:15, Luke 5:32, John 8:10-11

And above all... Matthew 9:13

The word Reprobate literally means “Unprincipled”. Paul says all are under the condemnation of the Law that God can offer mercy to all... Galatians 3:21-22. The word Reprobate appears in Romans 1, but is seldom...
