What are your opinions on predestination? Is it Biblical that God chose every single person who would come to faith in Jesus? Or do we all have freewill and every single person alive has the opportunity to find Christ? Needless to say, there are verses in the bible that support both views. So... idk which one to go with... what do you think?

Hello,

As a few of you might know or have read I became a Christian on the 11th of July this year. I still have not attended church. I have decided this needs to change and will be attending soon.

I am looking into a Baptist church and I have found one I would like to attend. Since becoming a Christian my mother has also, so I hope she will also be attending with me.

Some back story is that I wasn't leaving the house much before becoming a Christian but a lot of my anxieties and such have gone away after I became a Christian. I had a psychotic episode (now gone completely) which made going outside scary. It's been strange getting back to normal, especially socialising. I also have aspergers which adds difficulty.

I am hoping to...

Well this should be great for liberals. He was GHW Bush's AG and they love GHW Bush! He was one of the greatest presidents ever! (of course they hated him when he was president, but let's not get bogged down with details) How could they possibly find fault with his is former AG?

Evidence implies that the obvious second military target in Japan was ignored (which was in clear weather), and the replacement target Nagasaki (in much worse weather) had only one major military target - the mitsubishi ship yards.

But the bomb did not strike even close to the shipyard ...it was several KM north, the epicentre was the Cathedral. Nagasaki was the actually the thriving and growing centre of japanese Christianity and nicknamed "little Rome" because of it.

And those deciding the targetting were part of the so called "brotherhood of death" - a masonic society, determined to wipe out christianity.

It may be just a conspiracy theory, but it is particularly nasty.
And there never was a logic behind Nagasaki as a military...

Should Christians support Rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple.

In 1979 I was at the Worldwide Church of God Festival of Tabernacles / Sukkot in Charlottetown, P. E. I., (at least that is what it was called back in those days)..... .and a Pastor gave a sermon on I Kings chapter 18........ and added some bonus material.

His theory was that Elijah...... had a window of opportunity to set in motion a series of events that would have led to the restoration of the Northern Kingdom of Israel........ but....... in order to do it he had to NOT RUN AWAY TO MT. HOREB???????

Would any of you debaters like to elaborate on the theory that this pastor probably put forward?

This may get your...

I've noticed that my atheist and agnostic liberal friends are hostile toward Christianity, but totally sympathetic to Islam, and I'm baffled as to why. It's to the point where they absolutely will become angry with you, accuse you of "racism," and declare that you are "misrepresenting" Islam when you criticize it. My best guess is that liberals with latch onto, make allies with, and defend anyone whom they view as oppressed.

I spent a great deal of time learning about Islam earnestly and open-mindedly while exploring religion. I spent considerable time at a mosque over the course of about 6 months, praying with them, chatting with numerous Muslims, reading the Quran front to back more than once, and studying the Hadith (teachings and...

How many gifts of the Spirit are mentioned in the Bible, and which ones are still operating today?

And discuss.

Hello Family of God,

I'm still quite new here; so I do apologize if this topic is in the wrong area.

As I was gathering information regarding False Prophets, False Teachers, and False Apostles . . . I came across an UNPRECEDENTED amount of False Prophets. Such as never occured in this manner. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of false prophets today across the globe. Is it possible for a "false prophet" to accurately "predict" upcoming events in the future? Yes! Demons are disembodied spirits that can travel at lightning speed, and are able to collect enough data from the minds of unbelievers, and even in their homes.These evil spirits at times can give somewhat accurate details of what is to come ahead. Keep in mind that...

I dont think many Christians even know what they are truly celebrating on Christmas now.

Its not the birth of Christ, if it is, they are making a total mockery of his birth.

The day has now turned in a commercial retail holiday, in which Santa Claus is greater than Jesus and these same merchants that dont care and probably dont even believe in Jesus have no problem selling Christians all sorts of junk, making them rich, and sending them into debt they will probably be paying off til the next Xmas, and all this sales on on the basis of a lie of Jesus birthday being Dec 25th.

Merry Christmas will probably offend or get a person almost fired from their job, and a nativity scene is almost pretty much a no now adays.

Christmas trees,...

This scripture below says that the scroll tasted sweet but was bitter in the stomach. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you.
Revelation 10:9 So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. And he *said to me, “Take it and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” 10 I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter..
