Are there any big differences in their doctrines regarding this? Is there any risk to a believer for believing either doctrine in the perspective of either Denomination?

From what I have heard. Both denominations believe Salvation is conditional, along with belief that any man can come to the faith by their own will. And that any person can walk away from the faith by their own free will.

There isn't a belief of predestination, or OSAS (Once saved always saved), In either denomination.

If anything I have said is wrong about the beliefs or disbeliefs of either denomination please correct me. I have one question for both, and that is for those who left the faith, can they re-enter back in and be saved, or is that a permanent decision on behalf of the ex-believer?

Hi everyone, I would greatly appreciate your prayers. For whatever reason I do not have joy, I have never had it, I had it for about 5 minutes right after I got saved and then it left and has never come back. There must be a very good reason why I do not have it, I have been seeking God for the reason why but no reply so far. I do not have peace either. The bible says that the joy of the Lord is your strength and I lack strength!

During the last years the believers/saints will be overcome and their power and a mass murder of believers will occur. Surely anyone posting here would know that much is true according to the bible. Many martyrs, beheadings, believers fleeing and not being able to preach the gospel freely etc etc

The bible tells us that the gates of hell will not withstand the church, or as some interpret, overcome it.

If the church were here in those last years, then it would be overcome. So it cannot be here if what Jesus said is true.

Seeing through the lens of Jesus sacrifice for us My interpetation
Matthew 3:2 KJV Matthew 4:19 KJV , John 3:16 KJV ) and God love for us Romans 5: 8 KJV

These scriptures are significant in the kingdom of God, heaven and on earth.

Matthew 3:2 KJV
"And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Matthew 4:19 KJV
"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭KJV‬
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 5:8 KJV
'But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. '

1 John 5:6 KJV
"This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth."

1 John 5:7 KJV‭
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Have someone ever spoke to you or gave you writings about God's(Jesus Christ) love?

Know some churches have an appointed believer to interpret tongues during their services. If you know of this approach, would you elaborate.

I'm sure counselors rushed to the delegate's aid

Hi everyone! I'm an autistic Christian who has been rejected at every church (except one) that I've ever walked into. I'm hoping to find others who have had difficulties with churches not being very accomodating to those with autism. The bible says that we all need fellowship wity each other as well as with God. I'm hoping I can find that here.

Republican Chair Says Only Christians Should Be Elected to Government​

Kandiss Taylor, the Republican chair of Georgia's 1st congressional district, said on her Jesus, Guns, & Babies show that "we shouldn't be electing anyone in government...who isn't Christian."

In the episode streamed on Rumble on August 17, she told Erik Corcoran, founder of Businesses for Liberty, that "The Constitution is founded on common law; common law comes out of the Bible," adding that the entire premise of the United States' governing rules and structure is related to Jesus and God.

"You can't separate the two," she said of common law and the Bible. She continued: "The idea behind the whole document was that the church runs the state. The church and we the people. We are the church...and so we run the state. But the state, the government, has no control over the church."

Taylor added, "And everybody is like, 'Then you gotta let Satanists come in, and you gotta let witches come in, and you've gotta let Muslims and Hindus.' No, no, we don't.

"I don't have to give you 'freedom' of religion."

I don't need anything from you, Kandiss. I have my constitutional freedom already.

My pastor says he sees no repentance in my eyes and that I'm not bearing good fruit, so for those reasons he will not let me sing or play piano in church. He says I'm a spiritually dangerous person and a danger to his ministry. Yet I am changed. I'm not perfect and I sin and mess up. But he will not let me worship God through music because of the things I've done recently. But I asked God to forgive me. And I know God wants me to sing because he gave me a gift. And he commands us to sing but I'm not allowed because I used to do marijuana and because I told people about the way he has been doing me therefore I'm a danger to his ministry and can't sing. Am I overreacting or am I being condemned? I need advice

I am not questioning or challenging what we Catholics term "Real Presence" in the Eucharist.
On another thread I expressed a possible need to explain how it occurs.

In the Catechism we find:

1376 The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring: "Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation."

The problem is "substance".

What do we mean by that term. I don't think the catechism tells us.

In 252 it does say:
The Church uses
(I) the term "substance" (rendered also at times by "essence" or "nature") to designate the divine being in its unity,
(II) the term "person" or "hypostasis" to designate the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the real distinction among them, and
(III) the term "relation" to designate the fact that their distinction lies in the relationship of each to the others.


New Advent tells us:
It is necessary, therefore, to recognize in each thing certain secondary realities (see ACCIDENT) and also a permanent fundamentum which continues to exist notwithstanding the superficial changes, which serves as a basis or support for the secondary realities — what, in a word, we term the substance. Its fundamental characteristic is to be in itself and by itself, and not in another subject as accidents are.



So in the Eucharist we are saying that the substance, the fundamental characteristic is changed even though everything we know to be "bread and wine", breadness and wineness remain. Now, Aristotle and Plato would say that breadness and wineness are the substances. They are all that make bread bread and wine wine. St Thomas kind of twisted their notion of substance in a way they did not intend.

It seems to me that we are really talking about the introduction of Christ's presence, not as a material substance, but as a non material spiritual reality. That would be substance in a conceptual sense, like the substance of an idea, or argument or theory. For example, what is the substance of a person? It would seem to be an enduring conscious personality and center of awareness. Not some transcendent immaterial particle.

The ancient concern about mater and substance no longer seems to serve us in an age where we acknowledge the dynamic change and process of all things around us.

I know I whined about this earlier this week but I can't shake the feeling, so many Christians have these experiences that draw them back to God and they get to feel God's presense and pull, I haven't. I realized that Free Grace isn't sound doctrine and was scared to go to Hell, no overwhelming emotions, no reaching the end of myself, just I see Hell. I don't wanna go. God can keep me out of Hell. Let me go to him. I know it's selfish and I'm aware that when I believe and trust in him I am saved. But it feels like he isn't there for me. I read the word and feel nothing in me change. I pray and feel nothing. At this point I feel like I need to make terrible decisions so that I can come to end of myself so that God might accept me. All I wanted is to not go to hell and I don't think God wants that for me

The 2024 platform is a long way from 1992’s.

CHICAGO — Sixteen years ago feels like an eternity in terms of the Democratic Party’s messaging on abortion.

Speaking at a 2008 “Faith and Compassion” forum for Democratic presidential candidates, former president Barack Obama critiqued his party’s approach to the abortion issue.

“There is a moral dimension to abortion, which I think that all too often those of us who are pro-choice have not talked about or tried to tamp down,” he said.

That same evening, his opponent for the Democratic nomination, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, said she believed abortion “should remain legal, but it needs to be safe and rare — and by rare, I mean rare.” Her husband, former president Bill Clinton, introduced the phrase into American politics during his presidential run in 1992.

Conservatives are raging over the arrival of a 90-foot tall statue of Hanuman, a Hindu deity that is half-human and half-monkey, in Texas. The figure, officially titled the "Statue of Union," is now reportedly the third tallest statue in the continental U.S., trailing only the 151-foot tall Statue of Liberty in New York and the 110-foot tall Pegasus and Dragon statue in Hallandale Beach, Florida.

It's on private land, owned by the temple....you can't legally say that it needs to come down, unless Christians want to have the risk of statues of Christ come down as well. I'm not happy about huge bronze idols being erected in America, but I guess it just illustrates the fact that this country is disintegrating, crumbling within, severing itself from its historical roots, and teetering on the brink of extinction. Sic transit gloria mundi.

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that he will address the nation about the path forward for his campaign Friday in Arizona, amid advanced discussions with former president Donald Trump and his campaign team about dropping out of the race and endorsing the Republican nominee, according to multiple people familiar with the conversations."


What would this mean for the election? Could enough RFK supports tilt the scales in favor of Trump?

Covenant of Abraham

Abraham made covenants with God when he received the gospel, when he was ordained a high priest, and when he entered into celestial marriage. In these covenants, God promised great blessings to Abraham & his family. These blessings, that extend to all of Abraham's seed, are called the Abrahamic covenant

Luk 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, we have Abraham for our father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones (Jewish Saints=2/3rds Abraham Covenant {1/3rd 6th Trumpet Kingdom} Zech 13:7,8) to raise up children to Abraham.

I am fortunate to have an older decent quality NASB 77 by Broadman and Holman.

However,
I would also like to have that translation available in websites such as Biblia etc. I have not been able to find any. Any help would be appreciated

I realize the NASB 95 is still available on most of those websites. I am also very pleased with that translation.

Kudos.

Harris campaign is hiring delusional people. Just check out the pronouns.

Former President Donald Trump vowed, if elected come November, to rehire military service members who were let go for rejecting the COVID-19 vaccination and promised they would receive an apology with back pay.

"Kamala [Harris] and Crooked Joe purged 8,000 service members from our military for refusing their COVID vaccine mandate. They refused to do it," Trump said at an Asheboro, North Carolina, rally on Wednesday.

He added, "We didn't want a mandate. The mandate — you just can't do that."

"I will rehire every patriot that was fired with an apology and back pay. They will get their back pay and an apology from our government," he declared as the crowd loudly applauded.

The Republican presidential nominee said he hopes the former military service members now have "great jobs" while "making a lot of money" but hopes they want to come back.

"The mandate stuff should have never happened," he said to the rallygoers.

As of October 2023, only 43 of the fired 8,000 service members have rejoined the military following the repeal of the vaccine mandate.

Several groups, including First Liberty Institute and New Civil Liberties Alliance, have sued over the federal vaccine mandates and unconstitutional COVID-19 executive action.

While speaking during the rally, Trump also criticized the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the military and its morale.
