    LGBT- what scriptures do you have?

    Romans 1 (especially vers 27) Homosexuality is an indecent act. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Ephesians 5:31-33 Male and female become one flesh ...see Genesis that this is how people were created. Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13 are the Old Testament references. God hasn't changed on same gender sex being a...

    Why isnt God using me?

    God has spoken through His Word. Looking for God's voice outside of His written word is not what we are called to do. His revelation is complete. Every true believer has the Spirit of God. He is with every believer. We don't need to seek emotional highs. I am very concerned about the...

    Your thoughts on "presuppositional apologetics"

    Presuppositional apologetics is Biblical. I have learned much from Sye Ten Bruggencate who makes things simple, and Tony Miano and others have also used this as well as proclaiming the Gospel. Romans 1 makes it clear that people know God exists, but they suppress the truth in...

    Would the good people who are outside the Church be saved?

    Actually, I don't do just selective reading. I'm just addressing some different issues people may be confusing. First of all, people will have their deeds judged, but Rom. 2:8 also mentions those who do not obey the truth. So, in 1 Cor. 3:10-15 we see that even Christians works are judged...

    Would the good people who are outside the Church be saved?

    Okay, to the others...I do believe in eternal torment...weeping and gnashing of teeth and separation from God and fire and the worm will never die...which is part of the punishment in hell. I just believe there will be degrees of suffering...tormenting of mind and soul and regret as well. I'm...

    Would the good people who are outside the Church be saved?

    Don't worry...I did read Romans 2 ...been reading Romans again lately and am still in it. I've also read note that it is (Ch. 2) dealing with judgment according to deeds. If someone could live a perfect life that would be one thing, but a person is saved by faith...and it is quite clear...

    Would the good people who are outside the Church be saved?

    Okay...go ahead and get mad:sorry:, because I do believe the Bible is the Word of God as it claims. So, I do use the Bible as my authority. The book of Romans makes it clear there is nobody who is righteous on their own(Romans 3:9-20)...righteousness is obtained by faith...and faith comes from...

    What is your religious /faith or non-religious background/history?

    Thank you to everyone for sharing. If someone else wants to share that would be okay too. I think it's good to know a bit about where people are coming from. I wrote some things down to help me in the future, especially since I'm not on the site all of the time. It gives me a clue when I...

    What is your religious /faith or non-religious background/history?

    I had two family members who had nervous breakdowns. It does tend to make one see how they don't have the control they think they do. Still, in those dark times hearing God's Words and realizing just how great His mercy is brought them closer to Him. We are utterly dependent on God. With one...

    What is your religious /faith or non-religious background/history?

    "Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all." (Luke 18:17) To me being a Christian is not just religion, it's a relationship with the Lord. I accepted with how much I understood as a child, but as I grew I struggled, doubted (some of...

    What is your religious /faith or non-religious background/history?

    Since you are interested, I would recommend reading from the Bible to get the most accurate information about Christianity ...to do with sin, repentance, love, forgiveness, etc. I'm sorry that you feel hatred toward people who may either not understand Islam or may not show that they truly...

    What is your religious /faith or non-religious background/history?

    I know I've been away awhile from this forum, but here is my thread about what background in faith or non-faith one has had in their life. Here's mine: I became a Christian at age 5, but I have become stronger in my faith over the years gradually. What is your history? I'm not asking for any...

    What Kind of Cultural Behavior Would Make One of Your Beliefs Open to Listening?

    Lot's daughters got Lot drunk, so that wasn't saying what they did was condoned or right. Multiple wives was not something God endorsed, and you will find instances in the Bible where there were consequences to these immoral relationships one way or another. Sometimes it was unhappiness and...
