You can get lost in all this doctrine dispute, or you can try doing something different and see if you get a different result. Jesus says that if you ask to receive the Holy Spirit it will be given. Luke 11:13 (ASV) If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how...

Too small.

No. But it is interesting to try and discover some of God's secrets that He has given us in the Bible to seek out. In this case, the journey is more instructive than the destination.

Yes. Jesus came to cleanse us so we could be reconciled to God. The forgiveness of sins, does not require much of a relationship, but the trust and faith needed to allow sanctification does.

No music. Only a photo appears when I clicked on the link.

I think hell might be a literal place under the ocean. It seems maybe unclean spirits can't move through water (since they seem to prefer waterless places.) Matt 12:43 "Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find...

, The 10 commandments are still in effect, but when we allow Christ to live in us, God's laws become incorporated into who we are and what we believe and we put obedience to God above even our very life. My death would not offend God. Me flounting His laws does. Jesus repriortizes things.

NOAH'S ARK FOUND in 2010 on Mount Ararat? - YouTube Noah's Ark Found? - The Best Evidence - YouTube Some seem to want us to believe they have.

For me to live debt free for the last decade, it took faith that God will always provide what He wants me to have. Some seasons have been uncomfortable, but He always brings me through to a good season. If I had not been debt free 7 years ago, I could not have obeyed God's call to come to Laos...

All of my cafe tables along the river were seated. My neighbor chose then to light a trash fire. My customers were engulfed in noxious smoke. I cried out to God and less than a moment later, the wind changed and blew the smoke into the neighbor's house. So they ran out with a bucket of...

Read all of Amos (with special attention to Chapter 8). Look not for what God says He is going to do, but look for why He is going to do those things. Really reveals alot about the heart of God.
