    Help me to understand

    Tavita is right. The leadership of the church is there to lead and teach you. They are to teach you how to stay "covered" and to also pray for you constantly. Paul was Timothy's covering. The spiritual covering comes from the entire church when they pray for one another. I'm apart of the...

    Help me to understand

    It's important to attend church for numerous reasons. To learn the Word of God :preach: To have a spiritual covering To be able to fellowship with others for encouragement :groupray: Don't go off of what you feel. It's good to feel the spirit, but what about when you don't feel God...

    Comparing denominations

    Instead of picking a denomination, I would suggest going to a church and seeing if you like that church. IMHO denominations take the focus off of what's important. I used to go to a Pentecostal church. They taught that you're only saved if you speak in tongues but not all Pentecostal churches...

    A Sin Unto Death

    The only people that should be afraid are those that don't accept Christ. The Children of God know what is going to happen and have no reason to fear. Like Paul said, "To live is Christ, but to die is gain" If we die, remember, it's only the flesh that will die, not our spirit! Don't be afraid...

    A Sin Unto Death

    Coming from NASB Life Application Study Bible - Commentators differ widely in their thoughts about what this sin that leads to death is, and whether the death it causes is physical or spiritual. Paul wrote that some Christians had died because they took Communion "in an unworthy manner" (1...

    God's Wrath

    In my opinion, anger is anger. Even if you decide to add the word "righteous" in front of it, it's still anger. "Righteous anger" sounds as though you are trying to minimize into something less. (hope that didn't sound rude) It sounds as tho you are saying that anger is sinful. It's not! God...

    Just found this site.

    Christian Apologetics & Research Ministries Should definitely help everyone with their lack of understanding in different areas. And it's also just a good read if you have a pretty good foundation in the bible already. Enjoy and Praise God!

    No One Can Judge

    Great post. I agree...the world would be much better if we didn't judge. But we must make sure that we know the difference between judgment and discernment. Coming from NASB Life Application Study Bible: In chapter 7 of Matthew Jesus's statement, "Do not judge," is against the kind of...

    Is God's name Iehovah?

    I agree with rogsr. Our Heavenly father is beyond personal names. He cannot be contained by a name like all the other false gods that were believed to exist.

    Baptism

    Your pastor is your shepherd. You need to follow his leading. If you can't trust him then you should find a pastor that you can trust. That being said, if your daughter feels that she is ready to be baptised and knows the meaning behind it, who are they to say that she is too young. I know the...

    Show me God!

    The First Cause Must be All-Knowing (Omniscient) It is reasonable to assume that the Creator of all that is, knows all about His own creation. In recent history humans have only begun to appreciate the complexities of the atom, of DNA, of the symmetry and harmony of nature’s laws. As Einstein...

    Show me God!

    The First Cause Must be Spiritual (Transcending Space) Logically, we must deduce that an entity outside the universe is the only kind that could have created it. The First Cause may interact with the four dimensions of our spacetime, but it must be beyond them, beyond the physical. Jesus...

    Show me God!

    The First Cause Must be Eternal (Transcending Time) The Creator must exist outside of time. Nothing in the universe can go back before the creation event, but the Creator must, if He started the process. From our perspective He is without beginning or end. No other religious writings tell of a...
