    Winning the battle in our thought life. Is it even possible?

    :amen: - typically I don't read long posts, but this one is good. My first thought after reading the title was: yes - as surely as turning on the light overcomes the darkness, Words overcome Thoughts. I know that this is easy enough to grasp, but it is perhaps the most significant & challenging...

    I'd say get there early and sit on the front row ;)

    our babies and children what happens at judgement?

    First off, good thread. It's one of those questions that seems rather challenging to answer. Just a thought:

    “should We Fear The Lord?”

    The OT scriptures were originally in Hebrew, correct? Just to make sure nothing is lost in translation, I pulled the Hebrew definition/translation of fear in that scripture:

    Prosperity and Pastors

    Just a thought, but rather than focusing on making sure pastors don't get too much, shouldn't the focus be on helping all God's children be rich? If the Blessing of the Lord maketh rich, why shouldn't all God's children be blessed? And if pastors are being foolish with their money, didn't God...

    Prosperity and Pastors

    Read it again :cool: . I suppose if you're agreeing that some rich pastors run great Christian founded businesses, and that is good - but there are some that run businesses just to make cash ( and they love money rather than people ), and that is wrong, I completely agree. :)

    Prosperity and Pastors

    So, is business unbiblical? Are we bad stewards if we multiply our money? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are rich preachers who have inappropriate motives. But could we agree that there may be rich preachers who have big businesses, and they might possibly be doing what God wants them to do?

    Prosperity and Pastors

    Also, the blessing of the Lord it maketh rich and addeth no sorrow. Why is money such a big issue - shouldn't it be the pastor's heart & mind that we take into consideration? What's wrong with using the things God has provided - especially if they allow you to get people? Different people are...

    Tithe- Churches

    Of course you don't have to tithe, and you shouldn't feel you are required to. However, for me, when I started to understand the tithe, I wanted to tithe: Who wouldn't want that? Moreover, I don't want to steal from God: Taking something that isn't yours to take, something God told you not to...

    About Heaven...

    I'm exited about when sin is completely gone - think about it, people being born into a sin-free existence. We'll be those people from back when the War was still going on.

    Homosexuality a curse given by God?

    @Houseperish If you feel like noone truly loves you, please remember that I do. My heart would be filled with sorrow if your life ended with suicide. Since this is an online forum, I'm not sure how I can show my sincerity, but please don't take my words lightly.

    Christianity a joke?

    :confused: Does that mean that you don't proclaim youself to be a Christian, and you want EVERYTHING to do with sin? Also, I'm curious as to how many Christians you're talking to in order to come to all these hefty conclusions.
