    Atonement for Jews

    Thanks to all who responded to my questions. Anyone who has the wisdom, knowledge and understanding to answer is more than welcome to reply. We are humans with very little wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Therefore, we often fall into sin unknowingly as often as we fall into sin...

    Atonement for Jews

    Thank you for clearing some of this up for me. I just want a better understanding. With that said, does this mean that the work of salvation is in the hands of the individual? The saving is not done by God but by that individual, through their own works? Please tell me if I got this right...

    Atonement for Jews

    In the past, the law required the blood sacrafice of an unblemished lamb to atone for sins. If Jews don't believe that Jesus was this lamb sacraficed for all sins, what do they do now for atonement of their sins? Were the laws given to Moses changed? Or is there a "do it yourself" salvation...

    The Unborn movie

    Would a Christian film that portrays the nature of angels as they go around helping people and preaching the Word while demons are destoying lives, defame the name of God and do very violent acts be acceptable to Christian viewers? Would you watch it if all of these elements were in the movie...

    The Unborn movie

    Has anyone seen this movie? What are your thoughts? I'm trying to produce a high concept Christian film. How much violence in a Chistian film would you tolerate? Would you be accepting of such scenes like in "The Exorcist" or "The Passion of the Christ"? Why or why not?

    Any evidence for god/gods?

    I pray God will bestow onto you His heavenly gifts of understanding, knowledge and wisdom. The worlds beyond ours and the things of heaven could never be understood by men of this world because they are of this world. To seek heavenly things and to seek God one must reject this world...

    Questions I need answers to!

    A man-made religion is among the very results of our sinful nature, and God will take away sight from those that say they can see when they have not heard. Would a blind man trust another blind man to help him cross a busy street? Can a saved man save an unsaved man from the wrath of God? The...

    Questions I need answers to!

    We can research the Bible, study and memorize everything in it, and come to a conclusion of what is true to us and how we ought to live our lives and how we ought to worship. Then we can go to the next person who has done the same, perhaps, had done so for a lot longer than you have and had...

    I just don't know anymore

    If an individual is God's, he will hear His voice. Faith will come by HEARING the Word of God. No miracles or manifestations of any proof will ever convince anyone until they HEAR the Word of God.

    Questions I need answers to!

    Mark, I deeply understand your frustration. I wish I had a simple answer. When Jesus was with us here in our world He helped open our spiritual eyes. He taught us about some heavenly things but never went into great detail because for those of us that could barely grasp the things of our...

    Lack of interest in evangelism

    Surely there are some threads that could have been placed in this one. There are so many forums and depending on how anyone writes about whatever, it could be placed almost anywhere. What could you contribute to this particular forum?

    More Sex

    What does marriage mean to you? In the beginning, didn't God bring Eve to Adam and weren't they ordained? For some of us marriage and remaining pure until one is married is still sacred, as it should be. Your chastity is among your greatest gifts to one another. Deep in your hearts, if...
