    Denying Jesus. Affect salvation?

    Even Christ felt deserted by God. I think that this shows us that there are times we will feel abandoned. None of us are perfect. I've found that when I question my faith, after some time passes, my faith becomes stronger. This period in your friends life could make her faith stronger. :angel:

From reading the bible I get the idea that "the Elect" may...

    Does Christ Appear in the Bible Prior to his Birth?

    Does Christ Appear in the Bible Prior to his Birth?

Thanks for any light someone may be able...
