    LDS Are there false teachers in the world?

    2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. I did not claim my faith to be superior to anyones. Christ himself is superior to all...

    LDS Are there false teachers in the world?

    What do you mean by condemning, or in what context? I'm sorry if it came off that I was condemning anybody. That is not where I am trying to go with any this. What I am referring to mainly are people with good intentions but lacking in discernment to make sure what they have heard or received...

    LDS Are there false teachers in the world?

    I agree with Bettercallpaul on this. I think we had better believe that Satan is out to deceive more than ever, as in Matt. 24:24, For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." Even we in the body of Christ can be...

    From the mouths of babes...

    I was sitting down with my kids the other day for prayers before bed. My daughter is 7 and my son is 4. He was playing on the floor with his fire truck and was wearing his fireman hat that he loves to play with. My son is always watching fire truck videos on Youtube. We sat in a triangle holding...

    Should I witness to pagans and witches or not?

    Guano. Pretty true response. Off topic. Your profile picture is really interesting. Can you explain why you chose that image? Sorry for the random question.

    Prepping and The Rapture

    I know many of us a believers have different viewpoints on the rapture. I am respectful to all, but my personal view is that of a pre-trib rapture. I got heavy into prepping. I have a wife and two kids and have been really into end times prophesy since I was saved as a teenager. I'm 32 now. I...

    Should I witness to pagans and witches or not?

    Please know that curses cannot touch a repentant Christian. This means that if you are truly walking with the Lord and not sinning willfully, the curses of witches cannot touch you (Psalm 91). I enocurage you to read Psalm 91. However, if the Christian is in willinful sin, then their annointing...

    Should I witness to pagans and witches or not?

    Hi, there. I am a pentacostal and have served abroad in a country where witchcraft is openly practiced. I would like to enocurage you by our Great Commission. "Go into ALL the world and preach the good news to EVERY creature. I was told similar things by other Christians and even by the church I...

    Universalism...why not?

    I agree with your closing statement. I believe there are different levels of glory and responsibility in the kingdom of heaven for faithfulness. And I also believe in the eternal condemnation of those who do not know Christ or do the will of the Father while on earth, as Jesus stated in Matt...

    Universalism...why not?

    Here are a couple of verses which explain where I am coming from: Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. Acts 15:29 The jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down trembling before...

    Universalism...why not?

    So are you suggesting that ALL people are saved automatically without the need repentance from sins or the confession of faith in Jesus Christ?

    Universalism...why not?

    I do agree. This is the base of the gospel message. That it is available to all. I believe, however, that it is on the condition of accepting Christ based on 1 Cor. 1:2, "I am writing to God’s church in Corinth, to you who have been called by God to be his own holy people. He made you holy by...

    Universalism...why not?

    To go to heaven does not mean to have money or to be economically poor. It means I am not sure what you are trying to say here. I appreciate your input but am not sure we are understanding each other. What I was trying to at there was that I believe the term "gentile" refers to everyone else...

    Universalism...why not?

    The scripture in Rev. 20, "10 Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever." Jude 1:7, "Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of...

    Universalism...why not?

    This is a hard topic, because we are dealing with the issue that God is love, but at the sametime the reality of eternal condemnation after death. Romans 1:20 says, "20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his...
