    Former atheist, dealing with old biases

    Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. The more you read, the more you listen to his Word, the more your faith grows James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. The...

    How do you interpret the Bible?

    I ponder the same at times, however, I keep in mind a few verses which help shed some light. 1 Samuel 15 is in reference to King Saul at this point and the LORD did command him to do such as you had said. He didn't do as God had instructed him and left Agag alive as well as the best sheep and...

    Just what is not living in sin exactly?

    Suggestion overruled as the scriptures state..... 2 Timothy 3:16-17 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. You...

    I've realized I'm angry

    Though I don't know the specifics aside from your brief words, I can empathize as my grandfather passed away several months ago. Throughout the endeavor I saw God preparing my dad and grandmother's heart for what was to come, as he had fallen and it took a little over 2 months for the trauma to...

    ARE YOU READY FOR THE MARK OF THE BEAST?

    1611 also has no "J" in its 25 letter alphabet. Semantics there I suppose. This conversation between us hasn't been very fruitful, I'd like to change that. Anyways, hope your Sunday goes well. Though any day is a privilege and a good day to worship in his house. Talk to you soon.

    ARE YOU READY FOR THE MARK OF THE BEAST?

    King James Bible And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. Same King James...

    Saints, Angels, Satan, and Demons: Question to protestants

    When it comes to the efficacy of prayer in faith, having more people praying doesn't necessarily mean it will work MORE, no more than when Moses was told to strike the rock for water and he insisted he hit it twice because he thus lacked faith. God was not happy. Numbers 20:11-12 And Moses...

    ARE YOU READY FOR THE MARK OF THE BEAST?

    First and foremost....doesn't say it. Revelation 6:8 8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the...

    ARE YOU READY FOR THE MARK OF THE BEAST?

    In using the interpretations that are not my own, but the Spirit that has led many to produce many varied editions of scriptures to further advance the gospel, some translations propose that Jesus said he would be with us until the end of this AGE. Like as in ERA in reference to the kingdom...

    Not knowing with religion is true

    To paraphrase an old preacher of mine, Dr. John Rawlings, he said there are only two religions. There isn't many, only two. There isn't Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sekhism, Buddhism, and the like. Only two, the religion of Jesus Christ, and the religion of the devil.

    When do the last days end?

    It's not my word. I mean it's not as if I came up with it all by myself. The Holy Spirit. :) But you're welcome. People too often look forward to the end days, as if it will somehow be an answer to problems, be a saving etc...When you keep in mind that you would be looking forward to a lot of...

    When do the last days end?

    I do not see it as something else. Just more I suppose. I see it as having more than one application depending on the time period. Hence if in Noah's day, it was a flood, if in Jesus day, Pentecost, and in the very last days, fire. Luke 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what...

    When do the last days end?

    I've taken it to mean that the spirit poured out on all flesh is a bit more grandiose in terms of extent. Whereas the spirit being poured out during Pentecost was the indwelling spirit specific to each believer. The spirit can be seen being poured out prophesied in God's word in Genesis during...

    Daily Devotion: A Biblical View of Taxes

    just some fyi. "If you think a 35% tax rate is high, try 94%. The consequences of the attack on Pearl Harbor still reverberate today, in dozens of unseen ways -- including how Americans pay the taxes that support the national security apparatus that works to prevent such an attack from...

    The Pastor King (New)

    I've said what I've said. I need not reexamine them to understand what I said. That would imply that I did not understand what I was saying when I typed it. I've read every post of yours. And mine. There is no room for a pastor in your argument at all whether modern or not. I have not...
