    Devotional: False Prophets

    I agree completely. If you obsess over what’s false and try to demonstrate its falseness it reveals that you aren’t focused on what is true.

    Devotional: False Prophets

    Thanks for your opinion! This is good. I think I need to make my point a little more clear also. I’ll have to be better about how I word these in the future. Yes, building up your craft and influence is a good thing. I don’t mean to say that this in itself is a sin. You want to make sure that...

    Devotional: False Prophets

    Yes, and I actually was about to edit that in to include your information before you posted it. I believe that false prophets mainly means what you are saying and that's what God's purpose was in including the term in the Bible. However, I think that false prophets can also distort truth...

    Devotional: False Prophets

    We live in an age now where simplicity is often recognized as authenticity. However, is simplicity always authentic? The simplistic ways I'm referring to are life hacks, encouraging quotes, Instagram influencers, YouTubers, and so much more to "brighten up your day!" While not all influencers...

    Hey guys, it's been a while but I'm back. If you don't remember me, I joined here two years ago and wrote on here for a couple of months or so. I'm back now and I plan to stay that way this time! I'm going to be posting blog style posts and devotions whenever I can on here for everyone, and I...

    Was Jesus the God of the Old Testament?

    They were, always was, and still are the same. God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit: The Trinity. God created man in His own image, and He had said "Let's create man in our own image." This indicates He wasn't just making everything into being on His own, He had someone their with Him and that was Jesus...

    If a Christian commits suicide, is he/she still saved?

    Anyone who believes in Christ, admits they have sinned, and confesses their sins to Him are saved. No matter what kind of sin you commit from that point on, you still go to Heaven even if it is suicide. The best example of this is Samson. Samson committed suicide but right before he did, he...

    Perfection

    Anyone who is a Christian is perfect. Perfect in the way of they will be. Every child of God is perfect because Christ paid for our sins. If you honestly believe in Jesus, you don't have to answer for your sins to anyone but God, even though God has completely redeemed you and has washed away...

    King Ahaz statement about not testing God

    I come to everyone on this forum posing a question. I am confused about what this statement means. Isaiah 7:12 - But Ahaz said, "I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test." The reason I'm confused is is I'm trying to figure out if he is sinning by saying this, because the verses...

    You Must Give 10% of Your Gross Income to the Church?

    I understand what you are saying. I agree with this too, but not for tithing. A lot of the laws of the Old Testament were for the Israelites to follow until Jesus Christ died. But where in the Bible does it say that tithing no longer applies? It may not say that 10% is required, but it does say...

    You Must Give 10% of Your Gross Income to the Church?

    I honestly think that trying to take verses too literally is a mistake. In that case, all of the Old Testament is something that shouldn't be followed, because if it's before Jesus' time why should we follow it? There are some wise sayings in the Old Testament that believers are still supposed...

    You Must Give 10% of Your Gross Income to the Church?

    I'm not going to sit here and argue and try to put it down your throat. That's the words I live by and I think they are important for us believers.

    You Must Give 10% of Your Gross Income to the Church?

    Deuteronomy 14:22-26 and Luke 18:12 read it in NIV or NLT, to match up more to how we are supposed to interpret it.

    You Must Give 10% of Your Gross Income to the Church?

    I think if God said to give 10% to Him, we should honor that. You may not be giving it with an open heart every time, but God wants that from you. He wouldn't have put it in the Bible if He didn't know it should be done. Do you think that a lot of the Israelites were 100% committed every time...
