    Living by the Spirit's Power

    AMEN!! AMEN!! AMEN!! :clap: I have not posted for a while because of the tone that seemed to be in the majority of posts. I sent several scriptures to encourage a more positive forum, but they seemed to fall on deaf ears . I am personally very encouraged to know that I am not alone...

    Is it in the Bible?

    That is exactly where it is from. I knew from my studies of the scriptures that it was not in there, but did not know where it was from. I just found out myself from a forum on quotes.

    Is it in the Bible?

    For several years I have heard my brothers and sisters in Christ make the statement - "The Bible says, that God helps those that help themselves." Does anyone know if this quote is from the Bible and if so, where it is?

    Garden of Gethsemene(spelling?)

    The difference between the Bible and a history book is that it is the Living Word of God not simply an account written by man's own knowledge. 2Tim_3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

    Predestination (I think...)

    TRAV0127 Thank you for your apology and concern, but please know that my post regarding comments on this forum were not directed at you personally. I know you were not trying to discourage anyone or put them down or lead them away from Christ. Your question was a good one - the balance of...

    Predestination (I think...)

    "You shall not murder." Exodus 20:13 The ten commandments and Jesus teachings in the New Testament tell us to love one another, be kind to one another . . . HOW COULD IT BE HIS WILL FOR US TO MURDER ONE ANOTHER OR ASSAULT ONE ANOTHER? When we do these things to one another - we...

    Predestination (I think...)

    I VERY STRONGLY believe that our God was in control in the beginning of this world, is currently in control of each and everything that happens and will be in control in the end. If God is not in control - who is?? . . . man? . . . satan? . . .chance? No THANK YOU !! Isaiah 46:9-11 "My...

    do we give the devil to much credit?

    quote: I know that all Good comes from God and all bad comes from the devil. Things that appear bad, at the time it is happening, can come from God and things that, at the time, appear good can come from Satan - he is a deceiver. Our God is not only a God who heals, but he is also a...

    Other than the Bible, what book do you consider valuable in your spiritual growth?

    Kay Arthur's book on LORD, I want to Know You - it is a study of the Scriptures on the Names of God. I have drawn closer to God by claiming His names and learning more about His attributes.

    Closer you get to God - Tempted more?

    Satan does not have to tempt those souls that are already his. I once heard a man tell the following story: There were two guys playing golf and one of them said "He wished Satan would just leave him alone and quit tempting him all the time." The other man said "I don't know what...

    Deliberate Sin - Not Forgiven?

    Good post Andrew! This is good for us to discuss and understand what the scripture actually states. There seems to be alot of confusion regarding sin. In this thread there are a lot of posts stating that if we sin after salvation - we are doomed. I have been involved in another post...

    Sin

    After I put this thread in I noticed there had been another one on "should we confess our sins" posted in February. The reason I wanted to post this question was because of a response that I received on an earlier post using the scripture from 1 John 3:9 and stating that a Christian cannot sin...

    Sin

    Does the Bible teach that a Christian can live completely above any sin, any failure in his life? Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin. Whosoever abideth...

    Avatars

    I am fairly new to forums and had never heard of an avatar until I joined this one. Some of the avatars are really neat. Where do they come from or how do you make them?

    Healing

    I was not suggesting that we ask God to make a deal to be healed. I do believe that Jesus paid for my sins. I also believe that the scriptures tell us that the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. As long as I live in this fleshly body, Satan will throw temptations my way. My Bible...

    Healing

    JohnR7 - I pray that you will be alive when Jesus returns. I also pray for Jesus' quick return and that it will be within my lifetime. Since not even Jesus knows when He will return, I cannot think that I know when that time will be either. Because of Jesus Christ, I am prepared to be taken...

    Healing

    Because of sin, we will all experience physical death. For the Christian, God has taken the sting out of death and given us VICTORY over death. What I meant by death being the ULTIMATE HEALING is that when the Christian dies a physical death from this earth, we will be with God eternally and...
