Those that say that you cannot be a christian and go thru what you went thru are totally wrong. If a christian gets away from the Lord, remember that until we're in heaven with the Lord, we are capable of anything. We still have and will always have the old nature until the Lord comes or we're...

Faith alone saves us. Not baptism, not works! If someone says they are saved and show no fruit, "works', then I would question their salvation. But to imply that we have to do works or get baptised in order to be saved, that, to put it bluntly, is an insult to God. That is saying that what...

This is a little off subject, but as a trucker I get aproached all the time asking for money. I give everyone a dollar because you can't get drunk on a dollar but you can get a sandwich off the dollar menu at most places. They almost always say "God bless you" which then gives you an opening...

I'm a truckdriver and I smoke a pipe. I never smoke inside the truck, house, etc. It's not addicting because if it's 100 degrees out or freezing I skip it, no problem. I smoke purely for relaxation at the end of the day. It's just like having a cup of coffee in the morning.

What does Paul mean when he said he was caught up to the 3rd heaven. I believe it was Paul himself that was caught up, but I've never figured out what he meant by 3rd heaven. 2nd corinthians 12

I use the KJV and Darby version. I was raised reading the KJV and find others just sound odd to me. But, as a truckdriver, I meet many wonderful christians that have never read the KJV, but they got saved and live Godly lives. So I have no problem with other translations.

If you're saying that you can be saved, but not believe that Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, thru Him we recieve salvation. Jesus said "no man comes to the father but by me". That is not doing or working, it is simple acceptance of His word, belief in Him, having you're sins forgiven...

I believe baptism shows the world that we're identified with Christ. To say that you have to be baptised to be saved means that we're DOING some work to be saved. There is nothing we can do to work for our salvation. We are saved by grace, belief in the Lord Jesus Christ.

I could'nt read all the posts, too many, but I do know it is very easy to say, i've been called to be a pastor. You can go to a seminor or bible school and that doesn't automatically make you a pastor. There are many who have no business behind a pulpit. I know we all sin from time to time...

In acts 5 Paul said "we ought to obey God rather then men". We're told to go into the world and spread the Word. I'm not saying disobey the law, but God's word is above the law. It's like if the law say's abortion is legal, that doesn't make it ok.

More and more true scientist's are coming to the conclusion that there has to be a creater. Even if they don't believe in God. Animals adapt to there envirement, but that is not evolution.

I was raised thinking that the KJV was the only bible to read. I still stick with the KJV because I've been reading it so long that other translations sound odd to me. But, as a truck driver, I meet a lot of people who have never read the KJV. And yet they got saved and live very godly lives...

Thanks, Voltaire was the name I was looking for.

I've said this before but we're told to look and wait for His coming. If we have to go thru the tribulation I'm not looking for His coming but rather dreading the start of the tribulation. I personly am waiting for His coming with joy. I have a friend who every time he emails me he ends with...

Hi all, I'm looking for a person, I think he was Russian, who said in his life time there would be no more bibles. I was told that after he died his house was turned into a printing press for bibles. Not sure if that's true but if anyone knows his name please let me know. Thanks

When God does a work, it's perfect. If you're truly saved you cannot be lost. But we can fall away as in not walking in communion with Him. Then we lose the joy of salvation and start doubting our salvation. The Lord allows that to turn our lives around. We cannot work harder to try and...

I didn't read all the posts, but I would just like to mention in reply to the original question about what pastors say, it doesn't matter who says what, we need to be like the Bereans and search the scriptures daily to see if its the truth.

I've mentioned this before but there's a book called "so what's the difference". I'm on the road right now and can't remember the author. It gives the history of a lot of different denominations, cults, etc. It's very helpful if talking to JW's, mormons etc, to have an idea where there coming...

I would just like to say, when others tell me about the bible being written by many different writers over a long period of time, I tell them, If God could create the world, humans and animals, perform many different miracles, and then have a plan where his Son dies and then is raised from...

I prefer the KJV, but I personally know several people that were saved reading the NIV. I would be careful talking bad about other translations. After one is saved and start getting into "strong meat" they can start learning the difference between translations. Burning other translations and...
