    Worldliness

    I hear you, there are a lot of things I struggle with myself. There is something one person said some time ago and it makes sense. We live sinning all of our lives out of habit so when we get saved we don't just stop doing what we've been naturally accustomed to all of our life. It's like being...

    Worldliness

    Oh and one more thing, you shouldn't feel guilty for worldly thoughts. Christ endured temptation. There is no sin in having corrupt thoughts pop in your head, but there is sin in building a nice little fence around it so you can keep it safe in there. C.H. Spurgeon once said, You can't keep...

    Worldliness

    Rom 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Rom 14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for...

    Does God Hate the Reprobate?

    Not likely in the sense that he is fond of them. Rom 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: Mat 23:31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them...

    Propitiation

    Not to be a stick in the mud, but I remember an interesting argument as far as "mankind deserves salvation therefore all men have the opportunity". The angels that fell got no saviour, what makes man special?

    why is there no laughing?

    Luk 6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh. (Laughter is definitely not a bad thing, but I agree with the others that the somberness of his message made the writers feel to leave situations with him laughing out. I'm pretty...

    Honestly, what God allows us to go through is almost evil...

    I'm a day late and a dollar short, but I think i'll reply. Your very first post reminds me of wilderness Israel. Exo 14:10 When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel...

    Are we going to explore the universe when the Kingdom of God comes?

    Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. Rev 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it...

    Atheists

    When someone says they are an atheist it doesn't make me surprised or disappointed etc. etc. etc. For some I can understand their atheism. Some were raised by hypocritical or harsh religious family members, others cannot grasp the idea as to why there is so much evil in the world. Ultimately I...

    Pentecostalism

    I do believe a pentecostal can be calvinist. Where (most) baptists and pentecostals differ is on the gifts of the spirit. The majority of baptists believe they ceased back then. Pentecostals do not. You have some denominations of pentecostals that believe that if you don't speak in tongues you...

    My Pastor Is A Calvinist....But

    The reason Calvinists evangelize is because that's the way God wanted it done. He knocked the apostle Paul off of his donkey and blinded him. If God wants someone, he'll get them. While God could knock everyone off of their donkey/car and blind them, here is what Paul says is the method for...

    For people who do not believe in life on other planets

    Personally I feel that there are lot of planets out there, dormant. May or may not have life. Waiting to be used for God's glory in the future, probably after we come back.

    When God calls the sinner to salvation the sinner is given the choice at that moment

    Deu 29:2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; Deu 29:3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great...

    The Omniscience of God

    I don't think there's a problem with man having free will (I believe in limited free will, man can choose to eat a sandwich at lunch but can't choose to make pain go away on it's own or choose God through his own) I always found this interesting... Act 4:25 Who by the mouth of thy servant...

    Is it wrong to pray for death?

    I know that your question has been answered but I wanted to add this. 2Co 1:8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 2Co 1:9 But we had the sentence...

    Check this out... Joh 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. Joh 2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, Joh 2:25 And needed not that any should testify of...

    The Kingdom of God is in you?

    I'm pretty sure when he means the kingdom he's talking about himself. Shortly after he says the kingdom is in the midst of them he talks about how people will desire to see his day and not see it. And about how you shouldn't really expect to see it until... Luk 17:24 For as the lightning, that...
