    1 Timothy 2:12

    . Do you believe there is a God and that we will answer for the lives we've lived and how we've conducted ourselves?I don't know if there is a god. I know that the God described in The Bible is no benevolent being. "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he...

    1 Timothy 2:12

    Hello again Versesvsvices, I don't know what else can be said or should be said at this point. It appears your position is that all "religions" are the same, so I'd like to have ask some questions, given your response to me earlier, that you will be just fine when you stand before God. 1...

    "islam Is A Peacefull Religion..."

    I see and have seen your point. Yes, Paul was zealous, even to the point of murder, until Christ showed Himself to Paul. Jesus first showed Paul the truth of His Lordship, drew him to His love and forgiveness and Paul's soul was saved. Paul then lived his life for Christ, instead of taking...

    1 Timothy 2:12

    Well said Versesvsvices. We should be challenged to know what we believe and why. I've read through many of your questions and responses to you on this thread and agree that folks have been gracious and informative. I don't want angry words or fruitless conversations and would ask if you...

    Counting the cost...

    Thanks Jen, I think also, reference submitting to authorities and the powers in governments, The Lord said that he was sending His disciples and apostles out into the world as lambs among wolves. I spent 21 years active duty in the military and now 9 years as a police officer and know that...

    1 Timothy 2:12

    You're questions and statements are making me believe you are actually one of two things: 1) Not really a person who is seeking the truth or answers for your life and eternal soul. It appreas you are trying to stir up contention by being adversarial while trying to appear as genuine. It...

    Counting the cost...

    The sovereignty of God can be a hard thing to grasp, understand and submit ourselves to. I believe scripture is very clear, God created all things. He has ordained good and evil. He has appointed some to salvation and others to wrath, some to forgiveness and redemption and other to judgement...

    1 Timothy 2:12

    Hello Versesvsvices, Very interesting thread you started. I care about the truth of God's Word but care less about women teaching or not teaching, having authority or not, over men in the church or otherwise, than I do about your eternal destiny. The first we can discuss and resolve but...

    Do you believe a massive Holy Spirit tsunami is coming?

    Thank you for your reply. I believe we probably differ on where we see the world to be now and what prophetic text says will happen in the world and to followers of Christ in the future. Likely, we differ on how close we are to those times and possibly the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine. I...

    Sinless? 2nd Level Of Sanctification?

    I appreciate the thoughts you've all posted. This is my first time on a forum of any kind and yet, already received my first staff reprimand because someone said I "flamed" them by really just quoting scripture reference a queston on Catholicism? Live and learn I guess. But, I re-read my post...

    Sinless? 2nd Level Of Sanctification?

    I'd prefer not to be labeled a Calvinist but I believe that scripture is clear that God chooses. I know it can be and has been an endless debate and I once heard it said that we may all get to heaven and find that only CalvinisticArmenianists were correct. I don't fully agree with that...

    Sinless? 2nd Level Of Sanctification?

    A coworker, who says her church is non-denominational, but they clearly follow some assembly, pentecostal and holiness teachings from what I've seen, ie; All the ladies have long hair, no make-up or jewelry to speak of, long dresses only. In a conversation about end-times prophecy, she...

    Do you believe a massive Holy Spirit tsunami is coming?

    I agree with Onlybygrace84, if we believe scripture, we should and I do, we know that the days are growing darker and darker. We know that this coming time will "weed" out those who sit in seats at churches but are not saved, do not love The Lord Jesus Christ and are not willing to live and...

    Fake people in Churches? what do y'all think?

    My wife said the same thing about a Baptist church she attended when she was in her 20s. She knew of people who would party it up and sleep around and even be in church bragging to each other how hungover they were on Sunday morning in church. That said.... We are all still works in...

    A question about Catholocism.

    Again, some of the very basic issues and problems are; 1) The elevation of a leader over God's people to the point that he is called, "The Holy Father" Jesus said you have one father, your heavenly Father. My understanding is that, within Catholicism, the apostle Peter was the first...

    A question about Catholocism.

    Tzaousios, I disagree, we do not all bring a filter to our reading of God's Word. Not if we are really students, who then become serious students of His Word, that is part of the problem with Catholicism. In the area I live, we have a "Catholic Channel" on tv. I've watched several times...

    Sabbath was blessed by God and made holy. Sunday was never blessed by God.

    I know these verses have been discussed but they do not lack in clarity...so I don't understand why this debate continues... Colossians 2: '13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14...
