    ARE NON BELIEVERS LOWER IN MORAL CHARACTER THAN CHRISTIANS? Peanut Gallery.

    It all depends on upbringing. I have met many fine men who are not Christian, but have more morals than some Christians I have known for years. Besides, I know a lot of moral religious people and Jehovah's Witnesses that are on their way to hell right now because they believe that you have to...

    Formal Discussion Peanut Gallery thread - Mormonism; Church or Cult

    Besides the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price having dominion over the Word of God, and besides all of the crazy superstitious beliefs they have in things like their magic underwear, what makes the Mormon religion a cult is their belief that Jesus Christ and Satan are brothers. Satan...

    Is the Church of Christ a cult because of their particular view of baptism?

    This belief does not qualify them to be a cult but it is in line with many other Christian denominations that believe in a salvation by works process. What makes a cult a cult is who they believe Jesus Christ is. Jehovah's Witnesses are considered a cult because they believe that Jesus Christ...

    OSASers must believe that God created human robots!

    For one to not believe in the eternal security of the believer, one must also proclaim that it is only by the works of men that a man can be saved; God's power is insufficient. If we are not saved by works, then there is no way that our works can keep us saved. For if one has to live by a law...

    I believe in eternal security but these verses have always stumbled me?

    We may stumble and fall from time to time, but our Lord will always be there to pick us back up. He is the good shepherd who will not allow any of His sheep to be lost.

    I believe in eternal security but these verses have always stumbled me?

    The one thing that these verses are a testimony to, is the fact that man under his own power has no ability to keeping his salvation as he did in acquiring his salvation in the first place. We serve a wonderful God and Savior and by the power of the Holy Spirit we remain in Christ. Through His...

    Earthly Treasures

    Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is...

    Abraham's Tithe: Part of the Salvation Puzzle

    Part of the great message that I have been presenting in all of my blog posts on my website, is that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was indeed the lamb that was slain on the Cross of Calvary for our sins. Jesus was the perfect Lamb of God who came to take away the sin of this world. Upon His...

    Jesus savior of the world

    The death of our Lord and Saviour was indeed sufficient to save all men but the Word of God is very clear that all men will not be saved. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.(Joh 3:16) And...

    Charles Stanley

    All I really know of the guy is what I have heard from him while he was preaching. I heard he was divorced but don't know much other than that. I believe he is a great orator and very knowledgeable in the Word of God and I would not be afraid of reviewing his material if I was engaged in a study...

    Southern Baptist

    They are certainly a denomination, because on many occasions they are in the news for the latest edict that they pass down to their churches. The churches are pseudo independent because they do pretty much what they want, they are a part of the convention and I think that they can't leave the...

    The Greatest Love Story

    Today, I was challenged today on my other blog to tell others about Christ and His gospel as opposed to writing about another topic that had received much attention this last week. The posts I was writing was hitting people hard and it was making them uncomfortable. However, I stopped and...

    Scofield bible?

    I have been visiting several churches in my area lately and have found that many of the Baptist churches are starting to leave the pre-trib and pre-mil positions. I personally still believe that our Lord and Savior will indeed remove His church from the world before the great wrath of God falls...

    We have to trust Jesus as Lord to be saved

    I am not certain what verses of Scripture you are basing that doctrine on. I believe a man who realizes he is sinner against God almighty, would humble himself and ask the Lord for forgiveness, and those who realize the extent of one's own personal depravity, would be the more thankful. Also...

    We have to trust Jesus as Lord to be saved

    One day at the end of the church service, we had a young man come forward to be saved during the invitation. The pastor summoned me to deal with this gentlemen by showing him the plan of salvation. I took the young man through the Roman's Road and into the book of John to explain to him all that...

    Why tithing has not improved my finances

    Every time I receive money, it is a blessing from God, and every time my neighbor lends a helping hand, that is a blessing too. I really appreciated a neighbor once coming over and helping me put new shingles on my roof, and I thanked God for it. I believe it is important that we give because...

    Why tithing has not improved my finances

    Amen. The Christian has one command, and that is to love one another. Unfortunately,we have many pastors today who are occupying pulpits that are telling their people, that the best way to show their love to God is best demonstrated by opening up their wallets and dropping every dollar into the...

    Reformed Baptists

    It is great that your Christian, but how did you become one? Knowing how a man comes to God and understands how he is saved by Him is important. Being a baby Christian is okay for baby Christians, but it is time to grow up and understand how the world of salvation works. To learn how and why God...
