    Anyone interested in attending an online Bible study?

    Are we talking about a Skype-based study or something like that? Pedrito has taken part in two international Skype-based Bible studies. One had a teacher as such, and one had a rotating leadership, the function of which was to keep order by sequencing the queue of people who wanted to say...

    The church got what it wanted, not what it needed

    In Post #28 on Page 2, JackRT said: “other American nations”??? What might they be? If the countries within the North and South American continents are meant, why ignore the countries in the rest of the world? It all seems strange to me.

    Hades and the Bible

    In Post #20 on Page 1, Ringo84 stated: Perhaps Ringo84 (and maybe rstrats) have read the following Scriptures. Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our...

    Hades and the Bible

    Pedrito thanks twin1954 for his comments in Post #15 on Page 1. However, Pedrito, like rstrats, would like to ask for some clarification regarding the statement: The reason actually given in the Luke 16 passage for the parabolic destinations of the rich man and the poor man, is (Verse 25)...

    Where Did Lazarus Go When He Died? Did He Go to Heaven and Back?

    yeshuaslavejeff made another noteworthy point in his Post #45 on Page 3: That was in response to thesunisout’s comment in Post #45 on Page 3 regarding Lazarus’ state when he died: It would therefore not seem inappropriate to request of yeshuaslavejeff, that he tell us, invoking “the whole...

    Hades and the Bible

    In Post #9 on Page 1, twin1954 stated: In the light of that, Pedrito would like to ask twin1954, in a non-confrontational manner, three things: 1. What does he understand the parable to mean? 2. When did he reach that understanding? 3. What led him to reach that understanding? Pedrito offers...

    The church got what it wanted, not what it needed

    Please forgive Pedrito if he seems a little naive, but he had a particular notion with respect to the Gospel in our current period of history. Pedrito thought that God was dealing with individuals, not nations. Are nations to be saved, or people? Are nations to offer their bodies as living...

    How do you fight coveting? (10th commandment)

    Hebrews 4:15: “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” Having the feelings is temptation. That is normal. The average person will experience temptation as long as they live. It...

    Where Did Lazarus Go When He Died? Did He Go to Heaven and Back?

    And there we have it. Still no answer to the request posed in Post #38 on Page 2, and repeated in Post #43 on Page 3. In Post #43 yeshuaslavejeff was added to the list from whom explanation was requested. ========================================= However, yeshuaslavejeff made a noteworthy...

    Driving the speed limit

    By their fruits you shall know them? How does the selfishness of speeding tie in with denying oneself, taking up one’s cross daily, and following in the footsteps of the Master? “in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves.” Does that apply to considering the safety of...

    Where Did Lazarus Go When He Died? Did He Go to Heaven and Back?

    In Post#42 on Page 3, yeshuaslavejeff offered: It was good to see that someone is both aware, and honest enough to actually admit, that false tradition is the obstacle that prevents people being able to give unbiased, serious consideration to scriptures that could be presented (regarding...

    Where Did Lazarus Go When He Died? Did He Go to Heaven and Back?

    I find it very interesting, but not necessarily surprising, that after many months, nobody was willing to answer the very simple request in Post #38 on Page 2 (regarding the story of Lazarus and the rich man). It was particularly asked of Job8, ewq1938 and Gunny, but open to all...

    Feeling very isolated

    I have two low-key suggestions for Poppyseed78. ============================================================================================== The first is to do with the chronic pain. There are natural remedies available for all sorts of things, and there may be one to help alleviate her...

    Driving the speed limit

    The Hammer of Witches seems to have the correct perspective. Romans 13:1,2: Titus 3:1: Hebrews 13:17: You will note that I did not speedily post in this thread.

    Question on Baptism

    Regarding baptism, the apostolic practice (and therefore the Scriptural practice) was to baptise people as soon as possible after their profession of faith. Was it not? Actually, there is only one reason that “Bible Believing” churches (and others) choose to not follow the apostolic...

    Can't be saved.... plans

    For Kim and others who may find it helpful … 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 states: I suggest that Kim and others in situations like hers, rather than feel that their relationship with God has somehow been irrevocably compromised, might consider themselves simply in the wood-hay-stubble category...

    Is there forgiveness?

    Hello Kim, I will ask you for clarification on one thing you said. In post 27 on Page 2, when you said “...I have yet to become His child. Just don't know how to do that after doing what I did”, did you mean become His child in a way that is commonly stated, or did you mean taking the specific...

    Is there forgiveness?

    I would suggest that yeshuaslavejeff hit the nail on the head when he said: Your concern, Kim, is a sure sign that you have not committed the “sin unto death”, and that you are back on the expressway even if you took an unfortunate side track for a while. Consider the example of one person...

    Anyone else sense a spirit of bitterness here?

    Wow! Now I'm famous! Cool!

    Anyone else sense a spirit of bitterness here?

    Wow! In Post # 52 on Page 3, bettercallpaul said: I'd never even thought of the concept. But now it's been mentioned, I realise that I could well be on the “CF hate or enemy list” of a number of people. Why do I think that? Have I been discourteous? On the contrary. However, I do ask...
