This is not complicated. If a person who genuinely loves God and gives their own life over to Him and receives salvation and continues to practice their faith and growth in Christ then they show they love God. Those who say they are saved but by their fruits show nothing of Christ then they were...

My plan everyday is to pray to God with a sincere heart, no parlor tricks or long winded repetitious speeches, just be real. If you truly love Him do so with all your heart and your soul and your mind, only then will you be able to be a servant to God and others.

I do agree with some things that Calvin has said, but wouldn't declare myself a Calvinist. There are some very good Reformed teachers and pastors that use some references to Calvin even if declaring their churches Reformed Baptist, Non- Denominational, etc.. Calvin himself would be horrified if...

I believe scripture. If someone chooses to not believe say creation, starting in Genesis 1 or 2 or 3, when do you start believing it? If you can't trust scripture then how can you even have a basic understanding of God? How do you even know what God deems sin, how he deals with people, why he...

The question was how do we determine sin? If we understand what sin is, it's because of the scriptures. It teaches us what God deemed sin, what Jesus said was sin, so go there first. That was the point, then as you read you are guided by the spirit who helps us in our understanding, but without...

People need to remember voting for Hilary is not a vote for a 'new' abortion law. Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court past the law in 1973. That's over 40 years ago! It has never been reversed not even with a Republican president. Trump himself is a supporter of gay rights and abortion. He just...

Didn't David in Psalm? I think it might be better to pray that your enemies come to the truth and glorify the Father.

I think 'listening to the Holy Spirit' is great but not new, and certainly not the only way to know what is or isn't sin. I think we need to be guided by scriptures first and foremost, then listen to the Holy Spirit. Sometimes people believe the Spirit is speaking when in reality they are...

From a Christian perspective I prefer the hymns, like the Psalms, but all scripture is great. Meditative? Yes, I meditate on God's word everyday. When you read scripture it's all worth pondering over since it is the living word. No special tricks with God, He reveals himself through the...

Perhaps you should look into a Reformers church.

1. Circumcision is not a command but some choose to do it for health reasons, it's up to the individual. 2. Eating pork is a personal choice like eating shellfish or deer or anything. In the New Testament Christians were not under dietary restrictions. Colossians 2:13-17

I think one thing to think about is what is sin? It's not just a violation of God's law or disobedience, but it is a product of the flesh. Sin in any form is still sin, but the sin itself and the consequences according to scripture is definitely not all the same. Just as there are different...

Thank you so much, I appreciate that. I still am not really sure where I should be or which forum is like the main one. I try to find the newest posts, but I see that many comment on posts that are very old still. I hope I can contribute something positive for the glory of God.:)

Revelation 21:8 - lake of fire, second death Matthew 25:46

Well if you read the book called Foxe's Book of Martyrs the answer would be a definitive no, many Christians died. But there has been times when for whatever God's purposes he saves those he wishes to continue to use. Look how many times he saved Peter and Paul. Many don't think about Sodom and...

Just because Jesus doesn't sit on the couch next to me doesn't cause me to doubt of my relationship with him. I don't physically hear him, but I can say for sure that God makes His presence known in my life. I often find things that are what some call coincidences. I have some non believers in...

God not only judged people guilty of sin in the old testament but also in the new. Remember when Ananias and Sapphira is found in Acts 5 and God immediately passed judgement? We could ask why? Why wouldn't God give them time to repent? It is God warning the early churches that he will not...

There is an article at the 'Times of Israel' website (http://www.timesofisrael.com/unesco-adopts-another-resolution-erasing-jewish-link-to-temple-mount/) that had me asking the question; How can they decide to ignore archeology? Are these United Nation boards the final say, or can they appeal...

According to the latest polls Hilary is going to be the next president.

If you are voting for a candidate that holds to Christian morals and values, neither candidate is fit. If Trump is elected he will not be able to reverse same-sex marriage, or abortion. He will not be able to keep out immigrants either. He thinks all superpowers should have nukes, and wants to...
