    How many times did you almost die?

    Hello. Three times come to mind, but there were others. 1. I was on a golf course walking and golfing and talking to a friend. We turned a corner a bit to the right. About 10 seconds after we turned the corner, a huge (I mean HUGE) dead tree on the edge of the fairway fell into the fairway from...

    I want to change my Muslim name

    I can understand that you are considerate of your parent’s feelings. A name is a label that we connect our identity with, however. The name/names you were given are not associated in your mind with a Christ-follower. Of course, the New Testament especially sites Greek names of outstanding...

    Basis of salvation, not Jesus, the bible.

    I didn’t realize both doctrines/examples were in the Bible. That’s interesting. You know, I get your point on the importance of the Holy Spirit leading us into all truth, and being a Pentecostal I aught to. I also think it’s equally possible that it was purposely left ambiguous because the...

    Basis of salvation, not Jesus, the bible.

    Hello Michael, This question reminds me of a newcomer to this forum (newer than me, lol) who introduced himself by stating that he was basicly here to help deliver people from an insidious wrong doctrine. He explained about how countless scores of people have been misled about their salvation...

    What should your middle name have been?

    Don’t we all feel that way sometimes? I guess the Apostle Paul would disagree with you. I take comfort in seeing the people God is willing forgive and make new, such as Paul, formerly named Saul.

    This attraction people have to others with the same physical characteristics is a bit entertaining to see. Two of my son’s friends have red hair. Both sets of parents are friends of mine. All four parents are red haired. You see it a lot, if you’re paying attention. I was at a restaurant today...

    Hello LaBella, My beauty standard for all people first of all is that their clothing and body are clean. I don’t really want to smell them while just approaching them. I almost don’t care what you do with your hair. Guys with long hair don’t weird me out; neither do girls with short hair. I...

    FIFA Women's World Cup: US Women's Soccer Team Wins World Cup

    I saw an interview of hers this morning, and she listed one of the reasons she was not accepting the WH visit was one of his postures of “exclusion”. Did President Trump list categories of individuals who may be on the team that should consider themselves excluded from his invitation?

    wearing shoes in church

    In the Old Testament we had certain champions of the faith ordered to remove their shoes, because of being on holy ground. Apparently the feet were cleaner than the shoes, the shoes bearing the dirt of the world. In Jesus time, he had the disciples remove their footwear so He could wash their...

    Trump's war on bibles

    Sure tariffs perhaps, but I agree that a higher cost for the written Bible won’t matter much. They were expensive already. My guess is that electronic versions of the Bible will and probably already far outnumber printed versions anyway, as far as what people actually read and study.

    Please pray for me

    I’ll say this before someone else does. You’re not good enough for the Lord, neither am I, neither is anyone. He opens His arms of love to us anyway! Jesus’ finished work on the cross is enough for God to accept us. He’s not drumming His fingers in disgust, waiting for you or me to shape up...

    Why are most Christians so accepting of magic

    I know what you’re saying Tryphena Rose, it seems that the theme of magic in television and movies is more widespread. I still remember the old sitcom “Bewitched”, produced in the 1960’s. It’s been around for quite awhile, it just seems to be a bit more prevalent and sinister than even 10 years...

    Explain this

    My take on the “generation” thing is that mankind post-flood is one generation, pre-flood is another generation. (Somewhere in here the word “antidiluvian” goes, but I’m not sure where). On the other hand, if Jesus the man, prior to his assension into heaven did not know the day or hour, then...

    Explain this

    “1) "For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done. “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” Very plainly Jesus...

    Struggling a lot with my mental health and desperate for help

    Hello again Andrew, I just meant, especially, something that is relevant to the issue that you might lay before Him. Perhaps a bit of peace and healing of emotional hurts in no way that you can explain, an actual word or phrase that comes to your mind which brings hope or direction or relief of...

    Prayer for severe Rhinitis please

    Yes, I agree with your prayer “Mydreams” for jude77778, and I also lift jude77778 up to you, Lord God. I pray right now, in the name of Jesus, that you will look upon the suffering of this child of yours with mercy and release your healing power and bring him relief. He’s called upon You, Lord...

    Struggling a lot with my mental health and desperate for help

    Yes, the hurtful things people say can really cling to us. I forgive people (especially the really hurtful stuff) because Jesus commands his followers to forgive everyone, since God has forgiven me everything. One thing I do on occasion, which is really powerful (taught me by my pastor), is to...

    Why study the Bible? Can’t I just read and heed?

    Great comeback. Listen, I just had a heavy-rev about the scripture that your are referring to. In your prior post you mentioned Eve being deceived by the serpent in Genesis. Now consider Matthew 7:15: “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are...
