    When People Say Nothing, What Does That Mean?

    I think this could also be a situation where Jesus' advice regarding helping others is concerned."1Be careful not to do your' acts of righteousness before men to be seen by them .if you do you will have no reward from your Father in heaven...3.But when you give to the needy do not let your left...

    finding a new pastor

    It's difficult to put a time frame on something as important as this.It also depends on whether or not the church is "pastor driven" or not.By this I mean "getting the right pastor fills the pews".Also, what is the church policy regarding the capabilities of Elders delivering "sermons and...

    I'm terrified.

    I think your situation is no different to a lot of Christian marriages.The problem being that the behaviour of the parties fall outside or falls short of what is expected by Christ as written by Paul in Ephesians 5:22-33.The Christian marriage differs from other Religions in that the husband...

    Am I still a "Christian"?

    I personally feel that none of us can call ourselves "'Christian' enough" as Christ himself says "16 Now a man came up yo Jesus and asked ' Teacher what good thing must I do to get eternal life.?'17. 'Why do you ask me about what is good?'Jesus replied. 'There is only One who is good.If you...

    Why are unbelievers sometimes nicer than believers

    I sincerly believe that just being human is not what Christ has in mind ,and the goal set by Him for us is to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind38.This is the first and greatest commandment.39.And the second is like it:'Love your neighbour...

    Is running my small business sinful?

    I would think let your conscience guide youthat still small God given voice within hour very heart via the "Holy Spirit" (I Cor 2:6-16).Aslo whether or not your business atmospher as a Christian is a person of the "light" as oppossed to the "Dark"in the case with the "Shrewed...

    What did Jesus mean "If you love me you will keep my commandments?"

    If we look at John 17 ,Christ assures God that He (Christ) has taught the disciples everything He was sent to teach them "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world.They were yours you gave them to me .Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.8.For I...

    The Bible's Compatibility with Theistic Evolution

    I just don't know.I think I will just settle for "why" God created the universe and all that it contains and not "how" He did it.Theories to try and accommodate scientific conjectures with Christianity have thus far proven zero.Much as they cant prove the existence of God.

    Saved by Faith or grace?

    The way I understand it ,is that by "grace" i.e because the Lord chooses to give it,we also receive "faith" as a "gift" in terms of Eph 2:8.In other words "faith" is not something we choose to generate from ourselves (subjectively) it is objectively given by God due to His loving kindness and...

    What kind of man is God...?

    The finite which is us "fallen boys and girls"(Gen 3),will never understand the "infinite" which is God and the concept of the trinity.Maybe we will understand when God chooses to reveal it to us when He deems it so.There are are things which Christ did not even know in His human form such as...

    Immortality by 2045?

    They will be "immoral" that's for sure,if we get there.This reminds me of Gen.11 "Tower of Babel" stuff.How can one take on God when He clearly states "for when you eat of eat you will surely die."(Gen 2:17b).

    House Church pressured. Imprisoned since 2012. Imprisoned and harrassed.

    Seems the Antichristian is just getting stronger and stronger. "Revelation 17:12,13,16,17; ' And the ten horns which thou sawest are the ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.These have one mind, and shall give their power and...

    Is God Yahweh,Jehovah or LORD?

    Thanks for all your inputs folks.From what I've read here so far, it seems that one cant is too dogmatic.Somehow this reminds me of Paul's ratio(reasoning) in "6.He who regards one day as special does so unto the Lord...8.If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord...live...

    Is God Yahweh,Jehovah or LORD?

    I was interested how to learn how each of us here understands God's "name" as used in various Bibles, out of the three choices above?

    Immortality by 2045?

    God is infinite Man is finite and as God warned: "but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."(Gen 2:17)We all know what happened after that.The only way to immortality no matter what Satan may throw at us .Christ maintains "The...

    Why Does Sin Have to be Punished?

    "Discipline is not the same as punishment, but discipline is fairly (equally) given to those who correctly accept Loving discipline as compared to those who are punished in part for rejecting the Loving discipline." I believe although we are "justified" Rom 3:26.Whether by baptism "of water and...

    Are All Men Created Equal?

    Yes, it's the world where people gauge you for what you have.The Christian life is different or it should be where in Christ "28.There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs...

    if we are sons of God, are we gods too?

    And made in the image of God, one should be proud of that fact no matter how the world sees or discriminates against you, simply for what you are.

    Are All Men Created Equal?

    No we are definitely not equal.I believe it was Thabo Mbeki who said "Nowhere in this world will you make the poorer rich by making the rich poorer."
