You cannot compare eating animals to having guns. God gave Adam dominance over all living creatures to, in other words, eat them. (Genesis 1:28) Also, we're humans and biologically, we need food to survive so I do agree with you that we need to kill animals to survive. My point is, however, how...

I don't think you are considering the context. I was referring to the Christians denying themselves and carrying the cross, which is what Jesus told us to do before following Him. I was not referring to Jesus. I was merely referring to the logical fact IF anyone was "holy," in other words...

Hello, This is sort of irrelevant to the topic we're supposed to be talking about but I was just so encouraged by you. For me, I am surrounded by Indian friends that are not Christians. Most of them have a traditional belief in Hinduism. If you don't mind me asking, how did you come to know...

I agree with you for the most part on the fact that a lot of so called "Christians" don't really live out what Jesus told us to live out or carry the cross by denying themselves. But you do have to understand that sin will always be a part of us whether you are a Christian or not. Carrying the...

Now that's where you're wrong. In Matthew 5:17 Jesus says, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." There is a difference between putting Jesus before the Law and just solely idolizing the Law without the foundation...

I didn't speak against following the law. I just find it of higher value to base your obedience to the law through your faith in Jesus Christ rather than be concerned about being overwhelmed trying to follow every single law.

Never did I say that the OT law should be disobeyed and never did I say that Paul's words were greater than Jesus'. Yes I do understand where you're coming from in that I only specifically quoted Paul and that I didn't put emphasis on the topic of obeying the law, in other words obeying God...

I don't think taking away guns will change anything honestly. Just because guns become illegal, doesn't mean that people who have intentions of doing such thing will stop. The sales in the black market will definitely increase and crimes will happen in some other ways. There are many countries...

Nothing that you do can make God love you more. In the same way, NOTHING THAT YOU DO CAN MAKE GOD LOVE YOU ANY LESS. It is through God's mercy that we are saved. We didn't deserve His Son's sacrifice but He willingly gave Him to us because He knew full well that we are worthless WITHOUT Him...

So essentially by your argument you are saying that none of us are saved by grace. Then "What are we saved by?" is my question. I firmly believe that we are saved by grace. But I think you are drifting off here a little bit with sin. Sin is at our core. Ever since Adam and Eve and the first...

I never said that the violations of the Old Law Covenant incurred death nor did I say that you are punished for what laws you break. I do not see any correlation to what you are saying and what I said because what I was focusing on is that we are no longer bound by the Old Testament Law through...

Hello Daniel, Your question "Is a Christian really subject to the Old Testament Law?" is clearly answered in the book of Galatians written by Paul. The whole 6 chapters explains clearly that Jesus came to free us from the law and that we are only, and I emphasize "only," justified by grace...

I totally agree with you on the fact that most 'healing' preachers are con artists. However, I have to disagree with you on the fact that the gift of healing, or even any other spiritual gifts, does not apply to the current world. You said that but this argument, according to the bible, is...

This is definitely one of the questions that many non-believers bring up when I have a conversation about faith with them. This also goes hand in hand with the question "Do babies go to heaven?" If you are aware of this verse: "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one...

"The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 Glad to meet a brother from Illinois! I know how hard this walk can be. Through my experience, when I felt like I had no one to turn to, it was when I fell into a lot of sin. When God was always near to my...

"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved." Romans 10:9-10 That baptism in the verse is not referring to the...

I respectfully disagree with you and I quote "baptism is another way to say that you have accepted Jesus and the Holy Spirit now dwells with you." Baptism is only a public proclamation of your faith. I have personally seen so many people that have not been saved and get baptized just because...

Welcome Bigsy! I love the way you said and I quote "I always seem to be drawn back." I just want to say that THIS is the love of God. No matter how far you stray away from God, no matter how much you want to hide from God, God is desiring a relationship with you. It's true that God has been...

Forgiveness even when you can't forgive is what Jesus teaches His disciples. He showed it on the cross. He showed it through His life. How can He forgive someone like us? How does it make sense to embrace someone that nailed you to the cross? He did it anyways because His love outweighed the...

Wow. I can relate to you on so many levels. I come from a very Christian background. My grandpa was a pastor of a 1k church, my dad's two brothers and one brother in-law is currently a pastor at mega churches. Even with a firm foundation and resources to answer my questions, it was extremely...
