    Chinese Crackdown on Christianity

    I am actually trying to direct this towards non-christians. But have you heard of what's been going on in China? They are able to track every move you make and identify people with these new cameras, just by the way you walk if it can't see your face. You can use your face to get authentication...

    Shouldn't the first 3 verses of Genesis 2 really be at the end of Genesis 1?

    Shouldn't the first 3 verses of Genesis 2 really be at the end of Genesis 1? I have seen and heard from several sources that Genesis chapters 1 and 2 are written by different authors. Now I don't know the legitimacy of this claim, however it does make sense when you compare the wording of the...

    God formed the universe/world out of water?

    I just reread Genesis chapters 1-3 again today after a few months since becoming a YEC, and I just thought of something really interesting. If the average person read this stuff for the first time what would he think? That's how I wanted to interpret it. 2 And the earth was without form, and...

    I thought I had them at the flood, but...

    I'm a young earth creationist since a few months ago but today after doing further research on the geologic column it would appear I have met my match. Creationists have tried to explain how the flood could have separated neatly all the fossils consistently across the world between each layer of...

    What are demons? The heavenly realms?

    I've been having trouble lately understanding what demons are, and for me that is strange, yet I have been having some spiritual growing pains lately so this may be a part of that. But I almost have doubts demons exist sometimes because it seems like the only thing that provides evidence for...

    I am beginning to run the race

    For the first time I feel like I am running the race Paul was talking about. I am out there starting to preach and teach the gospel. Sure everyone has heard of Jesus, but someone needs to get out there and put it in their face why He died and bled for them and proceed to tell them to decide this...

    Trying to lead others to Christ.

    Today I witnessed to 2 people, and it was the best witnessing work I have ever done. We're all at work though and they received my message gladly and they were engaged. However I'm not sure if this is just not the right place and time or what but when I went to pray with them... nothing changed...

    A couple of things here..

    Firstly, my aunt is now a former Jehovah's Witness and has turned Christian! Praise the Lord! She said she started reading the gospels one day and started paying attention to what Jesus was saying. She finally got to the part where he said he is the way the truth and the life. And then she read...

    Faith, Works, Righteousness, Justification... Help?

    Is faith without works dead? Or is faith without works not dead? Or is it both? Romans 4 (NIV) 1What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before...

    Have you obeyed the "voice of God"?

    Do you hear it? Do you obey it? Do you have any stories to share about it?

    A higher calling, my walk with Jesus

    Basically, I am creating this thread because I can't figure out where I am going wrong. I feel like the fruit of the spirit is not as evident as it should be in my life, like more fruit is not being produced, and this is something that should serve as evidence for where a person is with God and...

    Born again or saved? Or both or neither?

    I always thought they were the same thing, and I may be right in that, but I am here to try to work out certain things about being born again or saved. When I was born again, I was out of my body when it happened. Prior to that happening I came to a point where I recognized the Holy Spirit in...

    Are all foods really clean?

    Matthew 5 (NIV) 17“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. 18For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law...

    How narrow is the "narrow way"?

    I believe I am a born again Christian. I came to a point in my life where The Holy Spirit moved upon me, I recognized it, I acknowledged it, I was convicted of my sin BY the Holy Spirit, I was sorry, I desired to get to know this being - this person - this Holy Spirit, He accepted me, and I was...

    Pray for being on fire for God

    Something I have struggled with for the last 2 years and am finally beginning to snap out of, pray for me to become on fire for God. I want to become a grain of sand in this beach that is a lifehouse. I want God to use me and fill me. I want it to no longer be myself but instead be God who is...

    Edit: this thread contains a solved issue so please keep that in mind before posting about this OP. Hi all. I am married and both of us are born again Christians. My wife has been going to the same church with her mom since she was a very little girl and I never went to a real church...

    How big is your God?

    How much faith do you have? Is it a mountain among men or is it as small as a mustard seed? Do you believe the bible cover to cover or do you think God didn't create everything the way He said He did in His word? Do you believe the earth is billions of years old and we have some evolutionary...

    Question about Hebrew Hieroglyphics

    Just wondering if anyone has any information on how I can get my hands on either an online tool or some form of a copy of the alphabet of Hebrew hieroglyphics and the translation/meaning of each picture as well as where the biblical Hebrew alphabet we see in our manuscripts is derived from? I...

    Aha moment? What does it mean to drive away demons?

    Mathew 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Am I correct if I conclude that a man is born again if he is delivered/healed? John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot...

    Jehovah's Witnesses and proper Greek translations

    WILL SOMEONE WHO KNOWS PROPER ANCIENT GREEK DEBUNK THIS FOR ME! This is a link they have to defend their translation. Defend Jehovah's Witnesses: John 8:58 - The Translation “I Am” is Verbal Nonsense and Grammatically Erroneous NIV Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what...
