I would suggest reading daily through the gospels, as well as reading historical books on the life of Jesus. If you're getting panic attacks and anxiety, you might want to seek a deliverance minister. Many falsely believe a Christian cannot be demonized but I've seen Christians get delivered...

I have a friend that was married to a woman who had been sexually abused as a child. When her husband initiated sex with her she just lay there like a cold stone as if the abuse was happening at her husband's hand. Sex was extremely infrequent and unenjoyable for both of them. After a few years...

Yes great point. There are about 2 billion Muslims in the world, and just over 2 billion Christians. How many of each would we project to accept Jesus? It seems an unfair playing field. How do we filter these kinds of odds?

Profound! It seems as though many are born with a desire for destruction while few are born with a heart of flesh. I don't know the answer. Only God knows. Thank you for your reply!

I should have added that I don't subscribe to Calvinist doctrines, but I respect your beliefs and I can see how some might agree with Calvin on some points.

I understand all that. And I believe the bible. But there is some mystery here. Mathew recorded this over 2000 years ago at the time of Jesus, and God foreknew that few would choose Him in comparison to those that would choose rebellion. What makes us different from non-believers that we choose...

Matthew 7:13–14, Jesus said, "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." If God already knows few will find the narrow...

Look up New Age / Occultist Robert Monroe and see his "Journeys out of the Body" books which are based on astral travel and out-of-body experiences. Lucid dreaming is occultic when one is trying to accomplish this. It leads to communion with demons and astral entities if one pursues this kind of...

Wow, amazing! Thanks for sharing, It's important for us to understand that we need to ask Jesus for help and then get out of the way so He can move. It seems that sometimes people are "trying" to pray for people as if it's their own doing but it should be effortless as we are only asking Jesus...

It sounds like you should find a church that believes in deliverance (if yours doesn't) and ask for prayer from a pastor that has the gift of spiritual discernment. Arm yourself with knowledge of spiritual warfare (a good book on this is called "War on the Saints"), and pray to Jesus for...

I heard a testimony of a married couple that devolved to the point of living together as house mates. This went on for years. Over ten years they would go to work, come home, and pretty much ignore each other and sleep in separate rooms. Neither were Christians. The guy was invited to a church...

Esther, Ruth, Sarah, and Rachel weren't apostles. All apostles and all prophets were men. Every single one of them. I would urge you to seek deliverance from wrong belief.

Men and women are not equal. We as Christians can stumble when it comes to understanding what scripture means, and discerning the difference of what the world believes. The world is deceived by the enemy and some Christians allow themselves to also. Feminism is one of the lies that sounds good...

I could have worded it to sound less harsh but the message would still be the same.

The apostles were men! They had all of the same emotions and feelings as we do. That's the whole point! To show us the Truth through the stories of God and men in the Old Testament and Jesus and men in the New Testament. Only Jesus is perfect, we are all flawed and none without sin. Paul's...

I think the women of Corinth were much like the feminists of today and needed to be told firmly to sit down and shut up. I agree with your assessment that women were to keep quiet in the church while the teaching was going on because they likely had little control of themselves and did not know...

It sounds like you're blinded by feminism (the world). You cannot read the bible with feminist colored half-empty glasses. Women are physically weaker than men. All those movies you've been watching where a 90 pound woman beats up a group of men each weighing 200 plus pounds is not real. It's...

There's a time for teaching and a time for prophesying. Women are to be silent at the time of teaching. They are encouraged to speak if there is prophesy. However, prophesy does not trump scripture.

What distinguishes these particular verses as "God given"? Because you agree with what you think they say? Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see...

The Bible is the inspired Word of God. The apostles wrote their epistles by and through the Holy Spirit. I'm sorry to hear that you disagree with certain points in the Bible but this is the Truth. We are created beings and we each have our place. I will pray for you.
