Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to these forums and have just discovered this one and feel like I'm connected for the first time. I have been surprised by the many different beliefs etc in other threads and really wanted to connect with other Christians who share similar beliefs about their faith...

They are babes in Christ and as such need nurturing, guiding, unconditional love, and much wisdom from those in leadership. Whatever you decide to do I trust that you earnestly seek God's wisdom and Holy Spirit to guide you. Much harm can be done to new believers, and mature ones for that...

Scripture, the Bible, is the written Word (Holy Spirit inspired) to us and Jesus is the Living Word. Jesus referenced scripture too. Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness and the devil was twisting the Scriptures to try and bring Jesus under his authority Jesus said to him: “It is...

I struggled with self esteem, confidence, and self worth for a very long time. My relationship with God really helped with that and the closer I got to Him the more I saw myself through His eyes and not my own or those of the world. My favourite Psalm really helped me also, especially this...

Jesus still speaks to us from scripture. In fact, He will never speak to us in any way that is in contradiction to scripture. The Bible is still our guide and is still the Holy Spirit inspired Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God sent to earth in human form. He can and does speak to us in other...

Apologies for not reading every post. Very controversial topic! My take on it is that God spoke directly to Adam with clear instructions. He did not speak directly to Eve. Eve heard the instruction through Adam. A Word received directly from God is extremely powerful and Adam understood...

Absolutely. The Word is Jesus. Our relationship with Him and through Him to God the Father is so vitally important and what He desires above all else. A relationship involves reciprocation. We talk to Him and listen for His Voice to speak to us. He wants to speak into our hearts and lives and He...

2 Peter 3-9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I agree with many of the posts in this thread. I can only add that God looks at the heart. While some may 'renounce' their faith in God, only God can truly know whether they were ever truly one of His and whether despite their apparent renouncing of their faith whether they still are.

Read and agree

Jesus is the Truth. Truth is a person. Jesus. "I am the Way the Truth and the Life". Christ in us, the hope of glory. As long as we remain in Him and He in us He will continue to guide us and reveal Himself (the truth) to us. Relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is key. The more we...

My first thought is that God would never impose something on you without your full knowledge, free will and choice so while I believe the dream may represent a desire you have deep within your spirit or God trying to lay baptism of His Holy Spirit upon your heart through a dream I don't believe...

I guess it depends on whether you believe in the bible and what it contains. There are multiple scriptures that discuss Hell - eternal. You either believe the bible in its entirety or you don't. You can't take scriptures you agree with and reject those you don't. God does not want ANYONE to...
