    Hello. First of all, to go into the great detail on my hurtful experience would take me probably 2 pages to write. The reality is that I had a resurge of faith over Covid lock downs. I read the whole Bible and made a habit of daily study. I started attending Church again and I also started...

    Coronavirus still wreaking havoc in Thailand.

    REPLY: People used to think social security numbers and credit cards were the mark of the beast. A good understanding of revelation would reveal that the mark of the beast is only for those who actually worship the beast. It can't be accepted by accident.

    The Apostle Nathaniel

    Hello everyone. I have been compiling information and sharing with my family about Jesus's 12 disciples. ( I think the show the Chosen was the inspiration).

    Capitalization in Prophesy. Is prophesy really useful for faith.

    Well, mainly because the commentary I am using calls it a Messianic prophecy. But in my own humble opinion this Chapter would not make sense to be about Isaiah * At the end of verse 2 "he concealed me in his quiver". Isaiah was not very concealed. Jesus was. * In verse 6 of this Chapter he...

    Capitalization in Prophesy. Is prophesy really useful for faith.

    I have been staying Isaiah recently. I would like to ask to hear some different opinions about Isaiah 49 particularly about verses 1 and 2. Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the Lord called me; from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name. 2 He...

    Best way to handle death of non-believing family member?

    In my experience, in every situation where a church member tells of a non-believing family member who is deceased someone will always suggest that they must have repented on their death bed and thus they are in heaven now. The teachings of Jesus simply do not suggest this. Before writing this...

    Keeping the Sabbath in The Year 2021

    This is a multipart question that is going to lead me to make what I consider an important decision about my life. I want to state that I believe that keeping the Sabbath means that every 7 days there is one whole day where a person does not work. If you accept that as true, then I want to...
