    Let Jesus, be interested in You

    Hi there, So this is a fresh revelation, for me, that Jesus actually needs the opportunity to be interested in You - He made You, so for Him to have a relationship is something of first importance to Him, but more than that, it is a relationship that He desires to be invested in: Jesus actually...

    The Bible is the Word of God. Ok, but how do you know that?

    All Christians believe that the book they hold in their hands and that has the word 'Bible' printed on it is the Word of God, inspired and infallibly true. But not all Christians believe this for the same reason. Furthermore, not all Christians have the same Bible. Some have more books than...

    Do You Go To Church?

    A common term used in today’s Christian Religion (local church system) is to “go to church.” However, when put in proper perspective this term makes about as much sense as asking someone how much does the color blue weigh? The Church, Body of Christ, is not a place to go to, it is a spiritual...

    Church and State

    Something on my mind lately - is there a link between church and state? More specifically, does anyone have any perspective on what seems to be a link between democracy/capitalism/Protestantism compared to monarchy/feudalism/Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy? This isn’t to criticise...

    Jesus Prayed To The Father For Unity In The Body Of Christ

    "I am not asking on behalf of them alone (His disciples), but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message (all true believers), that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent...

    It Is Time To Get Back To The Essentials

    There is no time better than now for true followers of Christ to get back to the essentials of what it means to be a Christian. Today's local church system has wandered so far from the narrow path that many would not even recognize it. However, it is just a step away for those who choose to...

    An Open Discussion on the Church and Homosexuality

    Western society seems to be following the trend of increasing its tolerance for different practices. The general social view towards homosexuality and the LGBTQ+ Community as a whole is becoming far more affirming as years progress. Many Christian denominations have become officially affirming...

    Do not repeat what they did

    Back then some Israelites were so blinded by the book (Old Testament) that they couldn’t recognize their Messiah and even opposed and denied Him. Then God started to reveal Himself through people of all nations. And now some of us got so blinded by the New Testament theologies that we are not...

    A (now-relevant) question on 1 Corinthians 10:17

    I've come across a question that carries with it present significance during the coronavirus pandemic: 1 Corinthians 10:17 says, "Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread" (NASB). Is this "one body" the universal church (all Christians...
