    Once saved always saved, or abundantly saved no matter what is always?

    Hi there, So yes, I think I have an answer to the problem, of whether you can lose your salvation and for how long you can keep it, all in the one answer! We are abundantly saved! That means there is an abundance of ways to respond to salvation, right to the end! The concept of abundant...

    What is our generation going to do, with the leadership in its midst?

    Hi there, I've been watching for some time, now, wondering where the leadership of my generation is going to come from. I mean, every generation has its leaders, and those leaders have styles and they get there (to leadership) by heeding the older generation - learning from them, trusting them...

    Bad Dream/OCD Thoughts

    I have dealed with intrusive thoughts for a while now and I know that God forgives me, but for some reason I had a bad dream about accepting the mark of the beast last night. It scares me because I would never want to accept it in real life. The dream lead to intrusive thoughts about the same...

    The world feels threatened, from beginning to end

    Hi there, So I realise you may be struggling spiritually; and you may be wondering "Why do people attack me?" I just want to say 'you'll get through it', nothing has tempted you but that which is common to man (1 Cor 10:13) - these threats you feel, this doubt you have, is all because the world...

    [MOVED] It's like I'm addicted to the approval of the Church?

    Hi there, The Kitchen Sink, seems like a good place to put this: I really don't think it fits anywhere, to be addressed to the Church in General, but not some or others, depending on how its interpreted. The question is simple: "Am I addicted to the approval of the Church?" I suppose if it came...

    The Devil doesn't want converts to believe they are chosen and appointed

    Hi there, So I have been a believer for many years now, and I have frequently struggled, with what my faith means. I said the line "Jesus, I make you my Lord and Saviour" in direct contradiction to the verse "you did not choose me" John 15:16-17. The systemic problem then, went back to what...

    What are you going to do, when the only thing you are afraid of is evolving in to Hell?

    Hi there, So there is very little about this, in the Bible: evolving in to Hell - but there are scriptures which point in its direction. Mark 9:43 "if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you, for it is better to enter into life lame or maimed, than to be cast into Hell"...

    EVOLUTION - X (A helpful mnemonic to remember?)

    Hello! I am new to ChristianForums.com so please accept my apologies if this has been planted in the wrong place (perhaps a moderator can correctly place it for me)...but I wanted to share with you a video which has helped me to remember common sense objections to Darwinian Evolution, in the...

    Technically, God propels "Creation"

    Hi there, So a useful truth for developing a relationship with the Lord, is consider God's creative relationship, with Creation. The Bible sets out that God is separate to Creation (that He is hovering above it), and that He moves from there to an affirmation of what was created, according to...

    Ephesians 2:8

    Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (NOTE: Sins required payment is DEATH.) Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (NOTE: ALL are sinners & deserve DEATH) Eph 2:8 For "by grace" "are ye saved"...

    Struggling in my faith Scared and feel hopeless. Running out of time ?!?!

    Hi, I’ve been a Christian for 5 months and I’ve been struggling in my faith. I’m also new here.. and I’m 16 So I saw a thing earlier that said that people were celebrating the gospel being preached in all nations and it scared me because when that happens Jesus comes back. And apparently the...

    Another thought experiment: if the need to survive (tnts) becomes the need to anything (tntx)...

    Hi there, So yeah I am a little unsure, what exactly I am taking for foundation, here, but I want to experiment in some way - that makes the nature of selection pressure, clearer (if not complete)? The point of the experiment, is to see if changing perceived selection pressures, is something...

    In principle, if there are more questions than there are works: something is wrong?

    Hi there, So I posted this thread about the difference between faith and works, and I didn't get a single reply - so I thought I would take the tangential subject and clarify - for our sakes, if anyone - how long or far you can ignore the relationship between faith and works: before you get...

    Am I two people? What is my true self, the good or the evil?

    I do know I honestly believe in Jesus, and hope beyond hope that reality will be eternal life. I also honestly wish to follow all the teachings of Christ, and to be a servant of God. So this seem to indicate I am a good person. The same time I suffer, but perhaps deserved, because I've truly...

    Thanks for Prayer, The Devil is desperate to make me fall, So I ask for more prayer.

    Thanks for all that prayed for me. I just made a new thread to make it clear that I've never since I first became a Christian, seen more clearly how the devil work through people against me, to try to make me fall. The last two days I've felt it as if chains that have held me in place, have...

    Every mutation is intercepted, for the life of a particular creature: maximum survival?

    Hi there, EDIT (FROM END): So let me know what you think: the subject is basically "a life of mutation and a life of freedom from mutation, how do you think they compare?". EDIT (FIRST CUT): So yes, first let me disclaim: I don't understand species as being any different from individuals, I...

    Anxiety and future mother-in-law

    Hello everyone, My future mother-in-law isn't very compassionate when it comes to people with ADHD more particularly me. Over the summer she offered to help us budget our wedding which was very sweet of her. The three of us for saying they're discussing what we wanted in our wedding that was...

    Future in-laws wishy washiness

    Hello everyone, My future in- laws as much as I love them do, do things in a way where I feel anxious. The other night they had my dad over, since we have newly discovered that my aunt has stage four cancer where as we are truly heartbroken. My fiancee's parents invited us over for dinner...

    Why can God not protect us, before, during and after?

    Hi there, So there is no stance, with this - other than that we must stand with God. I am just pointing out that the idea that God acts in a specific way and only a specific way, is sort of antiquated. If I was God, I would protect my children, whatever the stage of their life was up to -...

    Prayers for school

    Hello everyone, Please pray for my schooling. I'm in my final semester at a Christian university. Thank God it's almost over, since I have had a very difficult time at this school and with disabilities. I am having trouble doing my homework and getting it turned in on time. I'm also having...
