    Concerning Pain, Evil and Suffering

    These thoughts are offered in the hope that they may begin what logical defense of Christianity does not always do: To those who don't know HIM, you have maybe some vague concept of the agony of separation from God, and the joy of closeness to Christ. Maybe you have some experience with guilt...

    A sign of the end: there are different kinds of raptures

    Hi there, So this will be a new concept to you, at first, but after you have given it thought: it will give you broader spiritual horizons. A man can be raptured differently to a child; a child can be raptured differently to an animal. There are different orders and strengths and durations...

    Is your Bible a bad one?

    - So, why post a Thread about "bad bibles" in the "Deeper Fellowship", section? Well, if we have as our Thread's context "deeper fellowship with God", then that comes by having deeper fellowship with God, and God as THE WORD, ....and the word is the divine place regarding deeper fellowship...

    How to understand : Grace

    - To understand Grace correctly, is to understand Salvation correctly, is to understand the Blood Atonement correctly. Notice this verse.... "the finished WORK, of Jesus, on the Cross". Now, who is Jesus? Jesus is God. So, that is GOD on the Cross, dying for the sin of the world...and this...

    Man, the Fees

    I was going to sell all my guns and buy one. It’s a bad time to sell on Armslist because they are converting everyone to Premium- for money to weed out scammers. Then I can get a certain amount of money together. But it costs over $150 for fees here. And reloading for old calibers is over...

    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.
