    What Does it Take to Receive Eternal Life (Lessons from the Rich Young Ruler)?

    SCRIPTURE: Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: “Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “Only God is truly good. But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not commit adultery. You must not murder...

    The Vanity of Knowledge

    I've spend most of my young adolescent and adult life trying to explain everything with logic. But no matter how much knowledge we have, it doesn’t fill the emptiness in our hearts and souls. So, let’s remember to not only love God with our minds, but with our whole hearts. The following clip...

    The person with [great] dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts - Einstein. Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a parallel of this truth in scripture, I'm not sure which would be said to be the more beautiful. Compare: The point being, that there are degrees of greatness, with anything. Just knowing the facts is not enough, neither is planting your feet firmly on the world. I have...

    Honest question: how do we become less knowing, without becoming more questioning?

    Hi there, So this is evidently a question about faith. I do not mean to add question to question. My intent is to have faith, despite people having "questions". People ask questions, but when they receive the knowledge the ask, if they ask in vain, they simply come up with more questions. As a...

    A mature Christian, makes work a priority (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a simple point here, that I think people have tried to nail for some time, but which is expressly easier to interpret with the help of the Holy Spirit. We are not saved by works, but once maturity is reached, the decision to make "works" a 'priority' is foreknown. This is...

    God Has the Final Say

    The Way of the Wicked Proverbs 15:9 ESV “The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but he loves him who pursues righteousness.” The wicked are those who make it their practice to do evil, to sin against God. They are not just those who make no profession of faith in Jesus...

    There is something God can't create, before you get to Heaven! He's waiting to share it with you!

    Hi there, So this is a really simple thought, but typically we think of God as someone who created in the past. But God is not just a God of the past, He is also a God of the future. He has created everything, yes, but there is something (even many things) that God cannot create for you, until...

    [Introduction] XeroXipher -- Road to Christianity

    Hello. My name is Peter Cloutier Jabalee. Age: 30 --When I was 14 I was asked, "Do you believe in God?" and I responded, "No, I wish I could believe, but it's too hard." I did believe in Hell, but not God, I feared Hell. --At 19 I moved out on my own and met this overly religious girl. She...

    How can I interpret the words of Jesus Christ and apply it to my life??

    I have tried to read the Bible several times but I have some trouble understanding what the message of what it is talking about. There are just some passages that I am very confused about and that makes me get lost because I have the wrong interpretation. I just constantly get lost and I...

    How limited is the god of open theism?

    " Clark Pinnock said, “The future is really open and not available to exhaustive foreknowledge even on the part of God. It is plain that the biblical doctrine of creaturely freedom requires us to reconsider the conventional view of the omniscience of God”[" Open Theism: Is God’s Limited...

    Blind, But Have Eyes

    In America (USA), we are saturated with the Word of God. Bibles are sold nearly everywhere that books are sold, and the last that I looked, they could be rented from the public library, and some ministries even give them out for free. Scriptures are posted on billboards, on Facebook, on Twitter...

    IS TIME TRAVEL A SIN?

    I have been doing a lot of discussing in various forums, where the idea of time travel has come up repeatedly. Then, just yesterday, I watched Avengers: Endgame - Wikipedia (spoiler alert), and time travel, once again, entered my consciousness. I remember, years ago, that I proposed the idea...

    Pistis Vs. Gnosis 4

    Why I first got involved in this topic is because there often is a “Faith vs. Knowledge” dichotomy that is setup in Christianity. This especially seems to take place after Christianity spends a few centuries dealing with the Gnostic heresies. After this time, Gnosis especially of the revelatory...

    Does Doctrine play any role in Salvation?

    I wonder this, not to open up any excuses to ignore sound doctrine, by any means, but because so many different doctrines seem to be given this treatment among different denominations. Yet I keep going back to the thief on the cross. He didn’t have time to learn any of what we might call...
