    A Simple Method for Studying the Bible

    How to Study the Bible | The Road to Emmaus | Christian Blog This is the method I walk through with new Christians to help them learn to study the Bible in their daily devotions. It is the S.O.A.P. method and its a simple replicable way to go deeper in your reading of the word. I hope it's helpful!

    The false "7 year tribulation" doctrine

    Let's examine scripture. The seven year tribulation doctrine does NOT come from the following verse. Revelation 7:14 "And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of...

    When God Called For Lockdown

    They went into the ark with Noah, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. And those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And the Lord shut him in. Genesis 7:15-16 Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go...

    Your Spirit and Scripture

    Your Spirit and Scripture The Lord Jesus put on heart a few days ago to prayerfully share on a Scripture each day and ask others of you to do likewise by sharing what God speaks to your heart regarding the same portion of Scripture that day. Try to be as open and as transparent as possible...

    The Differences Between Jesus Christ and Christ Jesus 02.04.2020

    Greetings to All: This Thread is dedicated to debate over the differences between Jesus of Nazareth who walked this earth AND Christ Jesus mentioned only in the Pauline Epistles. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the incarnation of the Lamb of God on this earth. Christ Jesus is the Father...

    "Guilty or Innocent". (Heb 4:12; Dan 6:21-22; Acts 24:16)

    "real-time" is the "applications in which the computer must respond as rapidly as required by the user...." The word of God is a discerner of the thoughts/intents of the heart. As such , when reading it, like a cross- court room examination, it's application in our lives must be in "real-time"...

    Some Thoughts: Is The Pursuit Of Joy Required For Salvation And Obedience To Jesus?

    I do not believe that emotions—not even the emotion of joy—is to be the object of our pursuit of God. The Bible is clear that the heart—the seat of our emotional being—is desperately wicked and “sick.” Our emotions are shaped by our experiences in life—our past experiences. How one person...

    Scriptural qualities a potential wife should have

    Hello! I was wondering what qualities, as a Christian young man, I should look for in a wife. If you have advice, it would be appreciated, but I'll require that you support the qualities you suggest with book, chapter, and verse. Thanks!

    Requesting that there be focus on the Bible texts and no breaking the CF forum rules please. This "topic" is not of the form 1. List every tradition you can think of 2. Find as many Bible texts that you would like to dismiss as "tradition" This "topic" is about Col 2 and whether it is merely...

    Making friends with unrighteous wealth? Luke 16:1-9

    This parable has to be one of the more confusing parables that Jesus gives. 1. For what, exactly, is the manager being commended? Is he shrewd because he ingratiated the debtors to himself? How does that apply to followers of Christ and their use of "unrighteous wealth"? 2. Is Jesus suggestion...

    How to know that homosexuality is a sin, for certain?

    Hello everyone. I’m trying to understand the Scripture’s stance on homosexuality, and am praying that God will move it in the hearts of Christians with a deeper understanding of scripture than I to aid me in this difficult time in my life. Almost a year ago now, I ended an 8 year same-sex...

    Give up all my possessions?!

    When Jesus teaches us that in order to be his disciples we must give up all our possessions (Luke 14:33), does he mean that literally, metaphorically, spiritually? What is your interpretation and why do you interpret it that way?

    Micah 5:2 confusion

    While Matthew uses this verse to point to Jesus Messianic birth, if read in context, it sounds as if it is speaking of a literal ruler that will delivers them from the Assyrians. I’m confused on this, I know many Jews believe that the Messiah will be a physics ruler to deliver the Jewish...

    Scripture Alone!!

    If you want to study engineering, or medicine, or any other human discipline, you do not need Scripture. If you want to have true knowledge of God, and man's relation to God, you cannot gain it apart from Scripture. Indeed, if you look for such knowledge in any other place, science, medicine...

    Divorce (Is adultery the only justifiable reason for it?)

    I have a friend who is in the process of getting a divorce from his wife who he has been married for 30 years or so. The marriage has been bad for at least the last 20 years. His wife I'm sure is at least seriously mentally ill and maybe even demonized (Kevin my friend does not believe...

    A Question for Non-Sacramental Christians

    This question is for nonsacramental Protestant Christians who think sacraments are "unbiblical". Matthew 6 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret...

    Scripture vs. History

    So, here is my next question in the line of "questioning my Protestant heritage". Hopefully a slightly more focused question than before? In my other thread, there has been a lot of talk about the Church Fathers, especially about accepting them as infallible authority ... Well I never said that...
