    Walk By The Spirit And Not By Flesh

    I encourage each of you, as I am encouraged each day by our Lord, to follow Christ in Spirit and not according to personal desires. “For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world. The world is...

    Fallen Humans having Faith (Hebrews 11)

    Hello. I have an assignment on the topic of what it means for humans to have faith despite their faults looking particularly at Hebrews 11. The context of Hebrews 11 has the idea of encouraging persecuted Christians to continue having faith in God by giving examples of how people in the Old...

    "Who is able to go to war with him?" - the hatred of the anti-Christ will catch on?

    Hi there, So it says in Revelation 13:4 that the world marvels at the Beast and says in their heart "who is able to go to war with him?", elsewhere it says that the Beast will blaspheme those in Heaven - these two verses are important, because they point something inevitable out: the world will...

    Please pray for the anti-Christ, that many be prepared to forgive him - peace waits!

    Hi there, So naturally many will confuse being the man of sin, with being the enemy, but that is not specifically true: the man of sin, is the beginning of an enemy - not the actual embodiment of one. This distinction is important, because how we respond to someone beginning to become an enemy...

    We Have to Believe It!

    Don’t Be Unaware 1 Corinthians 10:1-5 ESV For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual...

    Wanted: Bible verse that says I crucified Christ

    Hi, many times I have heard well meaning Christians say something akin to I am (or my sin is) responsible for driving the nails into Christ, hanging Him on the cross, His crucifixion, or something like that. I'm looking for the specific verse(s) that say that. Not imply, but say it. Not looking...

    Your WORKS won't do it.

    There are NO verses in the Bible, both Testaments included... that say Jesus, once in you, will leave you if you are a bad Christian, etc. He is sealed in there, along with the Holy Spirit, unless the bible is lying. Jesus does promise you Eternal Life, and this promise has NO CONDITIONS, once...

    Sin at the time of death

    Let's say you are saved. If you are sinning at the exact moment of your death (anger, having bad thoughts, etc)---say a car or truck crashes into your car and you die instantly---will you go to hell? If you were lusting over someone the night before, and you know you'll probably do it again...

    Is it the Mark?

    In the future, they might do away with passwords and have people use their eyes (retinal scans) instead, and also other parts of your body. There are facial recognition and fingerprints right now. Is it a sin to participate in any of these? I keep thinking they are associated with the mark of...

    My Fault, but Faith

    Don’t be anxious about anything. This passage is so much easier to believe in when it’s just life. Life happens, no one can help it. Hardships, challenges, issues, etc. When life happens, don’t be anxious, present your requests to God. But what if you’re the cause of the anxiety? Recently...

    Freedom and sin

    Many of the prophetic actions of the Christian church in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries had to do with challenging the social injustices of poverty, oppression, gender discrimination, racial discrimination etc. They mirrored the call for social justice of the prophet Amos. Liberalism...

    If We Say We Have No Sin, We Deceive Ourselves

    The scriptures clearly tell us, "There is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." (Romans 3:22-24). Therefore, we know that Jesus did not die in vain, but instead He died to set...

    A Christian Apology to Hugh Hefner ... !

    [Note: This thread isn't specifically about inappropriate contentography; it is about Social Philosophy and the un-Christian damage it can do in society!] As most of us who live in Western society know, Hugh Hefner's anti-Christian Playboy Philosophy is, for the most part, mainstream today and no longer just a...

    So sorry I have to ask this: what do I do about unconscious sin?

    Hi there, I have come at this, every way I can think of - and I am just not dealing with it. When I was a teenager, I was listening to heavy metal music (that I knew my parents (Christians) would not approve of. I feel asleep listening to the music and then all of a sudden woke up and said the...

    I feel lost without the love for God and Jesus

    Hello, I'm posting here because I do not really know who I can speak to about my issue. I discovered the Gospel about 1,5 year ago, at the time I did not want to see my sinnful state, but shortly after, God helped me see how bad of a sinner I am, being selfcentered and lying above all things...

    Do You Know Him?

    My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2 NIV When we come...

    Sin, guilt, condemnation and the age of innocence

    Assumptions: At the end of the age, God will judge mankind. If man is found guilty, he will be punished. We know that all men will be found guilty because all have sinned. In the gospel, Jesus assumes our guilt to himself and imputes his righteousness to us. It seems like there are at least two...
