spirit

We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ (as the model "Spirit" to follow). It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own (like excusing our disobedience of the Ten Commandments as coming from the Holy Spirit). Our qualification comes...

I’m writing this to comfort those who struggle with this affliction myself included, This is not who you are, neither did God intend for you to have these feelings in the first place. Everybody is born with a sin nature, this causes to be spiritually separated from God and to do evil things...

Poll didn't publish: updated thread 》HERE I'm interested to know how many Christians believe in an afterlife? I thought it would be interesting to spin-off from my thread Here My Grandmother was Christian and believed when we die we go to the grave until resurrection. I was taught this, but...

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee...

Hi my name is Bob. I've been walking with the Lord for over 50 years now. I love God's Word and the treasures therein. I'll be sharing some beautiful insights into His Word, as God told me so in a vision where the Spirit concluded by saying, "Now I want you to teach these to my people." I...

Hi there, So, new concept: if there is Evolution that is good, there is Evolution that is best. Conclusion: if the best is varied, the best will be prolonged. Interpretation: there is better that can be evolved, until keeping what has already been evolved becomes more important. The point being...

Hello, There are so many ways to answer that God does everything He can to avoid or abate suffering, that it can seem like no one has a definitive answer. However, we can start to understand that God is in the midst of suffering. For example, that God is able to distract us from suffering. The...

this is my recent post on another thread - in response to a somewhat off-topic post there. So here it is "on topic". SDAs believe: Matt 10:28 28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in...

What do you think? Is it possible for your soul to leave your body for 3 years and come back to it and continue with life?

Hi all I'm wondering if someone can help me here, my family got an old photo of my great grandmother today and my mum said she saw a face behind her (I didn't see it) and my grandmother said after that the photo was taken after she lost a son during the war. I'm worried about bringing such a...

Hi there, So here is an example I hope explains why I look at life on Earth, the way that I do. It's not rare for something to evolve, because it's expected to, the real question is "what is enough?"; if you know what is enough, you can begin to focus on honing skills you already have...

John's teaching here begins with the spirit of truth, and we should also... 2 John 1:2 For the truth's sake, which abides in us, and shall be with us for ever. The spirit of truth gives us the power to discern the love found in Christ alone 1 John 4:6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us...

Hi there, I was in despair, saying to myself "how can I be saved, once and for all?" because it seemed that there was no end to my sin - only more repentance, without end... and I saw this Heavenly Word on the images page of a search for immutable mercy: ...and I realised, it is actually an...

Here’s how i get deliverance from awful nagging pain. When i feel ongoing pain and have prayed and prayed, and the pain just remains, i sit down and confront it with the name of Jesus. Its so hurtful to think God just sits back and watches us suffer and wont provide an answer. But, if you...

Hi there, So yes, it took me a long time to get perspective behind Jim Brown's much vaunted concept of "predeterminism" - the idea that our steps are ordered by God - and having finally got that perspective, I wanted to share with you how to progress through it. It starts with accepting that...

...is how startled I would have been? If the theory helps me discern how startled I am, from how startled I would have been: I can commit to being righteous, about how effective the startling I am is to others, who do not have the same angle, on the same truth (as they would have, if they had...

Hi there, So if sin could produce masses of mutation (dysfunctional DNA), why would you not expect it to produce masses of information? I mean that is just a one for one interpretation of the special place you give "mutation" - am I not correct? There is no telling what species could get...

Hi there, So I struggled for a long time, about being a backslider, about not being diligent in the faith - which I had come to know. For a long, long time I thought that fixing the backsliding was something I had to do. I tried confessing, I tried baptism, I tried changing my faith - none of...

Hi there, So there is a problem you may not have thought of: what if Man gets stuck in a niche? What if that niche keeps Man from venturing out again, that he accepts he will never exhaust Evolution (and shouldn't try?)? The point is, you have to position yourself to take advantage of most...

Hi there, So I really want to hit the nail on the head with this, guys: the Church has a very clear alternative, to face. Does the Church know its members by its fruits OR does the Church know its members by the end that they arrive at? Does the Church caricature Jesus one way and another OR...
