Re: Christan and unbelievers

I've been told that it's best to have our close friends as believers -- our same religious beliefs -- that way we can be spiritual encouragers. I have had unbelievers as friends -- and we Need to have non-believers in our lives -- how else can we do any 'witnessing' by our lives or conversation. But...

Re: Is Jesus the only way?

It's becoming less and less popular to accept God's Word as The authority. And God's Word tells us that Jesus Christ is God's Son -- and He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and no man comes to the Father but by Him. There are belief systems that say otherwise. So --is God's Word going to be our Au...

Re: Eternal Security...

The concern Should be to want to understand Scripture as God would have us understand it -- not especially to agree with what other Christians believe. So we would be praying for the Holy Spirit to give us understand of what we're reading.

Re: Do animals have souls?

I'd like to add a thought. Is it not the soul that spends eternity in either heaven or hell? And That is based on a person's ability to understand salvation / belief in the heart and confess with the mouth. People can do that -- but can an Animal do that. Animals have been put here for Us -- some to...

Re: Start with Scripture?

"Start with Scripture?" --- Of Course we start with Scripture -- it's God's Word to mankind. In the Old Testament God gave His Word through the Prophets. He led His people -- Children of Israel out of Egypt by directing Moses. He used Noah when He directed the ark to be built. Isaiah told ...

Re: Doctrine of Hell

God tells us about Both heaven and hell. How to be able to Be in heaven and how to stay Out of hell. And He's told us enough About hell that we know we don't want to end up there. He's given us salvation through Jesus Christ -- we Can accept That and share it with everyone who is willing to listen. ...

Re: Eternal Security...

There is also the verse that says by their fruits you shall know them. What does a person's life reflect? If they say they are a believer but their life does not reflect that , then that would be cause for concern. And the person who is truly concerned Can /Should take time to befriend the person an...

Well -- in the beginning we Were -- Adam and Eve were fellowshipping with God in the Garden. But that tree of the knowledge of good and evil got eaten from -- even though they were told Not to.

Re: Young Earth Creationism believer is my teacher in Church

I grew up in a Big church that had no problem teaching Bible / the authority of God's Word. But there is Also great pressure to give in a bit and support theistic evolution -- even in churches. If you really have a problem with a YEC person teaching your class -- then Maybe you should talk with the ...
