Re: Speaking in tongues.
What does the Bible say about the PURPOSE of tongues?What is their purpose? Paul said......... I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.” 1 Corinthians 14:18 (KJV) The main benefit or praying in tongues is supernatural guidance. When you pray in the Spirit, you make yourself sensitive...

Re: The 2 creations
I could be wrong...but I always thought on the sixth day God created 'all of mankind' (Them-male and female). He went on to talk to them about the seeds of all the plants and trees which would sustain them, them taking dominion, them subduing the earth, etc. After His creation process was over...He ...

Re: Ages according to the Bible
That is about 300 years of school! About 100 years of puberty!! and then about 500 years of work before you can retire. Blimey - the amount of pension you must have accumulated by then must be huge. (in jest) SIlvertusk. In hindsight....I think we have the better deal with the shorter life span! I ...

Re: Movies
When I watch a movie or a television show...I simply ask myself if Jesus physcially walked in the door right now - would I be comfortable with Him seeing what I am entertaining myself with or would I be embarassed while grabbing the remote to quickly try to redeem myself. I tell my teenagers to do t...

Re: Christians who committ suicide
I don't see how suicide could cut off the salvation provided for a Born Again believer. It's a cop out and leaves a tremendous amount of guilt and pain for those you leave behind....but there is no indication a person loses their salvation because of it. Even in the OT, Saul committed suicide. He ac...

Re: Christianity and Judaism: Theologically Incompatible?
You certainly have your hands full Prisca712 ! Are you making a female or male costume? I made a simple one for my daughter a few years ago, but I lazed out and used 'stitch witchery'. It worked great until the first wash. :lol: Like I said, I've heard the same thing about Jesus just being a good te...

Re: Amazing Grace
yeah, except for the marathon marathon's they;ve been having every other month, it seems. These last two years the fundraising has become ridiculous. I know what you mean.

Re: free will
The way I look at it is.....God created 'earth time' for mankind. He lives in an 'eternal time'. Therefore, it's not so much that God has predestined or over-stepped our free will....He just knows every choice we have made, are making and will make in the future. He sees it all at one time. He has a...

Re: Old Testament Prophecies Real or Not?
Western thinking focuses on sequential events, which are tied together by logic. Eastern thinking doesn't focus on time sequentially and has a more holistic and all at once type thinking that is very different than ours. Wow....I've never thought if it like that! Actually, their way is the better w...

Re: Did Jesus go to Hell?
Jesus has conquered and so will all those who believe in Him at the second coming.The Revelation is the revelation(revealing )of the things Daniel was told to shut until the last days and it isthose things that are herein unsealed. God bless. This is the same way I read it. Death IS conquered....bu...

Re: Why does God blesses the unbelievers?
Considering our journey on earth is only a tiny spec of time in relation to eternity....I'm not sure unbelievers have that much of a blessing. They may have lots of 'stuff' and a few parties....but that is all an unbeliever has unless they become a believer and change their circumstances. Just a tho...

Re: Is love only a bi-product of salvation?
+ Sadly, we do not teach on this subject in the church because such self sacrificing relational love does come with a cost. That cost — self. - ...it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me (Gal 2:20) is an easy verse to repeat....but it's a whole different deal to try to live it out each d...

Re: Christianity and Judaism: Theologically Incompatible?
Basically, what I'm feeling is that the impression I've had is that Christianity is a sort of continuation of Judaism, when the info I've found seems to state something else entirely... I think sometimes people look at it that way because of the our words 'Old Testament - New Testament'. The Jewish...

Re: Reading Genesis One
Thanks for the great book lead! I use http://www.blueletterbible.org/ to look up a lot of scriptures, but I would really enjoy getting the book you recommended.
