Re: Do Muslims, Christians & Jews Worship Same God?

Salvation was extended to the Gentiles because the Jewish people refused to accept Him. See Acts 18:5 - 8 " When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ, but when the Jews opposed Paul and became abus...

Re: How long is Judgement day?

The FACT is that it Will happen. So -- how we live our lives Now -- will determine how embarrassed we will be when 'all' is revealed. Or how sad. Humiliated we'll feel.

Re: How long is Judgement day?

Our speculations about how long the day of judgement will last is a bit pointless, isn't it? Since Scripture doesn't say -- why don't we just say -- we'll find out when we get there. So - in the Meantime -- live our daily lives knowing that there Will be a time of judgement in our future. Sort of su...

Re: Can you live a sinless life after salvation

Someone has pointed out that even a born-again believer will end up sinning Until they are with Jesus Christ in eternity. Before that time -- we aren't Slaves to sin as believers. We Do have the Holy Spirit indwelling us as believers to help us Not to give in to temptation. But satan is still very m...

In the Big picture God's Will triumphs -- but man's will seems to win in the 'here and now'.

Re: Is eternal security part of the gospel?

Regarding eternal security -- at the instant of salvation the Holy Spirit comes to indwell each believer and doesn't leave us until we are safe with Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:30 " And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 2 Corinthians 1:21 - ...

Re: Minister denies wedding

I was just reading through this thread -- it Sounds like the minister decided to Not marry the couple After he went on their FB page and saw that they had no problem with same-sex coupling. I'm wondering what the marriage counseling consisted of. Does it really matter to their own marriage? Why was ...

Re: Morality Evidence for God?

I've read one of the books by C.S. Lewis -- Mere Christianity. I found that I'm not that impressed with him even though he is highly regarded. Morality needs to be based on Christianity -- God's Word. Not especially cultural norms of 'the day'. Based on the fact that many countries allow for same-se...

Re: How can God know everything and let us have free will?

God's omniscience means He alone knows all things. He knows what choices we will make. For us it Is our free will. We're given lots of guidelines in God's Word, but it's still our decisions being made. And God already knows what those decisions will be.
