Oh I wasn't mislead about anything I mentioned from my understanding from the Passage about the subject within the Book of Acts. And I never said they were obligated even though there's no clarification anywhere if they were. So you are leading the Scripture to the direction you choose but...

It's a connection proposition. If you have Faith in God then you will help to fulfill the Great Commission through works. These works ((do not)) save you but rather Testify to Who you are doing the works for, the One who did save you. And you only do works for the One who did save you. It's...

If we take the Book of Acts for example. We see people selling their land and property and giving the first church 100% of the proceeds. We even have a story about a husband and wife who did this but lied about the amount they gave and ended up being killed by God. But it's very clear...

Ask = shall be given Seek = shall find Knock = shall be opened All predicate must have Faith first. God's Grace = placing Himself upon the Cross. My Salvation = believing in Jesus [by following and obeying] (whosoever believeth) which is the act of obeying the Father.

Actually, it could also represent a hidden seed of rebellion about giving in general and my answers are appropriate towards a discussion format.

I've been hearing about the Rapture happening for the past 50 years now. But make no mistake about how I wrote the first sentence because during those 50 years the Signs about being in the Days of Noah-Lot-Elijah, the War describing Psalms 82 and Ezekiel 37-39, the Dispensation of when the...

I don't believe the majority of Protestants whether broken down into the segments of Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Wesleyan, Presbyterian, etc are separated on the basic Tenants concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I think they might be separated on silly issues like how will the...

From the skills and abilities that God created me with in order to secure employment that God opened up the doors that gave me the provisions to enjoy such luxuries like a home, vehicles, bills paid, savings, and the other Blessings from God that on my own merit wouldn't have come to...

Bottom line the prophecies found in the Old Testament and New like Matthew, Luke, Thessalonians, Jude, Revelation and such are about the Salvation of Israel during the Great Tribulation. The Bride is gone or not mentioned specifically which is typically everyone else outside the Jews...

The only thing ever perfect is Jesus. Has he come a second time like Paul is talking about? Have you noticed that Knowledge is greater today than it was on earth when Paul wrote this? Nothing will end until the Perfect (Jesus) comes and the end of this Age is completed.

I think generally we have decent self control. Not everyone is an alcoholic, smoker, abuser, cheater, adulter, etc. But we all have something that makes us sin more times than we don't. And whatever that sin might be is the one thing we battle the most. Someone could be attracted to...

Peter wrote for anyone suffering and being persecuted by going through trials to be joyful and count it as a blessing. One time after surviving a trial I looked back and noticed how happy I was in a struggling moment when something happened that I praised God for. The odd thing is if I wasn't...

Paul said he killed his flesh daily. We are who we are from birth and become comfortable and accustomed to being all about feeding our self, desires and wants. This is where we begin denying ourselves by no longer allowing the flesh to rule us. Taking up our Cross is the place were we are...

Faith alone should result into actions. A person will become what they read. They will separate themselves from the world in appearance, in the way they conduct themselves and speak. A person will become a Disciple or Student of God and begin doing things that resemble what the Disciples...

For most people before becoming followers of God they are easy to describe by their mannerisms, how they talk, behave, if they drink, smoke, and many many other attributes that are easy to describe them by. But when suddenly they notice that person is no longer being like or having those same...
