    What is a "worship service?"

    Those who prostrate to the Father must prostrate in spirit and in truth.

    What is a "worship service?"

    Usually if you are reading an English translation of the Bible and come across the word 'worship', the word actually means 'prostration'-- to bow down like Eastern Orthodox or Muslims do. That's why John 'worshipped' the angel, and the OT says "I will worship toward your temple." The woman at...

    What is a "worship service?"

    Prostration services? We might say the Eastern Orthodox do that, with incense as a part of the 'service.'

    The double-standards of the preterist and why I left that system

    Um, no. We are supposed to be waiting for the second coming. When He comes back, the saints are caught up with the dead in Christ to meet the Lord in the air. We are still waiting for the resurrection of the body. We shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is. If there were no...

    The double-standards of the preterist and why I left that system

    Well, full preterists are not 'guilty' of all these things, but then they have a problem of no actual return of Christ, and our not looking forward to the hope of his return. And what is the state at the end of Revelation? Is it really some of the historical messes of the popes, and the age we...

    Blasphemy against holyspirit

    Not everyone who does so says something evil against the Holy Spirit. There are plenty of sinners out there who die in unbelief who never mention the Holy Spirit. But they committed sins that were of a category that could have been forgiven by grace through faith. It is not enough to merely...

    Blasphemy against holyspirit

    Speaking against the Holy Spirit is the unforgiveable sin. One who falls away may find that he cannot repent. Repenting is part of being restored back to God.

    Blasphemy against holyspirit

    If this were the case, then Paul would not have been forgiven, and he would have spoken against the Holy Spirit. What about the apostles... maybe 9 of them. Were they forgiven? Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a...

    Blasphemy against holyspirit

    Blaspheming is a sin of the mouth that involves speaking, in this case speaking against the Holy Spirit. Maybe it refers to written text. The word has a meaning. The Greek word from which it is derived has a meaning.

    Blasphemy against holyspirit

    So unbelief is not the unforgivable sin, but speaking against the Holy Spirit is.

    I hope not. Would Republicans ever have control of the House again, or the presidency?

    Trumps gonna win.

    I heard a story that Epstein was on a golf course Trump owned, that he hit on a 16-year-old employee, and Trump went out there in person to kick Epstein off the golf course. Is anyone familiar with this story? Btw, Trump didn't say he grabbed women there. He said a celebrity could get away...

    Singlehood and Chastity

    I am married, but I saw this post. I'm curious. A lot of singles have online dating profiles. If you put on your profile that you will not engage in sex before marriage and you are looking for a man or woman the same values, does that help at all? Does it screen people? Or do some men who...

    Blasphemy against holyspirit

    But other people who repent of unbelief are forgiven, right?

    Returning curses back to sender?

    I actually like Derek Prince, or old recordings, for the most part. But in some areas, I think his teachings could get a little speculative, and maybe a bit too far with deliverance. He was an in-depth teacher, moreso than some of the originators of some of the many pop-Charismatic teachings...
