    What are the Bible verses that directly support Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunrise Service, Easter or Resurrection Sunday?

    I find it very interesting that so many world religions celebrate holidays that basically have the same meaning but, may be called a different name and can be celebrated on a completely different date... Who is right.? The only thought on this topic is that we humans believe we can figure out...

    "stay thirsty," my friends . . . ?

    Good question! Daily bread. The woman at the well was asked to get Jesus a drink. The last supper had eating and drinking. I cannot take a definitive explanation for this topic yet....Not revealed to me, at least not yet.

    Faith/Works...How much faith? How much works?

    Define the gauge for measurement when you ask how much? Unconditional faith and trust will always override any work....Looking back on my life, I did things that made zero sense to me at the time but, leaning not on your own understanding is necessary.

    Faith/Works...How much faith? How much works?

    If you have a desire to do ANY good work, ask yourself internally, why am I doing this? It could be: Because I personally believe it is good. (Can possibly toe the line of having your own gauge of what is right. Self righteousness) Because God said I have to love my wife. (If a good work is...

    tunnel vision

    Amen to that brother! Or sister! I constantly am trying to find that AH Haaa, gotcha moment that contradicts another verse.....I have yet to come close. I have not read the entire Bible yet but, somethings I read may not be fully understood by me at this present time but, no way am I...

    Salvation by our good works

    Quote the scripture word for word that says, It is EVIL to do ............... The commandments say to obey them. They don’t define the word bad or evil.....We individually define bad and evil.

    Faith and Trust in God…Is There a Translation Issue?

    I hate to look at this from a Hollywood movie lesson but, it was a very good movie with many lessons. Remember Karate Kid from 1984? Daniel had a desire and goal to learn Karate so he could know how to defend himself against the enemies. What happened? Mr Miyagi PROMISED to get him to where he...

    Salvation by our good works

    Every words meaning is fully understood due to fully understanding the meaning of the opposite. Light and Dark Hot and Cold Equal opposites. I have not read the entire Bible yet but, I here many scriptures telling us what is good but have read zero telling us what is bad. Yes the word evil is...

    trying to find a date? bah humbug

    I feel you! My opinion: When you know you have tried everything you possibly have to change your situation, give up and try less (put your troubles in God’s hands) I know it is hard to do because our earthly thinking. Accept the obvious fact that you want something bad, have tried EVERYTHING...

    Would living common-law be considered married in God's eyes?

    Think of Jesus and the woman at the well? My understanding is she had sex with 5 men previously, was currently having sex with another man, yet SHE believed she was not married. Her response of having no husband tells me that, even though she knew none of those men were HER husband, Jesus told...

    Showing your faith by your works

    My opinion on this topic is not connecting works = money. If you only desire to help someone because of what money or human gratitude seems due to you, your works are being done for selfish reasons. Meaning you are only doing them for a return. Conditional love. However, if you have the desire...

    Why do you think there are multiple books of same name?

    For instance, there is John, John 1, John 2 and, John 3. There is Corinthians 1 and 2 consecutively, Peter, Etc... Why not all be together? I am curious what people here think?

    The Difference Between Some Biblical Characters And Mediums?

    The only thing I can possibly add is, if something is from God, it will keep coming up again and again and will not change. Believing something internally is only something that each person can only know.....Something strikes that internal chord and theater only they feel and know.

    Why I believe sin is a choice.

    How can anyone know what sin really is until they feel the inner feeling of shame? Like a child learning right from wrong...Do right, no punishment, .....do wrong, get punished.

    Question about Scriptural Interpretation

    What I personally believe: Reading any written word or being spoken to or explained from another human's perspective will NEVER make another FULLY understand and KNOW what is trying to be expressed. I explained this reasoning in another post.....If all of us were to read Christopher Nolan's...

    Do you think that technology helps lead us away from God?

    Technology has many goods and bads. I don’t believe anything can be defined as good or bad by ourselves. Technology is what is allowing us to discuss the Bible daily. It helps families communicate when they live states away. It allows first responders to respond quickly. It helps married...

    What if Adam and Eve ate the tree of life?

    Something that sticks out to me is, after God forms judgement on them, Adam names his wife Eve because she would become the mother of all living. The words life and living are very similar.
