Benvenuto qui, sono Scozzese. Amo L'Italia, la parte piu bella è Sicilia, Siracusa e Taormina. I hope you have many happy times of fellowship here with us. God Bless You :)

Hello turbo. Thanks for your Q. It's good to discuss this emotive subject in a friendly manner and share viewpoints. I'll think about what you said. That's a tough passage you quoted, in more ways than one! In 1 Corinthians 5 there's a specific case then a general principle. Verse 5: hand...

Beautiful, thanks for sharing! :)

Hello turbo. Thanks for your reply. That's a great passage: Jeremiah 31: 31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took...

Welcome Taylorz! Welcome to the forum, as we say in Scotland, Fáilte! God Bless You :)

Hello! That was a different covenant. The Mosaic Covenant depended upon keeping the Law, a Covenant made between God and man that could be broken by human action. The New Covenant rests on what Jesus has already done for us, the finished work of Christ, a covenant made between God the Father...

A guy signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear some loose fitting clothing. He replied 'If I had loose fitting clothing I wouldn't have signed up!' ;)

Hello Jimmy. Good to meet you, I hope you're well. Just a Q about your comment on 'OSAS'. If you believe you can lose your salvation, how do you know you haven't lost your salvation for quitting church? These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they...

God's gifts and his call are irrevocable (Romans 11:29) God Bless You Anni :)

I love being in church with God's people. Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked (Psalm 84:10) Many of our brothers and sisters in places like China, North Korea and Iran...

Beautiful indeed :)

In America it's called an elevator, in Scotland it's called a lift. I guess we're just raised differently. ;)

Hello BrightRiver. One Christian being fine with magic themes and another not, sounds like a subjective standard. But by the Biblical standard any involvement with it is forbidden. For example there are commands in Leviticus chapters 19&20 about magic/spiritism and the like, on the same list...

Hello Jacob! In this scripture the three members of the Trinity are present as distinct persons: Luke 3: 21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice...

Hello Greyfray. Thanks for your reply. Hope you're well today. It's just a thought but do you ever read the book of Psalms? It can be comforting in tough situations because the author, David, was often in a condition of extreme anguish due to circumstances beyond his control, but then comes...

Beautiful :)

Sorry to hear that you're in pain Greyfray. It's good to have you here. The bible tells us to bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2). Hopefully in some small way we'll help you to bear yours. We live in a fallen world and many things can go wrong because it's a fallen world. The...

Hello Edify. Good message, agreed. I went through a similar position several years ago in a Pentecostal church I was part of for eight years. The first year was precious, then a new pastor who was into 'prosperity preaching', the next seven I stayed in the church going through sadness on an...

Hello Mary! If we look at the teachings and example of Jesus, he wasn't about setting up an earthly, worldly Kingdom. John 18: 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now...

I tell people about the health benefits of eating dried grapes. It's all about raisin awareness. :)
