Hello pixelpusher! I was a member of RF too, I had the log-in name 'lismore', after a Scottish Island. 'Fillan' is another Scottish name, an Ancient Celtic Missionary. (I like Scottish log-in names). Really good to see you here :)

Amen! Here's hoping for at least another 25! Christian Forums like this are a great blessing, fellowshipping with believers on the other side of the world that we wouldn't otherwise meet. Sharing a little word of encouragement. God Bless You Magenta :)

Yes! John 3:16 is a great verse to use because it's the gospel in a nutshell. Jesus himself speaking. Another great one to use is John 5:24, again Jesus speaking: “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has...

Welcome! Good to meet you. I hope you have many times of good Fellowship here! :)

Hi TT! Glad you know me, I'm using a Robin Avatar here instead of the lighthouse there. God willing it will come back? I pray so. Forums like that one and this one are wonderful, we can talk with believers on the other side of the world, maybe even encourage someone who is the only believer...

Agreed! We're all fearfully and wonderfully made by God, basic bible teachings are so controversial now. Hello Tall_Timbers. Good to see you here! I spoke to you on another Christian Forum too which sadly is currently down. If I tell you I'm from Scotland you'll probably remember me, though...

Hello Flannery. Interesting point. Yes it was bad in the days of Noah and will be bad in the Last Days. Just in my experience but I would say that the varied End Times Teachings are a result of differing views on two other doctrines that underpin a person's End Times view. Firstly Israel...

Hello Flannery. If you look at 2 Timothy 3 and 2 Timothy 4 I believe you'll see what's new in our day. There are many examples but for one: 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a...

Moving towards a cashless society does seem to be happening and it's hard to believe such a fundamental change wouldn't be directly related to the End Times. Another sign we're in the last days and that the Lord is coming soon. All we can really do is to be aware of the times we're living in...

As the bible says 'In the last days perilous times will come'. (2 Timothy 3:1) God Bless You :)

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6) IMHO in these days when many seem to be promoting a different Jesus, a Jesus of imagination not of Revelation, it's time to be a Berean. God Bless :)

Hello Eli. I don't believe a discussion on salvation is pointless. I hope too that young people find salvation in Jesus Christ, many young people are coming to faith, saving themselves from a wicked generation (Acts 2:40). But belief in a 'higher power' is nowhere close to believing the...

Perhaps it's a sifting in these last of the last days. Those who are born from above will not fall away, there's nothing worthwhile to fall away into. They'll stand firm for the truth until the Lord returns, which isn't far away. As David said: Better is one day in your courts than a...

Hello Eli. A 'higher power' - , I don't think that's a saving faith, the Book of James says: You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! (James 2:19). What it means that much of Gen Z are turning from the truth to counterfeits and false gospels. God...

I agree. The return of the Jews to Israel after 2,000 years in fulfillment of biblical prophecy was a huge sign. The bible says that Jesus will return to Jerusalem and that there will be Jews there to meet him, indeed they will 'mourn for the one they have pierced' (Zechariah 12:10). This...

Me too, I have several in the garden. They're the most friendly, beautiful little birds. I took a few nice pics of them but unfortunately the files were too large to use as an avatar, God Bless You :)

Hello and a big welcome to the forums! :)

Hello! John 3:16 tells us that the whosoever may come to the Lord, the invitation is open to everyone, anyone. The only people who are excluded from salvation are those who refuse it. God is not willing that any should perish. What else to do with an unrepentant sinner? If an unrepentant...

Hello Cameron! That is indeed difficult to understand then. When someone finds the Kingdom of God they're all in: Matthew 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and...

It could be what you have suggested, it could also be that a believer does not have an assembly nearby that they could be regularly part of. Or perhaps a past bad experience has caused that person to back off for a season, it could be any number of reasons. But there is definitely a great...
