HOW OLD IS THE EARTH? According to this site I looked up, the earth is about 6000 years old. But I'd like to figure out myself too - how to determine it's age by looking at genealogies in the Bible, and at any other information in the Bible there may be that can be used to determine the age...

yes, one's walk is important! Speaking of spiritual things and knowing the truths of the Bible is of no use, if not put to action in one's life!

Well as long as you know Jesus was God come down in the form of flesh, and realize that He provided the way of salvation through His death on the cross, and are glad to have Him as Master of your life - you are saved. I don't understand the difficulty you have had in understanding the role of...

Yes, loving God and one's neighbor as oneself, is of top importance, Jesus said! And there are many church denominations. But as long as a Christian has a true relationship with God, and has surrendered their lives to the lordship of God - the most important thing is taken care of - that of...

I don't share your beliefs on this subject on all points, though I am equally sincere in understanding the subject in light of what I see God's Word to say about it. But the important thing above all is that you and are are sincerely saved and remain diligent and in serving Him in this life...

My conscience would seriously bother me if I agreed to take a Covid vaccination, and so I would refuse to take it. Just like Jesus refused to jump off the temple, when the devil asked Him to do such a foolish thing! The Bible says we are not to disobey our consciences, and also that we are...

True, i have noticed that too in scripture. Nowhere does it say that God has a body. Except for Jesus' body, which was used by God to do all did for the world in His lifetime on earth. Luke 24:39 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit...

I agreed with all you said, except that I believe the scriptures indicate that we will see God in His fullness (Father & Son) too. Matt 5:8 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. KJV Jude 24-25 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you...

He doesn't give us hardships and trials, with intent to get us to sin. Tempting is with intent to draw into sinning. Only the devil and oneself can tempt in that way. God only allows us to go through hardships to test us, and to help us grow in our relationships with Him. 1 Peter 4:12-13...

True, but it can't mean to be like God in all respects, strictly speaking. Since we can't be Gods - and there is only one God. And God can't sin, while angels and humans have shown themselves to be capable of sinning. However, it's true that we will be helped to keep free of all sin when...

THE STORY OF MAN FROM THE BIBLE -- #3 (a copy of one of Dad's writings) First, my comments on what Dad (now in heaven, as of 2015) wrote here: I think his explanation sounds basically correct as to what it was like for Adam, when he began his life in the world. I can also agree that it sounds...

That's true! We won't be Him, and He is the only God there is. But yes, the scriptures indicate we will be much like Him in the hereafter - that is in heaven.

I agree with you! That passage in Genesis is one good one to use to explain how though God is one being, He has parts. And the passage in I Thessalonians, shows that each human being also has parts to himself: body, soul and spirit.

That likeness would be both physical, spiritual, and moral. The Son of God took human form in the Old Testament as "the Angel of the LORD" as well as "the Son of Man". He took human form as Jesus of Nazareth in the New Testament. And we are to resemble Him. My comment: True, we are to seek to be...

I will comment on what he wrote on this before posting his comments on this subject. I can agree with what he said on these points: *Jesus had to ascend back to heaven in order for the outpouring of the Spirit to occur *God speaks to us through His Spirit. *There aren't 3 Gods - rather...

I do not agree with all his views expressed in this writing, as the Bible says we are all sinners. And Romans shows how we must struggle regularly against sin. Rom 7:24-25 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our...

Dad's writing: A Second Look at God as El Shaddai Seeing God as El Shaddai, God Almighty, and knowing that He trains His people using tribulation, one may form an inaccurate picture of Him. His training is good. His children learn to endure hardship, which is sure to come, but El Shaddai is...

Testing is any hardship that we must go through. If one always prayerfully puts Christ first in their life, no testing will cause them to fall away. Falling away happens only to those who don't put Christ first, and who love the things of this world more than Christ! Yes, anyone who...

Yes, you're right - it's the meat of God's Word, that is able to make sincere Christians strong and mature, spiritually! But spiritual babyhood often precedes spiritual maturity, it appears, judging by things the New Testament says on the subject. Are you familiar with the ancient book...

But your claim that it covered more subjects than salvation - forces you to contradict the Bible then, in the verses pertaining to the subject that we need to overlook subjects of lesser importance. And that is unwise to cut off fellowship with true Christians, who simply don't agree on the...
