    Re: Thread On Catholic And Other Religions

    Yes, loving others is an important theme, in the Bible! But we as humans fail to love with a perfect degree of love, compared to God, who loves people more than anyone else. Still, we are to prayerfully strive to be as loving as is possible to others in daily life, and to repent whenever we...

    Author's intent hermeneutic

    I think the book of Hebrews is directed to both spiritually mature Christians, and also to immature Christians in the church. That's often true, I think, in most of the New Testament books of the Bible. I gather that immature Christians - or in other words, Christians who are young in the...

    Author's intent hermeneutic

    That's right! Those who are guided by God's Spirit will be protected from making seriously wrong interpretations of the BIble! THe seriously wrong doctrine is any doctrines that fail to reveal a correct understanding on the way of salvation as being through accepting Jesus as Lord (God) and...

    the kingdom of satan

    No danger of ending up in hell if one has sincerely accepted Jesus as Lord (God) and Savior of His life. But no true Catholic is headed for heaven. Since Catholics don't teach salvation through Jesus alone, and since they to so-called "saints" - when the BIble strictly forbids praying to...

    the kingdom of satan

    This added information about your process of getting closer to full surrender is interesting too. Yes, I went through a process like that, too. But God sees when people are in a process towards coming into full surrender. And He does all He can to get it to happen if at all possible and as...

    the kingdom of satan

    That was an interesting story of your testimony of how you found Christ! I too, resisted God for many years, in spite of my parents being very godly, and in spite of their excellent biblical training of all of us children (10 in all). But the time finally came when I was about 31, when I...

    the kingdom of satan

    If you understood that Jesus was God in human flesh, then you understood part of the most important things about the way of salvation. And without it, no one can be saved, as they are only trying to please God in their own strength, and failing to rely on God's strength for that and on His...

    the kingdom of satan

    I think there's no harm in watching some of Hollywood's renditions of BIble stories, as long as one knows his Bible well, and has a relationship with Christ. As long as such a movie contains enough of the worthwhile parts of Bible stories. Christians don't seem to ever get around to making...

    "Not by works" - false!

    Well said and true! As the sheep and goats parable of Matthew 25 shows, many who think they are Christians will sadly find out that they aren't! So much better to make sure one is saved and be willing to live in obedience to God's Word, than to end up in hell!

    Would you like me to sometimes post Youtube preacher's messages?

    Thanks for your reply and suggestions! i would keep interacting with others spiritually, while a movie was on, too. And post bible verses, etc. i assume the way to post a movie might be to have on from Youtube playing after clicking to be in video mode in christianchat.com. is that how...

    Would you like me to sometimes post Youtube preacher's messages?

    Hi! I wondered if you might like someone to sometimes record and post Youtube preachers' messages, in times when no one else is teaching the Bible on your site. I could try to do that if so. Also, I'd like to know how to post Bible verses so that they show on the top of the chat page...

    Where else can we find a piece of uncorrupted love?

    The Sorrow Jesus had was a godly sorrow. But the sorrow gained by rich people in I Timothy 6:10 through their sin of greed. So the sorrow of the rich here is evidence of how their sin of greed was just a just punishment. The BIble is full of judging, and so is a good thing. Unless one...

    From Jeremiah for us All

    Yes, the Bible calls our sins, "a disease." But those who accept Jesus as Savior and Lord (God) of their life, are "healed" of that terrible disease, so that they will have eternal life in heaven, if they remain faithful in serving Him through this life. 1 Cor 15:22 22 For as in Adam all...

    Where else can we find a piece of uncorrupted love?

    That's right - we are not to love the things of this world! What we need to love more than anything else in this world, is God! It is by putting Christ first in one's life - that God is most able to fill a person with His love. The Bible says it's ok to be wealthy, but only if one is...

    Mark 16: 15, 16. "He that believes and is baptized shall be saved"... WHAT baptism?

    I'm glad you managed to get saved in spite of your very difficult background! Yes, getting baptized in water is required if able to do it (like not in prison or on the cross, like the thief who repented on the cross next to Jesus). But being baptised in water won't save anyone who hasn't...
