Thank you for some thoughtful comments. I'm still a newbie but I find it interesting that the ages of who used to be here versus now, including myself, suggest that the population here has simply aged and not been replaced. It makes me wonder if it's an experiential thing from as the internet...

1) Because free will is a real thing. Not everybody chooses what is good. Satan sure didn't and many decide to go his way. 2) In fact, Satan is pervasive in his attempts to corrupt us by offering us some form of pleasure for sin. Pride would be the most obvious example, where we feel we are...

First off, just to be sure we are on the same page here, I read your last Bible quote (repeated above) as talking about what was done (Jesus dying on the cross) having happened once, not that it was prophesied only once. Second, when I tried to look up your quote, it was not Colossians 1:21-23...

Please test all things for yourself, but God has indicated in my tiny corner of the world that there are Prophets again because it is time. And do not take any man's word that they are one, but rather test them with God. One clue is that it is about function, not self-glorification. Realize...

It is not the job of scholars to interpret but that of Holy Spirit. John 16:12-13 NASB1995 [12] “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. [13] But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative...

I was actually just addressing this with my mom who is facing a hard decision on her finances. Basically, as the Bible says, we can't change things by worrying. Therefore I counseled my mom to make the best decision she can and trust God with the rest. Even if she were to make a poor decision...

Beware the difference between focusing in on something real - prayer, God, a verse, the spirit, your spirit, a daydream, etc.; and things like emptying yourself or otherwise tamping down your soul (as with meaningless repetitions). The former are utilizing and engaging the you God has made. The...

This is the method I use. You will need a brand new, unopened jug of milk; some store-bought kefir as starter, and a glass with somebody to drink a cup of milk. Beware that I have had problems with the starter getting too old at times. Also, be sure to keep everything clean and uncontaminated.

First off, Jesus only said "It is written" when he was directly quoting previous scripture, but he was there with them face to face to address other matters and did. This is why 1 Corinthians 13 specifically indicates that we will have prophecy until we see God face to face. Jesus was very much...

Yes indeed, discernment is very important. I know a Prophet who got a prophetic word that even if a word is technically true but the source is off, then the word is off. Just like when Satan quoted the Bible to Jesus, source matters. And Satan can and does make some pretty darn convincing...

The above is a statement from ignorance. The Bible didn't tell me that my student was autistic, my basement was clear of bed bugs, or that my friends were going to be at the store on a day that I was feeling down, yet that is just a tiny sampling of the types of things God shares through...

As someone with a prophetic gift, there is a lot of oversimplification of prophecy on this page though it looks like people are giving it an honest look and have some good points. First off, foretelling is only one type of prophecy. Much of prophecy is about understanding the spiritual factors...

So you also don't like pineapple on pizza? Yet one more reason to think you are a cool guy.🍕

Lots of good points there. You also remind me that God wasn't doing it all for just Israel's sake - He was doing it as a witness to the whole world. Since the world was more centered around the Middle East back then, it made sense to put Israel where it is in the thick of things.

Because America was slated for something else.

"Drop Dead Diva" and "Cake Boss" tonight.

Maybe a little early but close enough.

I am called only to point people to the truth. It is up to each person to decide if they want it badly enough to go after it. Did I possibly misspeak very slightly? Yes, I have already acknowledged as much. Tripping-up on the technicalities of a minor miscommunication, though, suggests someone...

Yes, but I'm not castigating you. You did hit one of my pet peeves but mostly I'm razzing you because I think you are a cool person and I think you are mature enough to take it. Now shall we fight to the death on whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza? 🍕 I'm anti, though in truth I'm much...

In truth, do to your own as you see fit, but it does hurt my heart for a few reasons. First, I have no visible path to ever owning my own place, though I don't dismiss God's divine intervention to do the impossible. Therefore it is painfully frustrating to watch those who are blessed with such...
