It isn't about courage; its about wisdom. God has given warnings to me and people at my church which suggest restraint when it comes to sharing online. Some of those warnings were specific, but all would be wise to check in with God before sharing private information online.

Per: Romans 2: 17 Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God, 18 and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in...

At least we are communicating now. Obviously I disagree when you say that your view is the Lord's. Many people (really all of us to some extent) conflate their interpretation of a verse with God's meaning. I'm not going to write my response all up again, though, since I already covered this...

I hope we are on the same page here. I just want to make sure it is understood that we are commanded to forgive when, and only when appropriate (like God), not forgiving carte blanche to all who have sinned against us without regard for the perpetrator's state of repentance (a common mistake)...

Far from an outdated observance, for the Christian, the biblical Feast of Trumpets looks forward to the return of Christ. Check it out: Old Covenant Verses of Note: Leviticus 23:23-25 Numbers 29:1-6 New Covenant Verses of Note: Matthew 24:29-31 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18...

Not exactly. Let's not forget that God forgives us if we repent, not court blanche or even Satan would qualify. This is why Jesus said in Luke 13:2-3, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? I tell you, no, but unless...

So is forgiveness. Both forgiveness and unforgiveness are potential conclusions properly based on an assessment of the person's spiritual state. If you don't know, give it to God to determine.

God seems to do notable things in our personal lives this time of year, and also around The Feast of Tabernacles and The Last Great Day.

Sounds like the verse I was just reading. In fact it was Jesus who was teaching and he put the burden on the hearers. John 7:14-18 NASB1995 [14] But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach. [15] The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has...

I have no complaints about anything I see you've written, and find it indeed a worthwhile comment for which I sincerely thank you. However I would like to make a clarification for all, to preemptively address a common misconception about love. While love is indeed a critical aspect of any...

It isn't about the issue of men and women in the church, but you might still be interested in reading the book "Pagan Christianity" by Frank Viola. It gets into the history of how church became what it is today and shows how much it is contrary to what the early church was and what was commanded...

Actually an elder at my church, a man, sought God on this verse and what God told him was that the issue is authority, not teaching per se. God emphasized that a woman could (and even should) give an exhortation, share a word, etc., but has no right to command a man.

Friend, I can appreciate worthy eyes helping to make sure I don't overstep, however, there is a place for cutting correction in hope of bringing one to repentance (ex. Acts 2:37). God has taught me that I need to be unabashedly willing to go difficult and ugly places with people, and I don't...

Not sure if you are looking for someone currently suffering, or if you are asking if Christians can suffer these ills. Therefore I will answer both. I did until God healed me of anxiety. The same for my friend who was bipolar - something incurable in the world by the way. Mental illness has a...

It is written: “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." Matthew 7:6 I will be moving on then.

Yes. There is a reason many are called but few are chosen.

Exactly, and thus so do those with God in them, as God enables. In fact Jesus said: "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. ... I will ask the Father, and He will give you...

You clearly do not understand how spiritual gifts work since you just tried to contrast a gift that uses Holy Spirit with being in contact with God. You don't strike me as someone who is genuinely open to learning though, therefore it is up to you to study and seek God for yourself if and when...

It isn't my job to prove anything to you. Rather I'm offering what I think and know to you for you to vet for yourself with God. But no, there were no mirrors or anything like that involved. Don't you know that we are speaking of fallen angels, and God uses holy angels to protect us because...
