    Question regarding prayer

    "Lord, I believe. Help me with my unbelief". Somewhere along the line, we have to take God at His word. We have to quit treating God as if He was a more powerful version of fallen man. God is love. Jesus came to seek and save the lost. The gospel is for the broken hearted, the captives, the weak...

    Supernatural or Spiritual?

    The word "supernatural" does not appear in most translations of the Bible. As far as I know, only the Message Bible uses that word. I will not use the word "supernatural" if I am referring to the spiritual. And this is why. The prefix "super" means above, over or beyond. We have words like...

    Scripture Based Flat Earth Proposition

    God declared His glory through creation before there was any scripture. God's creation still speaks. The problem is with FE understanding of scripture, not with the power of observations that prove that the earth is a globe.

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    The differences are so minor as to be irrelevant in most cases. For example, I prefer the word "wilderness" to desert. NIV uses "desert". Whether or not Jesus was tempted in a desert or a wilderness makes not a bit of difference to the gospel. God preserved His word perfectly in the original...

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    Of course. So what do you propose? Make one ancient and iffy translation your only authority? The KJV was not translated by God but by people. Learn Greek and cut out the middle man. What you will find is that scholars generally get it right.

    Assassination attemp against Donald Trump

    It troubles me how little attention was given to this victim of such a senseless attack.

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    I agree. What I don't accept is that the KJV is the sole acceptable translation. Jesus did not speak English, in case you did not know. So His words and that of the apostles must be translated. That's where differences can occur. You'll have to learn Greek and Hebrew if you want to avoid...

    Trinity

    Jesus forgave sin, which only God can do. Mark 2: 6-11 But some of the scribes were sitting there and thinking in their hearts, “Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within...

    Trinity

    John 10: 17& 18 The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”

    The US Joins WW3

    Not impossible but highly unlikely. How do you get 50 million people to agree to join forces against America in the first place? Why would they even want to wage war against what has become their new home? And how would such a plot unfold without the authorities knowing? So no, no element of...

    Trinity

    Jesus claimed to be God on many occasions. Do you need chapter and verse?

    Trinity

    You questioned whether or not Jesus really died. So either you are questioning Jesus' integrity or asking a pointless question. Why would you do that?

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    No, but words that have changed meaning over centuries is. And false teachers use those now incorrect translations to promote false doctrine. That's just an example of why the KJV is not the be all and end all of Bible versions. As a young Christian, the majority of preachers used the KJV. And...

    The Error of KJV-Onlyism

    There are many problems that revolve around the KJV. The false prosperity and "blab it and grab it" people were JKV people. One misinterpretation is the word "conversation". The KJV Bible says that he who ordereth his conversation aright, I will show the salvation of God. So the "name and claim"...

    Trinity

    Yes we can. You can't rise from the dead if you are not dead. Jesus made it clear that He was going to die. He is Truth, not a liar.

    Can we be friends with Latter Day Saints or Jehovah's Witnesses?

    I am the same way about Mormons and JW's Most of the JW's I've met are sincere but deceived. There is something about the Mormon religion that grates on me. It pays to be careful. The worst heresy with JW is that Jesus is not God. About 3 years after I was saved, I heard an ex senior JW figure...

    Pray for my marriage

    I would highly recommend Mark Gungor. You can buy DVD's of his seminars or find him on youtube. He is highly entertaining which is a bonus. That's not to say counseling won't help. One of his seminars is "How to stay married without killing anyone". The title gives you an idea of his approach...

    Scripture Based Flat Earth Proposition

    FE is a theory that has been debunked so comprehensively that it no longer qualifies as a theory. Definition of theory: "A well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world". Well substantiated? No way. The opposite. Thoroughly debunked.

    Gambling

    Certainly that can be the case. I gambled for the same reason. But vast numbers of people, at least in Australia, gamble in the hope of getting rich. The world sells the false dream that riches mean happiness. The love of money is still the root of evil.
