    Does anyone have any spicy/flavorful recipes?

    I'll give you the only spicy recipe I know. I fix myself a breakfast like that. Take an egg and add half teaspoon of salt mixed with half teaspoon of chili powder. Beat the egg nicely with the salt and chili powder. Take two slices of bread and dip them in the egg and put it in the frying...

    Need help badly

    I cannot truly say I understand how much you would be in suffering right now to say that you don't see a way out of this. Although I will say that you have to live this life. Even with all it's loneliness and bitterness and suffering. You are heavy burdened by the troubles you have to face in...

    My own thoughts on the mark of the beast

    There are so many direct and indirect references to the mark of the beast you can see in pop culture. Enough to say that even those who are not Christians also have a general idea of what it is about. Talking from where I am from (India) and also what I believe, it is not evil to be a leftist...

    Is repentance necessary for forgiveness?

    We're all sinners in need of the saving grace of God. The world we live in connects us to people who are sinful and we come in contact with them and live among them on a day to day basis. The media we consume and the things that we do makes us sin before God so that not one of us can say that...

    To what extent does the OT apply to Christians?

    In Romans Paul states that all foods are worthy to be eaten, but if someone considers something unclean, it is unclean to them. "I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean." -...

    To what extent does the OT apply to Christians?

    The Bible has two halves. Maybe not equal in pages perhaps, but in terms of importance, definitely. The Old Testament (Old Covenant) and The New Testament (The New Covenant). The Bible is not complete without the New Testament. The questions that you ask are answered in the New Testament. 1...

    Do catholics worship God or the pope?

    Catholics gather to worship in the Mass. During the Mass, there are two Bible passages that are read by lay Catholics. Usually one from the Old Testament and another from the new. Then the priest who ministers will read a passage from the Gospel. This is followed by a sermon. Then they...

    Tell me about the Heart of God....

    I think God knows more about our hearts than we do of His. I'd say that there are very few blessed times that I've heard Him speak to me. Like assuring me in a time of need. It could be a physical need or a spiritual need or a worldly need. It could be anything. There is no heart as good as...

    Singleness: Blessing or curse?

    Contextually speaking, I was giving my thoughts about being single. I believe that God wants us to live a full blessed life. My reference to the Bible in this situation is not inaccurate. I quoted that there is no curse that can prevail against Israel. Meaning that no one on earth can curse...

    Singleness: Blessing or curse?

    I don't understand what you mean. I thought I was just giving my thoughts to the question asked by the person who started this thread. It was a simple answer to a simple question. I'd like to keep it that way. If maybe you know something more than me, you're welcome to share here as well. No...

    Singleness: Blessing or curse?

    It's a little extreme to put being single as a curse. The Bible says that there is no curse against Israel. So, God does not give us anything that is bad in life. (Numbers 23:23) Throughout the years of human history, some are blessed by God to find a good life partner. While others are not...

    How is loneliness while single different from loneliness in marriage?

    So, you just asked what's the difference of being lonely when you're single and of being lonely when you're married. Well, we all come from families. So, whether we married or not, most of us, at least 80 to 90 percent would know or have a concept of what a marriage is or what a relationship is...

    Who was Jesus praying to in the garden of Gethsemane?

    I didn't know. Thank you for sharing this information. Something did feel funny and out of place listening to his teaching. Well, for me I don't take the teaching at face value like he puts it. For me, I'd like to think of it more as an attitude. But there's no excuse after reading this and...

    Who was Jesus praying to in the garden of Gethsemane?

    It may not be there in the scripture. But Jesus did cast out demons. And while He cast away demons, He doesn't go into detail about who the demons were. He just cast them away. Likewise our duty is to cast the demons which hinder our lives as Christians away from our lives. I know people are...

    Who was Jesus praying to in the garden of Gethsemane?

    I learned about this through Pastor Derek Prince's teaching. I feel what he teaches is authentic and follow his principles towards rebuking demons. Please give a listen to the link I share. Pastor Derek's entire teaching is there on youtube as "How to be delivered from demons." I'm also sharing...

    Who was Jesus praying to in the garden of Gethsemane?

    No, I disagree. If there is a spirit of jealousy, a spirit of confusion, a spirit of frustration, a spirit of anger, a lying spirit, spirit of fear, spirit of unbelief, then there is surely a spirit of doubt. Because all these are human emotions which the evil one manipulates through his demons...
