    One Baptism

    What would you call the body of Christ? There is one baptism, it is spiritual in nature because every believer is with repentant faith and is in Christ, since each came to Christ, they all have this baptism. The command for baptism was the command to Go and baptize those of every nation, those...

    The US Joins WW3

    There are things to see in this world and be aware of where the things are leading to. But there are things said in the Bible and we miss much of it without really looking at we are reading with our attention to it continuing. Isaiah 24 written hundreds of years earlier than the book of...

    The US Joins WW3

    Of course there are wars and rumors of wars, as was said. I do not trust videos of others who show their beliefs and understanding. It is much more likely that many who speak about it have prophecies about the things to come still wrong in more ways. They do not yet all agree with one another...

    Sinful Roots In The Heart

    is that what Christ and the apostles taught us though? Is that a Christ like attitude and heart towards those who have transgressed? “Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was a learned man, with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures. He had been instructed...

    If I was a prophet ....

    There is not what should be called spiritual discernment in that. We should follow what God has shown for us and trust God more in the things. It is showing that there is observance of what government, with the participation we believe we have with elections, shows for us and trusting the...

    Immortality is something that can be given, but only God, who is eternal, and the Creator who gives life, can give it, and it can be given just to physical beings, that would then have immortality given them. In this life we do not have that. It will be for the future when there will be those...

    It did happen at one time, too, actually, which Solomon as king reigned over.

    One Baptism

    There is baptism once into Christ, as we are automatically in Christ and believers when we come to him with the repentant faith. We are then to take action for outward baptism, with water where it can be available, more of it where enough and it can be baptism with submersion, one time as the...

    Food for thought

    If there was not that unity as God and it was really God as spirit withdrawing from the human who is known as Christ, how was there sufficient sacrifice that was atonement for us? It was then just another man tortuously killed, and God let that happen! But that, which would not be justice, was...

    When Does A Christian Become Immortality/Born Again?

    Salvation is just with repentant faith, that we come to restoration to God, through Jesus Christ who came among people, showed the way, and was atonement for us with his brutal death, burial, and resurrection afterward.

    Jesus Preached The Good News of the kingdom of Heaven

    Repentance was always preached with the good news of the kingdom of Heaven where Jesus preached of it. Those who would not repent would not be included for it. And when Jesus said he is the way, it showed that repentance is with faith for coming to Jesus and being restored to God, and God...

    Why Don't We Ever Hear About Wives Who Are Addicted to Porn?

    I'm sure grown up people generally have all seen some porn. It is just too pervasive. Many, and I think most, can walk away from it. But some find seeing any of it too addictive, and they will continue coming to see porn more and more, and their values change with that, with being distorted, and...

    Why is salvation free, when it should be the costliest of all things?

    Salvation is the costliest, somehow what God meant for us to be with our creation is really worth so much to God the costliest gift is given freely to human people who need it so much, animals suffer but they do not contribute to the sin for which this world is cursed and the animals do not need...

    When Does A Christian Become Immortality/Born Again?

    Immortality is a physical quality, it is what we can have with new bodies in the resurrection. It is provided through Christ. In Christ we already have everlasting life, which we always have from now on. The false believers, who have not come to repentance really, do not have that. Being born...

    Equally yoked

    I think for Christian believers they have God to pray to that is really an advantage over any others, about any prospect they see and become involved with, that God would answer if they are the right one. And God would answer, and the believer really should go with what God answers. I wish I had...

    God being the essential being that is eternal, everywhere, all-knowing and without any limit being Creator of all else is love with subject and object, by necessity eternally, which is with Logos, the Word with God who is God, in total unity with the Father who is God eternally. And I see no...

    "When one ask an open question like you have placed here, expect to hear things that may not fit with your understand, just I know I am going to be faced with a lot that myself. ...However when one seeks truth they must also consider anything that seems to stand in conflict with their...

    No more of works?

    Change of mind is part of it, but is with turning from sin we know of and sin we are aware of when we are made aware of it. The rabbit hole goes deep. With repentance we are ready for changing in what we are shown for that, which God will do if we are in the relationship we should have with God...

    Food for thought

    I notice that Yeshua known generally as Jesus did not say at any time for others to worship him. Of course, he was different from any others. There were miraculous things from him, and pithy statements in his communication with so much knowledge of scripture which would be used in his...

    Apostles

    You have a problem with limiting apostles to those when there are any others the Bible names apostles, as was Barnabas, who was leading Saul who was also known as Paul (that was not a change of name, he had both names that were his), Acts 14:14.
