    Reading the entire Bible

    I prefer to not read he Bible straight through. For me, I would miss many of the wonders and mysteries that are woven throughout God's word. I "bunny hop" at every opportunity. Reading the prophets, for example, requires an understanding of Torah and I find myself frequently bouncing around...

    Matthew 28:19

    I absolutely agree with your statement: "Every church really should have a ministry of dedicated people to take care of visiting and helping the needy. " Very few churches have operational plans in place to appropriately meet, greet and mentor visitors.

    Matthew 28:19

    These two events happened to me this month. Over the years I became friends with an elderly couple who attend church. They are honest, loving Christians who sincerely try to live according to God’s commands. They’re the kind of people everyone loves and wants to be around. But both have been...

    Only 1 Truth with GOD.

    Welcome to CC TheReal1. I agree God's word has been twisted away from truth and made to fit human understanding. This is also what happened to both Juda and Israel before their destruction. The warning of the prophets are just as valid today as 2800 years ago. They just need to be read. It...

    God's Name

    I use God’s name, YHWH, often. While his name is used more than 6500 times in the oldest Hebrew Bible, it is rarely used in English translations. (The exception is Youngs Literal Translation (YLT).* In place of his name, titles are used. The most common are God or Lord, but the titles El...

    What are the angels?

    I cannot recommend a book....sorry. Angels are but one of several spiritual beings mentioned in the bible. They are usually jointly referred to as Elohim which does translate "Spiritual Beings." Sorry, my post got decapitated: I cannot recommend a book....sorry. Angels are but one of...

    How to Build a Modern Church

    Required Disclaimer: Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior. To Him is due all glory and honor. Nothing I say or believe intentionally diminishes his Holiness or Worthiness. That said: I avoid using quotes or short passages to justify my beliefs. I can quote many passages from many...

    How to Build a Modern Church

    Until the church is willing to take a long, hard look at itself, especially in light of scripture; much false doctrine will continue it infiltrate Christianity. The western church preaches repentance but rejects that concept for itself. In my experience the church will marginalize anyone who...

    Wife's past

    It is implied in your post that you were aware of her past when you took her as your wife. If this is true and if she has remained faithful since your marriage, you need to remember, you have made a covenant with her and with God. That covenant includes the promise that nothing short of...

    Suicide and overdoses DON'T mean you will go to hell!

    A respectful question. Who makes God sound harsh and unempathetic in the old (First) testament? His very first act, creation, is an act of love and grace. (Did we do anything to earn it?) That theme is continual throughout His word. His justice for the faithful and His wrath for evil have...

    Suicide and overdoses DON'T mean you will go to hell!

    There is a big difference between suicide and assisted suicide. Assisted suicide is deliberate murder. God's penalty for that crime is clear.

    Suicide and overdoses DON'T mean you will go to hell!

    No rebuttal, agreement! It is a huge mistake to put God in a human box. God is God and we will never fully understand his grace, his mercy or his wrath. Suicide is a sin, so is an accidental overdose. In both cases someone as rejected God. But not all sin is the same (read the bible...

    so what actually happened - worship wars early 80's to late 90's or so

    Neither Praise and Worship nor music are the issues. (Some of you already said that.) The issues are much deeper. The turmoil, perhaps first noticed in 80's and 90's, really began in 1966. Then, following a long period moral decline, the nation fully turned it's back on God's law, breaking...

    All my Prayers Answered

    I asked God, To ease suffering. He answered! I asked God, To end hunger. He answered! I asked God, To protect his people. He answered! I asked God, To bless my family. He answered! I asked God, To forgive my sins. He answered! I asked God, For world peace. He answered! “Where did you leave...

    I never liked Joe Biden, ever. But I must admit that his endorsement of Kamala after the coup was absolutely brilliant. 'Bama and Killery are eating their tongues right now!
