    Do we stress baptism enough?

    Thankyou Magenta. I have been to hospital for a heart operation which was needed to keep me alive and it has been many weeks of recuperation and back to a semblance of normality. Being 80 years old these things can take time.

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    I don't know as I have not studied them and it is my policy not to comment unless I have some knowledge of the matter.

    Do we stress baptism enough?

    In the days of the New Testament Church, it was common for cults and the worship of other gods to baptize their members. They did this because you were not considered a fully committed member until you were baptized. And they did not sprinkle, they immersed. Personally I believe that the fully...

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    I am so glad it is not going away soon. Having read of so many Pentecostal/charismatics giving up all to go and serve the poor of this world and bring them to Christ, what they do is invaluable to the kingdom of God.

    Mystery of Madeleine MCCann

    Seven years ago (I think) a darling little William Tyrell was playing outside his home and he just disappeared. He was three years old at the time. The police have interviewed just about everyone who might have been involved but they have turned up blanks. He would be 10 years old now but they...

    Evolution

    Nice one Nehemiah. In my studies over the years, I have worked out that most people who do not believe in God or believe in the god of evolution do so not because they don't believe that God exists. They do so because they don't want God to exist because if he does they are up the creek without...

    Evolution

    With all due respect some bloke that is rather a mindless attack and unwarranted. Do you not realize that your comments are considered by many as willful stupidity? Do you not realize saying that a person knows nothing about science leaves you open to the accusation that you are quite bereft...

    Evolution

    Mainly the scriptures often in the original Greek Language and books that have been written dealing with the topic from Christian writers who have earned the respect of the worldwide Christian Community.

    Abortion is...

    And another thing that hasn't struck home to them is that abortion is discrimination against downs syndrome babies as most of them are aborted. So if the baby has that disability, they are considered not fit to live.

    Reformed Church in America splits over LGBTQ

    Judging by what I have read of late regarding homosexuals they are not at all interested in what they are demanding. They want to infiltrate to destroy. In my country since same-sex marriage was legalized, there was a rush and a total of 4% of them got married. Then it all died down so in fact...

    Abortion is...

    You will find as I have after studying abortion for 30 years, that lies is the name of the game for those who enjoy having babies murdered. They come up with some spurious claim and when the steam runs out of that one they then invent another one and when that has run its course they come up...

    Abortion is...

    It is not safe for the baby being murdered. And according to the many books I have on the subject, it is not safe for women to have their babies killed. Still suffering 20 years after the abortion? Crying when they see a baby in a pusher? The only person it is safe for is the killer.

    Genesis 1 and 2 ~ Creation

    Did you hear about when God had a chat with Adam and said to him "Adam I want you to go down that valley: Adam said "What is a valley" so God told him. Then he said "Go over that stream". Adam said, "What is a stream?" So God told him. Then he said "On the other side you will find a cave," Adam...

    Genesis 1 and 2 ~ Creation

    One of the problems which atheists, in particular, get all het up about is the seven days of creation and the 6,000 years to its origin. They claim that evolution denies the possibility of that. What they don't see is that most of what they claim is conjecture and cannot be proven. Most of...

    Reformed Church in America splits over LGBTQ

    There are plenty of denominations that have fallen under the spell of the homosexual juggernaut. I read of one the other day that had ordained a transgender female. In Australia, they have their first lesbian bishop. Some are going to marry two men. Once you let the cat out of the bag, you are...

    A couple I am friends with and work with have found out they are expecting. What advice can I offer them?

    I am what is billed as a silly person as I rarely take anything seriously. I would like to offer two pieces of wisdom. One is, I have 12 grandchildren from two to 18 years. They are super duper fun and God-given. it is never a dull moment when I am with them. As I have taken the trouble to...

    Cessation of Gifts

    Just a thought. it is interesting that the church and or some believers get all het up about tongues. The fact is that some people will never be convinced about anything they don't want to be convinced about. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist or not Gods' plan. Sufficient to say I have read and...
