There is a scripture verse that seems to conflict with other verses on the same subject, and I'm curious to know what some of you think. Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven...

You have to admit, there are some pretty outlandish promises in the bible saying what God will do for those who believe, that if taken literally, would make that believer like a god. Promises of impossible things. Saying things like, "whatsoever you desire", and "you shall have whatsoever you...

Someone asked me to tell them what faith is since I claim to know so much about it and at the same time say that others don't. And I came up with something other than telling Him exactly what faith is and how it work. I thought a question and answer might prove interesting. It is at least a...

Let's say someone you love is not doing so well, and you want God to heal that person, because the doctors can't help them any further. What would it take to get God to answer your sincere heart felt prayer? Would it even matter if you did have the faith for their healing? What if you didn't...

About a week ago, I read some excerpts from a JW who I think believed Jesus was once a man, or at least was born of the Father at one time, hence the title, Son. And therefore doesn't believe that Jesus always existed. When we think of a mother or father we tend to think of them as a parent or...

In the parable of the sower sowing seed, Jesus said that the sower soweth the word. What word is that? Is it the gospel? In Isaiah, God says, so shall my word be... What word is that? Is it the law or prophecy? Paul said the word of God is the power of God. Is that the promises of God? What is...

We all know Jesus is Lord, Master, King, and God, who rules and reigns over all, but is He also servant to the believer? Joh 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do...

Does God have to do what is written, or can He choose to what He wants to? I ask, because He has made some pretty outrageous promises to the believer, and many Christians are taught that God sometimes says yes, sometimes maybe, and sometimes no, depending on what His will is. If that be the...

I am open for correction on this, as I honestly don't know if this is right or not, but is seems that the righteous might not be born again, where the just are. I think to be righteous, means to walk or be upright in moral standards or to be law abiding or obedient to the laws of God. (for...

FYI, some of the info on this thread will be from a prior post from another thread. So the question is, are new spirits created or only the old ones we read about in the bible? I have another question. Aside from the triune God, are all spirits either an angel or a demon? Are there other kinds...

If I am an engineer or architect who designs commercial buildings, and I hire laborers and subcontractors to erect the buildings, while overseeing the construction projects to the end, who made the building? Technically, the subcontractors and labors did. But who gets the recognition for...

Is it possible for a person to go in and out of Christ or the kingdom of God/heaven and yet remain a child of God or lose their salvation through sin and get it back again when they repent?

This thread is about how to get rid of things by faith. Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. According to Jesus, you have to believe you have received the thing you desire when you prayed, before...

God is love, and God's will is for all to come to a saving knowledge of Christ and to have life and life more abundantly. God said that first, not me, and it applies to the here and now, not the sweet by and by or the here after. God's will is for your good and not evil.Jer 29:11 For I know the...

My apologies for inadvertently posting this thread on another forum. Jesus made a profound statement to Pilate, before the Jews and Pilate condemned Him to death. Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I...

Jesus made a profound statement to Pilate, before the Jews and Pilate condemned Him to death. Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear...

Many people on this forum have spoken against desiring things, or even having things of this world, so I thought it might be a good topic to discuss, because to me, that raises many questions. Like, is it wrong to desire anything other than God and the things that pertain to the kingdom of...

This thread is in response to a request to show or prove via scripture, that name it claim it is not a heresy, as it has been said by so many professing Christians, but a truth of God's word. What one does with this truth, has no bearing on what is written in the word of God, nor does it negate...

I can understand to some degree why most of you believe in the OSAS doctrine, because you have some scriptures that would suggest the same, even though not one person attempted to try to prove me wrong when I was showing contrary. No, not even one person tried to explain away the scripture...

This has to be in two separate posts to fit. Sorry it's so long. A couple of nights ago someone posted a youtube video of a popular tv preacher who was trying to show people why they can never lose their salvation, once they are born again, or OSAS. And he raised some good points, like...
