    What did He see?

    The heavenly Father is God to Jesus Christ, and as Logos he is God to the heavenly Father, Hebrews 1:8. They are in full unity, with full agreement, as one being, the Supreme Being, through all eternity, there is just the one true God. And the name of God, that the three who are the one God...

    Beware of online ministries

    Ministries are in unexpected places. What draws our attention are the things shown in media, but ministries shown that way are not necessarily the reality that is just God's doing. But people are being reached, with the gospel of salvation in Christ shown to them, and ways of godliness revealed...

    Its time to shine saints.....lets bring in the harvest.

    I see I am blessed with the gift to write from my creativity. I certainly will be using it for published works. But I write so much, wanting to use the creativity and share it to others, it is seen in samples as well. I don't show any of it through this forum, but there are places with it...

    Beware of online ministries

    Ministries overall might lead some from reading the Bible themselves to learning what they will for their faith from those. These all we should beware of. Any others can give their distortions with what they teach, of biblical Christianity, even if there is what is biblical with it. We can error...

    What are these verses in Acts 15 talking about?

    Yes the ark of the covenant was captured, and it was to the Philistines' own disadvantage. So they had it brought by their milking cows to a village of Israelites, and it was taken to stay for years and years at another Israelite site, and David was rightfully having it brought to Jerusalem...

    I Samuel 3

    If you disagree with my assessment you could post a copy of it in response to me right in this thread, rather than have me go look for it. But a disagreement would have to come with some effective persuasion, to have me change my mind in any way, because I am quite sure of that assessment...

    What are these verses in Acts 15 talking about?

    Yes that was it. I had the idea there was the efforts to continue that, until the temple was finished to be in its place.

    Is Avoiding Sexual Sin Required for the Christian? Is it Possible to Avoid Sexual sin?

    I figure Colossians is meant. Acting on lust is really excluded. Anything based on lust must stop. Really, too many believers settle with engaging in gluttony, which is as much sin, which makes their belly their god. We need to look for God's will, and Yahweh is the real God. It is established...

    Apostles

    There were the twelve apostles over the church who originally were seated in Jerusalem, including Matthias who met the requirements for that. A few others were called apostles but were not in that same position, we know both Paul and Barnabas were called apostles. The twelve were over the...

    What are these verses in Acts 15 talking about?

    I didn't get that in my mind when I was reading it. There were walls of the tent that originally enclosed the place of the ark with the accompanying instruments. And then, for the time before Christ was to come, it was supposed to be thought of as the place where the presence of God could be...

    Is Avoiding Sexual Sin Required for the Christian? Is it Possible to Avoid Sexual sin?

    Of course if in your conscience it is sin then masturbating yourself is sin, for you. It would understandably be hard to give up, you say that you are married now, I might guess it could mean you may have enough relief with your spouse. What if your spouse is masturbating you, is that a sin in...

    What are these verses in Acts 15 talking about?

    The gentiles do not have to do anything to be saved, they that are responding to God's grace through Christ being made known with faith which is with repentance that is made possible are saved just with that, not even doing anything according to God's will, which they are yet to do, when they...

    I Samuel 3

    Death came into creation with the fall when the original man disobeyed in rebellion to God. Sin, any sin, brings curse into the world, separating the world with us from God's providence. God is still gracious and so Christ was sent, the incarnation of the Word with God who is God, for...

    I Samuel 3

    The Bible is showing God's perfect design, from the flawless good will of God that is right for us, and how rebellion from humans of God's creation came to the fall with sin that ruined that world for us, and leads to death for all of us, and the rest of it is unfolding hidden truth with the...

    Does familiarity breed contempt

    God is loving, I don't think God was unfair in not giving Esau the birthright and blessings. Esau despised God and godly things, and he showed that continuing with what there would be from God meant nothing to him. Even though Jacob was also one with his own sins, God could work with him like it...

    What did He see?

    The unity of Logos the Word with God who is God and who became flesh as Christ the Son of God with the heavenly Father and the Creator Spirit is entire with agreement in will, that there is never disagreement. I have few following me on Twitter, I would continue with it with having any more.

    Is Avoiding Sexual Sin Required for the Christian? Is it Possible to Avoid Sexual sin?

    First it should have definition to what is sexual sin. Some think masturbating is a sin. Passages in the Bible don't say or suggest it is, but there are passages showing that lusting is a sin. So if it is with lusting even with using just the imagination it's still sin. What about married...

    What did He see?

    Unseen universes, were they to really exist, are irrelevant. To us they are irrelevant. Were there unseen universes with any to observe within them their universe would be relevant to them, but ours would not be, to them. If they were to exist. Heaven is relevant, and hell is relevant too...

    What are these verses in Acts 15 talking about?

    There are certainly future blessings, not all are in the past. Context shows of the Jeremiah prophecy, "It will happen if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by name, 'as Yahweh lives', but if they will not hear I will pluck them up." In the Amos prophecy 'this' is what...

    Does familiarity breed contempt

    I am a black sheep. I have been a Christian believer from long ago. I got past such things I held against others knowing I was related to them, so I would not grow to hate them. But it was not the same for others, for what things they held against me. Some remained or grew distant, it was hard...
