    And there are enough dudes and dudettes who claim to be abducted by aliens and anally probed, don't make it true, no matter how similar the experiences. Remember, Satan can transform himself into an angel of light.

    The Hell of the Bible Explained!

    Some deny the existence of hell, but the Bible clearly teaches it, in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. MANY MISUNDERSTAND the subject, and some still hold to the heathen doctrine of eternal torture, which was attached to Christianity early in the Dark Ages, and so they believe in...

    First Thread: ☕🙂👍📖 Should the Bible Be the Text Book?

    All our studies start with a devotional. Read a scripture, make a few comments, which eventually leads to a 15 minute testimony meeting. Then we get into our studies. It works for us.

    Recommendations for Improving Small Groups

    I pastored a small church in New Jersey, when I declined to serve after some 10 years. (Elders, Deacons and other officers were nominated and elected by the members of the congregation on a yearly basis). It wasn't a big deal, we had 3 elders at the time, who took turns with sermons and studies...

    WHAT TO READ

    Well daisy, as the saying goes "the Truth hurts." Sometimes we need to be as our Lord and His Apostles. Speak the Truth. As Ephesians 4:15 tells us to "speak the truth in love." Amy Carmichael (1867-1951) was a missionary to India. She wrote: THE THREE SIEVES “Let nothing be said about...

    Let's start with verse 29: 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like...

    Cast Your Cares on Him

    "Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7 The above scripture is probably a familiar one because it's such a comfort to the Lord's people, knowing they have an outlet in dealing with their burdens. The Heavenly Father has love and concern for those who dedicate their...

    WHAT TO READ

    LOL ... It isn't my intention to argue, just a friendly debate. Some people unfortunately are way too combative, and I guess that's a good thing when it comes to what we believe and why we believe it. "Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;" ... aah, one of my favorite verses.

    In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

    When we look at the Genesis account of creation, we're told in Genesis 1:1 that "the earth was without form, and void." This was before the creative days. So the earth may very well be billions of years old, mankind according to Bible chronology is only about 6,000.

    Jehovah’s Witnesses

    What's to explain. Jesus said to go and baptize in the name of the Father, Son and holy Spirit. It is debated whether this verse is spurious, because none of the baptisms in scripture followed that formula, thus they were all baptized in the name of Jesus. No as to your "proof" verse at Matthew...
