I know that God in and through us is powerful and we have power in Him, however, there ARE limits to this and speaking with the dead is WAY "Off-limits". As King Saul found out. The bible even tells us, "To be out of the body is to be present with the Lord.". OK so, that voice some might...

This also brings me to an awkward question I am sure many have probably asked a few times in their lives. That question is; "Ya know that one guy in the family that didn't truly live for God but you wondered about him? You know, the one who wasn't sober at funerals and escaped hard conversations...

You remind me in what you said that we need to be careful about this very issue because our enemy loves to play tricks on us and deceive us. We've all probably seen a movie or two about someone's dead relatives communicating with them. I think this to be very dangerous as it opens doors we...

Thank you. This was a great response. Ya know what, I see 2 sides to this. On the one hand, we have the counterfeit of this. The weird and bizarre encounters where demons get to play tricks on us posing as our deceased loved ones through "New Age" or spiritualism. Of course, we've all probably...

AMEN and He is not silent either!

In the last few months for some strange reason, this topic has been coming up more and more. I am wondering if this community here could elaborate. Do you all believe that those believers in Christ who have passed away to Heaven or as we say; graduated to Heaven, do you all believe they see and...

Thanks for the compliment. For me, what got me very interested in the bible was the mystery surrounding the unknown aspects of the lives of people who lived in biblical times. Oh, I heard a lot of stories and opinions and differing "takes" on how folks were. For me, I wanted to find out for...

I LOVE how you responded to this because so many times we can read about people in scriptures and so totally miss their humanity. I think it is human nature to skip details that were aspects to someones life in any written account especially when we have an "agenda" of what we want to read about...

Let's say God offered you the once-in-a-lifetime chance to go back in time This could be any time you wanted in the scriptures and you could speak with anyone in bible history you wanted to then who would you speak with and what would you speak with them about? I have often imagined a "what if"...

I remember the scriptures speaking highly of the Bereans and in churches, if you were a knowledgable person of the bible they would often say, "You are a good Berean."

Your warning reminds me of a rather comical thing that happened. I was at church in Wasilla, Alaska in the fellowship hall. It was after church and people had prepared food for all of us to enjoy and have fellowship after church. As a backdrop to understanding why this is kind of funny, My...

I have a very learned friend who has spoken of this. He lives in Wasilla, Alaska and has studdied atThe University of Haifa in Haifa, Israel, He teaches how to read and speak Hebrew as well as many fascinating studies he speaks of such as the study of the use of the Shofar and the differing...

Thank you for the response. By "The Fall of Israel I am assuming you mean what happened in 70AD? One historical account reads; "Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD by the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War. The Romans besieged the city for months, eventually breaching the city's defenses and...

Musicmaster, First off, welcome! I feel so honored that someone from the land of the bible would join in. Wow! What an honor sir! A few years ago I wanted to get to know Israeli people without having to go through the expense, as it is quite expensive, to travel from here in the USA to Israel...

Thank you for commenting. Ya know, I believe that the subject of there being a rapture or not being a rapture is not one for contention really. I mean whats the worst that could happen if you don't believe in a rapture? Ya get raptured and we all wind up THERE with the Lord anyhow. Hmm, so to me...

"Smiling". I am glad I could make you laugh. Do you have an opinion on the idea or viewpoint of there being a rapture or there being no such a thing as a rapture? Why or why not? What do you think?

Great conversations and the differing views make it quite lively.

The do's and don'ts are aspects or fruits of our faith and love walk with the Lord as He said in His word.; "If you love me obey my commands." That does not mean we are any more or less saved. It pertains to loving God and the way He gave us to express that love to Him. In that He even said we...

You make a great point because I never heard those things from the Lord in my heart. He never said anything to me about it. I know faith-filled, Holy Ghost-filled believers walking with Christ who are on medications. Some of them are on a lot of them pertaining to their medical condition and...

The other day I overheard what was probably THE strangest belief I ever heard of when it comes to medicines and anything that comes from a pharmacy. It sounded like they were attempting to state that all pharmacy was demonic and we should never take a single pill for any ailment. I scratched my...
