    Will there be religion in heaven?

    Ok, but what interesting things did you and your friend talk about? The church ministering we see now, if it is God's, is preparing us to be like Jesus so we can share with Him for all eternity. So, with Jesus we will not still have our present sort of ministering, since we will have reached...

    God’s View of Time I Prophesy, Theophanies, and Christophanies

    God is concerned not only about time, but His tim-ing.

    God’s View of Time I Prophesy, Theophanies, and Christophanies

    "For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." (Romans 8:29) So, yes Jesus was with our Father before the universe was made. What I have is that Jesus is God's own Son, so perfectly pleasing to our Father...

    Noah & the Curse of Ham

    Well, Noah does not curse Ham who did the thing. But Noah curses "Canaan" who was a son of Ham. Plus, Ham had other sons who are not recorded as being cursed. So, all the ones who come from Ham are not necessarily cursed. Plus, all in sin are cursed. But God did bless them all, after the...

    Christianity no longer seems moral to me

    The first thing I think of is . . . we need to teach our children right from wrong. So, we can't be worrying about how ruined and miserable people don't like our Biblical rules. There are ones who do not know how to love; and so they are against what we must do for God. And in their weakness for...

    New belief among teenagers. What do you think?

    During my college biology studies at a religious college, starting in 1966 if I remember correctly, we were told we humans are animals > Homo sapiens. We weren't told to walk on all fours. And, by the way, chimpanzees and gorillas and others walk on two and on all four. And I think they are...

    Am I a false Christian or a "victim" of Satan?

    Hi, River and Tree . . . welcome to Christian Forums. We so appreciate having you. And you can put some things in the Christian advice forum, too, where there might be some compassionate and wise people who have not been checking here in our philosophy place. But please do stay here and tell...

    Child sacrifice, a transgression/ God sacrifices his only begotten

    One basic, I would say, is God wanted humans to reproduce and replenish the earth . . . right? So, you can see that killing children would not be doing that. That would be against God's purpose. But Jesus on the cross was acting for God's purposes. He even said it would be better if He left...

    What is the "pleasure" we can *take* in everything???

    Hi, Mark > this comes from the post I mentioned. Yes, I would say Paul was not considering the wrongs done to be a pleasure. But how he was sharing with God and loving is the pleasure . . . right during troubles. Even on the cross . . . did Jesus take pleasure? Well, how do you think Jesus...

    What is the "pleasure" we can *take* in everything???

    Ones seem to try to get God to answer them and answer to them. But . . . if we are submitting to Him . . . in prayer . . . this is different :)

    What is the "pleasure" we can *take* in everything???

    I think we in better-off places can have more transformation. It can come with how we learn to relate in our more close sharing in marriage and other settings with close involvement with other people. "Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless...

    What is the "pleasure" we can *take* in everything???

    Oh yeah . . . I like to chew up a chicken bone and get that marrow. And though that marrow is so soft and vulnerable and secret, it is well-protected inside bones, and so important for the body to have healthy blood and other things. Like this, our character can be deep and unseen, but have...

    What is the "pleasure" we can *take* in everything???

    I said > So, my second question is whether or not we can have "pleasure" in troubles while we are concerned only about our own selves? One thing I think of is how Jesus wants us to love any and all people > "if you love those who love you, what reward have you?" (in Matthew 5:46) So, if I...

    What is the "pleasure" we can *take* in everything???

    What I "thunk" in reading your post, here, is in morning prayer we can submit to God so He has us the right way for the day. Then stay this way, in His love. And while we go through things in God's love . . . we have the Heavenly pleasantness and rest of this love. And we even enjoy discovering...
