    Omnipresence...

    I need some input; if anyone has some resources, ideas or explanations? The subject is omnipresence. We know God is an eternal self existent Entity; thus the creation is totally separate from God, although He operates within it. I was talking to a person on a Facebook thread a friend of mine...

    One day, skipping through the Book of Revelation... I found:

    I've been working on a Bible study in the book of Revelation for 5 or so years now and got some observations I'm looking to "bounce off" some Amillennialists. (Now how to condense and simplify this so we don't get "stuck in the weeds" too much?) The Atonement: Let me start with conclusions...

    Verse expositions about how our faith originates from God's work.

    This comes from a study I'd done a long time ago, that was basically a list of "items" given to us from God. On this list basically is a bunch of traits that could fall into "fruit of the Spirit" category. So this exposition is basically about Scriptures I'd found related to faith. The more...

    Why Me? (Reflection on Election)

    Therefore being justified by faith....... 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we...

    What did Adam know / figure out?

    "All dogs go to..." (the new earth)?

    Here's a bit of theological "furry" fluff for all the pet lovers out there who've wondered what becomes of their beloved fuzz faces on the other side of eternity? I've been thinking about this recently in the wake of my dog having a medical issue where it became quite clear that his pain was...

    Theory on the origin of evil

    Origins of Evil Theory I've often wondered about the origins of evil? Many church fathers and people in Christian circles believe that evil began with Satan. This may be true, depending on your definition of "Satan"; but if we look closely at the first few verses of Genesis, we'll see that this...
