    To those who do not believe

    Lord Jesus is the greatest! He forgives your sin with love! Don't be afraid to turn to him and his father. Only us chosen are of God and Jesus, but how many chosen do not believe and are held back? To those who struggle with the logic to it all, note that we on this earth cannot apply earthly...

    How did Mary know?

    Good time of year to discuss this. How did Mary or Miriam know what the angel meant when he said that the Holy Spirit would come upon her? And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son...

    Sinan Shamun from the Netherlands

    Good afternoon everyone, Before I start off, please pardon my English; I'm not a native speaker. My name is Sinan Shamun and I come from the Netherlands. Following text is both an introduction to me and to a problem that's been haunting me for 5 months now. 19 years of being an atheist were...

    The ineffectual god of the cessationist.

    The cessationist .one who has been taught (interestingly from a source external to the scripture) the gift or abilities of the Holy Spirit were for (limited to)specific persons for a specific period of time which has now ended. This (in the teaching passed to them from sources outside of...

    He is Faithful

    Monday, November 14, 2016, 6:28 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “His Tender Mercies.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Acts 1:1-11 (ESV). He Had Given Commands (vv. 1-3) In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day...

    Difference of Holy Spirit Effect Before and After the NT?

    There are those who seem confused with how the Holy Spirit operated before the New Testament was inaugurated and after it was inaugurated. The distinction that I was taught is that after the NT came into effect the Holy Spirit caused a person to be begotten or to become spiritual sons of God...

    Terror

    Guys I have to admit I feel like I'm done for. The bible talks about seeking Esau's birthright with tears and not being able to get it, as well as living in fearful expectation of fiery judgement. Jesus said the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the HS. I fear I have done this. I said "D***...

    Long, Long, Ago, In a galaxy, Far, Far Away...

    ...There were Star Wars! Quite literally! But not the ones written by George Lucas. There was war in heaven between Satan and his angels and Jesus and the host of heaven. Satan lost this battle and was cast out and in his fury deceived the world into rebellion against God. So we found ourselves...

    God's Preferred Gift Today

    We see it from time to time. Sometimes, seen in a forum like this, the recording of prophesy reproduced in a printed message from some earlier event, since they the prophets are said to “speak” (I Cor 14:29). This is my understanding of its use today. Often, we are handed the single...

    What did I do?

    I'm really worried and confused. I feel sometimes like I went too far. Hebrews 6:4-6 seems to say I can't come back from backsliding (I even had a Taoist phase, I regret it so much. A lot of verses seem to say like IF you perservere and believe 100% to the end you'll be saved otherwise not)...

    Born Again?

    Iam sure we are all aware of the term "born again" but few fail to grasp the deeper understanding of this belief in which Jesus mentioned in scripture stating, "In order for one to enter the kingdom of heaven they must be born again of water and spirit. Water symbolizes cleansing, purity...

    Dream: To those w/ the gift of interpreting

    My dream: I was coughing up glass. I had glass in my throat. I knew in my dream I had three pieces of glass stuck in my throat. I coughed up two pieces, but before I woke up, one piece remained. The glass was slightly thick, small and clear in color. No blood. It hurt but not extremely painful.
