    It is fitting that the Anti-Christ withhold the resurrection: to weigh the Devil down

    Hi there, So this is topical for the prophecy of our times: The faith has wrestled with the fear of the Anti-Christ, from generation to generation, but I declare prophetically here, that the Holy Spirit will work this impasse for the Father's Glory! The Anti-Christ is able to withhold the...

    I did it! I stopped thinking about Evolution, and started to think about God!

    Yes, I have struggled with how to answer Evolution, for a long time now: today, I actually got to the point where I stopped thinking about it - what it meant - and started to think about God, how He cares and loves me. The point is that you can do this as a rule - that's what is new, it's not...

    A Friend Who Loves Me

    I saw a meme on Facebook the other day that jumped out at me because of its message. For, I believed its message was false, and that it was misleading, for I believed that it was painting a false image of who God is and of our relationship with him as followers of Jesus Christ. This is what...

    How are we going to deal with the Christian "Stereotype" (the World's stereotype for us)?

    Hi there, So you could probably approach this, from an infinitely large number of angles, I just wondered what you would think: specifically, on the basis of your entitlement to be loved by the Brethren, but as the world sees it? What I mean is, you are entitled to be loved on the basis of the...

    In faith, you may need to offer a gift, as a sign (that you believe you have recovered)

    Hi there, So as a testimony, if you have been struggling with mental health, you may need to offer a gift as a sign (that you believe you have recovered). This is Matthew 8:4. This will help you, not to look to yourself, for recovery - but also, it will give glory to God. You don't have to be...

    Swapping out, that which does not match the "peak" - is more effective than Evolution

    Hi there, So I want to introduce a very simple concept: swapping out. Swapping out, is the idea that a single member of a species can develop an affinity, with exemplars in the species, such that when a child is born to it, that child will have some of the strengths of those exemplars. This can...

    Newer Man, is needed more than older lineage (ape or otherwise)

    Hi there, So the crux of this, is that you should take far lesser confidence in having come from anything, even if it seems more remarkable at first, that you did at all. What is needed is a newer you. This is hard, in and of itself. Even if you did come from apes, and it seemed even more...

    We Just Have to Trust Him

    1 Samuel 16:7 ESV “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart’.” The truth behind these words goes beyond just...

    What's the right way to say "whatever the beginning *was*, it wasn't a pretext for isolated change"?

    Hi there, So I am standing out on my own, at this point - I'm not saying "look at the Bible", I'm not saying "look at anything" - I just want to understand this fundamental point: whatever the beginning was, it was not a pretext for isolated change? The point is that once people typically have...

    You say "Why does God allow suffering?" I say "Why does God allow Himself to suffer?"

    Hi there, So I realised there is a really easy way to bring the discussion on suffering into focus: bring God into the picture! The question is typically "why does God allow suffering?", but the reality is that "why does God allow Himself to suffer?" is a deeper question. If you can't ask the...

    Walk of Believer 3763 - TCR

    (Video version - created by me) Hello you and welcome this will be a informational thread about the walk of the believer. TCR is short for Thompson Chain Reference. For your clarity will be using NASB1977 translation, and also New Living Translation. This is for believers; whom are still babes...

    Jesus knows your body temperature? Is that reason to believe - if knowing apes points to Evolution?

    Hi there, So there is a standard of evidence issue, here - right? We all want something to believe, or to discount something, whatever the case may be - doesn't holding a consistent standard of evidence, encourage a better result, than pinning it on chance? I mean if you could evolve Jesus...

    Would you ask God, for a religion? (I'm just shooting the breeze here)

    Hi there, So I posted something about religion that got mixed results and I had a concept that was sort of relevant - would you create a religion? - being relevant tangentially. Partially my motive is just to work out, whether there is a way to tell between true and false religion - true...

    Christ grows more sensitive, to sin - not less!

    Hi there, So for all you backsliders out there, consider for a moment what you are really losing, when it comes to the Lord and sin. You are not surprising God, in turning from one sin to another and forgetting Him. There is no point at which God says "I have been mindful of sin, but now as the...

    No lesson, needs be learned ad infinitum; no Evolution, needs be engaged ad differens

    Hi there, In other words, you don't get to Heaven and get told "there is one more lesson, that you absolutely must learn. Neither do you find a place on Earth, where you realise that you absolutely must evolve further. Learning as a Man or engaging in an evolutionary way are neutral to the...

    Wherein is our trust?

    Wherein is our trust? Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find someone that endures sound doctrine. Most of those who allege to believe in Christ tend tol heap up teachers to themselves according to their own lusts, tickling the ear. They prefer to turn away their ears from the truth and...

    A species' members all face the same selection pressure, which is better: full response or halved?

    Hi there, So this thread is going to expose my bias, to a significant degree: because basically I feel like a choice should be made, even with little reason to change anything. I'll give you the example in the thread title: a species' members all face the same selection pressure, should they...

    Let's see: if Evolutional potential for a place was used up, you would gamble with mutation?

    Hi there, So the hypothetical here is: the potential for Evolution being used up - as in all resources for Evolution being taken up - you would gamble with mutation, to motivate a change in locale? The luck you got from the gamble (with mutation) would be your best bet? Like you don't even...

    Evolutionists: no idea is so good, that it can't be messed up in practice (receive?)

    Hi there, So this simple truth was on television, and I thought it was quite apt: What are you doing about that, in the context of Evolution? I thought about it for a moment, and imagined one of you saying "that's what we mean by mutation: when something mutates, it is getting messed up", but...

    The Dove, will ascend to higher heights - but will not reveal Himself doing so

    Hi there, So this is a Word for this hour, in the Church: the Dove will ascend to higher heights - but will not reveal Himself doing so. We will have to follow after Him, until we are in Him, at that higher point. This is what is meant by meeting the Lord in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17), but...
