    Resident Evil (Is it really evil?)

    IMHO, I would steer clear of such video games. I spent hours and hours playing COD a few years back. In fact, maybe even all video games (difficult when you're growing up I know). How do they benefit your walk with God? They don't and walking around with a video game character shooting...

    Learning from other religions

    Thank you for the respectful, kind answer back. I apologise if my previous posts to you were abrupt. And you're right, we all have different interpretations of the Bible, but I think we can't go far wrong sticking with it, and not venturing elsewhere for answers. Have a good day Sinthesis. God...

    Learning from other religions

    Jim, I do understand what you're saying and may I respectfully disagree brother. I think we can and do offend God. God isn't some robot void of emotion. Jesus being God of very God displayed many emotions, so to think of the Father not being offended by anything we do is to err IMHO. If we are...

    Learning from other religions

    Why do we need to learn from other religions what not to do, when we have the Bible that tells us what we OUGHT to do?

    Learning from other religions

    Jim - is that a real answer?? Of course we can offend God!!! The Bible is littered with people, nations and behaviours that offend God.

    Learning from other religions

    No, No, No... of course it offends God. To stray from His Word to find knowledge in another 'god'? To learn what, exactly? Do you spend time with another mans wife to find qualities/faults in her you don't find in your own? Man.. come on. God is COMPLETE, PERFECT. Look unto no other! What do you...

    Repent

    Hi, I am just sending everyone a message to repent, to change of our ways, to pray constantly, to cry before God, to take up our cross daily, to rid ourselves of anything contrary to the Word of God. Recently I have recognised what a wretched sinner I am, how nothing good lives in my flesh at...

    We Must Maintain Our Identity As People Of God.

    This is a beautiful post Chopper, thank you. Blake - you're not on your own. I battle day in day out with my struggles, sometimes I feel spiritually high, other times like a wretch. Back and forth, a constant battle, day in day out. I pray and ask God that through His grace I may live a life...

    Who is the AntiChrist?

    Brother, I humbly ask that you remember the blood of Christ and it's power. For we are saved by His blood. Do not err in your thinking. Do not take the blood lightly, please. Do not pass it off with thoughtless comments, or with a rash approach. Remember the sacrifice of our glorious Lord - we...

    Who is the AntiChrist?

    I think we need to be careful of reading scripture in isolation because of a word. Just because 'Antichrist' appears only 4 times in the Bible doesn't mean it is not referenced elsewhere using other words. It's like reading the Old Testament and saying the words "Jesus Christ" don't appear...

    Just What is the First Sign?

    That's a beautiful post. I love a Keith Green song - "Soften your heart", and in particular this part: The message is, oh, so very simple You gotta be like a child to see, yes 'Cause Jesus said let the little children Come unto me You try to make things too complicated But you really don't...

    Futurist vs Preterist debate

    I think discernment is needed when working out what's literal or symbolic. I guess, in this particular instance, I believe this event to be literal, but as you stated, there are many symbolic references so I certainly understand where you're coming from. I genuinely believe that this event is...

    Futurist vs Preterist debate

    Hi Jason, Thanks for the response. I'm not convinced the stars are the representation of Israel in this case. Could you kindly produce some scripture to highlight why you think this? In regards to your 2nd paragraph about winters being too cold, then again I refer to my original post, we...

    Futurist vs Preterist debate

    Hi Jason, I think we need to be careful when questioning what God can do, based on our earthly 'wisdom'. Using that exact same logic we could question how a virgin gave birth to a son, how the sea was parted and created a path for the Israelites to walk through, or how Shadrach, Meshach &...
