    KJV and the Personal Name of God

    I think that it is our intentions that matter. Obviously God understood that his name would be pronounced differently in other languages. However, if you're searching for a more correct translation, keep in mind there are no "J" sounds in Hebrew. Even in English, the letter J traditionally was...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    Okay I'll take the OSAS side of this. The very statement where you said "they declare themselves saved" shows a complete misunderstanding of the doctrine. The sheep don't declare anything. They are because God says they are. And actually it usurps God's authority to say that the sheep have...

    Once Saved, Always Saved?

    I am from the camp that leans on your side of the fence on this issue. However, I don't believe a true reformed 5 point Calvinist would take your argument too seriously. First off, to address this issue, we must look at it from their perspective. The doctrine is "Eternal Security", not...

    Question for the married...

    This is a good question. This is where perseverance and a good hold on biblical truth comes into play. If divorce would have been an option for me and I allowed my own personal thoughts to rule my life, I would have divorced my wife about year 5 or so. I have been married 16 years and just...

    Should we pray to Jesus?

    I am a trinitarian by creed. However, Jesus is the image of the invisible God, In Him dwelt all of the fullness of the Godhead bodily. I believe that God the Father sent his Word, from within himself, into this world and took upon humanity, a body of flesh; which is the man Jesus Christ. I...

    Should we pray to Jesus?

    I agree, the power in the name of Jesus is from God, because He is the Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ,and Creator of all. There is only one God and Savior, and he has revealed himself to us in Jesus Christ.

    Should we pray to Jesus?

    "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." (Col 3:17) Jesus said that all power in Heaven and Earth was given unto him, so why would we not pray to him. When Peter and John healed the lame man at the gate called...

    Tell me more on this.....

    Yes, but the same God who inspired the 66 books did exist. If this is true, and the vast majority of His followers throughout Christian history would believe those to be the inspired Word of God, wouldn't He ordain the books and inspire the Church to canonize them?

    Why the necessity of "faith"?

    What choice of words? I might be able to clarify.

    Why the necessity of "faith"?

    Orion, come on man, myself and Shad and others don't just imagine this stuff. He has given every man the measure of faith to believe in something greater than we are; however, the faith that we speak of only comes through understanding the word of God. I know, how can we understand something...

    God punishes me daily...it seems

    Orion, You're not going to get the answers you seek by asking the same questions and getting the same answers. I've tried to be as gentle as I can be in responding and trying to convey to you the importance of focusing on Jesus. The only way you are going to get the amount of faith that...

    God punishes me daily...it seems

    Orion, I can't tell you to ignore Shad, he has a very biblical approach, but I don't know if your ready for his approach yet. We cannot change ourselves, we can not live according to the scriptures by our own power or even desire. Come to Jesus like you are with all of your baggage...

    God punishes me daily...it seems

    Don't necessarily reject those feelings, actually feel them and give them to God. Then wait. "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength".

    God punishes me daily...it seems

    I hear ya brother, don't be ashamed to say whatever is on your mind. You have confessed your sin and God promises that he is faithful and just to forgive us, you know that, but it still hurts. I've been there. Why do you feel like you've lost confidence? Have you lost confidence in God or...

    God punishes me daily...it seems

    Jesus will never leave you Orion. Sometimes we have to fall into total depravity before we learn to refocus our attention to Jesus instead of our circumstances. I am also a musician, and I've found that through praise, we can enter into His presence. Sometimes we have to bring a sacrifice...

    Can someone HONESTLY sing, "He's all I need"?

    Yes, Peace Bro. I believe we've beat each other up enough. In Christ, Denton

    Can someone HONESTLY sing, "He's all I need"?

    You said "God recognized a need in Adam that God was unable to supply". :confused Who created Eve? Who supplied Adam with clothing even after he sinned and was cursed to leave the garden? Who provided the ram for Abraham's sacrifice? Who provided the Children of Israel with food for forty...
