    Bible Study What is Grace?

    Yes, I might have the intelligence to know what questions to ask. But I'd rather have the wisdom to know the answers. God has seen fit to bless me with the former, not the latter. I guess that's why I ask, and why I'm so grateful when others answer. When it comes to wisdom, I'm a beggar...

    Bible Study What is Grace?

    I don't understand how the work of Christ's crucifixion being sufficient leads to the conclusion that grace is not God's undeserved power. But I do appreciate your taking the time to try to help me figure this out. Thank you. :)

    Bible Study What is Grace?

    You see, I'm asking because I'm confused. I was sure grace was God's undeserved love, too. That is, I was, until some told me grace is God's undeserved power. What do you two think?

    Bible Study What is Grace?

    I'm not looking for a debate either, Farouk--just answers. :) Yes, I've heard many define grace that way. I know what those who use this definition believe. I'm just curious why they hold this belief. Then I'll know why I should believe, too. Thank you. I did a search of Hebrews 9 and...

    Bible Study What is Grace?

    Hi, Chopper. Thank you for the gift of your compliment, which like grace is also undeserved! :) You see, I might give the impression of being wise by asking questions that make people think. But it's really not wisdom at all, when you think about it. For I ask about what I myself don't...

    Thanks, Farouk. I've heard some people define grace differently. Please tell me why you believe grace is unmerited favor.

    Bible Study What is Grace?

    I'm just wondering what grace means in this passage: 8 For it is by grace you have been saved,through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God...

    I'd be interested in having a second one-on-one, too, if anyone else is interested in helping me. :)

    Shall we just pack it up?

    I did notice times when the site was down prior to the holidays. That being said, I think the new site is much better. It also offers something many other Christian forum sites do not--a smart-phone friendly layout. It's easy to view and post using an iPhone, Adroid phone, or other handheld. :)

    Eugene: Please let me know when you are ready.

    I would like to request that anyone who feels led to do so would pray for me and Eugene. Perhaps pray that I would know what questions to ask to know what is true, and that Eugene will be given the wisdom to answer. :)

    Thanks, Eugene. Please do. :)

    Confused by Catholicism

    I don't know. Maybe the discussion may start here, and a moderator will keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't turn into a debate? I'm really just wanting to figure this out for myself. I actually don't want to be Catholic, but I do want to follow the truth, wherever He leads me. :)

    Confused by Catholicism

    So, I'm not sure how to go about asking for help. For many years I condidered myself a born-again believer. I even taught the bible at various evangelical churches. Then I spent some time at a Catholic forum debating doctrine. I did my best to try to understand why they believed, because I...

    So why are U not playing?

    Yeah, unless you have a Jedi counselor. Then you can throw stones! :) I do like having lightning bolts at my fingertips as a Sith. I get myself in trouble by making morally good choices, though. My companion doesn't like my merciful attitude, saying he'd rather eat them, and Sith NPC's find...

    So how do U like playing the smuggler? I was thinking of starting one. I challenged one player to a duel and his smuggler stunned me so many times as he ran away from me that I could hardly get him with my light saber. :)
