    Works?

    Jesus told the parable of the Pharasee and the sinner to distinguish a difference between proud arrogance, and humble repentance. In my opinion repentance is an action we are given to do. A work if you will.

    Bible Study And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out (It's too late now!).

    I don't think there's a lot of information out there for living by the Holy Spirit. In fact I've heard the opposite more often then not of knowing what's from God and questioning whether a person's actions and beliefs are their own and misguided, or are from God. In fact you hear enough things...

    [__ Science __ ] Legalized Polygamy in America? It’s Coming

    I'm not saying it isn't a real thing, but what I was saying was that I remember a verse in the bible that speaks against the practice of marrying sisters, (I had to look it up, it's Leviticus 18:18), but I don't remember seeing a verse in those laws about having only one wife. Nonetheless...

    [__ Science __ ] Legalized Polygamy in America? It’s Coming

    I don't want polygamy in the US, but as far as it being a sin. I'm not so sure that is a sin or that it ever was a sin. In Israel if a woman becomes a widow before having children, it was a responsibility of one of her husband's brothers to marry her for the sake of her having a child...

    IS GOD STILL SOVEREIGN?

    To Fastfredy0, Look at my last comment, it's just before the reply you've just made. This might explain better what it could mean to have God in control without controling everything. On that note though. Regardless how much God is in control, or how much He controls, there is one challenge...

    IS GOD STILL SOVEREIGN?

    If I can WIP, I have a possible comparison for what I think your talking about. Might help the discussion for God being in control but not controlling everything. If this comparison isn't what your talking about let me know. I'm not trying to put words in your mouth. Regarding being in...

    IS GOD STILL SOVEREIGN?

    The big picture though is that God's sovereignty is part of my hope for both the world and for myself. For both struggles in this life, and hope in the next one. The worry about salvation I think has it's moments in many Christians lives, but if you don't worry about it then you must have a...

    IS GOD STILL SOVEREIGN?

    Free will aside, God's sovereignty is both a heart warming hope, and a hell fire worry. In the end He is either our Father who's love welcomes us into His heavenly home, or He is the head judge who knows all of our sins. That's where our free will comes into play. Without Jesus, our free will...

    A few questions from an open-minded agnostic.

    What I meant wasn't that atheism is bankrupt. It's that it's nothing at all. It's not a world view. What it is, is a describer for not holding a belief, not holding a view. What that means is that anyone who says they are atheist have to get their values and morals from somewhere else...

    A few questions from an open-minded agnostic.

    I think that would be an interesting subject to look into. If you assume the charities have always existed in some form or another, then that challenges the idea that these charities have stemmed from Christian morals influencing them. However if those charities only existed after having a...

    A few questions from an open-minded agnostic.

    Hi Who Me. Before replying to the section I'm quoting from you, I want to say that I agree with your assessment of atheistic morality. From what I've seen the culture around atheists are what shapes their own, even when they disagree with what that culture they are in believes and values...

    [__ Science __ ] Harvard Professor: Homeschooling Is “Dangerous”

    There are several good things that are usually part of public schools, for instance just being a option for education in case the parents don't gave that option. As well as with poor families that don't have enough food, many public schools have lunch programs for the poorer students. But...

    Angels among us.

    Thank you both for sharing what you've seen, even it it's just a small sa out of what you've seen I appreaciate it. LovethroughDove, the closest I can think of (right now anyways) that could have been Angels are stuff that I think are from God Himself. Answers to prayers and inner...

    My Testimony(1978)

    To Neonblue. There are a lot times when humor is used to dismiss Christianity or to insult Christians. But that isn't what happened here. Everyone here was just welcoming you and being friendly. No worries, I get how serious your journey is when you became Christian, and your Christian...

    Angels among us.

    While on CF.net, I've read a lot about Christian perspectives, interptations, bible studies, and juggling what's right and what God wants from us. I've read a little bit about God interacting in our lives, through prayers answered testimonies of a miracle like event, or just lives changed. To...

    What Is Truth?

    Meditation might be good at finding perspective or to let go of worries. But I don't think it is a good measure for finding what is true and what isn't. The bible, is most definately true, but it is also not written about things going on today. People have to read into it closely to...

    [__ Prayer __] Prayer Request for 3 American Children Seized by Norway

    Had no idea. Praying for the families and for this orginization to get cut.

    Believe

    I was never that good at determining what is a verb versus what is a noun. (Or pronoun, adverb, adjective...) With regards to trust I see it as both a noun, such as the trust of the people, or breaking a person's trust sounds like a noun. Where as to trust someone else is an action, it's a...

    we are much more than we think

    Like I said, that kind of faith is a real treasure. When I get to my low points, I don't se myself as a child of God. I have to hope that I am still, and hang onto that hope. But nonetheless in those times I see myself as something worse then just lost. Instead something God and everyone...
