    Theological Truth and Real Truth

    I doubt any denomination has it all completely correct. But on the things that matter, the things concerning being saved, most of them agree. And it's those details that matter, not which denomination you are part of or which school of theology you believe the most.

    Theological Truth and Real Truth

    For now to me this changes the common practice of making promises. Don't try and strengthen your yes by saying I promise, or strengthen your yes by saying I swear by heaven. By God, or even by the earth. Not even to swear on your own life on a matter. It should be that your simple answer of...

    Theological Truth and Real Truth

    I've heard some say that we should bring our thoughts to God directly and Ask Him, others say the same thing except to bring it to Jesus. But in the end they are talking about the same thing. To have direct access with the Holy Spirit, and to rely on Him. Let the Holy Spirit guide us directly...

    Theological Truth and Real Truth

    I use to believe in the value of promises, and then I read a teaching from Jesus in the sermon on the mount that we should just let our yes be yes and our no be no. Anything more then that is from the evil one. This tiny lesson is huge though and it goes towards making promises or swearing...

    Theological Truth and Real Truth

    Hold on a second. If I'm reading this discussion correctly, then there are a few things to straighten out. First is about holding the bible as our foundation, as a source for answers, and the first guide we should look to. If we answer based on the bible, then that is a good foundation to...

    Why the difference of forgiveness?

    I'm sorry if I offended you Boaz. I was concerned that the reasoning was a kind of reasoning that talks about forgiveness without actually forgiving someone. Thank you for clarifying that that is not what you meant.

    Do you believe that God is working through you?

    Man, that just hurts. You hear me and then switch networks. How am I not suppose to take it personally? :cries :lol I wasn't shouting yet? And I was trying so hard. :confused

    Question

    Hmmm. I don't know about those translating issues. Might need to consult some one who's studied bible translations in the original texts (or the closest texts we have to the originals). Maybe a concordance would help?

    Question

    On the other hand though I think there's a verse in the old Testiment calling wisdom a "she." So in that sense of the spirit of wisdom is a she (or is it the angel of wisdom?), then it's possible for the Holy Spirit to be considered a she. But that's just a possibility I wouldn't put a...

    Question

    I look at it as the roles we have and how those roles and responsibilities are used to teach is about God. Biblically speaking there are roles and responsibilities for men in the bible. And God has identified Himself as a Him. In this way God is not only saying how we are to identify Him, but...

    Why the difference of forgiveness?

    Boaz, you said a lot in your last reply. But I'd like you to clarify the part tgat I'm waiting. When you say forgiving some one does not remove their offense against us, do you mean tgat they still need to pay for damages if they broke something, or need to go to jail if they broke a law...

    Question

    We've talked about Gnosticism in the past, to explain what it is. But those were explainations of it. Not arguments for it, or agreement with it. In at least that point it's at least allowable to talk about that much. (Unlike OSAS vs OSNAS topics which ba came banded because of the heated...

    [__ Science __ ] How Big is the Universe?

    I like my dad's way of putting it. The universe is infinite (limitless) in the physical sence, but it's still finite (has limitations) compared to the spiritual realm. Though I think my dad and I think differently on the concept of heaven, I think we both agree that God's spiritual realm is...

    Do you believe that God is working through you?

    Wait... I can raise my voice online? I must try this! Not for arguments sake though. Am I louder now? Am I louder now? HOW ABOUT NOW. Can you hear me now? I should stop though, before I say anything too colorful.

    Why the difference of forgiveness?

    To Who Me and wondering. So setting aside how often to forgive, and who to forgive. Let's talk about what forgiveness looks like. Because there's several things going on here that muddies up the basic action of forgiveness. I'll start with one example of what forgiveness doesn't look like...

    one who has the power to save the innocent.

    Hi thesaintman, it's been a long time since I've seen you around. I hope you're doing well. Yeah, Jesus is the one who saves us all. But when it comes toward being innocent or guilty, I think we all have the task of being there for eachother through our trials of life. Save those and be...

    Do you believe that God is working through you?

    One can only hope that God is working through us. But the thing is that God is sovereign over everything. He can use a believer or a nonbeliever. Bless a sinner with a ministry or a task, or bless someone who acts better and lives more for God. After all didn't God use the prophets in Israel...

    Life Is Like......

    Life can be like a rose. Beautiful and fragile, but still has it's thorns. Life can be like a game. Take it too seriously and it's no longer fun, but not serious enough and you lose in the competition. Life is like the love of a good wife, or the love of a child, or the love of a good pet...

    Best advice to someone interested in Christianity

    Two things. (Maybe three). One is to look for God. My thought is that if I could find God so can they. In that step I might recommend a few different approaches but prayer would be part of it no matter what. The second third would be to read the bible,mand I might recommend the bible...

    How important is humour in your life?

    If I ask a serious question, and you laugh, does that mean I'm seriously funny?
