    How much time elapsed?

    I believe it was at the same time.. But one thing I am always puzzled is, how do we measure time in this instance. We measure time by calculating the speed of light. But here we are not talking about stars or anything.. All we have is Heaven (everlasting) and formless earth. So what is the...

    Are Christians supposed to watch tv shows?

    This is the way I see it.. I think many have echoed same thoughts already.. Is it having any impact on your walk with Christ? We are supposed to transform into the image of Christ and not of the world.. Watching TV shows are a way to feed our flesh with entertainment.. That sounds like sin rite...

    Why didn't the serpent (devil) tempt Adam?

    Yes.. I think serpent would have tempted Adam also. If we look at Bible, Eve and serpent directly get into a conversation. I don't think Eve would have responded in that fashion to a total stranger. So probably there was a period of acquaintance. May be Adam was also tempted. He might have known...

    1 Peter 3:15...How Important Is this?

    For me it is extremely important.. Yes, we are talking about personal faith.. WHich is personal.. But how rooted are we in our faith? Remember, Peter is writing at a time of extreme persecution.. I didn't look up the verse.. If I am right, this verse was written in context with persecution.. It...

    Naturally dull

    I see talent and spiritual gifts to be 2 different things.. Spiritual gifts are manifestation of the Holy Spirit working in a person's life.. Talent is something that even a non-believer would have. It is the natural ability that God has given to humans.. Clearly, both are gifts from God. I...

    Naturally dull

    I believe people are both with different intelligent level. God does provide different talents and gifts for different people. So it's also not fair to measure different personalities on the same scale of judgment. Just my 2 cents! Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

    Who Does Palestine (Canaan) Belong To?

    Just like you said, it gives lot of history but not everything. That is the reason I am saying, we should not look at it like history book. The reason Bible has to give account of all those is to show how God chooses a nation to accomplish the purpose of redemption. Same goes with Ishmael. Why...

    Style of prayer - Commanding Lord on needs

    I think we are going to have quite a hard discussion! 1 John 5:14 - This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. I am not saying Lord has to make bad to do good. Lord cane get good out of evil. There are so many examples in...

    Who Does Palestine (Canaan) Belong To?

    I think the first reference to Canaan is in the account of Noah. He is one of the sons of Noah's sons, if I am right. But there is no clear indication of the tribe itself. Bottomline, we should never look at Bible as a history book! So we cannot explain every historical aspect with Bible

    Will God hate me?

    There has been some wonderful and powerful replies. The simple answer to your question is in John 3:16. I would just add one more point to what everyone else has said. We often make the mistake of thinking God to be of human nature. But God is beyond that. Grace of God is beyond our imagination...

    Style of prayer - Commanding Lord on needs

    I have seen many people/preachers praying with demands. More than demand, it is more like saying "Lord, You have to do it". I always pray by saying "Let Your will be done". I always felt that there is nothing I can command God to do. For example, someone might be diagnosed with a terminal...

    What brings us closer to God?

    Realizing the depraved state of myself and what a shameful person I am. And when I realize the need for God because I "simply can't", I feel being drawn by the Holy Spirit more to Him. Often I feel good myself and those are the times I feel distanced away.

    When The Holy Spirit Speaks To You...

    Personally, the Holy Spirit speaks with me more frequently through the Word of God. Sometimes the Lord would just plant a portion of scripture deep in my heart and I feel the need to medidate on the Word more. Then the Lord reveals something that would pertain to a situation which I would have...

    How are really saved from hell?

    I am posting something after a very long time! Nice to be back among some interesting discussions. There has been some good replies to this. This is what I believe! Faith in Christ as savior is all that takes for one to be saved. Works has nothing to with salvation. Works is definitely an...

    Can Missionaries Go To Hell?

    Calling and Commission are very different.. Some one might perform so many things in the field of missions, without being called!! Doing great commission does not mean calling is sure.. They are different.. So yes, missionaries can go to hell if they have not accepted Christ as their savior and...

    Grandmas faith saved her husband ??

    If grandpa accepted Jesus as his savior, he would be in heaven now. Otherwise, I don't think there is any other way. Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven.. Prayers from someone else is not going to take a person to heaven..

    Unless you become like little children...

    I don't think this verse talks about living a sinless holy life.. Which is generally attributed to little children.. The Bible itself clearly states that humans are incapable of living a 100% life on our own.. I think here the focus is more on being dependent on God completely.. Just like how a...

    Why we chose God

    So are we saying Abraham, Moses, Paul, etc had the choice to yield to Lord's call? John 15:16 - You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

    How is interracial marriages viewed in the eyes of God?

    Only thing Bible says is about marriage between believers and unbelievers. That should not be encouraged or desired.. It does not say anything about interracial marriages.. In the OT days, God did not allow Israelites to marry anyone outside of their nation/tribe. Because Israel was God's chosen...
