This is not true. Jesus even referenced the Scriptures. I don't know where you are getting your information from, but it is in error. Edit: Maybe I'm misunderstanding you here. The Old Testament Scriptures definitely pre-dated the Church. The Church did not write the books that we now know as...

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16 I'm sorry you feel this way but, you are in error. If you...

Reading through your questions, I'm inclined to just suggest that you stop digging into what you have already admitted yourself to be garbage. Jesus warned of this when He said to beware of leaven of false teachings for even a little leaven will leaven the whole lump. In other words, don't give...

Something to clarify. The Holy Spirit is not an "it." He is one of the Trinity and is God. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it...

Yes, placing the alarm clock so that you have to get out of bed to shut it off can be extremely helpful.

When I was younger and had moved out of my parents' home I got into a trap of sleeping in every day. My job was a 21-day shift rotation - 7 afternoon shifts followed by 7 days followed by 7 midnights. When I was working the afternoon shift I worked from 3:00pm to 11:00pm. I'd get home from work...

This is true. Pastors are not gods.

I believe much of it, if not all of it, comes down to repentance. We are not disgusted because we have not repented. There was a time in my young life when I got quite comfortable with stealing. My form of stealing has been given a softer descriptive word, shoplifting, but it is stealing...

I personally don't give much credence to a non-Catholic's explanation of Catholicism any more than I do for a Catholic to give explanation for a Protestant point of view. In either case, their explanations are likely skewed in one way or another. If you want to understand the Catholic position...

Agreed. The Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV Here, Peter was addressing women but I...

I use a few including KJV, NIV, ESV, and NKJV. My favorite is the NKJV. Not using other translations does not mean I do not trust them. I do not read or understand the ancient languages so I am not in a position to judge the validity of any translation. Translations rarely, if ever, work word...

I had a 1967 Ford F100 with a 240 straight 6. At about 86,000 miles it became necessary to rebuild the engine and I decided to do it myself. One morning, my wife and I had just poured ourselves a cup of coffee when I said that I would need her help with pulling the engine out of the truck. We...

Yes. Didn't look quite that nice though.

Apparently not in the 1960's. The '66 Impala was 9 years old and putting something in the trunk was risky. The '66 Galaxy too was much the same. My next vehicle was a '67 Ford Fairlane that I bought in '78 so it was 11 years old and not only the trunk was rusted out, but I soon discovered that...

My first car wasn't actually mine. I turned 16 in February 1975, but at the time my parents were unable to provide me with a car and I couldn't afford to buy one myself. For this reason, I used my bicycle to make the 8-mile trip back and forth to work. As we neared the fall, my parents decided...

Made from scratch buttermilk are my favorite. Sometimes I'll use yogurt in place of the buttermilk. Yogurts flavored with fruit add a nice touch too. Another favorite of mine is sourdough pancakes. My sourdough is about 15 years old now, so it has a pretty good tangy flavor. The day before I...

I don't think it is possible to understand God's grace and mercy until we understand our own sinfulness. This reminds me of Isaiah 6:1-7 NKJV In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood...

I do not know what Roma means so in that regard, I'm probably not the best to help out. The only thing I can say is that truth is very important when it comes to relationships. I am speaking a little from experience. My first wife had issues with telling the truth about a few things and it never...

I see these commands as the benchmark that we are to hit to save ourselves. However, it is without a doubt we will never achieve it, and it is for this reason that Jesus came in the flesh to fulfill the law that we are incapable of doing and why we so desperately need a Savior. This does not...

I wonder...is there anyone on earth that truly abides in Christ 100%, 24/7/365.
