Well, we may have our small differences of opinion on that. I believe love is what you do rather than what you say. And based on that here, I can fully recognize when the evil one has been let in the...

As far as I'm concerned the original question has been answered. The Bible is our final authority on all matters.
You can study for yourself. In reference to "turning the other cheek"- many...

You are one hateful, miserable dude. If you don't like the religion, change the channel.
Religious freedom. You too Skull. Totally prejudiced because we aren't like you

1) And I see it as one taking on four! And what a fine bunch of gentlemen you are.
2) We choose to have hope & everyone has their reasons. She wouldn't have asked the question if she didn't want...

I've read the original question & I gave a mature Christian's answer. You don't mingle well in the Christian category because the truth hurts. But instead of letting the Bible condemn you, there is...

Only in the natural. My spirit rules though & tells me it's SIN
So now what will you do? Go to the (other) religion category-or stick around to fight with Christians? Is that what your faith says to...

stefani1,
in Hosea-he prophesied during the last days of Israel, focusing on her sin of spiritual adultery(that is, idolatry)God warns them to repent of their unfaithfulness & return to him.

I don't think we can know that much about God in this lifetime. His thoughts are so much higher than ours.
But this is a question I think I'm going to ask Him when I behold Him in Heaven!

ECCLESIASTES-
The teacher, a king in Jerusalem, searches in this book for a purpose to his life. After various pursuits, frustrated by not finding satisfactory answers, he discovers that happiness...

Ah, but not having been raised in the Church, my mind was a wide open book. I have already considered "your" theory of nothingness after we die. Now, with Christ, I am a new person & my mind has been...

I can see where you were jaded towards "religion" because religion in your example of the protesters was from the very extreme right. I don't agree with fanaticism. They should take their protests to...

The consensus from the Christian leaders & theologians on this is that- Everyone is born with a God consciousness. If a person is in an inaccessible area or remote area that ministers of the Gospel...

Erin, I'm sorry, but your statements are contradictory.
There is a general mercy that goes on for all people in this life. However, God sent His only Son to die for the sins of all mankind- BUT YOU...

From what I know(based on the Bible & experience) The dead in Christ, their spirits are in Heaven (also the O.T) righteous. Their spirit is who they really are.
The unsaved dead, when they die, go...

AJ,
I found a website which is such a blessing to all. I'll paste the link of one page, but you can type in Revelation 11:15-19 on upper right side of the page to get a description of the 7th...

As long as it is illegal it is a sin. According to the Bible we are supposed to obey the law of the land & authorities.
Having said that, if one uses marijuana for medical reasons-where they get an...

Hmm. Doesn't sound like you even read Rev. because you mention everything but.
Hmm... I think even the average post-tribber knows more!
Post-trib fallacy: Some claim that when Paul wrote to the...

AJ,
I disagree. Paul said last trumpet. He didn't say 7th. That's biblical.

It wasn't a girl who came up with the rapture view. It was a prophetess from a Catholic Apostolic Church in 1830 Scotland.
I'm not commenting on what you wrote about the millennium(except that you...

Yes, my dear. But Shinto does not believe in the God of the Bible, which the questioner does.
One doesn't have to experience what another religion does to understand it or them.
God wants our...

Metallic,
The only Christians that go through the great tribulation are the ones that convert at that time, when the Tribulation saints- The Two witnesses,144,000+Jews, & all that receive Revelation...

Tessy,
I still consider AJ a brother though. Ordinary Guy is a self-confessed apostate. So, I would take it with a grain of salt. They stand like the left behind people pointing fingers, trying to...

So, are you saying someone with interpretation of tongues can interpret someone else's language? That is , he is not limited to his own?

I speak one little sentence in tongues! Over & over it is part of my prayer life. However, my Pastor had the gift plus interpretation of tongues (which would be his own of course)
So, imo, the...

I am not addressing infant baptism. I know some denominations go through sacraments.
I am addressing the" older" person's baptism.

The 10 Commandments still stand form the Old Testament. The 4th Commandment doesn't require the weekly rest & worship day to be Saturday though.
That moral law was more for the Jews.

I've heard the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is denying the H.S. In other words, denying or rejecting Jesus. When Jesus spoke to the Pharisees, He used blasphemy is a two-fold way.
They attributed...

The Rapture & the Second coming are 2 separate events. The Second coming is when Jesus comes as the Lion of Judah. The rapture only believers will be hearing the trumpet call. Even people who have...

AJ-
I do disagree with your interpretation of Rev. 16:2 & 16:4. You took the verses out of context.
Yes, these people broke out with sores by the first angel's bowl of wrath(not the 3rd)
The 3rd...

AJ,
John wasn't just given a vision of heaven in Rev 4. He was in heaven. Rev4-After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I first heard speaking to me...

poppa0777,

Yes that's true. In fact Rev.20 describes those people that make it through(and ultimately have converted)
I was chiding the post made by AJ.
However, I admit, looking at the text the...

AJ-
You are welcome to go through the Trib. & get the mark of the beast. But I have better news.
2Thess.2:7- For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work: but the one who holds back will...

I have to be honest with you that I haven't even considered the 1,000 yrs until I read Revelation seriously a few months ago.
I noticed no one on this site offered any supportive opinion on the...

How creepy is that! I have to erase the vision I just saw from my eyes! Where do they live?(country?)

Oh,
Looking at that turbo thing is hazardous to my mental health. I could spend 24/7 on a regular go-cart. Imagine turbo! How much fun is that! It's like I completely forget my age. :D

That makes me yearn for a vacation!
Very nice photography.
Can't say much about the bloody fish though but I guess someone's got to catch them. There's probably too many of them anyway.
We live...

" Yes, I believe one should be baptized in obedience to Jesus' command. However, we should also love our neighbor for the same reason. I know that we do not keep this entire command, because only God...

Looking at the text, that sounds right. We are at the wedding supper of the Lamb in the beginning of Rev.19(the 1st half) Then the Rider on the white horse in Rev. 19:11-21 is Christ coming to kill...

I'm back again to try to answer your question. It brought resolution for me to discover this website, because I think it reconciles the 1,000 yr. period with what I already believe.
I hope you like...

Jayb09,

I think you didn't read the link with my post. Who are you to judge now? About loving neighbors? It means doing them no harm.

This is my last post about faith is what's required for...

Wow,
I wasn't brought up in the church, but I found many different beliefs regarding Rev.20.

I'm spinning my wheels. This is what works for me regarding Rev20.

A more balanced perspective is...

That's O.K. Tessy 777,
I am not going to say I understand Rev. at this point (Rev.20)
Maybe if we keep this thread alive, there may be a convincing end to the story concerning the 1,000 yrs.
I...

Rev.20 has gotten my interest lately & I think I've looked at everything else in Rev. except this chapter. I think I breezed through it & accepted it as something happening to another group.
How...

Hank or current resident,

You ask 2 separate questions. What is the nature of the human soul and what is the ultimate destiny of the human soul?
The nature of the human soul is wicked. This is...

I agree to agree with Tessy777!

Belief in Christ (faith) saves you- not works!
Did Jesus Command Baptism in Order to be Saved?

It may be a command- like loving your neighbor- but not loving a...

I did not say that getting baptized wasn't important. I said you were mature for thinking it is.
I said it wasn't a requirement for salvation. This is important to me because my husband and 2...

Alter? Suit my own whim? I'll pretend I didn't read that lest I have to pretend you offered an apology.
While the day of rest, the Sabbath day, held significance to the people of Israel, the first...

AJ,
I will let someone who has the time explain this to you. This is "our" position. You are certainly entitled to your own beliefs. I see where there are differences concerning denominations &...

Matthew 3:11-12 - I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, who sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and...

jayb09,
The baptism of the Holy Spirit happens when you convert or accept Jesus.
It is good that one recognizes the command to be baptized. It shows maturity.
People who are born again, plain...
