“but I — I say to you, not to swear (making oaths) at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God, nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king, nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make white or black; but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil. ‘Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth; but I — I say to you, not to...

Yesterday before bed decided to character study on Noah. His great grand father was Enoch who walked with God, and the Enoch had Methuselah who was Noah’s grand father, and Methuselah had Lemach, who had Noah. Noah was a righteous man because of faith in God and He was given a divine task to build an Ark that would hold all the many animals in the land. (Some believe world wide flood or just simply that area flood - whatever you choose is up to you). With this in mind you have to... Read more ..read more

The Heidelberg Catechism of 1563 is a statement of faith that gives comprehensive instruction of Reformed doctrine and theology. Before we scoff and turn away at the mention of Reformed, let's make clear that the doctrine of predestination is only a very small part of that theology, and is a part that can be disagreed with, and yet retain the other doctrines. Reformed simply means it came out of the Reformation and is Protestant. Therefore it contains the same doctrinal truths that belong... Read more ..read more

For me, the sin of lust is enigmatic. Try not to visualize a monkey eating a hamburger. What is the first thing that you visualized? You couldn't help yourself. I have a similar issue when I see an extremely attractive female, only I'm not visualizing her eating a hamburger. I know that lusting is a sin and I try to control it by not doing a second take when I see a woman that is sexually appealing to me. I find it strange when I consider that I never lust to kill, to steal, to rob, to be... Read more ..read more

The statement was made on another thread that Christianity is a religion. I responded no, it isn't. It's really five or six quite different religions, fractured and fragmented within themselves and among themselves beyond any pretense of cohesiveness. The fact that they all mouth the name of Jesus tells us pretty much nothing. Paramahansa Yogananda, a Hindu yogi, spoke of Jesus as much and as convincingly as any Southern Baptist preacher. If there is a "Christianity," it comprises... Read more ..read more

I am sorry if this thread offends some people, but I believe it is extremely important to discuss it. Please be civil while doing so. For salvation, one must believe in Jesus Christ. If Jesus is God, which I intend to prove at some later date, then people who do not believe this are believing in the wrong Jesus. The Jesus that is merely a great God-appointed spiritual teacher. That is why this subject matters greatly ..read more

We are MADE right with God. We do not become right with God by law keeping and religion. "For as by one man's disobedience (Adam) many were MADE sinners, so by the obedience of one (Christ) shall many be MADE righteous" Romans 5:19. Jesus as our representative and substitute makes us right with God, because our humanity was constituted in him. Just as we were lost by a representative, so we will be saved by a representative. "Therefore, as by the offence of one (Adam) judgment... Read more ..read more

Hello you, This topic is a brief overview about Witchcraft, Satanism, of a book found at good-will. Though believe Satan was defeated by Jesus Christ. The remnants of Satan May still be left on the earth however; as human beings all make the choice to do good or bad. In our mind naturally you, me, whoever is tempted by our own desires. Darkness is still here and resides with-in us as human beings. Though the only light that can shine through the darkness is the Lord... Read more ..read more
