#1 How Jesus provided for Himself and twelve others is what I am trying to understand. #2 Everyone under the Old Covenant was not obedient, therefore everyone could not receive or experience the blessings. But there is no doubt that Jesus was among the obedient, who qualified for the blessings...

#1 Jesus may not have been wealthy, but He certainly wasn’t poor, given the fact that He run a traveling ministry with 12 assistants, which required a considerable amount of resources. #2 The blessings of the law was fulfilled, when Jesus was grown up and started His ministry, which means the...

If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands that I give you today, the Lord your God, will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you, if you obey the Lord your God. You will be blessed in the city and blessed...

Jesus is sometimes portrayed as a destitute wanderer or even a homeless person, who had nothing and no place to call home? He is usually associated with poverty and suffering, than with the opposite? But do the scriptures support this popular depiction? The book of the genealogy of Jesus...

Christians that can read, have no one to blame, but themselves if they are led astray. Every Christian is supposed to double-check, the scriptures for themselves and not just listen to whatever the preacher says. And if you feel uncomfortable with any message or teaching, you have the option of...

Matthew 7:22 is not referring to people who receive salvation or are born again, because salvation can not be undone or canceled. Once you acknowledge and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, there is no expiration date. Salvation or being born again is knowing Jesus and Jesus knowing...

Let us stay focused on the theme of this thread and avoid introducing our personal preferences, there distorting the original thread. And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature - Welcome to the imperfect world, with it’s imperfect people! And I...

As long as you identify as a born again Christian, who has accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are ok.

Welcome aboard, and look forward to seeing you in the forums!

I agree with you, that small congregations, would be ideal, but we cannot dial back the clock. The human population is exploding and everything is trying to keep up with that trend, that’s why many things are now super-size or mega, like mega-stores, mega-apartment complexes, mega-stadiums...

Jesus commanded His disciples or followers, past, present and future, to preach the gospel and not social or political issues. When a church or preacher focuses on social or political issues, that is not the great commission and it becomes had to attract new members and in some cases membership...

Thanks for bringing up Acts. I could have added that to my list of references scriptures.

The link you are referring to is not a mega-church, that is a personal blog, for people on the go, who may not have enough time to read or search the scriptures. It is like a drive-through bible. The blog which is still under development, will have lists of scriptures by topic. For instance, the...
