Is it God's perfect will that Christians become tale barriers, busybodies ? No. Does some Christians become tale barriers and busybodies ? Yes. But what does the scripture say, 1 Pet 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's...

The only time I have a taste for water is when I am really thirsty. I do drink a lot of milk, tea, and juices. Some people set down to a meal and never touch there drink till they have completely eaten their meal. I probably drink three glasses of milk at breakfast and the same liquids at other...

I think the greatest struggle of any Christian that knows the gospel is themselves.

Google double predestination and you can find it.

2. God's Word Does Not Use This Confusing Phrase, Because It Is Unnecessary Even if this were in some way intellectually accurate (which I don not believe that it is), why would a conscientious Christian truly concerned for the Church, insist on using such a term which #1) wasn't used in...
