So why dont all accept? The million dollar question with eternal consequences. We read in Psalm 14:1-3, "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." I suppose what the fool is really saying is that he does not want God. ...wow!!! Our Lord speaks to all people.

That's not in line with numero uno. Sounds more like numero dos. Well, kinda seems to me that He died for all..., but not all will accept. If one who was not otherwise going to accept..., does, then he's included under the all? :tonofbricks: Numero uno.

Numero uno. He died for all who will....

I am asking about the idea of NT giving being a fulfillment of OT tithing in that giving cannot be done without the Holy Spirit being involved. ...zing! Right over many heads. Ten percent tithing is what is taught in the Bible Colleges. Nothing wrong with giving 10% nor is there anything...

saturneptune, when it comes to your comment about the "saw" I couldn't help but chuckle. :laugh: When someone plays the saw it absolutely drives me up a wall for some reason. It puts me in mind of eerie back-ground music in a horror movie. :thumbs: What's always been interesting to me...

The dictionary definition of "religion" used to reflect that it was the following of the tenants of an organized institution. But really, someone can be "religious" over a rebuilt 1957 Chevy Belair Convertible. Over the years the definition has been changed to include everyone and every...

The term "religion" has been altered much over the years. It does not mean today as it did a century ago. Religion is man made and man driven. Christianity on the other hand is following the teachings of Christ and accepting Himself as your Savior. The trend of today is however that...

I wouldn't say I've been struggling for 25 year, maybe the last 5-7 but I get your point Several years ago my son and I were talking about this certain church and he matter-of-fact told me that he "didn't get anything from that preacher". My response was, "We shouldn't go to church to...

This something I'm deeply sruggling with now. Been struggling with this for years now. I'm REALLY torn . I fear the deacon( es) issue is the last straw though. I've been there for 25 years now. I have 3 boys and a wife to consider. It's the only church my boys have even known. The people there...

Sure I understand the Pastor is privy to information about people that is none of my business, but this method is open to abuse . All the elders , Deacons at my church "tow the party line" or they wouldn't be there. The Pastor surrounds himself with people that agree with everything he does . If...

Brads70, if any preacher walks on my toes during a service then I need to examine myself. Obviously, it's not the preacher but the Lord convicting me. However, if any preacher places any kind of a burden or condition that comes with undue "works" then it's wrong. People walking around...

Way to many mama called preachers out there. Way to many churches bogged down with tradition. Way to many preachers willing to preach guilt trips to keep folks in line. To many sheeple. A new day began when the Lord finally explained to me that it should not be a burden to be a Christian...

Harris79, we do live in frightening times but in our faith there's nothing to worry about. I frequent a (worldly) forum board quite often. It has it's share of atheist and die hard liberals and while there are a few alleged Christians present, it appears that I'm the most outspoken. The...

From the tape, "...the measure of our Christian life will be in the faith." :thumbsup: Being a Christian should not be a burden.

FAL, the OP said, "My dad and I have an amazing relationship!" ...and here you come with, "That means I do not agree with him in regards to this message as it removes any responsibility from man." Quite clearly, the OP admires his Dad and chose to share that admiration. What part of this...

The lost are judged already. Otherwise, there is no burden to being a Christian/Believer.

rd2, my wife and I raised a son and two daughters. We then raised three grand daughters and a grand son. All of the grand kids are now well into their teens. Our three are fully grown adults. It's very scary to even consider that if any of those kids were to accuse me of something, as was...

Someone please explain why this piece of cloth is even relevant? What would be the purpose of it just recently being discovered? Planted by our Lord for a future find? It seems to me that we would first need to consider what Jesus actually looked like. He was a Jew. I really doubt he...

I contacted them perhaps as far back as early as 2000, late 1990's. I don't remember. Specifically though I used to subscribe to their publication but allowed it to expire. I had a hard time reading sermon's. No fault of their's but rather, a defect in me I suppose.

Just looked at a Sword of the Lord and over half the articles are written by someone with no title in front of their name. The most I saw was someone's name prefixed by Dr. In 2 or 3 cases, it was simply a name followed by "Pastor of XXXX Church". Is it possible that perhaps what I communicated...
