Bible Contradictions

"And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, HEARING A VOICE, but seeing no man" Acts 9:7 "And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid, but they HEARD NOT THE VOICE OF HIM THAT SPAKE TO ME." Acts 22:9 In 9:7 they heard "A" voice, but it does not say whos voice they heard or thought they heard, or even if they heard words as opposed to other vocal sounds. And 22:9 is specific, the voice of HIM that spoke to me (Christ). Whatever they heard, it seems to simply mean that they did not recognize Christ, indicated by the voice of HIM THAT SPOKE to me

Baptisted For Heaven
	"For those who believe you can not cause somebody to do something,read your bible." For one thing, it is possible for someone to introduce a thought/idea that had not been previously considered. However, what one does with that thought, is that ones responsibility as all must give an account.

Bible To Your Faith

Joh_6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Joh_6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. TheSeg on 4/13/13 "'So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth, . It shall not return to Me void, . But it shall accomplish what I please, . And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.'" Is 55:11 ---willie_c: on 4/13/13 been thinking of these. And Jesus is the Word. Jn 6:58 "This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever"

No Work For Four Years
	This is difficult, encouragement is often needed. Perhaps he can volunteer somewhere where real help is needed, such as a soup kitchen. You never know what may come of circumstances

Is God Always The Same

Yes, God is the same, yesterday today and forever. Ps 102:27, Heb1:12, James 1:17, Mal 3:6, Ps 90:2 However, He is beyond mans finding out, and who can fathom, there is the mystery of godliness. rom 11:33, 1 Tim 3:16, Job 36:26 How one sees or perceives (who) God (is) may change. Previous perception may have been off,.but even if correct, that perception develops as God is pleased to reveal Himself. What one understands at any given time is from that ones perspective as the Lord wills.

Hurt By A Church
	"OF COURSE. Haven't all? I think all people get hurt by the church and by other christians. ---bike on 2/24/13" Agree, but not only that, "i" have hurt the church and members also.

Did Paul Preach To Gentiles

"God revealed the "Mystery" to him?" rom 16:25-27,Eph 3:3-5 Now TO HIM THAT IS OF POWER to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY,kept secret since the world began,But NOW IS MADE MANIFEST, and BY THE SCRIPTURES OF THE PROPHETS, ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT OF THE EVERLASTING GOD, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith >>that BY REVELATION HE MADE KNOWN UNTO ME THE MYSTERY, (as I wrote afore in few words,Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, AS IT IS NOW REVEALED UNTO HIS HOLY APOSTLES AND PROPHETS BY THE SPIRIT

Worldly Church Denominations

"How much longer will you believe your worldly denominational churches are the same church as Christ's?" No WORLDLY denominational OR nondenominational church is Christs. His "church" is spiritual, the BOC. As for why do churches cater to culture, simply to draw people in and to profit, which is a deception. As for doing such ""wonderful things"", just as individually, our righteousness is as filthy rags, so it is with these. Concerning people getting saved, many have plenty of altar calls, and many respond, but are they responding to the gospel OF JESUS CHRIST, is the gospel even preached. Or are these churches presenting a different gospel?

How To Follow Jesus
	Correction to previous post: "shira4368 on1/4/13 good post." I was referring specifically to the verses quoted. However, not wishing to judge anyone, none of us could ever do enough works to get to heaven, in fact can do no work(s) to get to heaven.. not to mix

How To Follow Jesus

shira4368 on1/4/13 good post. Believe in the one God sent Jn 6 What must we do to do the works God requires? Jesus answered, The WORK OF GOD is this: to believe in the one He has sent. this is THE WILL OF HIM WHO SENT me, that I SHALL LOSE NONE of all those He has given me, but RAISE THEM UP AT THE LAST DAY. my FATHERS WILL is that everyone who looks to the son and BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL have eternal life Just as the living Father sent me and I LIVE BECAUSE OF THE FATHER, so the one who feeds on me WILL LIVE BECAUSE OF ME. This is the bread that came down from heaven whoever feeds on this bread WILL live forever. THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE, THE FLESH COUNTS FOR NOTHING. The WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOUare SPIRIT AND LIFE

Happy New Year! What's Up?

---Trish on 1/1/13. "I am a little discouraged by my current living situation." I understand. Im sure many here have also been discouraged by their living situations. I have, yet the Lord is faithful, and good, and has all things in control. He is able to see you through. Thank God, despite the difficulties, He has provided some to take care of needs you have. Many times things do not seem ideal to us, and while we may desire what we assume might be ideal, He knows best and can always be trusted. God bless you Trish.

What Is Life

"according to scripture, there was one on the left and one on the right, but it does not tell us which one was the reviler. from what i can tell." Same here. Mt 27:38 "Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left" Also Mark 15:27 , Lk 23:39-43 When I read Shiras post I did not check which one was on right or left, what came to mind is (God) works salvation with (His) righteous right arm. I havent found those exact words in that order, but the thought of His right arm and salvation had been in mind prior to coming across the post.

What Is Life

" the man on the right ---shira4368 on 12/27/12 That IS interesting. Note the many references in scripture concerning Gods right hand or right arm. Just a few: Ps 44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them Ps 89:13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. Ps 98:1 he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. Is 62:8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength

Christians Want To Be Rich

Rich, as in having more than enough means, does not necessarily have to apply to the natural or monetary. "EVERY man is right is his own eyes", and therefore has thought he is capable or enough, more than sufficient, or "rich". "For all have sinned" "A way seems right to a man but the way thereof is death." BUT "my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD." The Lord alone is sufficient, and Jesus is "the way the Truth and the Life." NO MAN comes to the Father BUT BY HIM. Indeed impossible for man and only possible with, for, by Him,

What Is Life
	Explain life in 100 words. "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." Jn 17:3

Where Are The Christians
	---cher01 on 12/17/12 You seem to be new here. Welcome. I understand what you are saying. If you spend more time here you may find that there are some that love the Truth, and do not engage in some of the behaviors that others find distressing. Many will gladly discuss scripture and do so in love. Be blessed

	Elena: "Thankyou Char & Chira 9396 Always a pleasure!" Yes, it is always a pleasure, and kindness appreciated. Be blessed

Wife Had Another Man's Baby
	Should I forgive? Yes. And that forgiveness has nothing to do with whether or not it is known by others. Even if you were the only one to know, the answer is the same.
