    How to be shut out of the kingdom of heaven/God

    Don't confine God as scripture. God is bigger than scripture. Besides the point, God does want us to trust Him even if we don't understand it. For example, I can obey Jesus' command to Forsake all that I own in order to be a disciple of His (Luke 14:33), and start to worry about doing this...

    How to be shut out of the kingdom of heaven/God

    Sure. I can accept that part of helping the poor are to help those spiritually by spreading the gospel. This doesn't mean we shouldn't help those we can monetary either. We should seek to do both, not one to the exclusion of the other. In peace

    How to be shut out of the kingdom of heaven/God

    Commands. Maybe the beattitudes can be considered an attribute, but they are still something we must strive to be by following Jesus.

    What is a Christian?

    Jesus has the authority. If we line up all of our beliefs and doctrines on Jesus, then only those that don't believe in Jesus will have a problem with His words. Mark 8:38, "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall...

    What is a Christian?

    Your response is very vague in the sense that someone would need to have the background to the terminology that you are using to understand what you are saying. Can you try giving a simple, clear answer? Thanks. In peace

    How to be shut out of the kingdom of heaven/God

    Those people are unaware because they did these good works to the poor. I would be confused too if Jesus told me that I helped HIM. I did, but it was through helping the poor. These are acts that we choose to do, while being led by the Holy spirit. However, some quench the spirit and not allow...

    Matthew 5,6, and 7 are a good place to start. In peace

    What is a Christian?

    There are many denominations who all believe in the same person... Jesus. This shouldn't be so! Let us try and come together to find a united approach on what a Christian means, so we can try and put together the body of Christ. The first century Christians are a good example of what...

    Make The Time To Be Still

    Really enjoyed reading this. Definitely need to slow down my day. In fact, let me move away from this screen and slow down right now! Gotta jet!

    What Jesus said about the religious

    Has anyone else noticed what these scriptures says? It says for us not to call no man on Earth 'Father'? Does that mean I am not suppose to call my physical male parent 'Father'? Am I sinning if I do? What about teacher? I use to call my school teachers 'teachers' all the time. Am I disobeying...

    How to be shut out of the kingdom of heaven/God

    Just a thought to consider: A child will trust whatever their parents told them to do. They wouldn't doubt; only trust. This is the same faith that we need to have with our Heavenly Father (i.e., we will trust His commands no matter how difficult it seems). This is what childlike faith is all...

    MATTHEW 3:2 KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

    Matthew 21:43, "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof." Those that produce the 'fruits thereof' are given the Kingdom of God. In peace

    Let me ask the question again. Where does Jesus say that the gospel is that He died for us, was buried, then rose again. In peace

    Mark of the Beast - the Chip

    Seems like their is one major importance of the function of the mark that is not being talked about... "You will not be able to buy or sell unless you take this mark". Now the question is: If we can't buy or sell, then how will we survive without the mark when it is implemented? No buying...

    Follow The Lamb

    Revelation 14:3-4, "And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth...These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth...

    But if we are the body

    Fair question. I think we should all question whether or not we are reaching out to those that Jesus would have reached out to. If not, then what are we doing? To answer your question, however, would mean disobeying Jesus' command of doing our alms in secret (Matt 6:1-5). In peace

    But if we are the body

    Our faith in Jesus needs to go deeper than attending a church building... In peace

    God says in His Word what He means and means what He says!

    Why do people tend to interpret scripture to make their doctrines; instead of reading scripture to make their doctrines?

    What Spirit did God pour out on all flesh?

    Jesus told His disciples to wait in Jerusalem until the promise spirit comes to them. He was reminding them of what He told them right before He died. In John 14:26 we read, " But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and...
