    Is the Bible polytheistic? - Are there many gods, or only one?

    Perception is reality.... It's a philosophy that the Scriptures addresses. And why God's name is "I AM/Will Be/Have Been" However, either you(who is error prone and sinful) can create your afterlife, or God, who is loving and perfect, can do it. You choose. Whose is going to be better?

    Is it prideful or arrogant to claim to be "born again"?

    No.... 1Peter is the book that refers to this. Not John 3. And it's a reference to the new family if friends you gain by becoming a Christian. Caste based society vx a Roman and post-modern Westernized ideals based society. We don't have many Caste based societies anymore. (John 3 is...

    Five reasons why you aren't a "true" Christian - Are you toast?

    I'm toast because I binge. I don't study an hour every day.... But I get roughly 16-20 hrs a week. I don't get to witness often anymore because I'm retarded....er I mean retired. So I don't have access to people like I used to. I miss a few services our church offers....but I am there...

    Five reasons why you aren't a "true" Christian - Are you toast?

    A man made test.....it cannot compete with Jesus's test. Because the Pharisees passed all man-made tests of faithfulness to God with flying colors. However....Jesus says " Away from me you doers of iniquity, I never knew you" And most certainly the Pharisees had a track record of following...

    What Is the Significance of the Seven Churches in Revelation?

    Blessed are the holy of heart for they shall see God. There are none so blind as they who refuse to see. (Sir Arthur Cannon Doyle) "I played a harp and you refused to dance, I played a flute and you refused to cry."

    Christian Christmas

    There are those who groan about Christmas and all the extra expense and secularism surrounding the holiday.... But a dirty little secret is that it's not about them. It's for those of us who can use it as license to give without a thin film of an excuse .... because we have Christmas to use...

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    I know for a fact that you know lots of scriptures. However, the scriptures themselves cannot grant you salvation from your sins. That's Jesus's job solely and completely. Do you disagree?

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    One other tidbit is in John's Gospel 1:14 . Many people would like to have a conversation with Jesus and meet him personally to help know him on a personal level. But this verse "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" tells us that if we want to know Jesus we need to know scriptures.

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Now that would be a good question for Paul (2Tim 3:16) and the Writer of Hebrews and Moses. King David, when writing yet another Psalm, said that the Torah was like : silver refined 7 times, morning dew, perfect and etc. Joshua told the Israelites, " Do not let this Torah depart from your...

    Finally decorated for Christmas...how about you?

    I've been decorating and baking up a storm. When I lived in an apartment I still cranked out 1,000 cookies every year plus gingerbread houses. Now I have a house....so we set up the toy electric train around the tree and I do over a 1,000 chocolate truffles too. All given away for Christmas.

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Two things are said to be "God breathed". One is mankind and the other are the scriptures. Both are "living and active". I'm sorry but I cannot agree with you on this subject.

    CRYPTOCURRENCY AND THE LORD

    I don't see this happening. It's linked to the dollar. But look at a 5 yr chart on Bitcoin. It's more than enough to make me want to short it.

    Fellowship With Transgenders

    What also have trouble understanding is Alcohol and Tobacco products advertising. We do not allow these things near children because of their young age and being tempted to use them by the advertising.... So it's somehow acceptable to advertise sexual perversion to children but not Tobacco...
