I suppose this thread is aimed more at Calvinists and their doctrine of total depravity, which inferrs that the inception of faith in Christ is solely the work of the Holy Spirit convincing one of the truth about Christ. John 7:37-39 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood...

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (KJB) Now, I believe this passage is telling us...

When sharing the faith every so often as we are called to do it can't be uncommon to encounter the phrase "I'm not a Christian because all Christians are hypocrites" or something similar. How do you refocus the conversation away from negativity and back on promoting the gospel in a positive...

Did this person commit the unpardonable sin?

I was reading through Galatians 3 and it says: Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? So here's the thing... I believe I am born again and am indwelt with the Holy Spirit which compels me to try to mortify the deeds of...

I think this is a topic that needs to be discussed in all churches. Pastors need to be informed and they should be informing their congregations about this development in the world. People are getting a chip in their hands that allows them to pay for things and navigate the world. I'm not going...

1 Corinthians 2:15 But he who is spiritual judges all things... Then Paul says 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes... What is Paul talking about and why does this sound like a contradiction?

I've noticed that younger generations have far less engagement with the churches I've attended recently. I look around and see the pews packed with older folks, but youth seem to be a rare sight. Is this a sign of the times? In a few more decades, churches are foreseeably set to lose a sizable...

Revelation 21:1-5 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great...

Quick review of Revelation 17 (kjv) First off, let me start by saying I am in no way an expert on Revelation. My studying of the bible has always been personal (just me and God) and I've never studied it in an educational setting before (though I aspire to one day). For what it's worth, this is...

Do you believe that aliens from another solar system/galaxy exist and have come to earth? [I used to, but no longer do] Does the bible mention aliens? If so, where? [I don't believe so] If aliens exist, are they actually demons/fallen angels? [I do believe so] Will there be an end-times...

How do we who are born again interact with the Kingdom of God now and what does it mean to truly see it? To myself, I interpret this experientially as well as symbolically. I think of the interactions of the members of Christ's body working in unison to nourish and strengthen one another in...

Hey all! I was just reading 2 Corinthians and these passages stuck out— 18] All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19] that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's tresspasses against them...
