    There is NO proof text in scripture.

    Prove what? That Jesus sent the Holy Spirit as a helper? The gifts of the Holy Spirit? That our Spirit is dead without Christ?

    All you need to do is read the New Testament.

    99.9999% of all professing Christian's aren't saved

    It's not difficult to calculate population growth and given that people lived much much longer lives before the flood the number could be even higher. Most experts calculate the number between 750 million to 4 billion. Remember your looking at almost 2000 years. 1 billion is a conservative...

    99.9999% of all professing Christian's aren't saved

    First, I know it's not the same thing I'm just pointing out if you and I were hanging out in 1999 BC eating a rabbit on a stick and speculating on how many God was going to save from the flood we both most likely would have guessed a higher number.

    99.9999% of all professing Christian's aren't saved

    Pew Research says there are estimated to be 2.3 billion Christians on the earth out of 8 billion or near-total population. I would guess that out of those who claim to be Christians only make that claim because their mother told them they were, nothing but a check the box on a form because they...

    99.9999% of all professing Christian's aren't saved

    I hate to be a downer but we must be reminded that God only saved 8 people from the flood. It is estimated that the population on earth could have been as high as 1 billion at the time of the flood almost 2000 years after Adam.

    Mungo, Mungo, Mungo. Until you understand the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a born-again believer your going to struggle with this. Until you are born again your spirit is dead. Jesus said he would send a helper and he did. He helps us understand his word. Does everyone have a strong...

    The Trinity

    I believe that understanding the Trinity, future prophecy, old earth, new earth, Gap or no Gap and a bunch of other things we debate is not critical for salvation. Love, Faith, and Obedience is the important message of our time. It's fun to debate our understandings of scripture but not to the...

    The Trinity

    It's too simple. It's more gratifying for some to hold a more spiritual explanation for certain verses. An exegesis that the common Saint cannot understand without their enlightenment. We all know there are parables and prophecies and some scripture is not meant to be taken literally but the...

    The Trinity

    The plain reading of the scriptures is just too challenging for some. In righteous pursuit, they desire to spiritualize any scripture that gives even the slightest opportunity to do so. When the plain reading makes plain sense, leave it alone.

    The Trinity

    Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

    The Trinity

    Angels were not made in God's image. Please.

    Should Christians Always Be Healed?

    Some just cannot help themselves, they have this need to spiritualize any scripture that gives them a crack to do so.

    Should Christians Always Be Healed?

    Many believe otherwise. No scripture proves that it was not or hints that it was not physical.

    Why was there a reformation?

    As for me , ITS JESUS and the BIBLE . Me too. Something I struggle with is while witnessing to a neighbor friend who at the end of our conversation asks me about what was a good Church to attend, I paused. I don't know. Of course, there are good Churches out there but I've moved around a lot...

    The Trinity

    Man was made with a Body, Soul, and Spirit. (likeness) Man is one being, one person. God is one being, 3 persons. Don't let your intellectual deficiencies trip you up regarding the Trinity. The Bible tells us therefore it's true. I do believe Heaven will be full of people who didn't fully...

    The Trinity

    Genesis 1:26 Then God said, ``Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." I do not understand why some...

    WE NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN.

    It's also more likely than not that James knew the Brethern he was addressing fairly well.
