I'm saved because I believe (John 3:16).. I didn't decide to believe because I'm saved, because I'd believe even if I wasn't saved.

If God favorably answered the prayer of every Christian who was sick or dying, no one would ever die. Its better to pray for the strength to endure sickness, hardships, or death, than to expect God to deliver us from it. "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to...

I'd rather stand with people who screwed-up their interpretations worse than I did ;).. But really, what we have is a vast array of varying opinions about what means what. I suspect that God would just be thrilled that there are people digging into his Word and trying to understand it. Most...

People are fooled by nearly anything, especially when they're already looking for and hoping for miracles. Consider those fake evangelistic meetings where the lame get out of wheelchairs and walk. Deception and tricks are eagerly accepted by the gullible.. jmo

Its not complicated; "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me" (John 14:21).. His life was the perfect example of what he taught. "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (John 14:6). I'm surprised you didn't know this.

That's true, but I believe the physical creation lends credibility to a spiritual dimension. We know that from nothing, nothing comes. So, if there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence, then nothing would have ever come into existence. But things do exist. Therefore...

No, they don't believe in anything spiritual or divine, just what's physically obvious.. If they can't see, touch, or hear it, they don't believe it. But I agree, when someone rejects belief, they are constantly looking for answers.. The real question is; Why are we called by faith instead of...

You've described yourself as being Agnostic instead of an Atheist.. Atheism rejects the existence of any God/gods, while Agnosticism is in the "I don't know" camp. That's an honest answer that everyone shares, when push comes to shove, none of us know anything for certain. There is no tangible...

Absolutely... He is the Prince of this world and dominates, all a person needs to do is look around.. But make no mistake, while Satan is winning the battle for many souls, he won't win the war (Revelation 19; 11-16). The war was won on Calvary for every believer.

We have a brief outline of heaven; No pain, no suffering, no death, no strife, no corruption, etc.. Revelation 21 describes the New Jerusalem. And 'Yes', I'm guessing every Christian is counting on the promise.

I'd only say that anyone professing to be a Christian who doesn't believe that the sacrifice of Christ atoned for sin or claim that he didn't rise from the tomb, is No Christian at all.. That's like claiming to be a conservative but voting for Bernie Sanders. :)

Fundamentally, all Christians believe salvation comes through our belief in Christ (John 3:16). We all believe he died for our transgression, rose from the dead, and is coming back in judgement. So there's no disagreement on the basics, but just some different interpretations of the more minor...

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Timothy 3:16)

They have everything to do with each other because it was offered as part of the deal. Trump said, "Give me $5.7 billion in border wall money, and I’ll agree to protecting refugees and immigrants who came here as children" (January 21,2019).. "Democrats are dismissing a proposed amnesty deal...

I just bought a gun, and they did the normal background check, so I don't think the normal background checks were revoked. Auto makers can't really meet stricter emissions requirements.. The impossible requirements were just the liberals trying to force green energy (electric cars) I agree...

Wage growth, lowest unemployment rates, tax cuts, better trade agreements, less regulation, rebuilt defense, moved embassy to Jerusalem, appointed judges who don't favor late term abortion, etc... From an economic standpoint, I think Trump has done pretty good. So what specifically do you think...

Worst winter ever in NW Illinois... We set record snow fall in January and record cold -26, -29, & -33 degrees.. Those are records I'd just as soon not set! Just got five more inches, it just won't stop.. I'm flying to Florida on March 6th, can't wait to get the heck out of here.

To me, Christ didn't create or bring another religion, he brought salvation. Religions were already here, and they were wrong. We should follow the life, example, and teachings of Christ. Joining a man made denomination could confuse and pollute the simple truth and steer us astray; "I am the...

Everyone doubts, nothing is certain... That's the test of faith, we plow forward despite our reservations and doubt, that's why we are all called by faith. Knowing is not believing, being certain requires no trust. You can know God exist and not love him, but you can't love God without faith...

No modern day religion or belief follows anyone who claimed to be God in the flesh, except Christians.. So Christ isn't compatible with Buddha.. Philosophy isn't salvation.. Consider that the tombs of Buddha, Confucius, Muhammad, etc, are all occupied, but the tomb of Christ is empty.. That...
