The authority given by the Lord commands and proclaims peace and life.
Go.
In terms, of evangelism, there are a few guidelines like “preach the Good News” (more like a commission).
But Jesus never told you that you had to be like Paul, or Peter, or John, or James, or Origen, or Billy Graham, or Moses, or Isaiah, or Mary, or C.S. Lewis, or anyone else…that is aside from Him. Jesus calls us to be like Him—in fact, that is our destiny. Yes, our...

Anonymous asked: If you believe that the Apostle Paul and the Prophet Isaiah were subject to error, and that said errors have crept into their teachings in Scripture, why do you exempt your revelation about the nature of God from the same scrutiny? Why do you use your revelation as the standard for judging their revelation? In terms of fruit, they've born a lot more than you have; shouldn't they be the...

I loved the; “My view of love has not changed to match my temptations. That’d be lying. I know what and WHO true love is.” Also the bit about telling the girl she was beautiful.

When you tell a non-believer that God is love and they ask you to explain…all you can do is stay speechless and show them the manifest presence of God.

loveismycommandment:
The more revelation you get on Who is in you, the more casual you are about releasing the King and His Kingdom to those around you. The only way to understand the reality that He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 Jn 4:44) is to place yourself in situations that put demands…
So good. :)

‘One of the Christians asked Khamara, “suppose somebody loses a gold ring. What is the value of that gold ring when it is lost?”

I think that inerrancy and infallibility are two different concepts. Inerrancy talks more about the Bible as the highest authority (not only, but highest). Infallibility would be more towards the idea that the Bible is absolutely without flaw.

Religion obligates and binds. Jesus frees and unifies.
It doesn’t matter what others think. All that matters is what God think and, let me tell you, He absolutely adores you.
dillondean replied to your post: You misunderstand Biblical innerrancy as Bible worship, when it’s an understanding that God has revealed Himself in the Scriptures and has kept that revelation pure and true, by His power. A God who couldn’t do as much wouldn’t be much of a God at all. You’ve yet to answer my question: How do we know that what you’re saying has been revealed to you by God and isn’t...
johnnyis asked: My question doesn't assume you know everything, it only relies on your previous statements about the nature of Scripture. You're making truth claims about God, and those must be substantiated to be taken seriously. You've yet to do any such thing. The position you seen to hold is self-refuting, and I'm trying to clarify that. As it seems that this discussion is futile, I wish...

johnnyis asked: I'm not the one claiming that the Prophets and Apostles were wrong, you are. Since you're making such a truth claim, I was wondering why I should trust you any more than I should trust them. Basically, why should I trust your statements about God and the Bible—namely that the Bible contains errors introduced by either Satan or human self-deception—when you are subject to both...

ivesssss replied to your post: The belief in the Rapture is less than 300 years old. It’s about time the Church left behind all this nonsense. Jesus is coming back as Judge, but not like what many are expecting.
Really? It isn’t going to happen? Read 1 Thes 4:16,17 .
Really? Read it in context. This is a comfort for those mourning. “caught up” Means what we understand it...
johnnyis asked: Could you please explain how the Apostles and Prophets (Peter, Paul, John, Isaiah, Joel, etc.) were all subjected to either human error or the "voice of Satan," and yet your interpretation of God is exempt from either of those?
Blind Faith?
Why is it that some atheists are better students of the Bible than many Christians?
We need some more critical thinking here. God is not afraid of questions. If you doubt something in the Bible, He’s not going to smite you. If you look at something intently with a desire and motivation to understand its semantics and apobetics, Zeus…I mean…God isn’t going to throw...

underablacklocust replied to your post: What do you mean the Rapture isn’t ever going to happen?
Be careful getting too much involved in one side or the other concerning “end times” theories. Neither the post- nor the pre- millennialists have “proofs” one way or the other. But one thing we do know for sure: Christ is coming back to judge.

The Mind Cannot Create Things It Has No Prior...

Heavenly colors,
The immensity of God,
The eternality of God,
The infiniteness of God,
Intricate details of the lives of strangers including pains, pasts, desires, longings and such,
and fluent speech in foreign languages.
Oh, and bones don’t just naturally reform instantaneously, muscles aren’t naturally recreated, and “genetic” and chronic diseases...

The Wrong Side of God?
You can’t be on the “wrong side” of God. You simply can’t. He doesn’t have one! He is perfectly, infinitely good. Oh, but “God’s ways aren’t our’s!”
Indeed they are not!

The Message of Grace
Honestly, I was not prepared for it. I was opposed to it mentally, but not spiritually. When I finally opened my mind and became willing to receive something contrary to the status quo, things changed all for the better.
Some may ask, “Do you really believe all these great teachers and theologians have been wrong for hundreds, even thousands, or years?! How selfish.”

Never have I been more at peace than believing in the Gospel of peace.
