RE: WHAT DEATH IS BIBLICAL WAY

You ought to respect and show proper manners when speaking to a lady.

RE: WHAT DEATH IS BIBLICAL WAY

Hello Sharnah. How are you sister in Christ?

It is true, that the dead do not know what is happening on earth, but they certainly know what's going on in heaven (Revelation 6:9).

The Bible clearly tells us that we are not to pray to the dead (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). This can perhaps account for many of the supernormal apparitions that are connected with using images and venerating or praying to departed persons, since the Bible speaks of demons working deceiving "signs" and "wonders" (2 Thessalonians 2:9; Revelation 16:14).


God bless, sister!

RE: WHAT DEATH IS BIBLICAL WAY

Whiteisfresh

Hello sir. It is helpful to keep in mind that God is sovereign over life. God created life and He has a right to take it. People assume if it is wrong for us it is wrong for God. However, it's wrong for me to take life because I didn't make it and I don't own it.

For example, it's wrong for me to go in your yard and pull up your bushes, cut them down, and kill them, transplant them and move them around. I can do that in my yard, because I own the bushes in my yard. Well God is sovereign over all life and He has the right to take life as He wishes. In fact, we tend to forget that God takes the life of every human being. It's called death. The only question is when and how, which we have to leave to Him.

RE: Older Women Versus Younger Men!!!

Hey GoDaniel

If there is a good chemistry between one another, and they are functionally capatable in their core beliefs, and both communicate well on a relational level, then I don't believe age is a factor, unless the age gap is too great or extreme.


God bless, my friend!

RE: DONT BE DECEIVED BY THE ANTICHRIST AND FALSE DOCTR

Hello sister!

A thought provoking topic regarding the last days (present tense). For the Bible accurately predicted how people would reject and distort the Word of God, from the cults to the occult, and from the skeptics to the critics. In pondering this, I'm reminded of this quote by Blaise Pascal...

"Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it."


Thanks for an enlightening blog.


God bless, you!

RE: I pray for YOU, you pray for ME intercessory pray

Hello Sharna


I will keep you in prayer, along with our brothers and sisters, in Christ. For God can do a mighty work in us, through the power of the Holy Spirit, in proclaiming His truth, in love.

God bless, sister! Serendipity

RE: Religion Yes I'm going there

Hi Kendall

Some people assume that truth is depends on age. A belief is rejected because it is old or young. But that is beside the point. What is the evidence for their postion? What reasoning supports it?

Simon Greenleaf the Harvard professor who wrote the standard study on what constitutes legal evidence, credited his conversion to Christianity as having come from his careful examination of the Gospel witnesses. If anyone knew the characteristics of genuine eyewitness testimony, it was Greenleaf. He concluded that the four Gospels "would have been received in evidence in any court of justice, without the slightest hesitation."


We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty (2 Peter 1:16).

RE: what is Heaven for you?

Hi aisha

We would not be happy in heaven if we knew that others had been unjustly kept out. However, since God is just, we can rest assure that this won't be the case. We can be happy in heaven the same way we can be happy eating while knowing others are starving- namely, if we have offered them food but they refused to eat it. No matter the situation God will wipe every tear from their eyes (Revelation 21:4).

God bless!

Hello my friend. Yes, I thank Jesus, that his light is shining on me both externally (the sun's rays) and internally (in my heart).


God bless!

No sun burns? In heaven no such problems will exist (Revelation 21:23).

I agree. To put your life into the hands of the One who is in sovereign control, makes all the difference in having that eternal security, in the midst, of our present circumstances.


God bless!

Good to see you!

RE: never say never

Never say never. You just did (you said never).

Just joking with ya.

Love can be defined as, "Willing the good of another person."

Hey Cmiyer

Thanks for sharing this sister. Developing an awareness of this is a positive step in the right direction.

RE: Belief in God 1

Hi Socrates


Interesting topic. I believe some people abandon their belief that God exists, because their pride gets in the way, in seeing their need to humble themselves to a divine authority.

Jesus used a little child to make his point, in regards, to having a childlike trust (faith) in God, as a condition for salvation.

Jesus said: I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whosoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of God (Matthew 18:2).

Your welcome, dear.

ChristenDew



If you both agreed to exclusively to date one another, then I can see where your anger would be justified. Jealousy can be right, when one is jealous about what belongs to them (for example, someone's love and loyalty), in a committed relationship.


Save your heart for someone worth committing to.

BTW, good topic GoDaniel.

RE: .....The AfterLife!!!

I agree. For it takes more faith to believe that finite, limited, things, don't need a cause.

RE: The Scriptures And God

Hello sir


Jesus also said that there would be weeds (unbelievers) among the wheat (believers) in the church, and that God would separate the them on the day of judgement (Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43). Therefore, the question we must ask ourselves is weather we are willing to trust in Jesus Christ alone, in regards, to our eternal destiny.

For faith, in the biblical sense, involves more than intellectual assent, but a heart commitment, in receiving Christ, as our personal Saviour (Romans 10:9-10; Revelation 3:20). For Christ alone (the sinless Son of God) is able to bridge the gap between sinful humanity and a holy God (1 Timothy 2:5). However, to appropriate this truth, we must make a free choice.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).

Yet to all who received him (Christ) to those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12).

Christianity is not merely a religion, but a personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ. Those who experience Him, are never the same, for they are eternally secure in His love.

RE: Past. Present & Future Mental Exercise

Hello sir.


Thanks for sharing your knowledge, in regards to time. However, I do not hold eternity to be endless time. Lol.


Eternity does not mean time without an end (endless time).

For an infinite number of moments is impossible. If an infinite number of moments occurred before today, then today would never have come, since it is impossible to traverse an infinite number of moments (yet time up to today has been traversed).

There is no end of an infinite, but today is the end of all previous moments. Today has arrived, hence, an infinite number of moments could not have occurred before today. Eternality means nontemporaity or time-lessness.


In distinguishing eternity from endless time, I quote from Thomas Aquinas:


First, whatever is essentially whole is essentially different from what has parts. Eternity differs from time in this way (eternity is a Now; time has now and then); hence, eternity is essentially different from time. In other words, God's eternity is not divided; it is all present to Him in His eternal Now. So it must be essentially different from time, which comes only a moment at a time.

Second, endless time is not eternity, it is simply more of time. Eternity differs in kind from time; that is, it differs essentially, not merely accidentally, from time. Endless time differs only accidentally from time because it is only an elongation of time. Since endless time is simply time- just more of it- eternity must differ from it essentially. To state it another way, more of the same thing is essentially the same thing; therefore, endless time does not differ essentially from time.

Third, an eternal being cannot change, whereas time involves change by which the measurements of befores and afters can be made. Thus an eternal being such as God cannot change.

Hi Lol. God bless you!

Heaven is a Place

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling with God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or morning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He (God) who was seated on the throne said, "Write these things down, for these words are trustworthy and true" (Revelation 21:1-5).



Good night everyone.

RE: Just a thought on this journey, we call life...

Hello sundayrose

God loves you! And inspite of your situation, He can bring about a greater good. For an all-powerful God can do it, and an all-loving God wants to it. Therefore, choose to trust in Him, and it will be done. God says in His Word:

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13).

You are in my thoughts and prayers!

RE: what came first in universe ?

Hello sir

According to the Bible: "In the beginning (time) God created the heavens (space) and the earth (matter)" (Genesis 1:1).

God is the First Cause, of everything that exist. He is self-existent, timeless, nonspatial, and immaterial. Since the First Cause created time, space, and matter, the First Cause must be outside of time, space, and matter. In other words, He is without limits and is infinite.


God bless!


sundayrose

Time began with creation (Genesis 1:1). Before creation, time did not exist. The world did not begin by a creation in time but a creation of time. You may be thinking, if there was no time before time began, what was there? The answer is, eternity. God is eternal, and the only thing prior to time was eternity. God bless!
