A chirstian desires god above anything else. If you have ever really been at that place where nothing satisfies your hunger and your thirst other than Him, then you will find many other subsitutes in the kitchen of life. Christian faith is rooted in the absolute assurance that christ is the most...
You are blessed indeed! Its amazing how god keeps us safe. Always making a way of escape, always working in us, always drawing, always forgiving, always ready to give us every good gift from above. And there isnt any other fullfillment other than him. What an amazing God we have!:clap
The real church is doing what god wants them to do. Jesus knew that there would be imposters in his church (which is not a building) but a collective group of people saved by his grace through faith. You cant play footsy with the devil even if he mascarades as an angel of light. You cant play...
The video was very funny. I had a good laugh.

I guess now he knows if there is an invisible man in the 'sky'.:D
yes as paul said clearly in his letters, if any man wants to boast he can only boast in one thing, that the knows christ. And to know christ would never ever have been possible had god not drawn us to him and elected us to bestow his special favour on us, in order to show forth the glory of his...
Also, just before i sign off, this transformation that happens inside of us, is not a changing of the 'evil' spritual man into a 'good' spiritual man. The transformation im talking about is the gradual realising, becoming aware, revealing of the recreated new inner man to our conscience. We are...
Its not making any sense is it? I can deal with all your questions but i will answer what i can without having to post scripture yet. This subject is deep and can take a long time even for a christian to fully explore all of its depth.
Instead of putting it all out there and wasting my time...
Well it really comes down to faith in my opinion. And we can see that many dont have it so they cant believe. And of course immediately folk will cry out THAT IS NOT FAIR, and you know and people get all like this :fight: and then christians want to start appologising because they have faith and...
He does not need it, he has it. God knows that he is the most glorious being in all of the universe and all of heaven and beyond. He does not need for us to bring him glory neither does he need for us to supress his glory. He delights in making himself known to us, and to reveal his glory for...
In christianity GOD cannot be deceived either. The intent to deceive god was not forgiven in this case, the man did not actually succeed in deceiving god, but he wanted to. Now the reason he was struck dead in my opinion is because he was agnostic. Everybody else was selling their things and...
Well you see it is fiction to you because you dont have faith. I dont blame you here, i can just sympathise. Not that you need my sympathy of course but from my perspective i think it would have been advantageous for you to have access to god, because it really does bring with it a sense of...
Look, if it makes you feel that sick, then you really should not be talking about it too much. Or does it make you sick, but not enough to stay away from it?
Naturally it makes you feel sick. It would make me feel sick as well, if i didnt understand it. I understand my need for god. I understand that absolute reliance on him is important, but what i understand most of all, is that i DESIRE god. And what i understand second to that, is that i should...
