You are correct as long as you include the rest of the Bible in your knowledge/choice: 1) There are many Bible statements that we are to adhere only to a church with sound love and sound doctrine. 2) There are many Bible statements that sometimes some people are called to missionize/travel/go elsewhere.

Sometimes we have trials, claim the promise of Proverbs "the sleep of the righteous is SWEET" but for more serious problems, visit a Spirit-filled church to ask for deliverance ministry.

People are willing to drive quite a distance on Sundays to find what they want and need--doctrine, fellowship, etc.

That translation of Acts 2 is incorrect. From the Greek to English it is better rendered as "Change your mind, therefore, and be baptized in water, for God has already saved you."

Noah's line was pure of the corruption from the sons of Cain and etc. All people are therefore cousins--love thy neighbor.

You can pray again, "Lord is it time for me to step in? Please give me clear biblical and other guidance."

He is the Savior for ETERNITY. 490 times is a START.

1. What did Adam and Eve eat after the Garden? There were sacrificed animals to eat. 2. Proverbs says to avoid overindulgence, including meat. Balance the diet. 3. If you love animals and don't want to eat meat, you are free to do so.

Bread and wine and blessings are a part of weekly and even daily life for Jewish people. We likely overcomplicated things and Jesus was saying, "Remember me often, when you eat and bless God for food."

I felt maximal joy and this small revelation. Minimally speaking. Blessings!

Sounds like an interesting way to witness and do apologetics!

You said it! Don't die on this hill. There are verses about your husband honoring his parents, and you honoring him as well. Your baby will never remember the baptism unless you make a big deal of it many years from now! Now you get your atheist husband to a church this way--so you arrange to both talk to the priest beforehand, then witness to the priest, so later you can explain salvation as a free gift vs. the Catholic works system. :)

The sacrifices are pictures of Christ. People who trust Christ once for salvation have assurance, and born again Christians who sin after salvation come back to the same Christ more than annually for love, mercy and peace.

Why are you shocked that nonbelievers despise the Bible? If they loved the Bible, they'd be believers, yes?

1) Because "paralambano" in the "taken" passage in Matthew can mean "receive, such as an office or appointment", as in the blessed hope of a new, resurrected body in 1 Cor 15 2) Because the context of all of Matthew 24/25 is the disciples asking about end times events!

1) You said he had peace for hours than went to be with Jesus. 2) A demon can torment a Christian--think of someone hanging on your back and weighing you down, literally. They are not inside you but they can harass you. Be grateful your dad was born again and went to Heaven and know he is at peace. :)

I was hired from a temp post to a job I enjoyed for seven years. There are two kinds of temp jobs: 1) Fill in for an absentee worker who shall return to their post 2) Work without benefits for a while in a test for full employment Don't give up!

Yes, I've worked at a temp agency and help hire people from temp to full employment. Why do you ask?

There are many churches with small groups inside them, modeled after the Acts house churches. The main (upsetting) difference are all the ranks of professional clergy when there should be many working pastors.

God has answered! Be a faithful witness, defend your father and his fiancee with your knowledge and judgment. God asks born again Christians to faithfully witness truth.

1) Because the atheist would call a friend to say they just hallucinated. A person in Hell is someone who always had an out for trusting in Jesus, no matter what Jesus did to them or for them. 2) Because zero miracles are for God to merely show off, all miracles helped a person(s) in need. Try to think of some examples, for instance, God parted a sea so the people fleeing an army could flee and the army be destroyed...

All answers must boil down to only a few possibilities, someone hears/reads the New Testament, and then experiences God personally or verifies the Bible, for example, through its extraordinary prescience concerning events, for example, concerning Israel since 1948 in the modern era! You meet God and/or learn God wrote the Bible.

No one has seen God the Father. In the Hebrew scriptures, God the Son interacted with people.

Sometimes a little conflict will wake your faith. For example, go to the Atheist annotated Bible online and see how insane their "contradictions" are.

Biblically speaking, the sin you mention is rejecting Christ. If you love and trust Jesus, you cannot perform any unpardonable sin.
