Billiards Ball

Supporting friends are ALWAYS a need. People who condemn you for a sin (adultery, drug abuse, etc.) rather than forgive and correct you/help you in love are not your friends.

The Bible prohibits murder but also justified killing. Concision, dear readers, concision. What else is to be possibly said to the OP but "Study the scriptures prayerfully to discern which killings are justified"?

If one of the three of you isn't an elder you tithe to, how do you fulfill that command? It's not "weaponizing" to say, "Here's another scripture that requires obedience, assembling the church".

The NT analogy is the efficiency of a single finger or toe without a supporting body. And how would the independent Christian make disciples who make disciples to reach this world for Jesus?

What do you mean "no sentence structure" apart from oral tradition? Learning some Talmudic teachings, oral and written, help explain many of the arguments in the NT scriptures. But BILLIONS have come to faith in Jesus for eternal life without Talmud.

Women are allowed to teach men if the women are under the blessing and authority of their church elders.

Be cautious about building OCD in your thinking. Your examples aren't found in the Bible.

Witnesses are no different than most except for their clinging to annihilationism (no Hell for unbelievers) and except for their refusal to interpret the Bible for themselves (almost 100% of Watchtower teachings include official Watchtower intrepretation). Keep it simple: 1) Are you 100% sure of eternal life? (no JW can be since they base on works) 2) Did you know the Bible shows Jesus died and rose to perfect imperfect people and we must trust HIM rather than our works?

Have you pursued Christian counseling in the context of a church?

You are telling people the perfect God died and rose for imperfect people, so YES. And sharing the gospel is very motivating to get you to upgrade your own life!

Jesus ate the Passover with His disciples in the Upper Room before appearing to them there. We visit the spot on our annual Holy Land tours if you want to join us! Do you have the desire for marriage? Pursue it, it's a normal desire. If you have these itchings when you desire only singleness, your need is for powerful intercessory prayer against demonic attack!

Are you born again? Should you date a practicing witch or wiccan, or seek a Christian to date?

Ask her what percentage she trusts Jesus. If she says "not sure, 10%" ask to pray on that 10%, pray with her.

Wide = many ways to perdition Narrow = one way to salvation (trust God, not self) These are not statements of how many are saved!

Murder - unrighteous killing Execution - sometimes sanctioned by God or government The command of Exodus 20 is Thou Shalt Not Murder.

Ah, but there are times when faith does NOT produce works. Someone who rests on the Sabbath and things are accomplished regardless . . . someone who has to decide between two alternatives and waits on Jesus for a prompting, etc. Salvation is trust in the One who can make you morally perfect. Religion is the attempt to perfect oneself for Heaven.

It's rather easy: 1) A Third Temple exists in Jerusalem 2) People flock to worship Antichrist there

Hi Kenzie, Start by parsing who is a true Christian. Only someone who has trusted Jesus, not their good deeds or mass or confession or etc. for salvation IS saved. Trust Jesus today for eternal life AND to feel "connected" in Bible reading. Real saved men are real men who wait for marriage. My son did so, got married and is HAPPY and they expect their first child in two months. Anyone you have sex with will be in your head and heart when you marry INCLUDING your future husband. Divorce in the USA is 1:2 and for two virgins 1:1,000!

Call on the name of Jesus/read the Bible after such an attack. Satan will stop doing things that bring you to reading the Bible!

I used to believe firmly in predestination, then God changed my mind for me, as He'd planned to do.

God loves everyone and died and rose to offer them salvation. God has special caretaking for those who've trusted Him for salvation. Have you trusted in Jesus for salvation or are you working hard to solve your own problems only?

1! Jesus said all born agains are priests.

Christians are in general less exposed to world culture/more naive. Christians try to be kind, giving, rather than shrewd/manipulative.

In this particular sin, "Kill my brother!" Cain was not forced against free will to give in to temptation.

Mainline is usually older denominations that have fallen to apostasy and heresy. For example, gay pastors, allowing divorce for a variety of reasons, claiming the Bible is myth, etc. Evangelical tends toward fundamental beliefs and trusting Jesus personally as Savior to distinct Christians from churchgoers.
