Who me

God SO Loved the world that he gave us his Son!

Yet Noah got very drunk. David, a man after God's heart, was an adulter and a murderer. Solomon greatly blessed by God worshipped false gods. Abraham the man of faith, lied repeatedly . And so it goes on we are all sinners saved by grace. There is no standard of goodness we have to achieve in order to be blessed.

And just how did they explain the love of Jesus to him?

Because to have a ' phobia ' is to be intolerant and the Liberal left belief that they are the tolerant ones, that Christians are the intolerant that the liberals have to be intolerant of.

Well it's good that there is an evangelical Christian TV broadcast, but they must be hard up for material if they are talking about why catholics are no longer Catholic. This should not have gone further than the program researchers desk. What they want are atheists with a reason that can be argued and debated. Should the church apologise? Which church? Certain.y the rcc should,but what was this atheists response to the suggestion of a formal apology . Would he be in church next sunday?

People often look at God's warning of curses or of punishment and see only the action. They do not see the behaviour that caused the warnings or brought about actual punishment. People want the blessing without the living by the commands and see the consequential judgement as cruel and unfair.

Please reread my post you responded to. You will see I was replying to words word and quoted his post. We are talking about God's knowledge of who will be saved.

Yes, but that knowledge doesn't stop us evangelising or praying for convertions.

We are told to pray for those who persecute us. What is one praying for? That they be saved! If one does not pray for the salvation of others, why tell them the gospel? God graciously uses us in the process of salvation, our witnessing, our prayers all are used by God to save his elect. Never stop praying for the salvation of those you witness to.

May I encourage you to investigate the sermons by another English preacher, namely the Dr Martin Lloyd Jones. Many of his sermons are available as recordings and are on line.

Sorry that you have had a disappointing reaction from this friend. May I encourage you to continue to pray for this person. I would suggest that witnessing to them be left until they initiate a spiritual conversation.

Here is an analysis of the Lucis trust:-https://maricamicallef.com/2023/10/what-is-lucis-trusts-relationship-with-the-un-and-what-are-its-goals/

Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, so the vilest offender the moment he believes, that moment a pardon from Jesus receives. An old hymn that speaks of salvation. We will be judged on how we have served Jesus as 1cor3:10-15 says, and there are different rewards for us in heaven.

First of all, I think you should both sit down and talk about how each of you does and should interact with the opposite sex. If this cannot be down without starting an argument, try each of you writing it down and then reading g the others paper and writing a response. If your husband gets angry when you talk to another man, indicates he has a problem which needs resolution. Generally for married couples they should not be alone in a closed room with another person of the opposite sex. That lifts should be openly and immediately acknowledged, going for drinks meals regularly with the same person is a no no. This applies to him as much as to her.

It is a difficult area to talk about graciously, as any contrary view is often seen as hatred. I think there are two areas to concentrate on. 1, that God's plan for humanity is life long marriage between one man and one women as shown in genesis. By concentrating on what is supposed to be the norm one avoids critiicsing other views. 2. The claim is Christian cannot enforce their views on others, yet that is precisely what the lgtb are doing, forcing everyone to endorse there views. What percentage of the population, according to national censuses, are lgtb. Here in the UK it is less then 5%, so who is compelling who?

As the others have said or implied. Turn to Jesus in prayer asking for help. That and talk to your doctor to ensure you are mentally sane.

Yes, no one knows when Jesus will return. One might have an idea that it is getting near, but that soon could be tomorrow or in another thousand years.

The verse describes what ordinary believers did.

May I suggest checking out the Christianity Explor3d website for churches in your area. As for your girlfriend, don't give her money for cannabis, encourage her to attend church with you and to start looking for work.

Good to hear this, not everyone has this advantage.

It is the practical action of believers everywhere that they " 4 Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. ! "

May I suggest you go back to the beginning and look at what you belie and what the bible actually teaches. The simplist way of doing this would be to check out the Christianityexplored Web site for a church near you the either is going to run this course or has and get in touch with them. The way this course operates is to meet in a home, have a meal, watch a video on an aspect of Christianity and discuss it. There is no compulsion to attend church. It gives one a chance to investigate what the Bible says, ask questions and check out the Christians running the course.

A prominent reason but not the most. A far more prominent reason is the failure of Christian churches to teach and train believers in what they believe, how to defend that belief, to explain rationally there belief. Surveys of students has shown that there not been given answers to the questions they find or are challenged by leave them with the belief that the bible is untrue, and Christianity is irrelevant to modern life. A test of this. When did your churchhear a sermon about biblical principles affecting life today, or when was the last apologetic men's meeting? Another take see:-https://answersingenesis.org/church/going-going-gone/

It depends on what is important to you. To maintain a self imposed discipline, even if it offends people you are close to, or are you like Paul willing to give up everything inorder to reach people. I'm assuming these co workers are not Christian who invite you to share their food, so accept the offer, don't make a fuss about breaking your fast and seek opertunities to gossip the gospel.
