  1. Sorry for the delay in replying. As I said there is no problem in asking questions. You believe and trust in Jesus, that you don't retain all the answers is no a problem. Sometimes it takes an awful lot more repetition to remember something, keep working at it.
  2. That I agree with and is why I stay with the idea that the word pictures etc in revelation are symbolic.
  3. When words like, ' likely' and ' around ' are used about what are presented as detailed calculations I have enormous doubts about the validity of that argument.
  4. Asking questions is always OK. One for you. How are you at accepting answers? My answer to your questions is :- Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. A third question is, where did your questions come from? What caused you to think they were valid questions.
  5. Yet revelation is a book of word pictures, much that is in it isnot literal and the 1k is one of them, it is a figurative or symbolic period of time.
  6. What is evil? Well if God is good then evil is what ever rejects God. Take a look at your neighbourhood, where are people on Sunday? In church or worshipping their God the devil?
  7. Context, context and again context. Without context you are writing nonsense. Doubt is not a sin, the context is of someone's who's faith is weak and they believe that meat sacrificed to animals in pagan temples is to demons, but they are being lead astray by more confident Christians to eat of that meat. That is where they are doubting without this context all is nonsense. There is however two sins about doubts. 1. If a leader ignores questions and doubts of a follower and tells them to " just believe " or " have faith " that is a serious sin by that leader. 2, if someone with questions and doubts does not look for answers.
  8. No one is born a Christian. They may have Christian parents, or live in a Christian culture, but each person must themselves accept Jesus as their saviour and Lord. Do we care for the poor? I suspect that we will All be rebuked for how little we have practically cared for the poor. Why do I say I am a Christian? Because Jesus rose from the dead.
  9. Writing this question shows you do not understand God's Holi ess or his Justice. Basic fact, God would be perfectly just to confirm dem every , living person to he'll for every .Ivinghoe soul hates God and has never, ever done anything to obey God. A question for you. What are you doing to support and enable the proclamation of the gospel where ever it has not yet gone? It is pointless writing post like this if you and your church are not actively supporting missionaries.
  10. What you are quoting are alternatives words, they are not missing words. If you use sites like biblehub you can compare almost every different translation and paraphrase of any verse.
  11. A useful bit of information as to why Adams rib was used to create Eve, is that tibs will regrow, if removed carefully. God used Adams rib to form Eve, and his rib regrew so men don't have a lesser number of ribs than women. For an article and medical explanation see:- Creation.com/regenerating-ribs-adam-and-that-missing-rib
  12. Or read the bible, neither promise physical healing for everyone.
  13. As a Christian, attending church, or even better a church member you can talk to the preacher. While doing so one can tell him where he is wrong, where he is right and comment on his surmon. Any church where they object to this question them, the ownership of church property, ( if owned by the preacher, another big question mark. ) We are all to interact with each other, teaching, encouraging each other and a church where this doesn't happen should be left.
  14. So prove that these ' omissions ' change essential doctrine.
  15. Through which we can manipulate God into doing what we want.There is no set formula Miraculous healing happens according to God's plan and purpose for us. What we can expect is the grace, strength and peace to enable us to cope with the horrible difficulties of life.
  16. Please post the " questionable " verses that show that essential teachings are compromised by translation s like the A V, NIV, A SB etc etc etc. While there are ma y translation none of the compromise the gospel. Which reduces 5his discussion to a storm in a tea cup.
  17. Most young Christians leave christianith because they are not taught how to wxpla8n and defend what they believe. When they encounter aggressive evolutionists and atheists they have no arguments or answers. Being preached at to " Just have faith " and " only believe " does not teach them the historical facts behind Christianity. What happens to our children does not affect our destination.
  18. An anti God faith based idea which cannot be falsified.
  19. No he referred to genesis in the context of marriage. He made the point that man has always existed. " at the begining the Creator made them male and female." Matt 19:4 niv. If you look at other translation like the King James it says from the beginning of creation he made them. Jesus is backing a literal understanding of the creation account.
  20. Write your next research paper from a yec scientist perspective and see how open minded and evidence bases their judgement is. I will remind you that the Royal society had an education office who made the grave error of public5 saying that children who believed in creation should be reasoned with. The uproar over this radical concept cost him his job.
  21. There several types of proof, it is not only mathematical proof that exists. Example, you prove it is safe to overtake a car or turn across a busy junction based on what you can see and judge. Courts want to prove what is reasonable to determine the guilt or innocence of an accused person.
  22. We will only be at risk if the devil attempts to preempt Jesus's 2nd coming, when every eye will see him. Any other supernatural manifestation of God/Jesus is fake.
  23. Science does not recognise the non material. The supernatural does not exist! That said, they have to work with the immaterial numbers,maths, logic/reasoning and morality. As to where heaven and hell physically is? They are not physical places, God is Spirit and heaven is where ever God is and he'll is that small spiritual place where God's presence is not. Heaven become physical when the new heaven and a new earth is made.
  24. How about quoting the questions and some responses to them.
  25. There are practical reasons for using a few people to lead services. Two simple reasons are the inability of many people to publicly speak clearly and the unwi.lingness of people to get up in front of people. We regularly have times of sharing, testimony open prayer, very few people will speak and some that do are so incoherent they are unintelligible,. Having people who are able to prepare and deliver a service is a great blessing. Having people who delight in playing music leading the singing is another blessing. Both groups need the humility to recognise they are servi5 God and the congregation, not them selves. Talk to your minister, preachers and musicians, how can you encourage, support and pray for them.
