  1. Either God is God and can forsee and predestined all that is going to happen in such a way that we are not robots. Or God is not in charge and something else is. Take your pick, worship the God who is God or start searching for the God who s God.
  2. Salvation is Only through faith in Jesus. There is no salvation because one is an obedient to the laws and traditions of Judaism. The obedient Jew is a follower of Jesus. Go knows those he has chosen and ledger and just as Elijah complained only he was left, only to learn that God had kept seven thousand who had not missed Baal so at the last day that same remnant, the total and final number of saved messianic Jews will be found in heaven.
  3. Well one lead test of that love of other Christians can be seen in the willingness of Christians to join regularly as members of their local church. It is a fallicy to say I love Christians yet not meet with them regularly Sunday by Sunday. Just as it is a fallicy to say I love Or/Jesus yet fail to obey there commands.
  4. You have online therapy, do they give you any feedback, could you ask for feedback. By that I mean for an assessment by your online therapist of there opinion of your mental state. I am unsure why someone who is autistic needs therapy? Does it do you any good? I suspect leaving among other Christians, working at a job and interacting with customers and fellow workers would be the best therapy. I you cannot talk could you text, message or email. You enjoy writing so with these you should be able to express your self more clearly. What do the people in the church you are involved with think? How do they comment on you and what you are doing? Are there any retired it guys who want a hobby talking to you, or any guys laid off who could spare you some time?
  5. Do you often have voices or thoughts in your had telling you to do things or condemning you? If fighting or arguing with those thoughts only makes things worse you may need professional help. May I suggest you talk with your minister about this.
  6. God is not a God of chaos, but of order. If he has something for you to say to your family he will tell you clearly. You are worried for them and as a result are dreaming about them. Use your restless nights, lack of sleep due to your concern for them as an introduction to start talking and listening to what they believe. Even if God gives you a clear message you are going to have to do this, talk to them about your sleep. So get into the habit of asking why do you believe that and what evidence do you have for that belief. Be prepared to answer the same questions without using, you just believe or just have faith. The command is always be prepared to give a REASON for your faith.

    THE BOOK OF LIFE

    Ultimately there is only one piece of evidence that anyone is a Christian and that is, that they are there in heaven. It is why there is so much about not sinning, be careful one does not fall etc etc. We have to endure, to strive to continue to the end, those who don't were never saved in the first place.
  8. If someone with mental illness does not take there medication or adopts a life style that counteracts there medication then I consider that they are responsible for there deeds.
  9. One can always pray. You know you are starting to or are slipping into sin so rather than pray for something you don't need pray for the determination to take the way out from temptation that God always provides and walk away from what ever is tempting you, switch off the computer, etc etc and do something else. If you know the problem and you know the answer what do you need the ability to interpret for? Isn't it really just an excuse not to be obedient.
  10. God is a God of order not chaos and that is likely if people believe the end of the world, as we know it, will happen in any given year.
  11. Welcome to the forum. As the Bible calls God, God the Father, I accept that he is male. C. S. Lewes wrote about the masculinity of God that he was so masculine that he made us look femine.
  12. Do we live up to what we are? Does the world have any idea and is there rejection of us because we are a reflection of Jesus?
  13. Take a look around your church, how many people can it hold. No look at the area you serve, how many houses etc are there in that area? I am certain that your church cannot hold all the people who live in your area. A simple demonstration that Satan is currently the prince of this world. If he wasn't then churches would be packed, society would be changed and Jesus honoured right around the world.
  14. I wrote about there responcibility. Ultimately God forgives a Christian his sins, but there is no easy believism, we have to strive to show our love for Jesus.
  15. God knows all about your illness and he does not hold you accountable for sins done when I'll. However it is like being an alcoholic, once one knows that is what one is, then any drunk driving is your responcibility simarly with your illness, if you are looking after yourself, eating properly, not getting drunk and taking your medication correctly you won't have serious problem, but if you abuse your body,fail to take your medication etc then any sins committed are your responcibility. And God will hold you to account unless you confess and ask for forgiveness. You are the only one who is responcibile for the success of your treatment.
  16. What do you mean by preach? Stand up at work and give them a lecture/sermon? Or do you mean to seek to live at work/college etc to a higher moral standard than those with you and to be willing to talk about Christianity and defend what and why you believe it? Can you give a reason for what and why you believe? Are you willing to look foolish before your mates, because when they catch you out doing what you shouldn't they will point it out! Do you know the minimal facts for the resurrection? If you don't start asking your minister why these things are not part of his regular preaching?

    THE BOOK OF LIFE

    Majoring in minor matters, what evidence do you have that ' this book ' is the Lambs book of life? Then there are the repeated promises of Jesus that he will not loose any of his people. Given the lengths to which Jesus went to so we might be saved, just what lengths will he go to to ensure we are saved?
  18. Because the disciples sang with Jesus. Because the earliest accounts of Christian worship says they sang a hymn to Jesus as to a God, prayed read the sacred writings and they were commented on by a leader. As they began so we carry on.
  19. Have you thought this through? In an age where Christianity is seen as being intolerant, and where tolerance for anything that is not in step with the face of society. You want Christians to nenouce other Christian groups because they are not 'Christian'. Have you any idea of what is happening around the world to Christians, to Christians who are often Christian because it is there ' tribe ' and you want to attack Jews! May I suggest you read about the Christians in the Roman empire, how they lived, how they suffered, particularly how they loved others and think. The world is run by Satan,, we are here to spread the good news, get involved in politics and fight for Christian standards. Followers of the devil, they are every single person who is not a Christian.
  20. Web sites like Bible gateway etc are your friend. No there are no verses that use these theological terms.
  21. Jesus became a man. That means he had a physical body like you have and just as you are confined to one place at a time, so was Jesus.
  22. Jesus is coming again. When that happens none of our ideas, clever plans about how it will happens I'll work. Jesus will be here, something utterly Awesome for everybody and that he is coming is all that matters.
  23. How old are your children and are they seeing, staying with there mother? Your concern should be for your children. If they see her and go to stay with her then you have to be friendly. If they are old enough not to need her and can decide for themselves whether to see/stay with her then minimal politeness is required. I would not attend there wedding. I would attend your mother in law's funeral, but not go to there house. Forgiveness, have they apologized, repented of there sins, that is not living together. If they have not you have no need to forgive them. See Luke 17:3. What you do is tell the Lord all about it, your hurt, betrayal, harm to your children etc etc etc and commit it all to God for him to deal with. Then you pray for there well being, you pray the best you can for there health, happiness and spiritual maturity etc
  24. There is John 2:23-25 Jesus did not need anybodies testimony about man for he knew what was in man.
  25. And to do something about it harvest festival food offering, the cas collection to go to those in need. On this point my brain cell has been excited. It is unlikely that churches will be open for harvest, so what about each church collecting to give to a suitable charity despit the lockdown etc!
