  1. Yes, God's will is PERFECT, even his word is PERFECT. But we humans are NOT. We can't even do good to others when they mistreat us.
  2. Following Christ must be personal. We can't get credit from God from others must accept Christ on our own. The word say that God is drawing people to himself. John 6:44.
  3. Yes, Jesus often spoke in illustrations or parables. like the one about Lazarus and the rich man. Many take that literal
  4. Oversight, there is a form of speech called hyperbole which means the statement is exaggerated to make a point. I think Jesus was stressing the extreme length we might have to go to avoid sinning. example the eye - some may choose not to watch tv at all if it causes certain emotions to come up that they can't control. That's extreme to some like putting out ones eye.
  5. Think Jesus is referring to his true followers in comparison to the world which is in darkness because Satan is its ruler 1 John 5:19. Whereas his followers are to be different shedding spiritual light/enlightenment to those seeking.
  6. Whatever we are going through the bible says that God is faithful not to put more on us than what we can bear. 1 Corinthian 10:13 but will give us the wisdom and power to cope to endure it.
  7. Jesus said he is the Way, Truth, and Life. therefore I believe we must pray to God through Jesus for our prayers to be heard.
  8. Well, Jesus and Paul give Christians words of wisdom for marriages. Jesus at Matthew 19:9 give the only basis that God approves of to dissolve a marriage (not that it has to be dissolved) forgiveness can be extended. Paul at 1 Corinthians 7 allows for separation but with the idea of making up again.
  9. My thoughts are in line with what Revelation mentions at Revelations 11:18b how man have been ruining the earth for so long. The Ozone is just about gone, pollution is everywhere etc. Therefore I'm not surprise we are having climate issues. And man can't correct the problem. That's why Almighty God stated he will ruin those ruining the earth.
  10. racism is too deeply ingrained. Need Almighty God's help
  11. Remember faithless people can acquire faith..never give up hope
  12. definitely its IMPOSSIBLE to be perfect as long as we are imperfect!!
  13. Talking to atheists I would try to find out what they actually believe or don't believe in because there are different views of atheists.
  14. where in scripture are there 6 keys?
  15. agree homelessness causes are many. As we can state the problems its more encouraging to site some solutions. Whereas man has yet to fix the problem. Think it will only be solved when Almighty God steps in.
  16. Agree there are too many different denominations and what makes them different is the doctrines they teach. Therefore we must study the word to see what the bible actually teach! Because like Paul just because we have a zeal for what we believe don't make it right.
  17. I think realizing where we are in the stream of time can help in staying awake spiritually. Just as with literal wakefulness, when you know when something is about to happen we tend to be more aware/awake in anticipating it.
  18. Think we must put forth some effort to form a good habit that will stick
  19. James 2:17 states "faith WITHOUT works is dead.. therefore we must do something to be saved. John 17:3 take in knowledge, get to know our creator and conform to his will is a start.
  20. Rich man and Lazarus is a parable just like many of Jesus examples. God didn't create Hell and Paradise was the Garden of Eden
  21. well, I think the problem can be that there are so many differences of opinion that to find what Almighty God is really saying. Not what man says
  22. Jesus did have the Hebrew scrolls. Recall Luke 4:21 where Jesus quoted from Isaiah 61
  23. I agree there are so many interpretations of the bible. Therefore we need to pray to God to reveal to us which is true and based on his word the bible. God is drawing us to him and don't make coming to him difficult.
  24. Agree we need to know Jesus but from what John 17:3 Jesus said : "We must take in knowledge of both him and who sent him". Who would that be??
