In another thread discussing eternal torment the discussion around Lazarus and the rich man came up as it is wont to do in these discussions. The tennis match of "it's a parable/no, it's not a parable" had started but that usually gets no where. No we must allow scripture to speak for itself...

The Erosion of Religious Liberty I am apolitical. Unabashedly so in fact. Have been for quite a number of years now. The circus that was the election for the California Governor's seat in 2003 sealed the deal for me. And no, I didn’t vote for Arnold. I voted for one of the other 100+...

Hi! :wave This thread has been set up to counter a thread that has cropped up that is attempting to label the Seventh-day Adventist denomination as a non-Christian "cult." I have just a few ground rules and those are related to asking questions about the SDA fundamental beliefs. Please 1)...

The Hanukkah season is upon us. It is easy to get up in the same frenzy as the “Christmas Seasonâ€, with the buying of gifts, decorating the house festively, the planning of family get-togethers, and so on. As believers, we try to keep the focus on spiritual things, such as the miracle that...

*The Four Questions… 1.) What if I told you that your youngest child was murdered? Would you want mercy or justice for the perpetrator? 2.) What if I told you that the murderer was your oldest child? Would you want mercy or justice for the perpetrator? 3.) What if I told you that you are...

In most every conversation I have ever had with someone that believes in evolution (which is a form of atheism in my opinion) the position as to how life actually started is usually dismissed in some way or obfuscated outright. The 'faith' that an evolutionist has to have is that in order for...

Dear friends, here is an absolutely wonderful video that details the time we are living in, the deception that is being foisted upon us, what we can expect to come, and how we are 'personally' effected by this attack by Satan. In this Lecture, Professor Veith unveils how the Jesuits started and...

Here are a couple of great videos that will help you see what Christianity has accepted and where Christianity is headed. I pray you'll find these videos a blessing and aid in your understanding of the future of Christianity. God bless. http://www.3angelstube.com/video/241/Th ... ality-Pt-1...

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matt. 5: 6. Would that you could conceive of the rich supplies of grace and power awaiting your demand. Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled. We must exercise greater faith in...

On another forum I am in a discussion with a staunch preterist that doesn't seem inclined or willing and able to answer my questions regarding the prophecies of the book of Daniel and how those prophecies were fulfilled in 70AD. For example, in Daniel 7 we are told that: Dan 7:23 ¶ Thus he...

The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 6: 23. Man was originally endowed with noble powers and a well-balanced mind. He was perfect in his being, and in harmony with God. His thoughts were pure, his aims holy. But through...

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Phil. 3: 7. Moses renounced a prospective kingdom, Paul the advantages of wealth and honor among his people, for a life of burden bearing in God's service. To many the life of these men appears one of renunciation and sacrifice...

Surprised out of his self-possession, he answered Christ in words full of irony, "How can a man be born when he is old?" Like many others when cutting truth is brought home to the conscience, he revealed the fact that the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God. There is in him...

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Mal. 3: 3. Here is the process, the refining, purifying process, to be carried on by the Lord of hosts...

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. Eccl. 9:10. {AG 310.1} Nothing will so arouse a self-sacrificing zeal and broaden and strengthen the character as to engage in work for others. . . . None need wait until called to some distant field before beginning to help others...

That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thess. 1:12. {AG 307.1} Many are longing to grow in grace; they pray over the matter, and are surprised that their prayers are not answered. The...

He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. Luke 11: 23. How is our light to shine forth to the world unless it be by our consistent Christian life? How is the world to know that we belong to Christ, if we do nothing for Him? . . . There is no neutral...

Neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. Acts 20: 24. Your spiritual strength and growth in grace will be proportionate to the labor of love and...

Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Rev. 22:12. Our work here is soon to close, and every man will receive his reward according to his own labor. I was shown the saints' reward, the immortal inheritance, and saw that those who...

First, an Empty Heart Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mark 12: 30, 31. On these two...
