Discussion on Humbling Oneself

May 5th, 2016
Dale Agner May 2 at 6:54am I received a question this weekend that I've been thinking about quite bit, even before I received the question... ..."Hello, The bible tells us to humble ourselves. Also, that God gives grace to the humble (not the other way around-that God humbles those who he has given grace). We know we can do nothing (even have faith or soften our hearts [without God's help]) so how can we humble ourselves?" Like Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry Comment Seen . . .

Question: Does God have infinite attributes? Answered by: Eric Ellis, who has been a volunteer with us since November, 2013. Answer: Hi, and thanks for your thoughtful question. In light of the biblical fact that God Himself is infinite and eternal, all of His attributes would be infinite and eternal as well. Here are a couple of passages that affirm this: Isaiah 57:15 ~ For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite . . .

Help with a Q on Israel as God’s wife

Ed Chait April 18 at 2:40am I just received this question and could use some help with it. After reading several commentaries, there are different and convoluted bunny holes for answers. Read allegorically, the answer becomes much simpler. "In Jeremiah 3:8 why did God say, "I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce"? Like Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry Comment Seen . . .

Discussion on Cessationism

April 24th, 2016
Tim White April 19 at 10:41am My cessation views, and other people's, I think. My goal here in addressing my cessationist views, and those of my closest associates through the years, it to be honest about what I believe and debunk some misconceptions others may have when they hear or read us say that signs and wonders have ceased. I will attempt to insert some tension-reducing humor and enough self-deprivation to mask my arrogance in this topic. (I warned you). I believe in miracles. I believe in healings. . . .

Discussion on Church Discipline

April 14th, 2016
Jonathan Morales April 12 at 4:34pm Greetings my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ! Those who sin should be reprimanded in front of the whole church; this will serve as a strong warning to others. (1 Timothy 5:20) Paul is talking specifically about the elders in the church who persist in sin. How exactly should this correction be done? Does the pastor have to spontaneously rebuke the sinning elder in front of the whole congregation? wouldn't this cause an extreme shock to the congregation and even . . .

Discussion on “messy church”

April 13th, 2016
Dean Revell April 7 at 12:53pm I had a question today from somebody asking about 'Messy church' and whether it was biblical ? I have never heard of it before but looking at one of the web sites it seems to be a means of getting people to get involved in a church setting without actually being in church, so to speak - a springboard for encouraging people who wouldnt normally want to go to church to become exposed to the Truth through personal witness, guest speakers or even being invited to the services ? . . .
