Re: Keys to Peace of Mind ?

Question - Is this text, in your opinion, a good text toward having that peace of mind that scripture says is beyond all understandings ?

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

This is a thread to discuss Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries . In particular, I would like discussion on... 1. How can a culture become so "comfortable" with the amount of deaths and injuries by auto accidents? Perhaps because the perceived benefits are worth the risk ? 2. Why do mil...

Re: End Time Vision of the Body of Christ

So what is it that you want from people here with regard to this vision ? I have read and discussed visions, some in my family, they have had and NDEs too. Could you share what your expectations are in your thread ? Also it seems to end in a dangling sentence, no period. Is there more ?

Re: Consulate Building Bombed in Syria

I pray this conflict does not spread further. Amen but if it does - Matthew 24:3 - As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” In answering this q...

Re: Christians and Trans

This thread is for discussing how we, as Christians who believe in creation as male and female, should relate to trans issues in the surrounding culture. Please do not debate whether the Bible teaches that - start a new thread if you want to do that. Please do not attack people, neither MN particip...

Re: Calling people evil or demonic

A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. Do others here see this differently ? So if a person (current president) is producing and promoting evil t...

Re: Calling people evil or demonic

Sin is sin- is one sin worse than another? All sins are not equal, despite what Reformed doctrine or Luther may have taught. This is a key difference in Anabaptism. It should be obvious that going on a preplanned killing spree is worse than thinking mean thought to someone for a few seconds. Or get...

Re: Keys to Peace of Mind ?

So if I rejoice in the Lord always; my gentleness is always obvious; never anxious about anything; take everything to God in prayer, then I will experience a peace that goes beyond what I could ever imagine having. This says to me that without the power of the Holy Spirit working in my life (as my o...

Re: Calling people evil or demonic

Your statement: I believe I should not go around speaking evil of someone's actions or beliefs unless I am perfect myself, which only Jesus is. I am to love the sinner but hate the sin wherever sin shows up. That comment is a bit confusing. "Speaking evil" of someone's actions, and saying...

Re: Calling people evil or demonic

boot, Grace clarified her words. In response to her clarification, do you agree some words, actions, policies, such as mutilation of children, esp for carnal goals, and/or efficient extermination of unborn human life, as gov policies, promoted+paid with public funds, are evil? Good question. I know...
