I think this is a great question which reveals where our affections lie and if they are genuine. A born again believer wants Christ in all his majesty. Not just fire insurance!
@faithwillsaveu
A. We must have the Word of God for faith and practice. Otherwise man will devise his own ways.
However, the man with the Bible had better start evangelizing and start a church!
We are not meant for isolation.
@faithwillsaveu
💯 A. Yes!
Him, like all Christians, immediately enter the presence of The Lord when separated from the body
2 Corinthians 5:8
we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
@faithwillsaveu
No. SMH 🤦♂️ with people that idolize it.
There are many great translations. It’s not all about $$$ and rebranding different versions.
Some KJO will try to “correct” the original texts. I know that’s extreme, my experience just hasn’t been that great with KJO folks 🫤
At least
@farmingandJesus
I might be in the minority here. I don’t think there is biblical grounds for divorce. Which is adultery and death.
BUT if the unbelieving spouse wants to leave, then you can let them leave.
I would press very strongly in evangelism and biblical counsel. It would either
@faithwillsaveu
💯 I hang all my belief on this inerrant and infallible Word!
Psalm 19:7
The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
@jk94643038
I think what they hear is, “I can live however I want and still be saved”.
Though that might be so, a true believer will pursue obedience, not licentiousness.
People like that I believe fall into the error of trusting in their own perseverance
@faithwillsaveu
Sure do!! This only scratches the surface.
Matthew 25:31
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne."

Acts 4:12
“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”
@Pastor_Gabe
I grew up with universalist and Arminian influences for 20+ years. The second I heard one sermon with Calvinist influence EVERYTHING clicked and I can’t get enough of the sovereignty of God!
@faithwillsaveu
That’s very talented! Who’s going to take the time to unattached that anyways 😅
But absolutely. It’s who I am. I can’t pretend to be someone else at work!
@faithwillsaveu
Sums it up for me…
Galatians 1:10:
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
@faithwillsaveu
💯🙌Yes, He is God! And the firstborn from the dead. All who believe will one day join Him!
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
@faithwillsaveu
💯 the precious blood of Christ shed for me!✝️🩸
You can’t take anything with you when you go, but as Christians we have an imperishable inheritance in heaven!
@faithwillsaveu
No.
You’re likely referring to Old Testament laws for Gods people. However there is no biblical mandate for continuing to adhere to such civil or ritualistic laws.
Today, we are under the law of Grace, and obey the moral law (like the Ten Commandments) from a loving and

But I do collect thoughts and verses in notes on my phone. That way I can easily reference with search function!

A few verses which may be helpful reference for folks!

"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."
Matthew 19:4-6
"Jesus answered, 'Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator 'made
@faithwillsaveu
As I wrestled with the thought, it became clearer. It’s a good work.
Burning an enemy flag
Igniting an idol
Reminds me of Gideon tearing down the idol
That does not mean we do not pray for and show kindness towards those under the idol
But we obey God rather than man
@cjohnsonn0311
You literally have to give so much weight to and truly believe there is something efficacious about a statue.
It’s superstition to the extreme

In regards to the question of Rahab of Jericho being saved… I say yes! What do you think?
Supported by:
Matthew 1:5 - she is in the lineage of our savior
James 2:25 - she is called justified
Hebrews 11:31 - she had faith (this one helps to read all of chapter 11 for context!)
@cjohnsonn0311
There is hardly any men like this man. So humble, yet bold and piercing.
I strive to be like this man. Every time I hear him though i see such a massive amount of work still to be done in me😅
@LavenderKiss7
Why pray if God already knows what He is going to do?
I would emphasize a few key points.
Firstly, prayer is not about informing God of our needs or desires, as He is omniscient and already knows everything. Instead, prayer is a means by which we communicate with God, express

🙌 YES! ✝️ your image made me think of this post on marriage supper of The Lamb.
I hope you don’t mind me sharing it here for folks who might appreciate the topic expanded!
**The Marriage Supper of the Lamb**
A Celebration of Love and Unity
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb is a symbolic representation of the joyful, intimate, and eternal fellowship that takes place between Jesus Christ (the Lamb of God) and his bride (the Church). This event,

⭐️⭐️ God Is Light ⭐️⭐️
1 John 1:5
5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
He cannot cease to be good. It is a divine attribute
@DrFrankTurek
This is pretty tricky…
My first thought was, I’m already satisfied by what the Word says…
Then I thought, anything I can think of I might not care about by the time I meet Him 😅
But perhaps… why He chose me?
@farmingandJesus
It’s pretty unnerving how much movement this prophecy stuff receives.
Also, people need to stop applying every prophecy to America 🤦♂️

Satan thwarted by Christ
Biblical doctrine page 685
Satan has the power of death, but Christ has rendered him powerless for believers in Christ (Heb. 2:14).
Satan has the power of deceit (2 Cor. 11:3, 14-15), but Christ has exposed him (2 Cor. 2:11) and destroyed the effect of

Tbh watching my wife be SAHM and absolutely winning at it is quite an extraordinary experience.
I never would’ve thought I’d have a wife of such caliber let alone managing the family to the degree that she does!

@faithwillsaveu
Defy the government and preach the gospel. They can respond how they feel necessary.
Ive counted the cost.
Acts 5:29
But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.”
😂😂😂 this is great. But on a serious note… there is actually more peace knowing that God will empower us to endure hard times.
The theology of “God wants to give you everything you want” crumbles whenever adversity presents itself
The scriptures that talk about the one-for-all sacrifice of Jesus Christ include:
1. Hebrews 9:28:
"So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him."
2.
I had a friend in college who would always say, “Things aren’t always so black and white”.
Friends, I’m here to tell you that reading my bible over time has revealed things to be blacker and whiter than I ever could have imagined.
@faithwillsaveu
The Bible provides several passages that can be interpreted as advising against swearing or using profane language. Here are some key verses to consider:
1. Ephesians 4:29 - "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up

😳Joining X has made this abundantly clear for me. I thought it was just some misunderstandings about justification…. But the gross idolatry and other practices are mind boggling 🤯
@Protestia
Though I’ve never seen possession, I believe it could exist…
But it doesn’t look like this…
It would be done by the Word of God and the spirit indwelling the person and evicting the demon!
@faithwillsaveu
Left. Some brief supporting scriptures. Obviously, a deeper dive can be completed to bolster this. Just wanted to throw some basics here.
These verses teach that salvation is by faith alone, apart from works of the law. Faith in Jesus Christ is what justifies us before God,
@faithwillsaveu
PRIEST✝️🙏
- Jesus' role as a priest allows him to act as an intermediary between God and humanity, offering prayers and blessings on our behalf.
- As our High Priest, Jesus represents us before God, interceding for us and offering the perfect sacrifice for our sins.
- Jesus'
Sin originates from within the man, not from without the man.
Demonic and evil forces might amplify the temptation, but each man is individually culpable.
