Hi Bob,
Your posts do not give the impression that you are only criticizing English translations of the Bible. You said, "man re-wrote the Bible" (and from what I could gather, sometime around 390 AD). I suppose you have the correct copy for refere…
Bob,
What are you doing on a Christian networking site called "Faith Space?" You are not ignorant. You know what our faith is in. What exactly do you have faith in? Apparently, from what I can tell, it is science. Christians here could not care les…
Hi Leroy,
It sure has been a long time. I miss our conversations.
Not to get too specific right away... I think this is certainly possible. I wouldn't say that a person can be born gay or lesbian, but I think a person might be born with certain te…
I"ve always thought the donkey rebuking Balim - or is it Balak - was funny. Maybe it's just the way my mind works but I get pictures of the donkey talking in todays street language - which I know very little of by the way- and saying " Yo dude what'…
Some folks don't read very well. The gospel of the kingdom is (1 Cor. 15:1-4) How that the Messiah died for our sins ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES, and that he was buried and rose again the third day ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES.

1.) Never before had God made a being on which to give His mercy. The angels don't even understand this. (Heb 1:14, 2:5, 1Pet 1:12). This mystery (Eph 3:6, 5:32) deepened when the humans which he chose for Himself rejected Him. God is just and must…
In Re Q.#1) As defined in the Bible in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 - HOW the Messiah died according to the scriptures; and that he was buried and rose again, according to the scriptures:...

I have lived in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/ St. Paul MN) pretty much all of my life. The Lord graciously saved me when I was about 4 years old. I still remember the day it happened. Since then I have always understood (As John Newton said), "I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior," and have never sought salvation in any other. He is my all in all, and without him my life is meaningless and miserable.
I have also been blessed to be a worship leader at my church (www.ipawc.org) for the last two years or so on a volunteer basis. I love worship, the Bible, theology, and sharing Christ with the lost.
Books that God has used to bless my spirit recently that I would encourage others to read would be:
Martin Luther, "The Bondage of the Will" (De Servo Arbitrio).
Ray Comfort, "The Way of the Master" (once called "The Golden Key to Revival" and related to his epic prophetic message, "Hell's Best Kept Secret")
Wayne Grudem, "Systematic Theology," and "The Gift of Prophecy."
John Piper, "Desiring God" (which I believe is destined to become a classic of Christian Literature), and "Future Grace."
Sam Storms, "Convergence," and "The Beginner's Guide to Spiritual Gifts."
And, of course... THE BIBLE! ...just in case you forgot that one ;)
Websites that I would encourage others to visit would be:
Hello Jonathan,
I hope you also will remain open to Him, ;-)
1Tim 2:1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
Hi Jonathan,

Hello Jonathan. I am honored to have you as a friend. Friends are a true blessing. I also believe the quote you have from John Newton fits myself as well. We all fall short but Gods love for us is the best weapon we could ever have against evil. God Bless you and again thankyou for being my friend.
