Christians never refer to Christianity as a "religion:, but if they do it is in this manner:  Non Christians today make use of the word "religion"  talked about as a bad word, in reference to Christianity. But in truth if it's referred to rightly in reference to Christianity, people will see they held to a gross misunderstanding and misrepresentation of Christianity. People speak on things they truly know not about.  James spoke of the actions of the true believer, but all the religions outside Christianity...they teach the false doctrines of men that decieve and damn, which is in total contrast to what God has told us in Scripture that mankind is to do and uphold, which is rightly done  among those born again. James tells us in Scripture, by the Holy Spirit: "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this- to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." James 1:27 Christianity is the o...

What about intersexed?    Ok 🤷‍♀️, what about them. We are in a fallen world where corruption entered Creation and genetic malfunctions happen....  which is why some are born without arms,  legs, or only a torso, others are merged into one body, others are albino, blind, deaf, or have a mental retardation or other mental or physical issues.  Of 333 million Americans, very few (around 0.018% of the population) in USA are born intersexed. Humans rarely might be born with a genetic mutation, a genetic error, where they have both a penis and vagina, but it is not the norm - of the original design - and is not a reason to gravitate towards an idea of gender fluidity . Its simply a mistake in the genetics . Today a person can dna test and see if the intersexed is really xx or xy, and live as such . That person is either male or female, and can get surgery to remove the "extra piece" that isnt who they are biologically .  People with ...

Gender discussion and resources Each person mentioned in Scripture related to humans *in the womb, (alive or prophecy in advance) *pregnant with, (fortold, prophecy) *naming the child prior, (predetermined, revelation) *knowing us before God created us, (before Creation) *living and spoken about (as children, adults or elderly) etc are very clearly specific about the gender.  God made male and female. These people were called he/him and she/her and nothing else.  God created and determined our gender.  Not a single person in the Bible ever changed their gender . It was determined by God even before they were created. We are what we are birthed as.  *Biologically Men have a penis and women a vagina. And biology shows this true that humans are designed as either xx or xy chromosome only.  Same with transgender. They are either switching from male to female or female to male. Showing in itself theres only 2 genders.  Its all gender disphoria. S...

Where does Morals and values come from? Are moral truths a matter of opinion ? Is there an objective moral law ?  Morality and feelings  Is murder wrong?  Objective moral truths are best explained by God's existence  pt1 .  Pt2 .  What are some morals in the world that go against the conscience, but follow a human made code?  Gang moral codes   Deep African tribe moral codes:  In the 80s there was a documentary about canibals. The canibal tribes admitted they know murdering people is wrong, but.... to feel better about it, they only murder and eat people in other tribes, not their own. Pagans who worshipped Molech in old times  had morals and values that said it was important to sacrifice babies; to burn babies to death by putting them into hot iron idol statues arms. And they banged drums and maid noise so you couldnt hear the baby's screaming death cries.   Creating a moral standard thats outside what God has revealed in the...

Q: Does the Constitution keep religion away?  A: Christians did not need to specifically say those words, but everything in the Constitution is based on the faith Christianity, and our laws. Freedom and liberty are found in Christ and because of Him this country exists.  Watch this  Fun facts  Funny how people purposely skip the Bill of Rights and also disregard the Christian foundations of America,  the Founders and the faith of the people from 1500-1776 in USA.

Topic: Blindness What Scripture says about Spiritual Blindness John 14:17-20 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 1 Corinthians 2:14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.” Matthew 15:14 so ignore them. T...

Religion declining ?? Truth is in decline, but "religion" isnt.  Atheism is a religion, whether you believe it or not. Top atheists state that it is a belief.  So religion isnt in decline, its critical thinking and common sense (and taking the time to actually investigate evidences) that's in decline.   Atheists generally say "religion" when they actually mean "Christianity".  7 million Muslims worldwide converted to Christianity between 1995 and 2015. Every year 30k to 50,000 muslims convert to Christianity in the middle east region. About 20,000 Muslims convert to Christianity each year in the United States, and roughly the same number in UK. Likely about the same in EU as well. Plus people from China, India and Asia come to the West or meeting missionaries in their home countries are becoming Christian.  Just because you dont see the results or statistics doesnt mean religion is dying. You're not God you dont know and see all.  And since we ...

How can God become human?    Q: The true God is all-knowing and all powerful, he can't just make mistakes, so how can He become a baby and simply die by his own creations just to forgive our sins? Is it logical?  It appears to defies understanding and natural inclination of every human being. - Muslim A : YHWH is the Creator, who knew everything about mankind's existence before GOD (the Trinity) even created the world. He knew man would sin, that he would send the Messiah, that the Word would be made flesh and be known on earth as Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, the Savior. That this Word would be titled the King of Kings and Lord of Lord's, and Son of Man and Son of God.  For specific reasons. And that the Father would give all the redeemed to Jesus because He bought and paid for them all. GOD knew that he loved His creation, and had a plan in place that would start in eden and end In eternity future. He already has things planned for believers in eternity....that'...

Agnostic seeker open to supernatural Q: I’m not an atheist, I am an agnostic. As a scientist, I can’t rule it out evidence for a Creator. The typical arguments used by believers do not seem to provide evidence, and the few i have talked with, dont seem to give good answers." A: as an agnostic who seeks knowledge i hope you also seek the truth when seeking knowledge and If you are open to supernatural, as you stated, then you actually can look at the evidences based on what non Christians and Christians have (and have concluded). And if you investigate the evidences you will come to the conclusions that God exists and Jesus is the Savior. Its the logical conclusion. I do agree that some evidentiary responses of many believers is lacking , but it is because they understand their belief by reason and do but dont realize they have evidence from in Scripture and externally that they learn about in Sunday School (preschool thru adulthood). Its in their heart and mind because they t...

More great news about attending Church regularly for yourself & your children   A 2018 Harvard study examined how being raised in a family with religious beliefs affects mental health. Those who attended a religious service at least 1x per week scored higher on psychological well-being measurements and had lower risks of mental illness. Weekly attendance was also associated with higher rates of volunteerism, lower probabilities of both drug use and sexual immorality, and a sense of purpose. Christianity encourages gratitude and empathy as antidotes to entitlement and selfishness. These are the building blocks of strong character. Faith also protects against depression and anxiety. Being with people who share your faith can also act as a buffer against the emptiness and isolation of modern culture.  Faith mindfulness, a sense of self-control, and discipline. And when you enter the sanctuary you mind your manners and have a sense of calm. You relax your bodies and calm your ...

Disease, Cancer, Suffering or death ....  Whether its a child or an adult, its sad and a known problem in this sin stained fallen world; it's is why we struggle in a fallen creation with suffering and pain. God made everything perfect and good....but, theres corruption now, suffering and pain in this world due to Adams fall. Suffering, pain, and death entered. But God went to great lengths to redeem us from that, thru the life death and resurrection of Jesus. The promise was fulfilled, and redemption is available. Were still stuck in this sin stained world and body, but eternity will be a place sin cannot enter, sadness, suffering, pain and death will not be there. Only peace, Joy and paradise with Jesus. But even tho mankind sinned in Eden bringing this disaster to us all, and corruption entered the entire world as well... There is hope because God made a way to fix it. He went to great lengths [& at great cost to himself] to restore our broken relationship with him, and redee...

The Right Books in the Bible  From Apostles era, Christian churches prior to catholicism (and in All Other Regions not controlled by that false religion from then till reformation & now) had a copy of the books of the Bible. Those churches did have a copy and preached and taught from it just like the Jewish scroll book the Jews had.  The Bible at the council (typically mentioned)  simply confirmed which books were Scripture, which were not Scripture. There was a clear and easy way to know. They simply gave recognition to something that was already authoritative.  We had the full revelation from God, or "canon" or Bible when John wrote his last book. It was put together as one copy later. But it doesnt mean churches didnt have copies of Scripture in whole or the majority of NT books. (John's students, who led churches, wrote to the other churches and in those also contained huge chunks of Scripture [which he studied from Apostles writings]).  The churches ...

Heaven & Eternity discussed 1 Corinthians 2:9  But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him 2 Peter 3:13  But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Isaiah 65:17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. Romans 8:21  That the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Revelation 21:1  Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more Revelation 4:6-10 and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal Revelation 22:1-5  Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb... And night wil...

FAQ -  Bible Difficulty - resolved  How was there light before God created the Sun? How will there be light in eternity? How does God reveal? At Creation  A: God is light. His glory radiates. God did create light also, and then the Sun, for Creation  Genesis 1: Day1- Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light....and God separated the light from the darkness.5 And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning. Day 1  Day4:  Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;   and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so.   So God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night, and also the stars.  And God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to g...

What does truth have to do with error, or light with darkness. There is no compatability. If were talking false teaching, false Christian religion and cults then thats a diff topic from "Christian denominations". Introductory comment Denominationalism doesnt mean disunity in Christianity, is still united. Christians [aka "Protestants"] agree on the vital essentials    essentials   or core beliefs of what biblical Christianity is. Secondary issues are a matter of what a person currently understands as they "grow" in the knowledge of Scripture, as they personally study it their whole life. The denom name simply shows what secondary things they believe, seen in their faith statement. Some stay in a denom instead of " moving on" (to another more closer aligned to what they understand as they mature in the Word), mostly cuz they dont even realize other denoms believe whatever the growing believer " now " matured to believe. If they did, t...

Copycat Jesus? Or Copycat myths?  Jesus, person of interest   👈👈 Go through this using common sense. But also think about it.  🌟Heres the thing🤔... you can look at all those old religious people and then Jesus.... but miss the very obvious in the face fact 🙃- Jesus was predicted and talked about in Scripture since Eden. So technically everything about the Messiah... has been known from Adam to Moses and beyond. Those other religions... simply copied Jesus. 🤷‍♀️ Christianity began in the garden of Eden. When God created the world. God was known to Adam and Eve. Who did they talk to? The Word. The eternal God.... who later in history put on human flesh and was called Jesus.  Get the video, the book  &  Other books and videos To investigate more deeply.  Unlike the pagan mythologies that share common, broad characteristics with Jesus, the ancient Jewish religious figures share attributes that are much more distinct and specific. Scholars d...

World religions have the wrong Jesus  Why's that? They dont get their info about Jesus from the source- the religion of Jesus followers is Christianity .  Why do other religions embrace Jesus? 🤔>There must be something historically and truthfully special about him.  What people in the world have an idea about Jesus from non Christian sources: Did you know? other religions embraces Jesus, slapped something about him onto their religion.... but notice dont embrace Him and follow Him 🙃 based on the religion that is literally about Him (Christianity). Funny that 🤔. Theres a reason. A: They'd have to abandon their false religion, to embrace the true Jesus.  Why arent the people of those religions embracing the Jesus  of His people ? I mean if Hes so important... you would follow Him and embrace what has been taught about Him from His people - historical Christianity.  The reason is 🤔 they'd have to admit they were duped. Theyd have to walk awa...

Other world religions  First before diving into this, you have to have a basic understanding, a right perspective  on this before continuing. Now,  Other religions before Jesus arrived in the NT, and religions after Jesus went back to Heaven, all want a piece of Jesus 🤔, isnt that interesting.   Also what  they don't tell you, and most fail to realize is...You have to get your information about Him from the source of the religion of Jesus - Christianity; and that would be the Bible.  It's basic common sense 🤷‍♀️. No other religion in the world picks and chooses things it will believe about that religion, or that religious leader. You have to get your information about the one being worshiped or followed, from the religion of those people. You cannot just make stuff up or pick and choose what you like. That's crazy.

Whats the oldest belief?   Christianity or world religions?   the term Christianity or Christian, confuses non believers when it comes to dating the religion.   But an easy clarification & revelation  puts it right.... > God created all things. We are told Jesus is God, He is the Word, the 2nd person of the trinity, and was there - the trinity was there at Creation, creating. At the beginning ....In Genesis Adam & Eve knew God. God walked among them and interacted with them. They sinned & were then spiritually separated from God. God said then, He is sending a Messiah (a Savior) to redeem us from sin and make us right with Him again (giving Spiritual life).  One's faith was in that Messiah   through the entire history timeline   of the old testament. So from Creation of man thru OT ( follow me here... .) thru when the Messiah arrived  -  surprise ... its Jesus the Messiah. The Christ. Explained her...
