The problem of having to consider about the supernatural is this. No matter how you slice and dice the universe, no matter how minutely you subdivide its components, the reason for itself must lie outside of itself. Regardless of how we subdivide down to atominc and sub aromic and quantum...

My experience is that with patience one proves by testing. One proves (to an adaquate degree) that passing through successive learning situations - certainty is developed. Perhaps you know the man who you call your father. Perhaps you know the man whom you called "Dad." I hope he is...

I am not sure what you mean. But any MIND is of a life and a person. Are you proporting a person-LESS great Mind? That makes no sense to me, having no living being yet the Mind of one. I would rather think such a Mind was that of a Person albeit Someone bigger than you and I -...

The Bible tells us that the universe was created because of the will of God. This does not merely mean the will power of God. It means the intention, plan, and purpose of God. Let's get all convinced. Revelation 4:11 - You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and...

I am aware philosophies of Pantheism and Panentheism. For a season I studied also Zen Buddhism. The Oversoul and concepts of Nirvana are not unfamilar to me. I think I will remain perhaps discouragingly simple about this. If a man really wants to understand the universe he must study the...

Before we speak to other matters beside peace I want not in the least to UNDERESTIMATE peace. I do not want to sweep aside peace as superficial, insignificant, and flimsy. So not so fast on "graduating" from peace. Do no turn your nose up at peace for this is peace such as the world...

Christ is all about changing us from the inside to be like Him. Christ is into transforming men and women into His image by degress, successuvely, gradually, slowy, drop by drop, day by day. The destiny is that He makes us sons of God. This brings joy and peace. This brings liberation and...

The first sense in coming to Christ is probably the sense of peace towards God. The night I called "Lord Jesus, take me home. I'm tired Jesus. Take me" I felt like a flushed toilet. I mean crud, filth, dirt, and stench which had accumated in my heart, memory and conscience suddenly FLUSHED...

Do you speak from experience or are you just talking stuff that sounds good?

bbyrd009 comment is more about the DEPTH of one knowing Christ. Of course there are levels of experience from newly saved to more mature to more mature still. I think bbyrd009 is jumping the gun prematurely into "How deeply is one benefitting from knowing Christ and His work." I think we...

In the same Romans chapter 6 Paul says this experience is a matter of GROWTH. In verse 3 he speaks of being baptized into His death. In verse 5 Paul indicates that this is an experience one GROWS into. For if we have grown together with Him in the likeness of His death, indeed we will also...

As you can see readers this is a discussion not about the second coming of Christ (at least not primarily). It is about the ability and assurance of knowing the Lord Jesus (or not) TODAY and for the last nearly two thousand years.

This thread is not really about the second coming of Chirist. This thread is about can we know Christ today.

There is an important third requirement to having intimate communion with Jesus Christ. That is that the barrier between us and God must be removed. There is a barrier, an obstacle which makes fellowship with God unattainable. This barrier has to be dealt with and removed. When I ask people who...

Knowing Jesus is predicated on two important things. 1.) He is alive. If Jesus is dead and gone the Good News is in vain. We can forget all about the Gospel if Christ is not risen from the dead. 2.) We have to use a part of our being which we never used before - our spirit. For we can...
