Love for Jesus and for fellow Christians should impel us to become One in Christ again. Christ prayed in John 17 in His High Priestly prayer that all who believed in Him/all Christians would be one in Him, so that through our Unity the World may believe God had sent Him. Unity is important. We...

Trump wins! Great to see. And pro life measures have won in Florida, Nebraska etc. Great night all around. Keep praying and praising and thanking the Lord: "BREAKING: Nebraska passes a measure banning late-term abortions. AP has called the vote." https://x.com/LifeNewsHQ/status/1854047286734520521

Surprising study: "The research also revealed some of the reasons that the Christians are not planning to vote in November, including a lack of interest in politics (68%), a dislike in both major party candidates (57%), and a belief that their vote will not make a difference (52%). A smaller...

https://justthenews.com/nation/religion/millions-christians-may-choose-not-vote-november-study Some thoughts. First, this is why I think Pro-Life Christian Social Conservative Ron DeSantis should have been nominated. He signed a 6 week abortion heartbeat ban in Florida. Trump called that a...

Agreed. The real Biblical rapture is Post-Tribulation. It says so plainly in 1 Thess 4. Just read it. Believers will be caught up (1) only after the saints rise again and (2) the saints rise again on the last day (John 6:40). Therefore, the rapture happens only at the end of time. "13 Brothers...

The Saviour says, you must persevere to the end to be saved. You disagree, and say, if you're justified/saved, you will persevere. You are not teaching what the Lord Jesus Christ did but your own opinion. In Mat 25:31-40, it is evident the sheep persevered in good works of love. Here's Apostle...

Agreed. "But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved." (Mat 24:13). May we all strive to the persevere to the end, and may we actually persevere, by the Grace of God, in our faith in Christ. In Jesus' Name. Amen. The gift of perseverance is to be received through prayer.

Harris-Walz would be an unmitigated disaster. I'm a former DeSantis supporter (would have loved to see a Pro-Life DeSantis/Reynolds 2024 Ticket), but now I'm backing Trump-Vance in 2024. They're not perfect, but far better that it's not even remotely close. Havent read the thread, but hope other...

We are born without grace, and with a fallen sinful nature. But we are not born totally depraved, and we still have free will. When we are baptized, or give our life to the Lord, we pass from death to life and are born again. After that, we re-enter the State of Grace, and have power from God to...

I am not going into whether or not the sacraments play a role in sanctification/justification in depth here. The point is those are not salvation issues. Confessing Jesus Christ as Lord, God, Savior and Son of God, are salvation issues. The rest are secondary: "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus...

Christ offered Salvation to all, even Judas. But only those who accept His offer of Salvation by their own free will in response to His Grace will actually be saved. One can choose to go to Hell by rejecting Grace. Or one can accept Grace and be saved. But if Limited Atonement were true, then...

That's not the issue. If justification by faith is true, and if Romans 10 is true, and it is, then Catholics who confess Jesus is Lord and believe in His Resurrection are saved. Either that, or the Bible is in error, which cannot be. To be precise, it teaches salvation by grace through faith...

Thank God for saving President Trump's Life. I preferred DeSantis over Trump, but I will definitely support Trump over Biden. That Trump chose Pro-Life Conservative JD Vance as VP is also a good sign imo. Let's get him in office, and see what he does.

Jesus Christ died for all. He loves all and wants to save all. He is not willing that any should perish. Limited Atonement is false. "He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world."(1 John 2:2)

Catholicism's Incredible Growth Story, 8 Sep 2016, Philip Jenkins. "It is strange then to realise that this Church – which is already, by far, the largest religious institution on the planet – is in fact enjoying global growth on an unprecedented scale. In 1950, the world’s Catholic population...
