    How old is our creation really?

    God created time. Whenever He started creating, evening, morning one day ... there was a beginning ... to time. Here's the point. The earth was created with a semblance of age. He created full grown plants, animals, humans, not seeds and embryos flopping around on the ground. In other words, if...

    Help me. I am looking for a church that does not forsake the gathering of people together as is the habit of some, and will not be ruled by the teachings and precepts of men regardless of what is going on. By gosh, I love truth and live by truth point me in the right direction so I can...

    Mormons think so, Jehovah's Witnesses think so, Christian Science people think so, Roman Catholics think so ... the many that will say to Jesus, Lord, Lord, did we not ... think so. 100% trustworthy and safe is something a lot of people agree on.

    Considering Jesus said that "few" of those that believe He is their Lord, God and Savior will be saved, and He referred to the "Narrow" path using the word, "To groan to squeeze through", the 90% number is probably quite generous to the point of ostentatiousness. Many believe Jesus was referring...

    Ongoing practice of habitual sin, once we know truth always results in: Co 11:28 But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. 30 For...

    Carnality = Being deceived, not knowing the truth, not having the truth revealed yet, ergo bot obeying truth due to a lack of knowledge, BUT NOT A LACK OF DESIRE OR PERSONAL EFFORT to get to truth. Once the Corintihians heard, they repented and altered their lives. Ongoing practice of habitual...

    . Ultimately, I agree. God seeks all men, Rom. 1:18-32. Men respond to His truth. Apart from His seeking us first, as He explains in Rom. 1:18-32, no man would ever have the opportunity to be saved. As it says in that Romans passage, the non-religious lost suppress, reject, exchange the truth...

    Understand that yes, these fleshly/carnal Christians do exist. But they are actively seeking to figure out truth that was not available to them at this time. 1st Corinthians is probably the second oldest letter/epistle ever written, and the first is not in the bible, i.e. Paul's first letter to...

    yet every "belief group" on the planet does it for all of their "unquestionably true" core beliefs. Problem, while every belief group recognizes this in others, no belief group recognizes it within their own group.

    My point exactly. Every one of us "can" be deceived if we are not continuously doing as God commands and avoiding what every belief group on the planet does to prove their beliefs are truth, and to hold fast to those beliefs. A failure to keep on habitually doing as He commands, and instead...

    Every group gets the validation they seek, those in Mat. 7 get all the spiritual gifts exactly like the true Christians of their day had. No difference.

    Those who are perishing do not love truth. They love what they want to believe as truth, adn refuse to even consider anything else. But they did not start there. They started in Rom. 1:18-32, possibly progressed to Rom. 10:1-3, and some of those who are lost even get to the point where they...

    Getting to the truth, or proving our beliefs true and holding fast to them applies as much to gifts as it does to being a democrat, republican, or what the best type of underwear is. If we want to hold fast to our beliefs, gifts, ... our political party, we 1.) Gather everything we can "use"...

    That does pretty much sum it up, ... but from what I understand you were implying people exist who can't find truth that truly want it no matter what beliefs they might have to change ... that ... contradicts scripture. But there was judgment based on conscience/the heart prior to the law...
