• Jerry O on Why do Christians go to church?

  I go to church for one reason to worship my Lord Jesus. (To thank him for what he did for me and all people) It nice to fellowship with others, but the sabbath was made for man not man made for the sabbath as it is in God word. We should ask for forgiveness befor we pray (As it is said in God Word) Keep in mind that why we go to churchto WORSHIP. Thank Jerry O

• Varghese on You Can’t be Both Pre-Trib and Calvinist

  In Calvinism “Elect” and “Saved” are the same group of people. There will be “Elect” and “Saved” during the Millennium. So Jeff is probably amillennial (i.e. no millennium) which is dogmatic Catholic view. All the Calvinists I have talked with although disagreeing on the exact timing of the arrival if the Bridegroom for His bride do believe that there will be a Millennium. The fact Israel’s Millennium is a type for Believers’ Glorification is based on the Abrahamic covenant & the Book of Galatians, the heart of my faith! Both Israel’s Millennium & Believers’ Glorification are unconditional and stem from the same covenant, namely Abrahamic covenant. Genesis 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Here, God says He will give Israel land from Egypt to Iraq which has not been fulfilled in the past thus has to be in the Millennium. This Covenant is also the foundational to biblical Christianity! Galatians 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. Galatians 3:24-29 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

• Michelle on Why do non-Christians go to church? (postponed)

  Why do non-Christians go to church? Perhaps to try to find answers, test the waters, see if they're missing anything. Some may have originally been raised within a particular religion and only go for major holidays as part of a "tradition". Or, maybe they're trying to find someplace where they can fit in, having tried other churches or denominations and feeling or actually being rejected.
