Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Does God love some more than others?: 1 of 23
Does God love some more than others? Simply put, no. Basically it can all be summed up in this passage from the Gospel of John. John 3:16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not pe...

Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Man's relationship to God explored: 2 of 21
THE GODHEAD, THE KNOWLEDGE, AND MANI did this work some time ago. The purpose was to explain our relationship with God and our reason for existence. I did not want to place any commentary to this work, to let the Bible speak for its self. So I used the Amplified Version Bible, and I jumped from Scripture to Scripture, not in ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues He who throws the first stone: 1 of 9

Psalm 53:1 "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. 2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God."Man is not good, Only God is good, We are made good thru His...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Does being black American constitute me as being African American?: 2 of 13
In my opinion, this is a redundant question. What really is the difference? If you believe what the scientists say that all human life started in Africa and you live in America than that would make all of us African American no matter what your color is. (Selah)I was born in 1960 in Philadelphia and came up during the times o... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Was Jesus a human messenger of God?: 5 of 23
Was Jesus a human messenger of God?The answer is Yes, and No. without a doubt, this is a loaded question. And the best way to answer it is through Scripture.1 Corinthians 12:3 says "Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the L...

How many timesHow many times have we tried and failed and yet we are here?How many times have we not tried again? Because of our fear.How many tears will we shed in shame?I'm told, Trust in God, for He will never forget our name.Think of those dreams that are in you're heart.May that hope that you have never depart.For we liv...
