What was the actual month that Jesus Christ was born?
I heard rumor, or maybe a quote from the Bible, but Jesus Christ’s birth date was not Dec 25th, but he was born in July. Is this true, and if it is, was it the 25th?
I know of bars that have an event the last week of July and on the 25th it is called, "Christmas in July" celebration. I was there for it in a bar where they celebrated as if it were Christmas Day (Dec 25 @ the longest bar in the world known as the Beer Barrel Saloon On Put in Bay Ohio.
What happens to people who die without ever hearing about Jesus?
I am a Christian, and I know that in order to get into heaven, we must put our trust in Jesus Christ. But what happens to the people who have never or never did believe in Jesus? Do they go to hell? Or do they just die? But if they just die, where would their souls go to? Please help.
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, can we start to live like this, PLEASE?
You Received Jesus, Then Receive Your Brother
By Keith Butler
"Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs" (Rom. 14:1-2).
Anytime someone has made the decision to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, we are to receive them – period. I don’t care if they are of a different color, race, background, or religion. He tells us to receive them because God have received them.
Satan has done everything he can to divide the Body of Christ. To a certain extent, he has succeeded in dividing us along racial lines, class lines, and theological lines. He wants to keep us fighting about religion, beliefs, and doctrine. He wants to keep us at arms length from each other so that we can’t have the fullness of God on the earth.
But notice what Paul says in Romans 14:1, "He that is weak in the faith receive ye." He’s telling you to receive those who may not be as spiritually mature as you are, and they may not know as much as you know, but they are believers.
Now, in Romans, the whole chapter 14 talks about receiving people who have doctrinal differences. To illustrate the point, Paul uses the issue about meat offered to idols.
Back in biblical times, people worshipped many idols. Well, some of the finest restaurants would take the meat, offer it to their idols, and then serve the meat in the restaurant. Some Christians felt that it was a sin to eat meat offered to idols, but Paul had no problem eating it. He said that he sanctifies it by the word in prayer, and it is good.
However, Paul tells us to receive those who are weak in faith. Unfortunately, the church today still does not recognized the need to stand as one. We’re too busy worrying about whose different: the Baptist believes one thing and the Presbyterian believes another, and The Church of God in Christ believes one way and the Assemblies of God believes another way. Word of Faith believes this and somebody else believes that.
Of course, we may have things we don’t agree on, but there is one thing we all share: we believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. Now that doesn’t mean you have to change what you believe in the Word of God, but it does mean that we don’t have to allow Satan to divide us. Surely, we have all received Jesus, then that’s enough for us to receive each other.

Some of the Diciples of Christ were killed for their belief and their ministry?
These men were eye witnesses to the miracles he did, the message he preached, his death on the cross, and his Resurrection. They surely knew whether any of this was fake. They believed it to be true and believed so fervently that they gave up their lives for the Gospel. Would you not take the word of an eye witness that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?
Seems there are some questions the atheists choose to avoid answering.
Why do Christians think we don't need the ministries of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors & teachers?
Anymore?
It is written in Ephesians4 that Jesus gave these ministries to some for… The perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministries, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come in the unity of the faith, & of the knowledge of he Son of God unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.
This hasn’t been fulfilled yet. So? The Church still needs each of these offices in operation.
CatholicCrusader? I was asking about the ministries of the 5 fold ministries.
Deacons, Priests & Bishops are ministries. In the Order of the Church & then there is a leader of the individual Church who be the ministry of Pastor. So? These 3 are under the Pastor in the Church. And Jesus Christ is our High Priest after the order of Melchezedek. In Revelation, Jesus Christ who has loved us & washed us from our sins in his own lood, & has made us kings & priests unto God & His Father. To Him be glory & dominion forever & ever. Amen.
pappy, We haven’t come into the unity of faith yet. See the denominational divisions. See there are still peoples who have never heard the Gospel. See that many Christians are babies & many need to mature in Christ. See there are many who aren’t yet Christians. In the Churches, we have the Word of God but also a few tares here & there. With the tares comes divisions. Divisions aren’t unity.
How were people who died before Jesus' sacrifice given the opportunity to accept the sacrifice?
I understand that when Jesus Christ was made a sacrifice it was for people of all ages in time. How exactly did those who already died before the sacrifice be given the opportunity to accept his sacrifice? Please provide bible verses if you are able to.
Thank you.

"Overcomers in Christ"… anyone ever a part of this ministry?
One of the best ministries for those who battle with addictions.
Any kind of addiction, not just drugs and booze.
It’s the mind set that needs to be set free!
Great ministry look into it, and if you are an overcomer already it’s great to sit and just soak it in, God will use you to help someone else<><
Our Overcomers Groups meet regularly to share the comfort and hope found in Jesus Christ. Ongoing groups provide support and accountability. The fellowship and a safe place to share feelings draw people like a magnet. O.I.C. aptly describes what occurs.
As participants discover the practical simplicity of Christ-centered living, they often say, "Oh, I see!" (O.I.C.). These groups provide a superb opportunity for winning people to Christ and discipling them. God uses these recovered lives to revitalize and strengthen His church as they reach out to others.
