Hello! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Oklahoma Christian University. I am now living in Benbrook, TX for the time being while I search for a job as a newspaper or magazine reporter or editor. I look forward to meeting other Christians!

Hello Monica... we are a little slow in responding since we are so small... of course we all know the minority is the place to be anyway.

Welcome to the forum!

The truth shall set you free.

Hello and greetings, my name is papo. I too am looking for for the truth, in my searching I found a gospel message in the Bible, yes the truth will set you free.

If anyone is interested in is called the new birth, it is where God will re-create a new creation will transform and into the image of his dear son Jesus Christ. This is one of the Gospel message.

I will give you a mystery is from the Gospel.

A MYSTERY.


Matthew 13:11. Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Mark 4:11. but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables;

Luke 8:11. that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this; The seed is the word of God.

Romans 11:25-26. For I would not brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved; as it is written, There shall come out Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

Romans 16:25-27. Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began. But now is made manifest and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith;

I Corinthians 2:6-12. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect; yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought; But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory; Which none of the princes of this world knew; for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

I Corinthians 4:1. Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.


I Corinthians 13:2. And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains and have not charity, I am nothing.

I Corinthians 14:2-5. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man understand him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification and exhortation and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret that the church may receive edifying.

I Corinthians 15:50-57. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,
(Jesus will awake us from our sleep from this world, to prepare us of the wedding. ) but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and all shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 1:9. Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself;

Ephesians 3:1-9. For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward; How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;
(as I wrote afore in few words. Whereby when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ.) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel. Whereof I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unreachable riches of Christ. And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 5:32. This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Ephesians 6:19. And for me that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.

Colossians 1:26-27. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints; To whom God would make known that is the riches of the glory of this mystery, among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

Colossians 2:2. That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ.

Colossians 4:3. Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds;

II Thessalonians 2:7. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

I Timothy 3:9. Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

Revelation 1:20. The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand and the seven golden lamp stands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches; and the seven lamp stands which thou sawest are the seven churches.

Revelation 10:7. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Psalms 25:14. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

Deuteronomy 29:29. The secret things belong unto the Lord our God; but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

I notice that it is not many people want to hear the real truth. You know, when we go to the beach we like the ocean we put our blankets near the ocean, we like to get our feet wet and playing near the shore that as far as we go, we don't like to go in too deep into the ocean. It is like God we like his words that we don't want to go into deep.

But its okay we have to put ourselves slowly into the ocean so that we might not drown. The truth is like the ocean, we like to hear it, but we don't want to go into deep.

A truly great person never puts away the simplicity of a child.

Psalms. 115: 3 But our God is in the heavens; he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Psalms. 135: 6 Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
God bless you a friend papo
