What does the fish with letters inside mean? Where did it come from and what makes it a Christian symbol?

When a Christian says that they want the ‘abundant life’ what exactly does that mean? It seems to me that over the years the meaning has changed. Please, would you site scripture to help me understand this?

I think a Christian can choose to walk away from God. God would never walk away from us, but can’t we choose to walk away from Him. I don’t think we give up free will once we are born again, do you ?

Re: Rev. 20:1-6. Who are the ones who received authority to judge in Rev. 20:4? And who are the saints who will be priests of God and will rule with Him for the millennium in Rev. 20:6? Are these saints some members from the raptured Church, like pastors of today? If so, won’t the Church will be on earth during the millennium?

Once we have received salvation we are attuned to the Spirit of God. What happens to our spirit when we back slide? I know we are permanently sealed and even the gates of hell cannot undo our salvation, nor can we ourselves undo our salvation. I know during our periods of back sliding we are out of fellowship with Christ and open doors for curses and receive no blessings during this time. What I want to know is, our spirit, are we still attuned to the Spirit of God while we are out of fellowship?

Re: Who Are The Called. Would you agree that the Bible teaches that the free will vs predestination arguments (God choose us and we Choose Him) are both true and we can no more understand it than we can the trinity or the creation of Satan?

I have a question concerning the topic of first mention. I have heard that with the potter and the clay (Romans 9) that it actually refers to service that GOD has you do for him and not to salvation like the Calvinists believe. Could you please shed some light on this and possibly look at the potter and the clay in light of the topic of first mention.

Would it be safe to say that you espouse Arminianism?

How would you explain that the Church is Christ’s body? That He is the head of the body?

I have recently found your website and I’m impressed with a number of your articles. I would like to know who the “called” are in Romans 8:28? Are they the same as the Elect and how are they “called”? Who does the calling?
