    The pride of men

    I think pride can also be about the future. James 4:13 comes to mind. Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”;

    Don't punish the Devil, until he knows what he's done wrong, who he's done wrong to and where those following him are going to end up wrong (patient?)

    The snake is a metaphor for the evil one and his legions and how they disrupt and interact with humanity negatively.

    Are the Psalms not the greatest thing ever?

    Seriously, what on Earth is greater than the Psalms?

    The pride of men

    The issue isn't that we aren't seeking God. The issue is that many many Christians today (on this forum even) are striving to have Him be more intimate and vocal in our lives, but it's not happening. We yearn for a deeper relationship. I do not believe it is a lack of earnest seeking on our...

    The pride of men

    Right. That's what I meant. Hearing spiritually. Do you think Christians would overlook to do something so simple as ask in prayer for Him to be more intimate and communicative? I've asked many times for Him to reveal Himself and His will for me more directly. Sometimes He does and I figure out...

    Luke 10:19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

    The pride of men

    @Karl Peters Do you hear from God audibly? If so, what's your secret? Inquiring minds would like to know.

    If I felt this way all the time then yes, I would agree that it leads to pride. But it only happened once for me. So I think it's kosher. I pray you have a similar experience one day

    I will share one exceptional experience I had in late 2017. It was a sunny day after work. I was sitting in the foyer and I asked a religious question to myself and received an answer as clear as crystal. I asked another one soon after and received yet another answer in the same way. It was like...

    There is too much negativity. Let us come together for a moment to share why each of us is grateful to God!

    Thank you God for your protection in all my ways. Thank you for sending your angels to help me.

    Before I came to Christ 7 years ago I never cried at all. A cold heart I guess. But I've teared up a number of times since

    Saved by obeying the commandments?

    Well which is it? Is it 39 years or is it 60 years? Shouldn't you of all people know which is which? Do you agree with the following statement: A man who sins is a sinner. Simple yes or no would suffice.

    Right. I literally made that point.

    Saved by obeying the commandments?

    Why would unbelievers read the bible though? If the message is addressed to unbelievers, who don't read the bible, then how are they supposed to acquire that message and realize their state? Being made "free from sin" would indicate sinless perfection imo.

    Saved by obeying the commandments?

    I think you're just beating a dead horse at this point. I don't even think we disagree.

    Saved by obeying the commandments?

    I believe my previous reply addresses this. We are in right standing with God due to faith in Christ, which clothes us in His righteousness. But we still fall short and sin. Period. If someone sins, they are a sinner. God acknowledges that we sin, but does not ULTIMATELY declare us as sinful...
