Yep, we are all lucky, out of the typical 80 to 300 million sperm cells we as first one reached the womb, the others died, we are winners, all of us. And indeed, why? and why me? Who am I? Pure randomness as science wants us to believe, or predestination? And about the blue, how can you be...

Yes, she has it backwards and everybody sees it. She has said she doesn't trust Scripture because it is written by men. As a result she evaluates everything with her own mind, convinced that the Holy Spirit is speaking to her and then checks if Scripture agrees and if not reject what is stated...

Me - Now our Spirit and our flesh from time to time may collide, the question is, who is right? We are almost in agreement. Me, I don't underestimate my flesh, it wants to survive, I learned from the best, Peter, Paul and Jeremiah Peter Matt 26:33 Peter answered him, “Though they all fall...

Instead of constant judgement can you please be constructive and offer solutions in love instead?

In my case the Lord told me in His own special way, you know, what His hands starts....

Okay, maybe that was a bit clumsy, let's try Romans 8, the chapter you often attach to your posts. Rom 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. The flesh is...

Aha, so your born again spirit (which I don't doubt for one moment) did not told you that, you assumed it because you were told. Same as my own experience (not that a personal experience is the rule of thumb), I did not know, only that God had spoken to me, and I had no idea what to do. I had...

YES, from the start when we had our first post :smile: Yes, I know. For me it's the other way around, my interpretation of Scripture (with my limited mind) is the final authority. Doesn't always mean my born again spirit -- in its current state -- always agrees. And if so, it's an...

Then why read the Bible at all? Serious question.

That's great and wonderful, but who told you about into the Spirit of Christ?

And yet the the green passages you quoted has renewed your mind.

If I may. I was an unbeliever, but thanks to God's love and grace became born again, suddenly everything was different, but did not know what to believe, so many so called truths out there. I hardly knew the Bible, knew some of the stories from school, had no idea who Jesus really was, Moses...

Italy has exported two global entities -- the Mafia and the Catholic Church. Ironic. Made men generally are Roman-Catholics. Still, not much has been written about Mafiosi making (or not making) peace with the New Testament God before shuffling off this mortal coil. At the same time...

No disagreement here, as said before Church in power is wrong, Jesus said - My kingdom is not of this world. You are using the word primary, then what are the primary doctrines of the church? Matt 22:35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. Matt 22:36 “Teacher, which is...

Let's check, is the JW movement excluded being part of Babylon the great? I don't want to redo the whole "Deity of Christ" debate with more than 4000 posts. The point I was making that the ones responsible for producing the canon were NOT RCC, the RCC with popes in power (and how that went...

That's the whole point, there is no sound eschatology, on any there are buts... I know and after some time I gave up, because it made no sense. One day I might understand, Lord willing.

See, tomorrow is new day, just having my second coffee, great start of the new day :smile: God bless............

We never differed on this subject :gd

Does my (above) answer to BF help? You of all have remember the moment when you were born again, a life changing experience. That's not always so, for others it is a process.

Again - John 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, John 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. v12 - speaks about to become children of God, meaning a person is not...
