When you choose love over the rigidity of legalism, you are pleasing God and showing yourself a "neighbour" in the sense that Jesus used the word neighbour in Luke_10:36. (Helping people in need). Luke_10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the...

Wonder how the "prosperity gospel" is doing in the persecuted church in North Korea and Egypt and other countries? Doesn't seem to work in those countries. I wonder why? As pom2014 alluded to, God's view of true prosperity is a bit different from man's view. Great post on what the Western...

It is a corrupt and fallen world and we have to remember who our King is and how he functioned in the corrupt world of His time. He resisted taking one side or the other in the affairs of men and stayed true to His Father's message to man. If we entangle ourselves in the affairs of this life we...

I agree, that primaries are most important even though depending on the state, independents can't vote in some of them. Also, don't forget that in some states, Dems can sway the Republican vote and vice versa. When there is only a Republican primary, Dems can show up and vote! :ph34r...

All can vote in the final election, but in some states independents cannot vote in the primaries.

Yep, that's right. This is our first contact. I really don't know anyone else on this board except one other person and she has not been here for awhile.

Zeke25, Thanks for laying everything out and reasoning from the Scriptures. I don't know why people want to "dig their heels in" and protect doctrines of men and not "reason from the Scriptures" as the Bereans did. To reason from the Scriptures, one must be willing to be intellectually honest...

No, I don't complain and people are free to express themselves. I don't know what you are referring to. If you would be a bit slower to speak and quicker to listen (read), you would not miss some important points. We are talking about how fast independents are growing and that people are...

Actually, based on other threads, I am more surprised at what you don't know. But, obviously your self-image is not suffering from it. Case in point. Those two independent seats do not reflect the total independents in the nation as those seats are only voted for by the independents in those...

There is no place in Scripture where we are to rest from our literal work. Well, except for one, but it's not just literal work, but doing our own ways, finding our own pleasure and speaking our own words. Nothing figurative about this statement. Isa_58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the...

See, what I highlighted in RED? by "entered into His rest", you mean spiritually, right? by "cease from working on the Sabbath just as God rested" you mean physically, right? Except, God did not rest physically. No need for that and that is not the rest He is talking about. You are mixing...

My point, exactly! He never broke the law, because love is the fulfilling of the law.

Jim, Your understanding agrees with Scriptures. Isa_49:18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth...

I would honor his request to "quit" and be on my way. It is not my responsibility for making a man believe, just to preach the Gospel.

I can go with "magnify" the law. After all, that is "bible speak". Jesus did just that when He came. He fulfilled (magnified) the law. And He also demonstrated what fulfilling or magnifying the law, meant in His actions which were all motivated by love. Mat_5:17 Think not that I am come to...

As a Canadian, you probably don't know that Independents can vote in some primaries depending on the State and can't vote in other primaries, depending on the State. In the Presidential Election, Independents can vote with no restrictions. So, it is the Presidential Election that is ultimately...

I think you should take another look at your numbers. You are way off. Independents are now, almost 30% of registered voters that voted in the 2012 Presidential Election. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2012

I love percolators. Hope no one is waiting for the future to dwell in Jerusalem, "above". Get there, now! Gal_4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. This happened 2,000 years, ago. If you are in Christ, you have been born into the New Jerusalem...

They do have another option and many are availing themselves of it: Independent Yes, I would agree with that and add "painfully aware". "Painfully", because of the track record of betrayal they are establishing with their base.

Thank you, justaname. It does clarify things. And I see that you are beginning a teaching so forgive me for interrupting it. Please continue.
