@Behold What an amazing revelation....barely one day old and 50 posts already! Flesh and blood did not reveal it to you , but Christ's Father who is in heaven. At last, after 2000 or so years, Christ can now begin building his Church as per Matthew 16:18.

I've lot my passport, it's too far by car, and even if I got a new passport I couldn't handle the 90 minute flight in a face mask. I tried one yesterday for the first time and I couldn't tolerate it for more than few minutes. At least I'm getting the hang of heating ready made meals, but thanks...

Both my children from my first marriage, and my grandchildren, all live in the Dordogne area of France.

Whilst Christine (my Wife) has been away in respite with her two sons I've disregarded our dishwasher in favour of hand washing, drying and putting away all my cutlery and crockery immediately I've finished using them So I wake up to total cleanliness and tidiness.....wonderful fillip for the day!

In the New Testament ”the Law and the Prophets” are coupled together some 12-13 times in a way that suggests their coupling to be of great significance. Here are a selection of examples:- Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to...

After a bit of searching (through both scriptures and my heart) I'm beginning to think that discernment becomes criticism when it tends to argue the toss regarding the interpretation and application of theology. On the other side of the coin, it is not easy to define discernment that is not...

Interwoven throughout this thread I find many advices that strike deep into my own deficiencies of taking offence. God bless all of those who have ministered to me accordingly.

I have no firm answers to the question of Paranormality. When I was a young Christian believer, and of an impressionable age, circumstances placed me in the company of three pentecostalists who asked if they could lay hands on me with a view to me receiving what they called "the baptism of the...

Can this thread be locked please. One bigoted contributor in particular has totally soured its content (back to the forum abhorrence that I alluded to in the first para of my OP).

I should perhaps clarify that I am well aware of the many new testament verses and passages that appear to promote a fearful fate for a large majority of mankind. Whether or not I believe such verses and passages at their apparent face value is another matter that I would put aside as not being...

Why can we not discuss each other's sincerely held inclinations/convictions without accusations of ignorance? Enoch's words in black....My responses in Red. You have chosen to go off on a tangent, rather than deal with the pertinent issue. "Is the King James Bible -- for all intents and...

Consider the background. Henry VIII was originally a staunch Catholic, and Catholicism was accordingly England’s official religion until 1527 when Henry sought to establish what was to become known as ‘The Church of England’ (with himself as its head) so that he could personally authorise the...

@marksman I think I agree with what you say. But I only say 'think' because it will take a lot more consideration of how it should be applied before I could go beyond 'thinking'. Is not what you have been considering worthy of a dedicated topic so that I (and maybe others) can travel along with...

I cling to the hope (dare I say 'belief'?) that God will speak directly into the heart of every person, or use any secular or religious medium (including any version of the Bible) in ways that are commensurate with a person's capability/readiness to receive the things that God (who knows the...

@charity Thank you so much dear Chris for your words of grace and love.

What does that mean and how does it collate?

Thanks for the various wise responses, but my troubles have suddenly paled into insignificance with the news (since my OP) that my wife's cancer has become so widespread that all that can now be offered is 'palliative care'.

Gradually I have become less inclined to contribute to forums because of the irreconcilability of “This is what God has said, and this is what he means by it” versus “No, what he has really said is this, and this is what he actually means by it”. To most readers this conflict must surely be...

None of us can do more than Worship the Godship that, through the distortion of the darkened glass, we sincerely belief ourselves to have been given but a glimpse. It's nothing but the words of such a person, but I do like the Hymn:- Blind unbelief is sure to ere And scan her works in vain God...

Painting of Combe Castle ... reckoned to be Britain's prettiest village.
