    Why evil?

    ____________________________ There must be agreement. That, I doubt we will se __________________________________ I was in the mood this morning to listen to some country crooner music, the kind my father always had playing on his radio when I was growing up. Even at night, in his room...

    Why evil?

    _____________________________ I don't write of angels appearing, but rather revelation given from within texts. One person, for instance, can read the story of Jael (Judges 4) where she takes a nail and hammer and uses them to kill a man as he sleeps through the temple. One believer might say...
  3. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    My point is, bad things are going to happen in this life. Following Christ isn't easy; the world hated Him, it's gonna hate us. But - He equips us. He is with us and will never forsake us. Ephesians 6 tells us how to fight the enemy (it's God's fight - but He tells us how to armor ourselves)...
  4. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    ___________________________________ Many Charismatic pastors believe that all revelation from Scripture has not been uncovered. At times, the Lord will dedicate a certain anointed pastor/teacher to ferret out the hidden manna, the deeper truths. I too believe that so many writers today with...

    Why evil?

    Agreement is, very obviously, important by our instruction to walk in the same steps. (2 Cor 12:18) In fact, sameness encompasses walking, writing, judgment, mind, and speaking. Acts 15:22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company...

    Prophecy question

    Have many of you done a lengthy study of prophecy as told in Daniel, Ezekiel and throughout the Scriptures? I've been listening lately to a fellow on youtube, Les Feldick, an avid dispensationalist, who teaches verse by verse from Genesis to Revelation. I speed ahead at times in an attempt to...

    Greater works

    Greater in the quantity of works, you believe, as I do. Which would still not negate God using a believer to split the English Channel.
  8. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    __________ Yes, I see that.
  9. Hope in God

    Greater works

    I am reminded of the promise of John 14:12 that says we will do "greater works" than Jesus. What is this meaning? That we are to do more miracles, more feeding of the hungry, more healings.....or is it that we will simply be used to do more things because there will be more of us?
  10. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    _________________________________________ Excellent post, Lady. I did a half hour search with the words evil, wickedness, harm, and others to see if I could uncover Scriptures in the NT that state the same thing as Psalms. What I noticed were promises to care for us as Jesus does the birds and...
  11. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    __________________________ The Spirit is what makes our spirits and souls strong, and, I suppose, our flesh as well, as occasionally some will be healed. So we can be as weak as kittens while our spirits are strong. This doesn't necessarily mean what is in the Spirit is obligated to overflow...
  12. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    As I grow older, I see so much suffering in the lives of distant friends, relatives, and within the hospital where I spent 30 years working. I grew up in a location of SW PA where the only real work were foundries, mills, factories and the like. Not one of those chemical, glass, steel and pipe...
  13. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    _____________________ A friend once told me that he felt he Holocaust was appointed to all those victims because it led to the eventual birth of the Jewish nation, Israel. Was all that necessary to bring statehood to pass? Sure, I do believe God sends tribulations into our lives to test us...

    Money possessing you

    _________________________ No, it's a look at the proper way of viewing money, unlike so many wolves today.
  15. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    I don't ask the Lord in an earnest effort to understand why a particular bad event occurred in my life. That's not my nature. I would, most likely, come up with some pretty outrageous conclusions if I inspected all incidents, so I simply leave it alone. Oh, I might mumble, "Why, Lord, why?"...
  16. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    _________________________ I am more on the level of thinking that you are, Enoch. We will finish our courses with joy, perhaps, but shall pass with innumerable unanswered questions. We shall know if we follow on to know the Lord....into the next life.
  17. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    _______________________________ So you are saying, May, that he is preserving us from the evil one. How would you judge the misfortunes of those, who, like Corrie Ten Boom, nearly died at the hands of the Nazis? Would you not label those murderers the hand of the devil? Is there no greater...
  18. Hope in God

    Why evil?

    I am new here, so this topic you may have crossed paths with. My apologies. ________________________________ How insistent the following verses seem to be. Proverbs 12:21, “There shall no evil happen to the just…” Psalm 91:10, “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come...

    Money possessing you

    Perhaps what may need to be examined is the grossly inaccurate ingredients in the WOF's prosperity error. One thing that I see so abundantly accepted within these groups is the belief that a person can lose his/her salvation. There is no understanding regarding the threefold makeup of a...

    A blue collar tale (part one)

    _______ Actually, there was little thought of ever gaining anything more life's least. I am grateful for the Lord's intervention.
