That's really wise Dave. My husband actually told me the same thing because sometimes I don't take every thought captive and I think those trains of thought lead me away from God - not to Him. Maybe that's a confirmation since you're the 2nd one that said the same thing. I really appreciate...

Thank you for answering me! I know that I'm spiritually regenerated yet we read in Revelations that Paul was "in the spirit" : "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet," This verse makes me believe that Paul entered some type of experience...

I have been away from my Bible for awhile and have been recently getting back into reading it. I really like the way you end your posts! Much love to you also!

Can you please answer the question I asked? I'm dealing with a very sticky situation and I don't know how to handle it in a godly manner.

Can you answer the question I asked? I'm dealing with a very sticky situation. It's very upsetting.

I have a question for everyone - I hope that it's answered. I need the wisdom of Solomon. "In a multitude of counselors there is safety." We had family members stay with us a short time. They had bought a house and the owners had left their dog without food or water so our family members...

Dave I'm really sorry I asked you that question. I don't think you'll answer me again! I'm trying to have everyone understand that your response was meant for me alone. You weren't going around shaming anyone. I hope that everyone can drop it. Dave's post was not meant for anyone else but...

Rita - I see your point and I agree that betrayal strikes at the core of a marriage: your spouse should be the person that you trust the most. Therefore it's a very emotional issue and I'm sorry that you had to experience it. I experienced the pain second hand in our family and I don't feel...

I'm glad that you grasp it. I think that God is going to reveal it to me - as He has in some other things - but I've had it for awhile. I sometimes sense God very close and that sense of holiness - something of a foretaste of things to come but then it's gone. I thought it might be that...

Good enough:) It's okay if you feel you can't answer - I have tough questions sometimes, that the pastor at bible study can't answer. The best way I can describe it is that sometimes I seem very close in spirit and sense God close but then it is like a vapor and is gone. I just had it happen...

I know the verse but I'm missing the point. I don't believe it would take two tries to get a healing right. I think you're pointing to a fault within the individual who couldn't see clearly yet. Are you saying that it's due to lack of spiritual sight? I don't know if my experience...

Can you explain that? I can't believe that you just said that. I was reading yesterday "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day..." and pondering what exactly it meant. I've been striving to get to a stronger place with God and I wondered what that verse meant. What does "in the Spirit" mean...

Arthur Melanson taught it - I don't know if you ever heard of him. I doubt he's still on the radio.

I see where you're coming from - you did nothing wrong, but your spouse did. In those instances you have no real choice. I imagine that is very painful and you didn't have control over the situation - your husband left. I felt responsible because Dave did not offer the information - I asked...

Yes - and we shouldn't. Thanks for pointing that out. Have you ever heard of the Preterist doctrine? I've wondered about it for a number of years. My mother and sister were believers in it, but not me. I always wondered why those who I knew were spiritually regenerated could hold such...

That makes sense. I've been trying to study more regularly. I did years ago but some things happened and I got lazy I guess. Now I'm trying to get into daily bible reading again. Have you ever heard of the Preterist doctrine? I always wondered about it because my mother and sister both...

It's interesting because I was reading that when two people have sexual relationships they're "joined" - I don't know if this is true or not. I know the Bible says "two shall become one" - does this mean only in marriage or can it mean in a sexual relationship? There is so much fornication...

Yes I'm seeing that. It seems to be a hot-button issue because people feel strongly about it. I never studied this topic in-depth and am unqualified to really speak on it. I have seen pastors teach what I thought to be wrong, so no one has a corner on God. We each interpret Scripture...

I hate to see believers at each others throats - maybe we should drop this discussion and just agree that we see things differently. Please remember that Dave did not go around espousing his views for everyone to see - I asked him. As Farouk said: we're each entitled to our own views. Maybe...

That's interesting; I never looked at it in depth. I assumed that since it was in the Bible then a spouse could safely divorce if there was fornication. I'm really puzzled as to what's going on today. The spouses who were cheated on were exceptionally good-looking, moral individuals who...
