You bet. AFF is Apostolic Friends Forum

“Bert” was his username on another forum. Same antics as here. He was booted from that forum a couple times and always came back using different names. I think he’s been here before too. It’s easy to spot him after about 20-30 of his posts he starts getting loose. He’s a riot, IMO.

Amen This is proof of that "other spirit".

Definitely Bert.

Riekertlily, I would say in answering the OP that we must remember that Gods ways are not our ways. We rightfully pray for Gods will to be done in our lives. But when things go array we assume His will isn't being done usually because His will didn't meet our expectations and desires. But those...

2 Kings 6:29, Deuteronomy 28:53

Thanks Helen. So many things to do with the family, business, and farm. But I really enjoy getting on early everyday reading posts and occasionally posting. Some day I'll settle down and get more involved. So many good threads lately (including this one!)

I'd let my younger self know that God is real and His love is immeasurable. And that life seems unfair and hard but it's mostly just perspective. And not to trust many of those feelings but press on towards the mark and God would see him through. That one day he will look back and be able to...

Obviously; Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. the best example I can think of in scripture though I believe there are many. Moses was one who didn't think of himself first...

Bert?

I like the kjv version of that scripture better: 2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. IMO, this means "to you" or "to me"...IOW what we see. We see an angel of light. It undoubtedly serves us at the time. We see what we are looking for. Even if...

As Iforrest said....unconditional. I don't believe we can see others or ouselves the way God does, perfectly. Peel back the layers till all you see is love, mercy, and compassion. Similar to how you see one of your children at 3 or 4 years old but only seeing the good in them. Encouraging them...

"Already dead" refers to the physically dead. "Living which are not yet alive" refers to the physically living who are yet born again. Physically alive but Spiritually dead.

I'm sure some here will have the perfect answer. I only know the timing was perfect.

Yes, amen. Psa 44:6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. Psa 44:7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. Psa 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. Psa 20:8...

To take two or three verses out of context and try to paint Jesus as an angry dictator and overlook the many verses that show His true nature is ridiculous and only self-serving. People should get their flesh under subjection before responding with hate filled comments to each other. There is no...

I have noticed we are seeing less of him as well. But I've seen this before. I think he migrates north in the summer to volunteer and spends less time on forums. But since he's top poster here now I think he has an obligation to us readers to stay the course and keep us in fresh...

A couple hours north of you Frank in north central Arkansas. In the Ozark Mountains.

If you can't SEE love......BE love. If you really do love others, it won't matter what they are doing. You will obviously see the worst of the worst as almost everything in this world will contrast your love. The more you love, the more contrast is cast upon you. I don't believe a person who has...

Awesome post, Helen. Sounds like so many of the messages I'd get from my dear aunt so often at night or early mornings. We grew so close in the last few years discussing doctrines, love, and God in general. She was an amazingly strong but gentle person so full of biblical knowledge and always...
