I love that you come back to calling it a mystery, but I think I have worked out where the root of the problem is: I have faith that God will forgive my sins, but I also have faith, that God (if He has to) will keep forgiving my sins. I am dependent, on Him (as you said you were); He catches me...

Yes, but "you would not" in principle. If the example is flawed, it is because you have tinkered with the context in which it was described. If you don't trust a physician, you find another one - you don't just give up. The point is, if something requires expertise, (at some point) you trust...

You said it yourself "you get to do something, just not from the outset" Jesus gets credit, that I wouldn't have done it (the good works) had it not been for Him, but He doesn't supplant my doing it. Jesus told you about traditions that cancel out the command of God, you need to examine your...

I was worried you were going to go off track, until you said this "the mystery includes a vast space between ourselves and Deity" - that made complete sense to me. I think the attraction of the mystery, for me, is that I can forget myself; that what I think of myself, is not the final...

I understand that there is a long time, between now and when I will meet this person (that I want you to share dreams of), like decades - but I want you to pray for a dream that will help now, I want peace now about who they are and what they will be receptive to? I will help you with the...

It comes down to mystery more than you think! Can you evolve a mystery? No! It is always a mystery. Can a mystery change? Within certain limits, yes. This is the mistake people come into, when they confuse their word, with change (change is confused with some degree of mystery and given a...

Some of it will always be a mystery - exactly my point (though I would go further and say all of it will be a mystery). Maybe what you are saying is that it is not a mystery to God? But I would doubt that also! I'm still lacking in how exactly you direct your focus, in order to gain more...

The Bible does not say that the tribulation will spread outside of Israel, for one thing. Jesus gives instruction for how the Jews should cope within Israel. But for another thing, if God is not speaking to you about what I said, why are you not praying as Jesus said "Pray that your flight not...

I admit you inspired me, a little, with your words - but not how you think. I should find strength in the Bible, for readiness for the rapture and tribulation: but only so that I pray all the more. I'm finding it hard to fathom, why you would not want to help me in this endeavour (in prayer...

Yes, (He does it) but not alone! You said it yourself "both to desire and to work" - God is doing that in me, right now! For which we should be inspired to work!

The point is to put the flesh to death. We don't need to alter (the flesh), wait (for the flesh) to be altered or look through (the flesh) in a way that alters it. This is a momentously hard saying. If the flesh is anything, it is a servant of the spirit - and for that it needed unity of...

Hi there, So the book of Revelation, was the first book of the Bible that I ever read (in its entirety) and I have stayed avidly mindful of what I have read there, ever since. But something has dawned on me, over the years (decades now), there really is no accounting, for the mystery of the...

My theory is that God started with less than He could have (hence Man's faith will always have to compensate). A theory that agrees with that idea, would be most impressive. Here's praying that you still have faith, once you discover that you are hated and despised for what you believe. And...

I think what is mysterious about me personally, is that I want to share the mystery with others that have not known it. If the gospel were about me, it would make sense; if others had the same mystery as me, it would make sense. As it is, I succumb to the Holy Spirit and air His Graces, for...

I think what you are missing though, is that God completed our works, by faith when we believed. We should be inspired to finish the works of God, with God. That's how Jesus sees God, as working with Him.

You started to speak my language, there (with truth and peace). You understand that the Gospel transcends the record of the Bible, as long as it can come back to the Bible with more experience. My concern is that you retain the idea, that you can hold on to the mystery of Christ. You may get a...

The purpose of being ignorant, may simply be that we become strong, trying to negotiate the Creation God is responsible for. If God meant for the world, to simply save itself, Evolution would make sense - but that is not His purpose. Living with ignorance, is a good test of character; doing...

"Do not worry little flock, it is the Father's good pleasure to give the Kingdom to you" (gospels, from memory). "You will sit and judge the twelve tribes of Israel" (gospels, from memory). The Kingdom is the place where our spirit is at home, and the words of the Kingdom, are those that make...

I had some thoughts on this already, you are right, there is more of a mystery to Christ (and witnessing) than the Devil is willing to admit. The Devil wants to put it (Christianity) down to, this or that belief - but those who are of Christ, hear His Voice ("hearing" being the mystery, in this...

Hi there, So I just wanted to point out a paradigm shift, from thinking about scripture, to retaining it - in your learning and memory. The Bible promises that the Holy Spirit will come to teach us all things and bring all things that Jesus said to remembrance. If the Holy Spirit comes to teach...
