    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Have you ever wondered why you need to make so many words in an attempt to get a point across AJ? ....and do you get your point across is another question? Could it be a possibility that the method you use is the same method used by most ....and from what I can see it is more chasing your own...

    Why does everyone seem to need to come up with their own belief and doctrinal formula?

    Does pointing to the opinions of others as their weak point include your opinions as well?

    Who or What is Babylon the Great? How do God’s people come to be in her?

    Babylon the Great does not necessarily consist of nameable denominations (particularly those whom one is opposed to) Babylon the Great is far broader than that. It embraces all who operate by the principle of selfishness regardless whether their doctrines are right or wrong......and because of...

    PERSON-TATION

    'There is soooooo much confrontation regarding the Trinity doctrine--I hate to add to it. But it is all really quite simple:' If you really did hate it you wouldn't add to it. Speaking from both sides of your mouth?

    Book of Life / Predestination/Elect - My personal gleanings

    In Jesus, all humanity is in the Book of Life. We don't get put into the book of life, we get taken out....and who takes us out? we do. Just as we didn't opt for life here on this planet, we do however have a choice to opt out....either quickly or slowly. All humanity is in Jesus; he opted us...

    Sinless perfection is easy

    Yes, the self is still much alive (selfishness)....its the self we do battle with every day. If one looks at the transition from Romans 7 to Romans 8 we see that while Paul acknowledges his sinful nature as active he is thankful for God's Grace. Romans 8:1 'There is therefore no...

    Sinless perfection is easy

    Sin is not isolated to the gross activity of the flesh. It includes the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    Sinless perfection is easy

    Are they around the corner also? :Broadly: One thing has come to light though, being cornered makes 'em mad because Romans 7, well, let me put it this way, Paul identifies himself as not in the past, but blow me down, as in the present! I wonder if he would let people like himself in the house?

    What is the sin of unbelief?

    Like I said, I put them on the shelf. In my 50 odd years as a believer I have the benefit of looking back over HOW I have believed and WHAT I have believed. In my early years being gullible to various points of view was not recognised and stories like the one you have presented were easily...

    Does Yahavah, write on the hearts and minds of those who are his? Or do we need to do other things?

    The voice on the mountain said of Jesus, 'listen to him' It/ he could have said much more but chose not to. Can we hear what those simple words mean? 'listen to him'

    What is the sin of unbelief?

    What I do with them is hear them and put them on the shelf. I have no way of verifying the truth of stories of this nature.....knowing that folk are prone to exaggerate, to dream up things, to lie and so on.

    Gog and Magog and The Flaming Fire

    He has will be given more, he who doesn't have will have taken from him even that which he thinks he has....Jesus

    Men, how do you keep track of your wallet/keys?

    Podcast 183 has just come online. I think it speaks to our conversation here. You might be interested?

    I’m being tempted to walk away from Christ

    Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

    Gog and Magog and The Flaming Fire

    Isn't that so! All, without exception, feel they have the right angle and that others don't have it as right as they do. It behooves us all to figure that one out.

    Anne

    At 80 years old you can be certain God has knocked on her door many times through those years. Refusal to open the door is respected by God and he doesn't force the issue against her will. I think we need to be sensitive to peoples decisions regarding this. I think of Adam and Eve....they were...

    Men, how do you keep track of your wallet/keys?

    Yeah....topics are pretty easy to morph. Seems like most interactions are like that......but I wouldn't call it 'downhill'. I would say, a page is turned....which can be a good thing. When it comes to the wallet dilemma, all I can offer is, I don't carry anything with me (wallet, phone, watch...

    Men, how do you keep track of your wallet/keys?

    All three are the same article. Beats me why it uploaded as it did.....and as I said, couldn't and can't clear it.
