2 Corinthians 9:7 Acts 20:35 Luke 6:38 Proverbs 20:10 "Differing weights and differing measures, Both of them are abominable to the Lord." Proverbs 11:1 "A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, But a just weight is His delight." Proverbs 16:11 "A just balance and scales belong to...

And I will be flying to Greensboro end of April, or beginning of May! We will keep one another in prayer! :eek:

Thank you Walter but, I have still much to learn.

@WalterandDebbie Forgive me for going off topic, I was not thinking clearly, I will read Sam 18 now, especially vs. 15. I find that Absalom was very proud of his hair, which was abundant. Also that he was hanged by his hair and was speared by ten men because of him sleeping with 10 of David's...

Okay, I've read all of 2 Samuel 13. Yes David was angry but did nothing to Amnon because he was his 1st son, being the next in line for Kingship (hmmm) Also yes, as you say @Wrangler, David was guilty of adultery himself as well as sending Uriah to the front lines to be killed, so he then...

Yes, just found that out but, doesn't mean it was okay to rape his sister and toss her aside like a piece of garbage.

Well, that is a lot of stuff and I do not understand some things. Still though, I suppose David was not able to punish him as Absalom had already had him killed...?

I wonder why David did not punish the man who raped Absalom's sister :IDK:

John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." 1st birth, flesh 2nd birth, Spirit. But this is not something we must agree on brother, thank you for the replies.

Hmm, not at all sure of what this has to do with Jesus and Nicodemus's conversation. But thanks :)

Praying for wisdom to make the hard decisions! Amen.

Hi Scott, Just a quick question and comment. If we are to be born again, we would have to have been born already, once (through the flesh or, from your mother which yes, it is of the flesh -John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." So...

Thank you Scott, I like your explanation. "John 6 answers a lot of questions on being foreknown and predestined to be the children of God God's work is that you believe in Christ, Jesus adds on and says all those the Father gives to Him will come to Him. If God has not foreknown and...

"The best example is the terminally ill whose future is guaranteed to be filled with indignity and suffering. Modern medicine may dull the pain but it does not remove the dehumanizing, the loss of dignity in such cases." This is a good example, when God say's our time is up and our life is...

This doctrine has caused many to doubt their salvation. If Adam ushered in the sin nature where as ALL are born with depravity (which I do believe), then what happened to the "all people" under Christ are offered the gift? Seems like a double standard to me. Romans 5:14 "1 Corinthians 15:21-22...

Hi Wrangler, I see what you are saying but, our lives do not belong to us, they belong to God IMHO. On the other hand, there are people who take their lives because they fell into despair and are not thinking clearly as they end their lives.

No, I won't use scripture ( :IDK: ) as I have already posted plenty of it showing that God gives the gift of Christ freely. Why would He do this if He thought we should NOT accept this free gift from God Almighty??! Sorry but, I will not be reading your bloviating posts any more...

Not at all "making it a condition to be saved". But Jesus did tell all people to repent and be baptized...not to do so would be disobedience.

Okay then. According to your logic, repentance and baptism, are all works of the flesh in order to receive salvation?
