Is this one of those instances? ... it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:44 This verse entirely negates any rationalizations that the...

The spirit in me witnesses that the spirit is leading you. You are not as far from God as you are tempted to think. No man can know these things except the father leads him.

Well see, the fact that you disagree with that doctrine shows the work of the spirit in your heart. Now your mind needs to be fortified with scriptures that describe what you sense in your spirit, so that both will witness together and you will not feel weak and separate from God. If two lie...

My point was that if the grace and favor one receives is truly from the lord, then the same discipline, obedience and spirit that brought one to that point will also lead one at that point. On the other hand, if the favored position it is just the praise of man, then the aforementioned guides...

No, you have not lost your salvation; no, it's never too late; and no, you are not being punished. Yes, you are sinful (as we all are), and must repent - today, tomorrow, and always. Your mind is being renewed. It takes time and patience and endurance. Keep up the good work.

I might be able to if I knew what you were talking about.

If you don't know, it makes me wonder about the spirit that you got there.

Jesus was saying that he's not a spirit that has no visible form, that can't be touched and felt - he has a spiritual body that can be seen, touched and felt. The fact that there is a natural body, and a spiritual body doesn't mean that they don't have qualities in common, or that a spiritual...

The life of the flesh is the blood. Since Adam sinned, his sinful flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Nor can that of any of his children, except that of the sinless son of man, who through his own blood entered heaven. All those who die through him, live through his blood and...

I tried to PM you, but it wouldn't let me. Send me a PM.

I don't fly fish, but I used to kayak there frequently. Beautiful place.

Stay the course and continue to treat them like any other human being. I became friends with a lesbian couple through a mutual friend. I never talked about my beliefs, but I did treat them with respect. They knew I believed, through my friend. They eventually split up; and the last time I saw...

OK now jiggyfly makes sense. Do you ever fish Wilson's Creek?

Why do you continually try to hijack threads? What you seek to discuss has nothing to do with the OP.

You have a very good understanding of the matter, and what you wrote is well written. However, I do question the extent to which you have taken it in the last two paragraphs that state only a victim has the right to forgive. After David committed adultery with Bathsheba, and then killed her...

So as not to give the adversary room to find fault with your words, Job actually was quite afflicted in his mind. But that is quite different from mental illness, which our guest has (per his own confession), and is what I'm sure you were referring to. This person actually has taught me a...

You make a very good point, but your analysis omits the deeper reality of those with selfish agendas purposfully and willfully skewing the obvious meanings of words to achieve their own goals. They do this because they do not seek the common good, but their own. There are some like this on this...

This guy hijacks and sucks the life out of threads in which people engage him.

Repentance 12 years ago was very good and essential, but if that's the only repentance you ever do, or have done, you're deceiving yourself and are lost. We can't live on yesterday's repentance just as the children of Israel couldn't live on yesterday's manna. It is something we must do...
