I have to agree with you brother. We are NOT appointed to His wrath, but nowhere does it say we will escape "Satan's" persecution. I no longer have a stance on the "Pre-Trib. rapture" as, what I understand can go both ways so, just being prepared EITHER WAY is all we should care about anyhow...

Prayers for this delivery to be smooth and no complications, no matter private or govt. hospital. God bless this delivery, and let baby and momma be just fine, and please let it be a boy, Amen!

Yes bro, I do know this. Your sisters, except Margaret seemed to be the only one wo was somewhat decent through all of this. I can say the same with being alone with no help but then, we really are not alone, right? He is with us all the way, despite what we see and what happens. You have...

Rollercoaster is right, life comes at us like a freight train out of control! And it is in the "how do you respond" that can get ya! Yeah, my poor dogs have to listen to me yell AND break inanimate objects all the time :eek: . Work in constant progress...want to be counted worthy when He...

Ok, we are done.

Love how you write Taken, you use only the words needed to get your point across! "Some times called “frustration” ?" HA is right...MOSTLY called frustration in my world :D LIFE itself is frustration but, don't always respond the correct way...working on that ALL THE TIME.

Yeah, hmmm...dunno! Unless being accounted worthy is our faith and belief and trust in Christ? What will we all be doing in our personal lives when He comes? Acting like the evil servant, or seeking all things Him? How worthy must one be? Cannot see saved people reaching total fullness in...

It is NOT about "laziness"! I am just not a part of the "intelligencia" and would need a tutor. you can go ahead and do this on your own as you have the capacity and probably the education, I do not. Some have difficulty plowing through all that stuff and it is not salvific IMHO. Jesus own...

Aren't we being tested daily? Some are more "complete" in Him than others. It sounds like a form of purgatory...another whole different can of worms. Not saying anything about an unsaved person being "left behind" cause, I don't think ANY saved person will be left behind. We can't all be...

Praying NOW for all of this bro. I ask Him for that peace that surpasses all understanding, and that you will feel better soon. That He will refresh your strength. Why do you feel disturbed in mind brother?

I sure hope this is not the case. It seems to say we are saved in increments and, cannot buy that. How "saved" does one have to be to, well...be saved? And, what about those new to the faith...they sure are not complete in Him yet. Guess we will all find out one day.

So, would you be the one who throws that first stone, with obvious glee I would imagine?

Understood. Jesus askes Peter 3 times if he loves Him, Jesus questions: "Do you love me" 15 "agapaō" 16 "agapaō" 17 "phileō" Peters replies: "I love you" "Phileo" "Phileo" "Phileo" These are easy to understand and straight forward. I will always look at the simplest...

Yes, thank you. I do understand there are different meanings of many words that are the same in English spelling. The different kinds of "love" are pretty easily understood but, foresee and foreknow are still stubbornly not budging as, there is really no discernable difference between the...

Hi Hillary, I will pray now, that you will be led to the perfect job, only God can do that, chin up and confidence in Christ sister! And, it is when we seem to be at our breaking point (I think we have all been there, many times) where trust and faith REALLY mean allot as, that's when He comes...

"Foreknow is to intimately know beforehand. A relationship. An election. Foresight is just knowing what will happen. " Thank you for the short answer. It still seems pretty much synonymous to me though. "anyone serious about Scripture will at least investigate the original languages." Not...

@BARNEY BRIGHT I'm sorry but, I messed up the order of my post you are referring to. This was not directed at you: "If you were to be judge instead of God, heaven would be empty." "First of all there has to be true repentance so that forgiveness can be given. A person who isn't truly...

I speak "English", the bible has been written in "English", I understand in "English"...just like all the other Nations and tongues read, understand and speak in their own. Why would this all be lost in translation with just the English? Perhaps you can enlighten me as I am not inclined to go...

Did Jesus nastily tell all those filthy gentiles, the prostitutes, whoremongers, drunks etc, etc to GET OUT until they cleaned up their act?? I thought it was Christ IN us and the holy Spirit IN US that did the cleaning up. Or, would you rather get the glory for "doing it yourself"? Your...

Hi Curtis, Agreed with what you say except I have a question about this para: "Fortunately, a shallow and incorrect knowledge of Jesus being divinity is not a salvation issue, because you can be on milk of the word and not on meat, and only believe Jesus is the son of God, and still be saved."...
