I just looked that up and came across this, here's an excerpt: " At first glance, his words appear disturbing and irresponsible. It is as if he is suggesting that anything goes; that everything is permissible; that we have neither limits nor boundaries; and that we are free to do whatever we...

Well put Amadeus, "The new man which was given to us at the moment of salvation cannot and will not and does not desire sin!" For sure. We do hate sin even as we fall short. Every day I grow more in Him, learn more in Him. I absolutely HATE sin yet...we will fall short but the getting back...

Awesome! It is so surreal when the pearls find us :) Some things just click at once and we are wowed! He is there and wants us to seek Him...we draw near to Him and He draws near to us ❤

Hmm, good take on this subject. Yes, it would of course be His mercy. :)

WORD!

Another one out of the ball park @amadeus :) I can see this as predestination as a sort as, God knew the ones who would not receive Him so, He hardened their hearts all the more. Kind of like Pharaoh.

'I simply thank Him and trust in His awesome grace to resist all manner of sin' Maybe I should have worded this better? What I wrote above has everything to do with His power in us...

Hi @Grams ! So good to hear from you! Helen is doing alright, she did hurt herself and is doing fine now, or at least better. Helen had a tragedy within her family within the last couple months. Can you inbox her in message? She is not on as often but, I have heard from her through inbox...

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Philippians 1:6 "Not that I have already obtained, or am already perfected, but I press on. . . . One thing I do, I press on toward the goal. Let us therefore, as...

Ahhh, yes! Now it the scriptures you quoted come back to me, thank you for that. And as to your OP "Who will join me in suspecting that we could well be currently experiencing a 21st Century 'Provocation'?" I certainly do agree here yet...we must not forget Nineveh, yes? In Him my brother, Nancy

"Yet more and more the Leaders in both our countries, are being given more individual prominence and power than is right, or safe, I feel." Agreed. It is "mans" way, and not God's yet...He uses evil for the good for those who love Him... :) And, I so love that verse. "God's will, will be...

Hi Chris, Even though there are parts in the bible that say that God basically puts into office those over us. It makes me wonder about the "free will" of the people. “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God”...

Same here Mayflower, It was all in good fun until I realized the truth of it all. It is NOT harmless at all and, I am glad that your children are young enough to understand early on :)

Thanks G. I know a pastor who works with one of the companies and he is their most successful sales guy. I really like him and his family very much. I will check out your link and, thank you. :)

The really sad part P.W., is that Satan hides in plain sight...(and, yes...NOT from God, of course) He's devised a plan to do this kind of thing eons ago. Make himself seem harmless and non- existent. He is behind ALL things pertaining to evil...and most do not see even an inkling of him as...

Hi Rj, I do believe you got the main issue correct. I and several others wanted to do the solar panels on our houses but, when we found what they cost...we couldn't afford it. And, even if we could we'd probably be dead and gone before we were to see any savings benefit. My electric is pretty...

Not quite sure what that means Mike..

"God's truth never changes but our understanding of it grows, thus our Theology changes as we build a 'better comprehension" I do believe we never stop growing and learning. If one has the humility to be teachable there is much we could learn from one another. I know that many times, what I...

"Even though the epistle of the Hebrews does not directly identify its author no one knew the O.T. scriptures like the Apostle Paul in the N.T. And most biblical scholars say the greatest book ever written by man was Romans and Paul quotes the O.T. everywhere in that epistle much like we see in...

"it is it's content which matters more than it's authorship, don't you agree?" Agreed. I just find it to be interesting that, if it was Barnabas, why are there none of his writings in the N.T. xo
