Amen Pat...it's an idol.

A big Amen to that Quietthinker, Yes, we are to eat on His Word daily and yes, with a prayerful attitude. "It is written..." is one of my favorite sayings of Jesus against the evil one. And yes, we too can do the same no matter what it is that comes at us. It's the settling the mind that can...

❤

Yep, pretty much!

Ahaha! Priceless ❤

Even though I do sometimes use the KJV it's what I started on and, it's easy to remember scriptures more easily but, what you wrote is something I'd read of a long time ago and personally, I do not think the KJV is worthy of being accorded ‘plenary verbal inspiration because of who put it...

Well said Josho, I was once one of those "pretenders", with "tongues". I just wanted to be such a part of Gods Church and nothing "just came out" it was me all along. And, when the pastor tried to "slay me in the Spirit" (still do not see that as biblical or edifying the body) he pushed, hard...

Word! Seems that lot's of folks feel the need to display their intellectual prowess (or, even lack thereof :D ) in order to make themselves look smarter than others...And you are right Mike, we are all at different stages and for the life of me, I don't get why others want us to be exactly...

Okay, and yes it does settle the matter, thank you :) You explained it well. I need to pay much better attention to the wherefores, therefores and now's...I read too fast and if it is one thing we don't want to read fast...it's His Word :oops: Thanks again Chris, In Him, Nancy

It seems that 'wisdom' and 'discernment' go hand in hand. God say's: James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." Wisdom would naturally lead to discernment, I would think. JMO :)

Apparently you did not read my whole post as, I said that the pastor did NOT teach on it other than by omission. I sat down and spoke face to face with him for over an hour in his office with his secretary in there as well. I know exactly what TULIP means as I got it from the horses mouth. I...

I understand what you are saying but should this be on another thread of it's own? This is a thread about a brother who needs encouragement and prayer. God Bless

Lol.

I haven't studied anything much about the dead sea scrolls other than they did contain scripture. But that being beside the point, I happen to like Mike and believe he is a spirit filled Christian. Also, can't say as I agree 100% with any one Christian on this or any other site but...as long...

It seems that Calvinism attracts the "intellectuals" and many young are buying into it. Funny thing, I attended a Calvinistic Church for (gulp) 3 years, did not know the Pastors beliefs at first but, when I made an appointment with him, he made it clear that he is a 5 pointer BUT...I am...

Not only the fact that the TULIP's say that the fact that He chooses some for heaven and some for hell but they say that those that are destined to burn-no matter their love of The Lord, and believing on Him-is to show the glory of Gods wrath. I am totally with you on this one. I find it not...

Considering the source here...:rolleyes:

I'm bamboozled and flabbergasted by the shenanigans that is politics :D It's tomfoolery (that ones mine, lol) codswallop, gobbledygook and whatnot.

Sorry Bobby but, I would take a gander here and say that @Mike Waters has been walking with the Lord and living in trust and faith in The Lord probably before you were even born! Are we not human and fall short or get weary in well doing at times? Especially considering what the man is going...

"Sin is this belief in x, and not seeing the beauty and opportunity all around us, just small steps that build to a glorious future. Jesus talked about mercy, justice and faithfulness. Justice is what is fair, what works, what is reasonable, mercy, forgiveness for those who make small errors...
