Hi Chris, There is a ton of stuff in your posts, so...I will only be taking certain things to reply to :) "* The inheritance that both Jew and Gentile shared 'in Christ' as part of Israel's Olive Tree, was quite different to that of the church which is the Body of Christ, which I identify...

:D

"As such I am His workmanship (Ephesians 2:10), and the work that He has begun in me, He will continue to do, until the day of Christ. There is tremendous security in that knowledge." Total rest in The One! And faith, in knowing He is true to His word and will do it :) "Hebrews is not...

Very much agreed. And yes, the warnings (and many of them) are there for a reason. I would have to say that most Christians I know are still on the milk. They do not realize how strong their faith will need to be; to finish this race. I can see many falling away, becoming weary in well...

Hi Rocky, I've often wondered if God could have "repented of making man" as with Noah, ("Gen. 6:6 : "And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.") and destroyed the earth from evil. He is a Creator so He creates. If this is possible, I wonder how...

Yeah, Tina rocks, saw her once and almost saw her another time earlier when her and Ike were still "together", but it was cancelled :( "their grounds seem to solely based on God's sovereignty" Yes, and as you said before, "God's sovereignty is axiomatic to all who believe in His existence."...

Hi DNB, "Love by definition, must be free, therefore we are to chose or reject Him." Decades ago, Tina Turner had said on stage one time "If a man don't want ya, ya can't make him have ya"...lol. Anything other than choice is nothing but a pre-programmed bot. What, was God up there fretting...

Praying that God will open those opportunities up for you, and that He bless you to overcome all the challenges you face. Amen!

Hi F.H., "You touch on an important point. If I share something emotionally significant, either one takes it on board or repackages the content into something evil." It seems many here are always telling others how they feel or how they should feel...such assumption. Putting words into other's...

Hi DNB, Agreed, neither am I intoning that we be frivolous with what God has blessed us with. And yes, we must be prudent. I know all about the "users" - up close and personal! - and the worst ones in my experience were self proclaiming Christians, somehow that hurts much more than if it came...

Do you see this casual attitude of today's Church toward God as connected to "The falling away"? Or, just the age? I have known many stiff-necked, set in cement, un-teachable Christians. There is fear there...I know. ;) And, as long as we are "confident" in Christ, we won't be tripped up by...

You have the heart of Jesus @FollowHim God is looking at our heart-reaction to a person in need, He judges, not us. @DNB said: " Yes, but not all are 'handicapped' that way, some are exploitative, some feel entitled and that the world owes them, some are hypochondriacs, and some are...

I hope you feel better soon so you can pick up where you left off M.D.

I guess i should have said "how do we know it was SIN that put the thief on the cross. If you and or your family is starving... "Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;" Proverbs 6:30

I have this thing called brain fog, I'm sure you have noticed :p So, this light is God himself...as, He IS light after all. 1 John 1:5

My apologies. I was lax with the verse. I thought we were speaking of Matthew 3:13-16.

So, are you going to share what it is that you see behind the letter of the word (Word?) in the beginning of Gen. ? Curious Nancy (LOL)

"I have seen something behind the letter of the word in the beginning of Genesis." "3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." Would this verse have anything to do with what you see behind the letter of the word..."? Was God Himself living in darkness before He made the...

I think He shrouds Himself, in full anyhow, for our own protection...the light of His glory would undo us! If we see through a glass darkly now...try looking at the sun directly on a sunny day...we can't even do that and that is a glass darkly :eek:

Stranger said: ↑ I have read your posts, they always seem to have a bitterness in them. I think you assume too much. (Matt. 17:5) is clear concerning the distinction between the Father and Son. But, that doesn't mean the Son is not God also. Stranger What is needed to elaborate on? @Stranger...
