Yes, true. Yet, we are growing as we seek Him. Yes, we have no sufficiency of ourselves, and know that we can do nothing outside of Him. I just do not see us walking exactly as Jesus did...that would mean, to me that we are perfect in every way. How can this be if we are still in these...

Hi Marks, I know many will argue this and that is their right, just as it is our right. I do agree with you and this is what I got out of my searching different scriptures in Rev. It just makes sense to me. :)

You are speaking some weird things of YOUR own imagination. Most of the woes of the OT Jews was because Gods Commandments were CONDITIONAL. If you do this, I will do this, if you do not do this then this or that will befall you. We are now under grace and, yes, we live with the consequences...

We should prefer instead (of course) blessing for blessing :) Contentment in Him is the peace that we do have...how He blesses us! We have more than one could ever need in material things. The only blessings we should be seeking are Spiritual blessings...

"Yet how often do we examine this as sin in railings for railing, cursing for cursing, reviling, threatening, a cloak of malice?" Not often enough...

Yes! Kind of like fashions and hair do's :)

Yes, good word, ty. "Don’t know why others are setting themselves as the gold and discouraging you from it." Well, this is not happened...it is all my own thoughts that lead me to think these things.

Agreed, of course but...to be totally and fully sinless as Jesus? I dunno. Maybe I think I am sinning when I'm really not? I always come back to 'now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus' yet, it is a struggle to even like myself when unkind thoughts and criticisms flit...

Luke 14:7-9 "7 When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable: 8“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited. 9Then the host who invited both of you will come and...

Seems I could live for thousands of years and never reach these heights. :(

Oh you just KNOW the big Pharma will come up with a vaccine...follow the money. The Govt. is def not above creating viruses so as to create a cure! Just look what they did to black men in the 30's, The Tuskegee experiment. I am far from trusting ours and any worldly governments.

I haven't had one in over 25 years and have not had the flu in all this time. I and a few of my co-workers who refused the vaccine, were forced to wear masks through the flu season...we were in the health field and worked with patients all day. Me tinx they push the flu shot WAY to hard. I...

" [8] Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away." I wonder, is there scripture stating when these things shall cease? Fail? This verse throws me and leaves me in the dark...

" And precious stones are those times where we are led to do the things that were prepared in advance." (Eph. 2:10). Would you liken this to something like giving to the poor and showing mercy to those less fortunate to ourselves (from the heart). Having TRUE compassion on those who are...

I believe God sometimes leads us to certain Church's for a reason, and a season. The last Church had me growing a thicker skin but, after 3 years there, never made a true friend. It was a cold atmosphere. You could talk to the pastor IF you made an appointment and, it was not a large...

"Durkin Name Meaning. Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Mac Duarcáin 'son of Duarcán', a byname representing a diminutive of duairc 'surly'. Polish: from Russian Durkin, from durak 'fool', 'idiot'." :D Maybe a typo?

Hi John, I remember a wile back a guy who said that the story of Jesus was written into the stars...and the Magi followed the star so, I believe there is a connection. God's beautiful glory can be used for good or evil. But, very interesting none the less.

Encouraging older member to find a new Church :eek: Wow. There is a Wesleyan Church where I know a few members of. They have two services at the same time, in different buildings on their property that hold one for the more contemporary music lovers and the other for the older members who...

No it's not but it IS speaking directly to "wisdom"...IMHO.

Ahh, yer gettin all deep again :O hahaha...so, do you mean the rest of the Body as opposed to the Bride are not as close to God?
