Have not really looked at it this way before...hmm. It brings me low...as in humility because He shows how I was riding on a horse I could barely mount it was so high....so yeah, ouch to see how horrid I was and didn't even know it. God knocked me off the saddle and put me in my place...

Okay, maybe not "hurt", more like being ashamed and sorrowful, the realization ofhow we can be so blind to ourselves. This all has to do what you and I had spoken about a little bit back. And you are correct about being controlled by our emotions as, the more we feed them the larger they grow...

If it was God, maybe He meant to "be fervent" in your supplications...but then, the "get upset" part sure does not sound quite right... Don't let her fool you Fluff. I know Stunned and, she can be a meanie :D;)

I still think He meant greater in "scope" not quality. Nothing to back that, just seems right to me.

Amazing the things He reveals...it hurts, for sure. Hard to recognize in ourselves but oh too easy to see in others. I imagine it could be compared to how Peter might have felt after denying Christ 3 times, when he swore that could never happen. It can be overwhelming to know how we have...

I am laughing inside... :rolleyes: :D

Ahaha...oh Wynona, you are too kind. "Lovely" isn't something I would describe myself as :D...but you are so sweet to say!

Eschatology, false teaching warnings, SO MUCH. I've never heard a true sermon at a CC. I grew up Catholic, 1st communion, confirmation, "religious" instructions. I learned not a thing UNTIL I opened The Word Of God and attended bible studies. I once asked a member here, who lives in Italy...

Yes brother, my brother and I are well aware of that. We do NOT sit under false teaching, ever.

Good post Stunned, I remember this particular struggle of yours, I had at one point thought that you actually DID lost the shop. I guess God had other plans :) I'm the opposite, I trust in His provisions implicitly...it's the SPIRITUAL that eludes me much of the time, the soul does not always...

I did not say that ALL of the apostles had written the NT. Calvin and Luther are just both "isms" and mean nothing to me. If the bible pans out after comparing the verses then...it is NOT that hard to understand the simple Gospel, we are told to FEED upon it as man does NOT love by bread...

Oh Mel! My beautiful India family, it is so good to see you all again! So happy you are continuing on with Gods work even in the midst of your very hard trials my prayers are always with you brother. Hug them all for me, and give them a holy kiss also. You are such a blessing to others!

You sound like one of my brothers May, and I think you just gave me an answer for him :) He bounces from one to another. He went to the one I think he really wants to stay at on Sunday and spoke with a man he knows from there, he said to the man that he is not sure WHERE he wants to hand his...

And who may I ask are these " excommunicated heretics"? Surely not Jesus's Apostles! As they were the same ones who DID write the N.T. You will believe anything the "church" tells you...why do they not actually teach through the written word in their "mass's"?

Never once heard any audible voice. Particular scripture verses come to mind at times out of no where, that pertain to the issue at the time I am praying to Him. Or, the time one of my sisters was driving me crazy on the phone (well, she always does, lol) LOVE her dearly, just cannot listen...

Perfect.

Don't take it to heart Hidden. You are well loved on here, and one of the most gentle and humble guys I know on here. Your answers are always seasoned with kindness.

"before the New Testament and the church wrote the New Testament " Maybe that's why the bible say's "faith comes by hearing the Word of God..." They learned by "hearing" back then, the same words that eventually were written down. Besides, pretty sure many back then could not even read.

"To whom much is given"...? I suppose it would depend on how one uses what He gives.

Yes, and some "believers" tremble. James 2:19 "“Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”"
