I was speaking not only of those who have passed away without Christ, but of believers too. Also was talking about physical death...I know there are the walking dead passing us every day (those not in Christ). "I am of the opinion that the phrase 'Know Nothing' in Scripture has to do with the...

As I've heard said - "We (Christians) have a new DNA now and God uses a blood economy..." :)

Too many scriptures pertaining to the fact that the dead know nothing while they are in the grave. And the times Jesus would say things like, about Lazarus "He is sleeping"...and others. So no, I do not believe in it.

"...that the house church movement will return in great strength in the future, and this may indeed be what sparks it." I sure hope this will be the case!

It's called "chemistry" lol. :D

:D

Tru dat! The Son will know the moment God speaks it. And, even if we can know the "season" but not the day, what would it matter or change? Are we not to be ready regardless??? Is it to NOT take "us" by surprise?

Ha! Makes me wonder, was there any other Prophet other than John The Baptist who did have a "good" report? They weren't invited to any back yard barbecues I bet :D I will say that they were to be feared! Not adored and honored like they are today, giving people words that did NOT come from...

"Any gardener knows the meaning of this term. But a fool says "God loves me, He does not see my sin" Dead on the vine...chop chop :D The "Church" has become lulled into sleep - by "leaders" giving their sheep no real meat and always the milk, over and over again when they should be already...

It is a lack of faith, yes...but, if we have zero control over something, wouldn't we rather put these things (worries, fretting, being anxious) in His hands anyway?? He is faithful...even when we are not. He said to be anxious for NOTHING. Our faith can move mountains :)

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...
