"unless we all are in agreement or having love for one another...we shouldn't partake given those times." <---In this case, I don't see much breaking of bread. I find not one person in agreement with each other 100%. Not to mention, Jesus Himself broke bread with Judas... "So I refuse to...

This subject I am sure has been done many times before but, what I've come to believe is that to "examine ourselves" before partaking of the Lords Supper has nothing to do with, looking down and trying to "get right with God", ask forgiveness for all the sins we might have forgotten so we can be...

"What is the branch that is in Christ, but does not bear fruit? What does it mean that the Father carries this one away, but the branch not in Christ is burned? What is the difference between these?" I would say that the branch that is in Christ but does not bear fruit could relate to the...

Lol...hard to imagine a former "believer"...how can one walk away once they have tasted and seen that He is good? Makes me believe their seeds fell on hard soil....?

I've come to agree. Been back and forth on this a few times but, too many scriptures seem to pan it out than not. "and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection." Luke 20:36 "I write these things to you who...

OSAS or as Calvinists put it "Perseverance of the saints" is not only a Calvinistic doctrine. There are many opinions as to what the scriptures say, and mean. We can come up with scriptures that fit both views.

"Do we even know what entering into rest means?" To me, entering into His rest means total submission KNOWING that His ways are way higher than mine, and His plans are ALWAYS good. Doubt and unrest can slip in from time to time as we are still battling sin and the flesh, believing without...

You are one of the most honest persons on here Stunned. And, God surely honors that in His children. Pretending is pure denial, IMO.

Not a vegan but, I also don't eat a lot of meat. I will always use real butter, and LOVE cheese. To each their own as God had deemed all things clean to eat for our food. It's either a personal matter to you or, a spiritual one?

I'm sorry Rita...if a man who you are married to really meant his vows, he would never look at your outward appearance that way, ever! I can see how that would have hurt :( If a woman wants to wear a skirt and heels within reason...more power to her. If another woman is more comfortable in...

Well, God wasn't too keen on Esau and the Pharisees...

Hi DNB, I obviously do agree on some of what you say. Yet, I must distinguish between this online Christian board and the physical local body. Things like Judging and possibly putting someone out of the congregation for Satan to have his way with is one thing but...on here, it is just not...

:D

"Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God." 1 Cor. 4:5 "For God will bring every deed into...

Good question..

Hello DNB, I will never say someone is lying about these things. Just because I have not experienced them, and yes...do find the holy laughing and gyrating on the floor disturbing, who am I to question if God has not given this to some? My question would be: Why? for what purpose? Not my...

Thank you for the feedback @yasoooo God bless and keep you and yours.

No... never claimed that, even though I might have "liked" a post that did speak of it in that way. I don't ever think to limit our limitless God, EVER.

Yes, I'm sure it was real for them. It just has not happened with me :(

It has taken me decades to get where I am comfortable with God being who He is, and Christ will never leave me. My second protestant Church I attended was very Pentecostal. I wont delve into that experience but won't forget it. Since I wanted so bad to "speak in tongues, and get "slain" in...
