"women tend to form doctrine out of their own personal experience." And, of course "men" do not ever do this :rolleyes:

Amen Helen, and bully for you!...it is a RACE!!! And, we are being saved each day as, His mercies are new every day ♥ If we do not continue in the race set before us. It can be a challenge to NOT become weary in well doing sometimes but, we press on...we fall, we get up. We were PROMISED...

Calvinists themselves do not like the term OSAS so, they use the "P" in TULIP- Perseverance of the saints, which makes it sound more biblical as, we ARE to persevere but...they honestly DO believe once saved always saved. I have been fighting their doctrines for years now and, am so over it...

He did not say that he does not "care" for these people he SAID he does not care for the TERM O.S.A.S.

For sure John! I often wonder if there will be no end to the knowledge of Him, even when all is said and done, and we will simply continue to grow...just wool gathering there. :) If we ever think we have it ALL...we will become complacent and stop dead in our growth. Not to mention, pride...

Welcome back Triumph! :)

It's so sad to see our friends suffer. I can only imagine how God feels...we are His children, after all. And, as we are subject to this world and its sickness and disease and horror...we should pray to have the faith, strength, and courage to get through ANY trial with His joy still in our...

Thank you Mark, God has answered all of my prayers for her, if it would be His will to miraculously restore her sound mind and, if that is not to be then, that she would be content and find her joy in Him again. ♥ "My wife and I joke that we both want simultaneous massive heart attacks, dead...

Very sad for sure. I'm sorry to hear this @marks , it kind of hits close to home as a very dear friend of over 4 decades, has vascular dementia as well. She lost her last sibling about one year ago and feels so alone without her family. She's in Assisted Living now and, still speaks of things...

"All of you...feed all this back to me when it is me who is having a "wintery time" of testing. Okay ?" Lol Helen...I got yer back! :D

"Pray through until you know the answer is on the way...then don't pray any more, but start praising for the answer that is coming." Spot on Helen! He answered ALL prayers! This is how I have learned to pray, thanking Him for the prayers already prayed, and know His will be done! When not...

"because then we know we are praying in accordance with his will." And...to me anyhow...this brings on that "Peace that surpasses all understanding" ♥ Good post Pat. xo P.S. Since we know Gods will is that none should perish...we CAN KNOW that He is surely softening her heart and...

Yup! :)

Nah John, you're not "strange", just "peculiar" :)

For sure! Many things he say's remind me of @Episkopos take on some things. The delivery is different between them but, I see them both saying some of the same things only in different ways?

Welcome to the forum @Shanmugam ! For the record, nothing you said in your video was boring, not at all! "God is one...the essence of existence" <---- Awesome brother, He is all in all...your humility and the simple way you speak, easy to understand. Much food for thought. I do hope you...

Does for me, lol.

"then panic prayers are always at hand ...mine is- " O Lord, O Lord O Lord....I have no words..just hold me. " :)" Good post Helen, Your panic prayers kind of remind me of the story of Watchman Nee and speaking "Oh God" over and over for 24 hours on his knees! ♥

"and if you check out normal pregnancy, fetuses jump around in the womb about 30 times per hour, and in this instance, all the shouting and exuberance in meeting Mary was enough to shock her fetus into reacting." I must say, Mr. B. that you have some very different and strange ways of looking...
