Hard to say, because four divided by two equals two too (lol), so I will have wait on the Lord for that one.

You know, it's interesting, because there are learning disabilities in my family. I never used to fully realize it for a long time because I grew up with it. Just kind of noticed and thought that there are wide variations in natural intelligence but not fully realizing and fully facing for...

Oh well you are talking to a half-senile old lady here. Dumb as a skunk sometimes. But you seem to be reacting to being teased. Sincerely hope you will seek God about that Epi. "all aboard the horse-in-cart" lol....I needed a good laugh today, nothing personal. Laughter is good medicine.

Amen, and I think even Abraham had faith because he was first called by God, so not really of his own.

He is not spiteful at all............He is simply just. Which is a righteous thing. And that is why He went even further in righteousness so as to provide a way that man could escape His justice. The second mile. And it is the ONLY way.

It's a good thing then, that the intelligence of man is not highly valued in the kingdom of God.

Oh I get it, your sin is our fault for exasperating you. It has been noticeable all along how you always justify yourself instead of being honest and simply (humbly) acknowledging your wrong. That is why you can't and haven't changed in the nearly four years I've been conversing with you...

Amen. And LOL. All hail King Horse-In-Cart. Need to bring a shovel and a big pail on wheels around here sometimes, ha-ha-ha.

It seems like you really can't help yourself, can you. You have to be demeaning to people because apparently you still need to be delivered from the power of sin perhaps? I don't know about anyone else but I 'm not going to take credit/glory for what righteousness I have. I wonder how many...

I'm not seeing anything there to suggest that Cornelius was made "holy" in the sense you are talking about. He was receiving the gospel and Holy Spirit for the first time.........because he still needed it to be saved. There's no reason to think he wouldn't need to grow and pay the price for...

God's word is likened to the washing of the water of the word........it has power to cleanse us of sins so that we can be righteous through the Holy Spirit, not of ourselves. Old covenant people had to try to rely on their own righteousness because Jesus had not yet died and been resurrected...

I would say the bible is insufficient without the Holy Spirit..........we need oil for our lamps.

We need to read and search the scriptures like the Bereans certainly. But understanding them all is a another thing. That goes hand in hand with growth, which happens over time. And there is the aspect that we pay a price for truth and to grow.........like where Jesus spoke about the one...

I can't respond to your every comment but yes. However, it doesn't mean everyone will see what the scripture is showing. The things that Jesus preached, the gospel, can be shown in OT scripture but it didn't mean that the religious leaders of Jesus' day could "see" those things in their...

Amen. AKA "the spirit of the world".........that is where their unity lies, just as our unity is in the Spirit of Christ. It's very sad to see that spirit of the world invading large swaths of the church. Not all the Israelites left "Egypt" to follow the Lord in the wilderness when the time...

Where it says "by peace he will destroy many".....brother I believe this is speaking of a false peace that causes people to think they are at peace with God when they are not. In other words, nominal belief........which is the enemy of true faith. However, we will see these spiritual things...

No one can make another person "see" it. But just consider, we know we have not left a literal country called Egypt, and that we are not traversing a literal desert wilderness in our life, or trying to conquer and possess a literal piece of real estate called the Promised Land. For the...

If I may just interject....we are thinking too highly of ourselves if we think it's possible to understand all scripture by simply reading/studying it. Our growth is organic...a living phenomenon......understanding generally tends to go hand in hand with actual spiritual growth I...

Sister I agree in principle with your post.....but I think it might be too harsh to say our Christian walk is not genuine....I consider it to be a walk with mixture, sometimes it's God, and other times it's us. There are times for sure when the Lord is working through the believer by His Spirit...

I can't keep up here very well today but I'll try to answer this: The Word made flesh (Jesus)..... speaks to us in parables and without a parable spake He not to them. That is an important key to understanding the word. That whole saga of the Israelites leaving Egypt, traversing through the...
