I'm very sad to hear that brother. Praying for you and your health, and your wife and children, and their health and spiritual well being, and that you have the peace and shalom of our Lord however things transpire. I hope it turns out that you aren't leaving us anytime soon, but whenever your...

These scriptures come to mind: Mat 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat...

Oil for our lamps, amen, otherwise it isn't shedding much light.

Is Brakelite SDA? I often don't remember what people are affiliated with, my memory is not what it used to be, so I am often only responding to individual posts apart from a larger context. I've seen this happen numerous times...talking with others about something and then the same subject...

Amen, excellent word, Halleluyah indeed! To my knowledge that command was spoken "to the Jew first" at Sinai, Abraham's sons according to the flesh (who were "ensamples" to the church that was to come). And may I just make mention that Abraham was called and chosen by God....he didn't decide...

Amen....love it when that happens....we must be hearing from the same Lord and His Spirit!

Yes, where also Abraham was.

It is just a figure of speech to mean being united with Abraham...being where he is.

Amen. And scripture refers to death as being "gathered to your fathers"....so that seems to be saying in death we will be gathered to where our fathers are....either to where our fathers of faith are, or for unbelievers, gathered to one's father the devil, where he is.

Conscious refers to the natural mind. Our hearts know when we do or believe wrong (disobey God's will), even if our mind doesn't yet. That is why man is without excuse. We rebel, plain and simple, on a heart/spirit level. We allow ourselves to be deceived essentially. The devil is...

Amen. The only thing that can survive His consuming fire is that which has been clothed/hid in, created, and forged of the same heavenly substance. That is our new man....which has been begotten of Him, His Spirit. As we are being proven/purified/refined/forged like silver or gold in the...

Amen...speaking of one who is cursed, I believe.

You are assuming no one would choose that because you think it is just a matter of the carnal mind, and are discounting spiritual realities. Many would and do choose that because they are spiritually deceived and in darkness. These things are a matter of the heart/spirit, not the natural mind...

I'm not sure why you linked me to your post, but whether that story was a parable or literal, it seems apparent that the rich man wasn't going anywhere but where he was in hell, in spite of asking.

There are divers administrations as well as operations of that gift.

I'm not talking about extremes of man, brother, just Godly wisdom that teaches us to walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, and decently and in order within the church.

I would ask @ProDeo too, how was asking and pleading working out for the rich man after he died and was in hell, who Jesus spoke about?

Thank you for your lovely birthday greetings sisters! :D:balloons:

I realize there are earthly lords and kings, and angelic principalities too, who are all lesser than THE Lord of lords, and King of kings. The name of Jesus is above every name. These are some further scriptures that speak to His divinity: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with...

Goodness me, aren't we called to exercise wisdom at any time? There are lots of things you can "give to the poor" that isn't made in a mint. And yes we should pray about what to give if we aren't sure about a situation....that is called asking God for His wisdom and counsel.
