Ultimately, I believe that indeed all of our choices matter in God's eyes. It is not ambiguous to God. If I am surrendering to the Holy Spirit and following the lead of the Holy Spirit always, then I will always be making the right choices. If I have not yet overcome the world of me as Jesus...

I hope that what you wrote was correct. Can we leave it there?

If we are missing a necessary mark, but still we are really pressing toward Him will He not correct us? As for the brother against brother on this and other forums, if they or we are really brothers in Christ, will not God where necessary resolve any difficulties? Even when disagreeing, we need...

Yes, I must make choices, but the ones that matter are the ones that God has put before me. The Truth I believe is that Jesus is Truth. How well does any man know Jesus? The answer for any man is the portion of Truth that he has... or so I believe. Does not God look at what each of us has and...

Even so... that God ultimately gives any increase. I am old, but I have not yet finished my course.

I wouldn't say he is my teacher although I have certainly learned things from him. The basics of what I posted on this thread were from things I learned long before I met him. I am still learning and growing my friend. Only God gives any real increase.

Why must I make a choice? What if no man were an apostle today? Would this mean that God would not save anyone today?

No need to comment on what I posted at any time.

I agree that the apostles who wrote scriptures were inspired by God to do so. Having said that... who among even the apostles never quenched the Spirit of God? God has not revealed to me the answer to that question. How would I know any more about any bishops?

Below is a writing of mine from several years ago which mentions three levels of Life [three heavens] and one final death. [I have made several revisions today to hopefully clarify.] "Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily...

Thank you for these words. I will put M. Coverdale high on my list of things to read...

"The greatest of these is LOVE"! Even so... and God is LOVE. Should He not then also be in us, directing all of our steps? Yes indeed... but who among us is not too often quenching the Spirit within and walking then according to his own blindness? Help us dear Lord! Amen! And also... Php...

No, I have not read M. Coverdale. All of the good things to read are too much for me anymore. I do try, but my reading list will never be finished unless I live for many more years. I did listen once to Mr. Utley at your suggestion but things simply do not easily stick anymore. I will have to go...

I cannot read all of your...for me... too lengthy posts with understanding. Perhaps you are speaking the right things. God knows. 1co 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way.

Yes, in light of Scripture! Yes as we are in the Spirit and led by the Spirit. For many years I have strived to be there always. Daily I am into the Spirit, reading my Bibles and daily talking with God. Without Him I am nothing. Others must walk their own walk and talk with Him themselves. I...

How does God operate? Do you suppose that I know the answer to that question? Some on this forum from what I see seem to know His answer often or even always. Might they be wrong? Are we not supposed to live by faith rather than by knowledge? What do we know? Perhaps, believing that "we...

Was my smilie too big?

Please do not read into the words I wrote more than what I wrote. Why do you presume that only men in designated positions in one organized church group have been inspired by God? Consider what Jesus said here: Lu 9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy...
