Until you have "finished" your course: 2ti 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 2ti 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

1jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Ge 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. As for being content with one wife, Jesus also confirms what someone has already cited here from Gen 2: Mt 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye...

Because at times there may be a doubt in our minds, would not the best thing to be certain our heart is right, to not ever use the doubtful word or the phrase in such a way? The violation, if there is one, would be, I believe, in accord with what is in our heart. If our mind is doubtful, what...

Thank you for your detailed response. I have not changed my mind as I have seen too many things and generally disagree with some of your conclusions. Have a good day.

Understood! Thanks for interacting with me.

Welcome to the forum.

Praying.

Years ago I began each morning, and sometimes more often, to strive to begin in the lowest room. After a while [days, weeks or years] of reading and studying the scriptures at times I would find my head swelling with pride. "I knew so much!" [Hmmm, not really]. Now I know that next to God I...

Did Jesus know who would be a brother or sister? Were they only among the physical Jews [Israelites or children of Jacob]? Why did Jesus engage the Samaritan woman by the well even speaking to her about Living Water? [John 4:9] Why did he first ignore seemingly test the Syrophenecian woman and...

Ec 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Ec 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Ec 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; Ec 3:4...

This may indeed hold true for some people. How well do we see or understand the things of God? Re 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint...

Those in the OT could not bear to look on the face of Moses, so he covered himself. Moses, led by God, was leading the Way, but the people rebelled against him and effectively against God himself. Nu 14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt...

2co 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. 2co 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. 2co 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn...

Aye... the prophets or seers we read about in the OT had a special vision for the moment of something of God to help or advise people seeking it. Now, the Holy Spirit in us provides us with "ear to hear" and "eyes to see" if we are not too often or even regularly quenching the Spirit. Paul...

Even so... Let us continue to open up our and our hearts to Him as we read, study and pray. Lu 14:8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; Lu 14:9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to...

@BarneyFife Another old friend not seen too often by me. Hold on my friend to our Lord always!

This is one of applications provided by my Strongs. Perhaps for a moment, the moment when the Seer sees something, he is in effect close to being face to face with God. Is that not what the "then" is here? 1co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in...

You speak I would guess of becoming lonely as a result. I believe I know what that is. I never had lots of close friends and many of the ones I had have left this natural life ahead of me for whatever reward is theirs. May God richly bless you and comfort as you continue to serve Him.

Thank you for the kind words. Too many things to keep up with here, so I do not try. I do watch for familiar names and interesting topics. I have my own little study in my daughter's house with my computer and my books. My wife, during the day, mostly inhabits our bedroom. I read daily but...
