    A stranger to Christ

    Sorry, it's Aussie slang, and I didn't think it appropriate to spell it all out...It just means someone who likes to throw in a comment or alike, just to see if it can spark a problem between others....I have no idea if has ever been an actual occupation, although I do recall seeing a neighbor...

    Was James confused?

    @Stranger Great post...Very concise.......I seem to recall a verse where Jesus is quoted as saying :" Anyone who gives even a cup of water to one of these little ones, will by no means lose their reward". Seems to me, that as long as we hold onto Jesus and receive His Righteousness, there are no...

    Is the Bible lying ?... Was Jesus?

    Ok Job...This saddens me to tell you the truth, and I can certainly refrain from writing to you...What I cannot do, and I hope that is not what you meant, is to drop the one and only thing in this life I have absolute surety of, the one thing which makes me immovable, and that is the Living Word...

    Great point....this is no doubt why there is still so very much confusion and division

    A stranger to Christ

    The difference is, that the disciples were sharing what they had experienced with people who had not heard the Good News, I have been trying ( at times ) to share it with the ones who are supposed to HAVE HEARD.. I have not had the sort of opposition from unbelievers or those who needed to...

    Satan - who was he in the book of Job?

    Ah yes lol...Now I'm with you...It is astonishing, is it not ? That the very thing we are told we are saved from becoming the most bitterly contested Truth from our Lord.....Not good !

    Satan - who was he in the book of Job?

    Hey 'bbyrd' sorry can you please make that a little clearer for me ? I think mankind forgets that it is our spirits that were created in the image ( spirit as our Father ) and likeness ( His character, and way of being ) of our Father, and then clothed with flesh, for the single purpose to...

    A stranger to Christ

    @amadeus Thank you so much John .....I have not stopped being confused these past few decades of just how few Christians are happy to hear that Jesus is actually right with us whether we can see Him or not....It is a complete paradox to me ?? I was just thinking, through history we have had...

    If all of the Church is the Bride of Christ who are the guests?

    For sure ! I do actually step away quite often and pray about things, and then sometimes various verses come to my remembrance as well as memories, which can put things in perspective, but like everyone else, I am a floored human being trying to have fellowship with other floored human beings...

    A stranger to Christ

    He has shown me tons of things over the many years, I honestly don't think i would ever run out of new things to discover....Not in the bible and not in nature...That's just our wonderful Father...

    A stranger to Christ

    You know very well that if I did, I would just invite a whole bunch of remarks against it...as I have told you before , I choose who I share those things with, and I get to know them a little better first as well, and they to know me better also... It would be an exercise in futility....

    Satan - who was he in the book of Job?

    I agree, we do have spirits within us..But I also believe other beings who were never born according to blood and water, but only made as spirits, exist.....

    Satan - who was he in the book of Job?

    Wasn't just a vision, at one point I was leaning against Him, He looked like a fairly normal person, (But He had given me the understanding of who he was/is) except it was as if He was standing in sunshine all the time, whereas it was a dark room and the middle of the night...

    Uhhh, any chance you could send me one? Adore all the colors during the autumn change...Sounds just lovely !

    The Bible.

    Absolutely ! My point was just that written things are up for interpretation, as we see the people doing with both O.T. and N.T, and again as it rightly puts it here, it is by the witness of the Holy Spirit, which aids our faith, that we are purified, not by just reading everything written...

    Satan - who was he in the book of Job?

    Thank you Amadeus ....Yeah it's a 'prickly' one isn't it ? Like you I prefer to wait until the Lord reveals it, as yet I really haven't even thought to ask Him, had just accepted that there are adversaries to humans...Seemed to me to be truth ! Thanks for taking the time, I do appreciate your...

    Satan - who was he in the book of Job?

    You are so right, it doesn't ! I have read Gen 3 many times...However where did the 'voice' from the snake come from? How can Jesus say that if a person is cleared from demons, he risks being 'invaded' by 7 more worse spirits ( if his house has been cleaned but remains empty, so his body has...

    The Bible.

    @101G Hey, thanks that was a good post...I am glad you corrected me on that, I had misunderstood you... A witness however is more than just a record...The word witness can mean 'martyr' as an example, but mostly it is a 'legal; term. One cannot speak forth as a witness, if one has not...
