    Giants In America

    I feel bad in as much as I have to disagree with you on this, the reason being that I had been brought up in a family where God or religion in general was a totally taboo subject. Then when I was 30 years old, I had what people now call a 'near death experience' where Jesus revealed Himself to...

    Ok, I can see what you mean there. I can share with you what Jesus once said to me, and it was the most emphatic I had ever heard His voice. He said :" I am NOT a religion but REALITY !" ( the emphasis was His, not mine here ). Not 'A' reality, not 'THE' reality, just reality......I prefer to...

    Nobody Can "Let" God Do Anything.

    Since you are new here, I guess we will all have to let you comment 'slide', but if you had spent any time reading the posts 'ByGrace' put up on this forum, you would not come out with such a venomous comment right off the bat. By the way, do not take it upon yourself to speak for me, as to what...

    Nobody Can "Let" God Do Anything.

    He showed me once that we are to believe ONLY, not believe mixed with doubts. One example He showed me was that if a person, in order to say, save a drowning child, runs out on top of the water ( in the same way Jesus had walked on it ), while that persons faith is solid, so is the 'substance'...

    I certainly agree that it cannot be understood without the help of the Holy Spirit, but I cannot see it as Jesus' dead flesh, as He was resurrected ( His body also, which He is still able to show Himself in ). I learned Jesus is real, from Him, and did not even get a hold of a Bible till 6 1/2...

    Pray for my wife

    I am sorry, I sent a little reply to you, which was just supposed to help you know that a operation on ones back can be done successfully, but when I read it back after, it seemed 'self serving' but I had not meant it to be that way. Hadn't meant it to be about me, had hoped the example would...

    Pray for my wife

    Hi....we certainly will........A little encouragement to you and your wife....I have had three separate surgeries on my spine ( a few years apart ) and praise The Lord, I'm still walking, even though the first surgeon told me that I shouldn't have been. According to him, I should have been...

    Importance of Doctrine

    Exactly ! I thought I did write a little about that? Must have been somewhere else lol . Perhaps there is a bit of 'drama queen ' in everyone and that's why they added all they added, to make it a lot more complicated ? How about those who would go around all day and whip themselves till their...

    Again, there has to be a reason He said He would send The Holy Spirit to teach men all things. Nowhere does He mention bringing about a book for us to follow, and I am absolutely certain, that if that is what He had wanted or does want, he would have made that clear. Why be here with us even...

    How Do You Bear Witness Counts

    To me The Word Of God is Jesus.....I have attended quite a few churches in the past. and yes they called the Bible that too, but they all taught it differently.

    Catholics

    Of course we are, but that shouldn't be used as an excuse by some who say they are believers, to be rude and condescending to the others......You think?

    Catholics

    I have met quite a few wonderful people who were Muslims, and yes, they could put many a so called Christian to shame.

    Catholics

    But are we not asked by Jesus not to bring offense and not to be easily offended ? I don't think a mutual admiration society is any good either, but things that bring glory to God or glorifies anything He has or is doing, that would be nice, at least once in a while. I don't get frustrated as...

    Catholics

    I can certainly see that I have been naive. There is still a part of me that is like a small child who doesn't understand why people can't just be nice to one another lol , a bit embarrassing at my age, but that's me. My parents had a very confrontational relationship which I remember being very...

    What part of the Bible are you studying?

    Tabletalk.......But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’” I know this is what it says in the Bible, but I can tell you that that is not always the case. I had been raised in an atheist family, even the subject...

    The gift of tongues

    Hello Josho........The first time I heard anyone speaking in tongues was when three Christians laid their hands on me and started prying for me to receive The Holy Spirit, and when they started speaking like that, I could not help laughing under my breath, I thought it sounded ridiculous, and I...

    How Do You Bear Witness Counts

    Isn't every person taught, by whatever church they go to, via this way ? What else is the writings in the Bible other than 'anecdotal' evidence ? For us to know whether something is true, surely it takes the Holy Spirit to confirm it. I personally think it is a very dangerous thing to assume...

    If I were the devil

    From how I understand it, Yes Jesus is patiently waiting for us to turn to Him. The devil however has no such courtesy, he just barges into any persons life, if he can find the tiniest of openings, whether they want him to or not, and then has the audacity to accuse them of wanting it ! Easy to...

    Importance of Doctrine

    Looking in my Bible Dictionary under 'Doctrine' it goes on to say the following :" The earliest doctrine of the Christian church declared that 1) Jesus was the Messiah, the Christ........2) That God raised Him from the dead...........3) That salvation comes by faith in His Name. These three...
