If you hang em, you don't need to worry about castration. Stranger

Historical Mary I have the book you recommended. I gave the quote in post #54 that provided, as I said, things I could respect. Why do you avoid what I say? Why do you avoid my quesitons in post #55? Do you have this book you recommended? What in it is there that you think I will be...

Yes, God manifests His glory in various ways. And we are the benefactors of that. I guess my point is that we have not added to His glory. We have not made God more glorious than He already is. We simply become a point where His glory is displayed. Stranger

There are many good books out there. I always had some Bibles I picked up pretty cheap. I would give them one of those and tell them to read the Gospel of John. Then go back to the beginning and start with Genesis. A book that was of interest to me as a new believer was 'Who Moved the...

We can reflect God's glory. We do not add to His glory. Stranger

Again, fruit and works are not the subject. Eternal security. Again, our fruit and works add nothing to God. They benefit us. "no difference in spiritual things from one human to the next". Gee that is deep. I thought we were talking about the kingdom of heaven. It isn't just...

I have thought on it. Nothing you or I do contribute to God's glory whatsoever. We benefit without a doubt in our fruit and works. We add nothing to God in our fruit and our works. Just like our sin takes nothing away from God, neither does our works or fruit add anything to God. The...

He wouldn't do it again. And all these others you claim are out there would be on notice. Stranger

Herein lies the problem. Stranger

And when they act on it,...a loop and 13 knots. Called 'prevention'. Stranger

We are talking about eternal security. Not rewards or proofs of our faith. All rewards and fruits and interests are for our benefit. Not God's. Do you think we contribute to God's wealth by our works? Do you think God is worried about making a profit? Silly. But yes, I have heard of...

Good analysis of the old saying. I do that myself. Have you ever heard of being 'up the river without a paddle'. I never did understand that one. If your up the river, then you came from down river. If your up the river and lose your paddle, you can always float back. Being down the...

And would not this be the all important reason that our faith has already established us 'in Christ', so that my 'will' no longer affects my salvation; my eternal security. My faith, not my will, placed me in Christ. Thus my will cannot remove me from Christ. We are secured both here and...

I do believe we will have our unique personalities in Heaven, and we will not be robots. See post#216 of my further explanation of how that plays out in our eternal security. To me the 'will' is complicated. Again, I am just thinking out loud here. If you have your own will, which you do...

Here is another quote from the book you recommended me. (The Devil Knows How To Ride, Edward E. Leslie, p. 34) "Those who have written about Quantrill since Edwards and Connelley have tended to follow their extremes, presenting him either as a heroic Confederate knight-errant or a brilliant...

Well, yes, if Haman had been allowed to do what he wanted to do there would have been no Messiah. But Haman would not succeed even if Esther and Mordecai were not in the position they were in. Which Mordecai recognized. (4:14) If God is willing to provide a deliverance for His people...

And this is all the more powerful when you see that it is Christ who interprets (Ps. 8:2) as equating praise with strength. See. (Matt. 21:16) The Psalmist said 'strength'. Christ said 'praise'. Stranger

Marymog You spoke of the Rev. Cordley in his book "A History of Lawerence" and cite some his comments on Quantrill's raid of Lawrence. There were several raids on Lawrence Kansas. Are you sure you are referencing the correct one by Quantrill? The book you recommended, that I have now, (The...

Yes, they fasted, and wailed, and some put on sackcloth and ashes. Which was so foreign to Esther that she sent Mordecai a change of clothes. (4:4) We are never told they prayed. Never told that God heard their prayer. God doesn't even have His name written in this book. They deny Him...
