Seeing things as God sees them is not 'idolizing'. The Jews are the physical descendants from the twelve sons of Jacob. They make up the nation of Israel. God specifically created that nation of people for Himself. Call it a race of people or a nation or whatever. They are chosen by God...

Well, how could God rest? Stranger

You and Enoch111 are making a wrong assumption at the start. You act like edifying oneself is wrong. Paul never indicates this. There is nothing wrong with the believer building himself up in the Holy Spirit. And the gift of tongues does do that for the one with the gift. In your...

No, Paul is talking about the gift of tongues. And they are not languages of men. Paul is clear in (1 Cor. 14:18) that he spoke in tongues. Whether he did or not at his conversion or baptism is immaterial. Two miracles were evident in the coming of the Holy Spirit in (Acts 2). The...

Not so. It only confirms that if one doesn't have love then the gifts of the Holy Spirit are nothing. Stranger

I apologize for not giving the verse before. (John 5:17) "But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto and I work." Whatever you want to call yourself or Jesus doing...Jesus says, "My Father worketh...and I work." And that being on the Sabbath. Yes, I am aware of the Pharisees...

No it doesn't. (1 Cor. 13:1) "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels...." Stranger

Nice speech. But empty. God knows who He calls the Jews. The Jews know who they are. But you don't. But, again, nice speech. Stranger

I have been considering this question. As far as I can see, likeness doesn't matter one bit. The love of God towards the believer matters always. What believer ever measured up to the standard of God? Is there any believer that has not been a disappointment to God. No. None. Does God...

Don't mistake disagreeing with you as 'pride'. If you want to predict my 'fall', you will have to get in line, And it is pretty long. Stranger

The point is, Jesus and the Father worked on the Sabbath. So, what do you mean by 'keeping the Sabbath'? (Ex. 31:13) is too Israel. Did Jesus command you to keep the Sabbath? Stranger

Where did God say it was a sign between Him and his people? Yet concerning the sabbath Jesus said, when charged with breaking the Sabbath, "...My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." So though God rested on the Sabbath, yet God the Father and Son continue to work on the Sabbath. So...

Feel free to punch buttons. Apparently you don't want to be here, but God is forcing you to be here for everyone else's benefit. If you don't know why, neither does anyone else. And, welcome. Stranger

No, it is the only conclusion. Neither I or Paul said tongues in private is better than prophecy. That is what you are attempting to make me say. I am not reading between the lines, I am reading the lines. "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the church...." (1...

The book of (James) is often used to put believers under law, but I am not one of them. I believe (James 1:1). James is clear in (2:23) that the offering of Isaac was the fulfillment of the righteousness that was imputed to Abraham when he believed God. (Gen. 15:6) The exact same is true...

I'm not sure why you ask that. Why you observe or keep the Sabbath is what you should be asking? Do you keep it because it is part of the Law? Or do you keep it because you believe in your walk of faith God wants you to? Maybe you should ask, if I don't keep it, is it a sin? Stranger

I wrote enough of the verse to produce the meaning. From what I wrote you could see that Paul would rather prophecy in the assembly than speak in tongues. Nothing was being avoided. Paul's statement in (1 Cor. 14:18-19) is clear. He speaks in tongues more than anyone. Yet in the assembly...

(1 Cor. 14:18-19) "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with m y understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also...." Here Paul is declaring his use of tongues outside of the church. "Yet in the Church" Tongues...

Jacob inherited the blessing of the Abrahamic Covenant. See (Gen. 12:1-2) (27:28-29) (28:3-4) (28:13-15) And this covenant every believer is brought into. Stranger

Marymong The only dates in ch. 4 pertain to the beginning of the war, 1861, and Quantrills raid of the Federals at Independence on Aug. 10, 1862. No date given for when McCorkle joined Quantrill. It would have been prior to the raid on Independence. Stranger
