The one thing I fail to understand in all this "Satan did it" nonsense so many people spout is this: THE FRUIT. If whatever thing you guys are against, and swear is from Satan...….. Why does it change people's lives to desire to follow God? And why do they go around giving Him glory and...

Sniff, sniff, I feel somewhat better now. (Got any cookies and milk lying around somewhere?) ;)

JiF, The post above, # 91, got a "LIKE" from me at first...… But, I had to remove it because the longer you talked, the more you went right back to some of your wild ideas.

So, maybe we should stop doing it? They love Jesus and try to show it the only way they have been taught... just like the rest of us. It doesn't mean any of us have a "lock" on being correct.

A man I admired greatly wrote this: I want to be more loving in my heart. I want to be more loving. Often there are good and sufficient reasons for exercising what seems a clear direct resentment. Again and again I find it hard to hold in check the sharp retort, the biting comeback, even...

Wait a minute! I thought I already got it going? :(

Thank you. (First story I ever started.)

Maybe something like this? A careful study of the Bible reveals that those promises of the Old Testament were not unconditional promises at all. repeatedly, the nation of Israel was warned of the dire consequences of disobedience. Both blessing and curse were set before them, depending on...

Can I start? "Upon awakening.….."

All that one does is say we are reasonably safe from a worldwide flood. :eek:

My sister-in-law is 82, and in her early 70's, did a marathon, and in her late 70's climbed Diamondhead with her grandson. I may not match that, but she has given me ideas.

Well, you guys have convinced me. I am not going to get old.

Everyone of us throws "absolute truth" right out the window when a child asks us what we think of their artwork...…... Or, does a husband always tell the truth when his wife asks how he likes her new hair or dress?

Gotta agree with Reggie here. There were some conditional relationships involved, and they chose not to go along with them.

Yes, fasting reminds us that we are sustained “by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4). Food does not sustain us; God sustains us. In Christ, “All things hold together” (Col. 1:17). Therefore, in experiences of fasting we are not so much abstaining from food as we are...

Actually, she was almost fanatical about fasting. I never really knew her all that well, but I remember the family considered her a little extreme.

Kathryn Kuhlman was my aunt. And, "Yes", she did fast.

Dopey, We sympathize with you at your victim-mentality sensitivity over this latest Omarosa tantrum. But, try to get over it offline. That kind of sobbing you seem to need to spread really isn't appreciated here.

The last paragraph of the story says a lot. "We will often blindly and ignorantly cut off our noses, to spite our faces in order not to appear 'out of step' with Orthodoxy." (Even when the stupidity of our actions or beliefs is obvious.)

I am actually only 1 pound over the top range of my weight chart... so, I'm working on it.
