@Cachalot This is fine if you prefer to back out of the discussion. A lot of Christians wouldn't agree that they are unlady-like; but fine if this where you prefer to end the matter.

@Cachalot Isaiah 55 there fits in well with the end of 1 Peter 1: the power of the Word of God in effecting blessing... :)

@thelord's_pearl FYI...thread I started...

@thelord's_pearl Oh okay; anyway, the Meredith Andrews one is fairly into rock, but maybe not as hard rock as the Battle Lines track by Disciple.

@thelord's_pearl If you like fairly hard rock with Biblical lyrics, you might appreciate this one:

@thelord's_pearl Good tune; who is singing this, Jenn Johnson? :)

@Naomi25 In the end it's good to read Scripture and accept a balance of plain statements; rather than theorize in too abstract a manner - which might seem attractive to those schooled in logic, but does not necessarily accord with the plain statements of Scripture.

@Naomi25 I find that reading a passage such as John 6 can help lay a foundation to issues of Divine sovereignty and human responsibility.

I guess Salvatore's has been in and out and open and closed because of the continuing distancing...but on a good day it does a roaring trade... :)

@thelord's_pearl FYI....thread I started...

In Scripture there is the tribulation principle (John 16.33). And then, as distinct, there is the unique Great Tribulation (Matthew 24.21).

@Nancy Hebrews 12.2 comes to mind: 'Looking unto Jesus...'

@Nancy Especially after all this Covid business, solitude has become a big thing, right? The Psalmist clearly felt similarly.... Psalm 130" "Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. 2 Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 3 If thou...

But properly the rapture relates to the church, a heavenly people (as per Ephesians 1); Israel, an earthly people, is not raptured.

Hi; good to look at the theme of fellowship in John's First Epistle, chapter 1...

@Nancy Scripture is indeed all profitable, for doctrine, reproof, etc...

@Nancy From back a bit Seems like it, yes; you're right. It has long been a rite of passage at age 18; but like you imply it's almost become a rite of passage for grandmothers. No further comment...
