It has always been my understanding that "few" will make it into The Kingdom as, many will choose the wide road. And, what say you about: "And, If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" 1 Peter 4:18 So it sure seems very few will be saved...

Well, what I heard/read from the beginning was my little Psalms and Proverbs booklet I received when making my First Holy Communion. Of course, I couldn't wait to read it, not understanding it of course, I was like...6 years old I think?...I thought it was the whole bible in miniature, ha...

Little story about one of my brothers. My parents (Mom, really) left the CC when I was like 11 years old. She started taking us to a Lutheran Church. When I turned about 15 yrs. old...I stopped going with her. There was much to do at that Church over money being directed towards something...

Good word Chris, The "fear and trembling" scripture used to throw me. I now see it as you have mentioned above, reverential fear. Unbelievers should be trembling just like Satan does...but, we, being His children are to "boldly" approach His throne, and how could we ever dare to do that if...

"...is when they want to keep their spots of "authority" over others." An old Church of mine was rife with this kind of thing. Some folks would be working in the same ministry for years, some for decades and, boy they do not like change. For instance, I do not have many talents, partially...

Hi Rita! I've never heard that scripture taught in quite this way - "...a challenge to the oppressor"...hmmm, yet something else to look into! I've always likened it to being insulted, and to accept the insult without retaliation. As for the rest of that verse, I cannot imagine that God would...

Hi Marks, I have asked the same thing, concerning evangelization several times and never got one answer to it.

It's more the L in limited atonement that bothers most.

Not sure where you got "You seem to be saying you don't need people praying for you..." I never would say or infer that! If someone were to offer to pray for me, I can't thank them enough! The only intercessor we need is Jesus, He opened the way directly to the Throne of God when He died so...

Thank you Epi, There is a peace that was never there before, no worries about catastrophes or my roof flying off as, just knowing He would provide a way. I'm also aware that there is much more TO be crucified yet... Thanks for your explanation and, I so hope to actually walk in His Spirit one day.

Human "feelings" are so fickle. Wonderful, thoughtful post. Now, take your daughters advice and rest your orbs :D

I pray daily for specific people and those in general. Do you not? I pray for and thank God daily for my provisions. He is my provider and the lover of my soul. And, yes of course Jesus is our personal intercessor. Our WAY to God The Father and free to ask of Him anything at all, hopefully...

What I mean by "intercessory" is, prayers for other people...not my self although...Jesus IS my intercessor to God The Father for my needs.

"I'm confused." Why??

@Episkopos Having a hard time with this computer Epi, just almost finished replying to your reply and it went whack a do on me! I'll come back later...thanks :)

Hi Epi, May I ask, what is your idea of what holiness should look like in a Christian? Gods holiness, of course...just like Gods righteousness. It is not our own, correct? And also, what would you say differentiates walking in the Spirit vs being led by the Spirit? And remember, tell me in...

Indeed. The TULIP doctrine kills, steals and destroys ones faith and assurance of their salvation. The Holy Spirit is the One who convicts the WORLD of sin and righteous living. Our own consciences convict us or condemn us. I have yet to get an answer to certain Calvinist's on here as to the...

BTW-I am speaking of the intercessor of us between God and His people...do NOT need a human being...please. And for the record, I do not care about the "index" of my bibles, I only read scripture which is GOD BREATHED, it is a LIVING word, not a dead one that we must need a human being to...

"First and foremost: 1 John 2:27 27But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." The Holy Spirit...

Amen Pearl, We can now go boldly before His throne, we need no human being to be the intercessor because we now have direct access through Jesus.
