I hear that Gary, I too stick close to my KJV even though I realize there are no perfect translations out there. I started on it and it just feels weird reading some of the other versions. Even so, I believe God will reveal despite any errors or omissions :)

:D

I totally agree with you here. My issues would be first off...they would have to be raised because of surgeries and injuries from my past, and I would have to grow a green thumb, lol. I also live in the city and, we have many critters here as well but, I suppose there is chicken wire could be...

"But... some of them may be trained to act in better or worse ways according to man." I guess this could apply to humans too, lol. "As to the slur, that, I believe, was really for our benefit. God would have known the woman's heart, even as He knows your heart toward what men call animals."...

Agreed. And, to think that originally both humans and animals were to eat of the fruit of the trees and the food from the ground. Now a day's, the soil is so used up of any nutrients, it is expensive to eat all organic fruit, veggies and grains...but then, God will bless our food to our bodies...

Oh wow...I had never thought of wings...that would make much more sense, esp. after reading your post. How interesting!

I see what you are saying here John, and truth it is! YET-being an animal lover, the verse about the woman and Jesus calling her a dog just kind of always made me sad. I can't see Him using a slur towards her. Maybe it was not per se a "slur" yet, what else could it have been? I suppose it's...

He is not the author and finisher of his faith, Jesus is. Yet, we must WORK OUT OUR OWN salvation with fear and trembling." Hebrews 10:26 "If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains," Hebrews 6:4 "It is impossible...

"Why would He do that if it wasn't the serpent's fault? " This is something I liken to when Jesus cast out the demons possessing the man and sent them into the swine...who then, were driven into the water to drown...was that the swines fault? And, also, the "serpent" must have once had legs as...

"women tend to form doctrine out of their own personal experience." And, of course "men" do not ever do this :rolleyes:

Amen Helen, and bully for you!...it is a RACE!!! And, we are being saved each day as, His mercies are new every day ♥ If we do not continue in the race set before us. It can be a challenge to NOT become weary in well doing sometimes but, we press on...we fall, we get up. We were PROMISED...

Calvinists themselves do not like the term OSAS so, they use the "P" in TULIP- Perseverance of the saints, which makes it sound more biblical as, we ARE to persevere but...they honestly DO believe once saved always saved. I have been fighting their doctrines for years now and, am so over it...

He did not say that he does not "care" for these people he SAID he does not care for the TERM O.S.A.S.

For sure John! I often wonder if there will be no end to the knowledge of Him, even when all is said and done, and we will simply continue to grow...just wool gathering there. :) If we ever think we have it ALL...we will become complacent and stop dead in our growth. Not to mention, pride...

Welcome back Triumph! :)

It's so sad to see our friends suffer. I can only imagine how God feels...we are His children, after all. And, as we are subject to this world and its sickness and disease and horror...we should pray to have the faith, strength, and courage to get through ANY trial with His joy still in our...

Thank you Mark, God has answered all of my prayers for her, if it would be His will to miraculously restore her sound mind and, if that is not to be then, that she would be content and find her joy in Him again. ♥ "My wife and I joke that we both want simultaneous massive heart attacks, dead...

Very sad for sure. I'm sorry to hear this @marks , it kind of hits close to home as a very dear friend of over 4 decades, has vascular dementia as well. She lost her last sibling about one year ago and feels so alone without her family. She's in Assisted Living now and, still speaks of things...
