It is still my belief also, for now...I will know when God shows and confirms ♥

I can see this for sure...and, I can also see a slew of self righteous and critical people there. I hope they like the out doors :eek: And I really hope I won't be there...would rather perish.

I hear what you are saying here. In my mind "eternity" encompasses the past as well as the future...everlasting though, I CAN understand but, I have to wonder why God would want this to begin with. That "outer darkness" is a tough one for me to understand.

Yes, and Screwtape Letters is my fave of his....just awesome.

"Adam is told after the fall that he will have to work " Ah, yes...correct. My bad :oops:

For sure, "and do not give the devil a foothold." Ephesians 4:27 C.S. rocks!

Hi Waiting, I would like to re-reply to your post. I do not believe Epi is perverting the truth. If one has an experience with God then, I could never say that they did not and...he has some points that can be hard to understand as we have heard everything we know in a certain way, and most...

Pew warmers. I was one of those persons once. Go through the motions and hoping for some kind of change, that never comes to be. I do agree about most of the mainline Church's never getting their flocks off the milk. They can be showing up every Sunday for decades and have not moved an inch...

Hi John, You are funny! I was just reading a devotional that one of my brothers sends me in email everyday and it is all about grace and how we need to extend the same grace that God gives us...not always easy, for sure! Your posts do demonstrate Christ in your life, btw. Stop biting your...

If you get the chance, you should read it, sure got me to looking at Paul's thorn differently!

Nope, had to look it up :) It was mostly friends who were into The Dead. But yeah, now I know your vice! Lol.

"Such a long time to be gone and a short time to be there" Box of Rain! The Grateful Dead. :)

For reals Helen! The Church=His Body, period...not brick and mortar. All we need is a bible, the Holy Spirit and the desire to know Him! We can get teaching from many teachers today, and many awesome authors. One can outgrow a "Church", if they keep teaching on the same things and...

"In evangelism I think it is more biblical to say something along the lines of “I do not hold your belief. This is what I believe...” and proceed with the message of the gospel. Once you establish that understanding is not the issue, then “I disagree on a few points, namely _____”. What I...

Hello @John Caldwell, I love your dog! I have 3 little ones. I am only on post 5 right now but, I would like to say, I hope you stick around. In Him, nancy

"some even feel that somehow it is their God give right to do so , ( siting Jesus turning over the tables) and are nasty while doing it... that is a good message for everyone today..." So agreeing here Helen, and not just because I love you ♥ How will they know that we are His followers? ;)

"He asks for a broken and contrite spirit." Amen!

"This thread is getting far too complicated for me...it is making my brain ache." Ahaha, Helen, I am so with you on that...I gave up on this one pretty much from the beginning! Makes my brain bleed...ah, the simplicity of the wondrous Gospel...sigh.

Hi Waiting, I do believe Epi sees truth a bit differently when it comes to spiritual things. I could never say that someone who claims to have had an experience with God is not telling the truth as, how could any but God know that? I do understand what you say here too, about measuring up but...

Oh boy...you are so kind to say that Waiting ♥ But, there are little pockets of pride still in me :oops: mostly not knowing my physical limits because I do not want to appear weak or lazy. And...there is the issue of criticizing others in my mind...HATE that! Of course, there is also...
