Forgive me if I am wrong but, are you saying that Christians do not ever sin?? That they live sinless lives, just like Jesus?? Do you not know that we all have a parasite called "sin" living in us? When Paul wrote, “We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” he wasn't referring to...

Sry...will fix..

Exactly, well put. If it were our own willpower, that would just mean that we think we can save ourselves-HA!

Is it so hard to understand law/grace? I mean, what did Christ even die for? Why does Gospel mean "good news"? Was Jesus not enough? WE just have to get our OWN fleshly "works" in the mix like God needs our help. :rolleyes: Gotta get that glory, seek that crown for ourselves! Get our grubby...

We very much need to be Berean-like.

emekrus, when you mention "material riches.", are these things to be used for yourself, for a better lifestyle above and beyond food, clothes and shelter, clean drinking water, etc.? Or, are you speaking about being blessed materially in order to help others who are in need of even the basics...

I am also a single woman and rely on Him for the smallest of things and when the big things come, I pray, and watch Him work-is exciting, IMO ♥ He has not failed me yet, on the contrary-His answers are usually way above and beyond what I had prayed for!

I have heard that the BBQ smell is from stars burning out.

Okay, you quoted my signature verse...and? You also neglected to expound on my Q to you about the "People of all religions are the "locusts from the abyss". I can certainly see them as being caused by Satan and his fallen angels, demons...but I fail to see where they are "people". God Bless -nancy

"the Wolf" Ahhaha! Yes, I read all of the above...His mom was from France, dad Italian...His real name is...I forgot but Francesco somehow means "French"? And the nickname stuck! Oh yes, and the stigmata supposedly from the dream/voice/vision? he had in prison...i wonder about that one.

"...and believe it solely based on what someone says, a dream I had, whatever. I want to know I believe based on God's Word alone... " Amen sister. And The Spirit of God brings us into all truth so, between the Word of God and His Holy Spirit which is inside all believers, the Holy Spirit IS...

"See what I mean?" No, not at all. I guess you are just too smart and crafty for lil ole me.

That is an awful lot to go through. I pray that Piper, and you and fam. will remember that peace that surpasses all understanding...and that God will ease the discomfort of this procedure for Piper and find favor with the surgeons by blessing their efforts. Amen ♥

Oh, should I have said "eschatology"? And, it by NO means consumes my time and study of all other scripture. Can you expound on your comment that people of all religions are "the locusts from the abyss"? I am referring to the locusts that will torment in Revelation 9:1-12"Revelation 9:1-12 -...

Ha! I just read this very same thing yesterday when I read Reggies post. I had to look him up because all I really knew of him was his love for animals. I learned lot's. He grew up in opulence, indulging in fine foods and, drink and partying. "Consequently, he abandoned his life of luxury...

Hello GISMYS, What makes you think that there are only those few thousand praying?? I know of many Churches, in my area, including my own, who indeed ARE praying. Not to mention all of the faithful that you have no idea how many there are, that are praying for this disaster. I have a brother...

Yes, there is nothing in the epistles...just some reference to it in Matt. and Luke-Gospels -and that is not at all speaking to Christians. Actually giving above and beyond if we are so blessed that way. I wish Churches would change their wording of "Tithing" to "offering". Tithing does not...

Don't feel like the lone ranger, Mayflower. It can be frustrating when our views waver like that. As long as we have our core Christian beliefs about Jesus and what He did for us, we shouldn't lose sleep over them. But, yeah-frustrating sometimes o_O

Yes...He gives us spiritual sight, when His time is ready :)

"revelation knowledge!" New term to me but, it fits, lol.
