I am not here to argue the point. I will leave you to it. God knows all of the "whys".

Amen... those verses you quoted above [Phil 4:11-13] were and are certainly right.

Jesus is the Head of the Body of Christ. Are we part of that Body? If, yes, then must we not always be in submission to our Head?

Are there then so few NOW striving to be like Jesus, truly? 1jo 3:2 Beloved, NOW are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. Has Jesus not then already appeared to us so...

You sure nailed that one. I like having my own little study with the very comfortable chair I am sitting in now before my computer. The one other chair is a recliner which is also mostly for me when I am reading my Bible and other books. Personal physical comfort is one of those nice things, one...

But... be careful about trusting too much to logic or even the scientific method. They can be useful but let us not think that God is bound by them: Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the...

It is indeed a "growing" thing, at least it is for me. Keep on seeking those things as Jesus said, His Kingdom and His righteousness... and keep on asking and receiving. But... have a care about asking amiss. Our flesh is also hungry and I speak not only of the stomach. Lu 2:52 And Jesus...

Pr 11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. It is speaking of using a purposely an inaccurate scale [balance] to cheat someone versus using an accurate scale to assure fairness in business or trade.

Quite honestly, "favorite," in regard to God and the things of God, is a word I have tried not to apply for many years. Why? Because as God is no respecter of persons, I believe Him to also be no respecter of things unless He has specifically indicated otherwise. I, of course, have fallen...

I used to be on this, and other forums, for many of the reasons others have already mentioned. Now, however, I truly try to be led by the Holy Spirit as to when to read and when to reply. I am a tired old man, but I still am able to enjoy sharing what I believe or sometimes reading what others...

Even what might be a "good" long post I will often pass by after a quick glance, because there are no spaces between paragraphs or at least some kind of spacing to make for easier reading and understanding. It does not need to meet the standards of a very precise, according-to-the-rules of...

It was not actually the first Pentecost. Pentecost was the second of the three great Jewish feasts, celebrated at Jerusalem yearly, the seventh week after the Passover, in grateful recognition of the completed harvest. It was rather, the first Pentecost occurring after the crucifixion...

As long as we are not dead in the eyes of God, hope remains.

Give God the glory!

A few have noticed, but how many are listening to and obeying the Word of God?

I don't chime in much anymore these days. I can remember a time when I read most, and sometimes all, of the posts on this forum as well as on other forums. Now, I only regularly read here and only a very few posts at that and respond to even fewer. It is rare that I see anything new to me. There...

Are we now Alive to God because we now really believe in the Truth? Joh 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? Are those who now then believe in Him, already in the Kingdom? The work on us who have not yet overcome all that Jesus overcame is...

Praying for him.

Praying.

He has previously indicated on here that he is autistic. That combined with English being a second language to him undoubtedly make things sometimes difficult.
