    Thoughts on Christian Mysticism and Contemplative Practice

    Is this so? What if one does a combination of the two? What does the following parable mean to you? Lu 14:7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, Lu 14:8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit...

    Bible was never written to you

    Be careful, now! Is this what God has said to you or is it simply your opinion? Do you not believe that God speaks to people today? If, yes, do you know what He has said to anyone besides yourself?

    Every Preacher Should Be Preaching Perfection

    @Wynona And once again... Mt 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

    The Key to Discipleship

    We are to love the truth...all of the truth: 2th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a...

    Bible was never written to you

    Did God use the Bible to reach Abel, or Enoch, or Noah, or Moses, or Job, or Solomon, or David? God reached me when I was a Catholic and had never owned nor read a Bible. What are God's Ways? Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. Isa...

    Bible was never written to you

    The writers themselves may have been unaware of the greater audience to which their words were addressed by God who was directing them [the writers]. If they were really only intended for the eyes and ears of those physically living in that particular time period, then should we not throw away...

    Some "Jesus mysteries" that always fascinate me

    "Vitally" important, means, according to one online dictionary, "absolutely essential or necessary". Is God so limited as that? What historical accounts did early believers have before there were any written NT scriptures? What did they have even after the first hundred years following the...

    Some "Jesus mysteries" that always fascinate me

    Trouble, no, and not even really intrigued. Was something going on that we cannot grasp? Paul writes that our vision is as "through a glass darkly" [I Cor 13:12]. Solomon wrote that "where there is no vision the people perish" [Prov 29:18]. Are we not now supposed to be approaching the "then...

    Bible was never written to you

    In a technical [as @Ronald Nolette has said] carnal sense, perhaps you would be right... but then is it not God who inspired all of the writers to write what they did both to, as well as for, every reader? Ac 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar...

    I'm starting to move away from "pretend Christianity"

    Indeed my friend our God is real and His Word is real. It is all the rest of what our carnal senses perceive which may in fact be fictitious.

    Addiction! Addiction!!

    And how does a person stop it or prevent it? Mt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. And when does a person stop seeking those things first? Only when and if he has overcome all temptations like Jesus did. Who has...

    In exile from the church - disconnected from what?

    Most of my life I attended church meetings regularly. For then it was seemingly a necessary thing for me. In November of 2018, the human powers that be put out our 93-year-old pastor. We went out with him. For a long time then I was visiting the various church services in our town hoping God...

    Why do Christians prefer their Churches segregated..

    I really strive to take people one person at the time without regard to what group he actually or apparently belongs to... Even in groups with some very wrong [as I see wrong] essentials, such as the Pharisees when Jesus walked planet Earth, there are also often some, or even many, who are...

    Why do Christians prefer their Churches segregated..

    Like too many threads on this forum this one has little that would be edifying to one who loves God. Help us dear Lord!

    How to Test the Spirits?

    For me the surrendering needs to be a continuing thing. To surrender to God once is good, but to walk alone in the manner that God knows that we should is an impossible thing for man in his flesh. Without Him we really can do nothing good, God alone is good. God is not tempted, but we, [most all...
