Desperate? No, not desperate! Sometimes a desire of the flesh, of the old man, tries to regain its old dominion in me... but there is One who is able to defeat such desires. God sent His Son to make it possible for us through the Holy Spirit to overcome such things. Alone I would be in big...

@WalterandDebbie See devotional on prayer by Oswald Chambers: What’s the good of prayer? “Lord, teach us to pray.” Luke 16: 1. It is not part of the life of a natural man to pray. We hear it said that a man will suffer in his life if he does not pray; I question it. What will suffer is the...

It comes back to Luke 12:48 with "much is given...much required..." In a sense as I understand it, it would be easier for a believer with a below average IQ [man's measurement] to enter the kingdom of God than one rated as a genius. Mt 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel...

Is not God able to bring to Life His Word within any reader of any of the various translations... even those often harshly criticized? Must a Bible reader be also an expert in the original languages in order to move closer to God? Fortunately, what we read or hear of the Bible [in any language...

No, you are not alone in finding it complicated. Despite having read it for so many years, some [or many?] things still are not clear to me. I am sure that most people also, as a result, get wrong ideas from it. But... we do not give up... We keep on asking, seeking and knocking. What you say...

Wow, for me you go on making it all more complicated than it needs to be. Jesus is to be our foundation. If he is, then what we build on that foundation will be tried by fire. The wood, hay and stubble will burn up while the gold, silver and precious stones will be cleaned up but left intact...

My answer to your basic question for me is found here: Lu 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the...

Consider the Right hand and the Left hand of God: The man by whom the offence comes is one who puts himself in place to do the lefthand work of God. He invokes a curse. How long should a man remain double-minded, working first for God [the lefthand], but then also at times working with God [the...

Yeah, that's the one. Too often this old man tries to tell Alexa to do something, but getting the name wrong, I find myself ignored. Hmmm!

My daughter has one of those in her house. "Alex" is an AI [Artificial Intelligence] who does things in the home, such as turning lights on or off upon request. He also answers questions on various subjects.

God, I believe, can use anyone or anything to help out even the oldest of people. Then there are babies in Christ [at any physical age] or more experienced people who simply do not understand or misunderstand single points or questions. Will not God provide what is needed, if the person is...

Amen!

Have you proven your point or God's? While I read the KJV, I would never argue that it is the best choice for every English reader. We need to go the Way that God leads us. See post #3 by @Pearl . Is God not able to open our ears and eyes to understand His message to us? I regularly read three...

Give God the glory!

God works with us as we walk and work with Him. I read the KJV along with Luther [German] and Valera [Spanish]. Sometimes I will read for a long time or even seek something in particular [study] without seeing anything new, but then suddenly a verse opens up in ways completely new to me. I...

Yes, that is one thing that happens when time passes. One grandson is expecting his 2nd child and my youngest granddaughter just moved into her own apartment. My wife and I sit back and watch from a distance now. Even babysitting is in the past tense.... Oh but indeed, out of the mouths of...

But... during those centuries you mention, when people did not have a written Bible of their own and perhaps many or most of them were also illiterate, was no one saved? Did no one encounter God? God always, I believe, has had His Way available to anyone who was looking and seeking the Truth...

I essentially agree with your words. Remember with them also the case of Nehushtan: Nu 21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the...

Praying for you and your cat!

Love as Jesus loved! Amen! But without God's help how can we do that? For man it is indeed, impossible but for God all things are possible! Ask and ye shall receive!
