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 lie: A person, a follower of Christ, that is...

Amen, my friend! Our God is Alive and keeping those who love Him.

Amen!

Yes, God is able, but what man is able to always and completely understand that which God had written? Only by God was it written and only by God may it be understood. The multitude of denominations, often using the same translations, sometimes have apparently completely opposite doctrines...

No, they do not, but as I remember they are strong on three things: 1) A person must speak in tongues to prove he has received the gift of the Holy Ghost. 2) A person must be baptized in water using spoken words of Acts 2:38. 3) A person must believe that Jesus is God and there is no trinity.

But... those were my beginnings after Catholicism. When God pulled me in... it was to a Oneness, Jesus Only group. I received the Holy Ghost while with them and they got me to reading the Bible for the first time in my life. The family which God used to bring us to Him was a part of them and...

I am very slow to say that I am right and that someone else is wrong... even if I believe that. This something I learned to do some time ago in order to converse with a person without bumping heads or at least not too hard. I am certain that I am wrong about some things. I just do not know what...

You make a good case with regard to contradictions or apparent contradictions. Usually, my failing mind cannot follow such things at length, [so I usually skip over them], but I believe I managed this time. I may still have missed it. I believe you did not mention how faith is a necessary part...

Indeed, and our God leads people to knowledge, but it starts with faith. I believe that when faith is finally gone it will have been replaced by knowledge. I believe that God has absolute knowledge. Did Jesus as man live by faith as we do... or did he live by knowledge? Either way, he was...

I do not get into those details too much because my "Now" is the most important thing, but I have considered this: The man who has attained to the 1,000 years is perhaps the man who has overcome it all... but who has attained to it? Methuselah, the oldest recorded man came up short with only 969...

Yes, "My Utmost for His Highest", is the one I have and read regularly. I also have "Abandoned to God", which is his biography. Both of them are the hard copy books.

I found it generally very good and uplifting. I was only checked on a couple of things in it, which I won't mention now. Thank you for sharing.

@Angelina @Nancy This thread has traveled far from the topic and is going no where fast. Please lock it.

Thank you. I will mark it down on my list. Mostly I like to read the old-fashioned ink and paper books, but I got past that for forums such as this one... so I may get to your recommendation as well.

Years ago I learned to put things up on the shelf for the moment if I could not understand a something. We are to live for God by faith rather than by knowledge. The Finisher of our faith is Jesus. Let him finish it with knowledge in his time... not ours. Study it if you will but do not be...

I have a daily devotional by Oswald Chambers. I do not read it everyday but periodically and nudged by the Spirit to do to. I am also just getting into The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

If it matters to you in your walk with God then pursue it, but be careful always to test the spirits whether they be of His Spirit or not. If it does not matter in your walk with God then why worry about it?

Thank you. Yes, I am still here until God in one way or the other takes me away. In spite of my age and experience there is still much for me to learn... and I may learn some of it here. I am also reading a couple of books besides my Bibles with the same purpose in mind... to learn new things...

@TonyChanYT Or... In the Book of Genesis: Jacob is first mentioned in Gen 25:26. Jacob is last mentioned in Gen 50:24. Israel was first mentioned in Gen 32:28. Israel was last mentioned in Gen 50:25 The word Jacob was used 160 times in the Book of Genesis. The word Jacob was used 70 times in...

Certainly. A person speaks or writes as he is led by the Holy Sprit or he doesn't no matter what he may claim. God knows.
