    Who are the sons of God and the daughters of men

    Yes, a tool which may be understood as the left hand of God. We want to be on or in God's right hand! The Left hand of God is used to accomplish the curses in God's Word! Unbelievers may be used as the Left hand of God; or believers out of God's perfect will may in the time of their failings...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    In the OT people were supposed to connect to God indirectly through the prophets and priests. False prophets and negligent or ignorant priests might have made this difficult for people with sincere hearts. God, fortunately, was overseeing the whole thing so no one who wanted to do right was left...

    Introducing Terral And The Three Witnesses Of Scripture

    I am with you sister. I cannot read it: the frailty of my weakening eyes and brain.

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Yes, I went through verses carefully some years ago and although there were differences in the details, the essential idea of taking some of the pressure off of Moses was still there.

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    You hit it square on the head with those verses... Yes, I remember being barely able to cope at times in that place. Was it supposed to be Christian? How far could we go? It reminds me of Jesus speaking to the Samaritan woman. His disciples could not understand how he could even speak to one of...

    Born Again or Christian? Is there a difference and what is your biblical support ?

    Perhaps [nearly] everyone in Christendom would call themselves a Christian, but how many are now, or are now striving to be "followers of Christ"? In my experience, not very many of all of those in the group. There is certainly a whole lot of lip-service given, but not many... from what I can...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    She expressed a love for God but there was so much of the world in her. I will also be remembering her in my prayers. Someone a short time ago reactivated one of her old threads which reminded me of her. She had several of them here. Some of them were hard for this old man to read, but for her...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    This is similar to the way God does sometimes when the precise verse is not in my mind or in my mouth. Many years ago when I lost my way with God and after 10 years He brought me back, all of my many memorized verse disappeared but God let me know that I had been walking along too much of the...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Yes an appropriate question: Was God mocking them? Lots of things happening in the OT and now because people were going their own ways instead of listening to and following God. Ps 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Ps 2:5 Then shall he...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Apparently good advice from Jethro to Moses in Exodus 18... but consider what happens in the following verses in Numbers and Deuteronomy: Nu 11:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers...

    Peter the Rock?

    Yes, the perfection is in the motion directed always toward Him. If it ever stops it would only be when they are ready to shovel the dirt over our faces at the end of the time given to each of us. God alone is both perfect and complete of all those I have known. Has any man but Jesus attained to...

    Uzzah and the Arc of the Covenant

    When is our work for God done? Not while we still abide in this flesh! If we become lukewarm in our walk with God, will He not spit us out of His mouth?

    A Testimony of Mine...

    I was Catholic and I remember walking out in a field behind my grandmother's house when I was 10 years old [1953] and sincerely talking to God for a long time one afternoon. I knew really effectively nothing of the Bible except the little bit the priest read in those days. But, I did already...

    Uzzah and the Arc of the Covenant

    Never are we in our supposed wisdom to lose our fear of God. He must also be the one leading and directing our steps: Jer 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
