    Happy Birthday

    Ps 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Is it by reason of strength that today I am eighty years old? I am not finished yet because God...

    The Definition of "Integrity"

    Yes, I would agree with that.

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    I know. I sometimes do not go with the common understanding. That leaves us where we were already.

    The changing perception of hell. - How do you define it?

    But remember what the heat of the fire did to the mightiest men of Nebuchadnezzar's army: Da 3:20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Da 3:21 Then these men were bound in their...

    The Definition of "Integrity"

    To repent for me means to change my ways. This is what God expects of us and He has made it a possibility. God does not change, but He wants us to approach Him. To do so we must change. Ex 33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. Ex 33:19 And he said, I will make all my...

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    People like it when the Master is healing their physical bodies and feeding their natural bellies without charge, but how many are ready for and desiring more...? Joh 6:25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? Joh 6:26...

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    When I get to feeling lonely or left out, I am reminded that God is with me... so I talk with Him. Daily I read my Bibles and talk with Him. In a few days I will attain 80 years. Moses was 80 when he led the natural children of Israel out of Egypt. He led them for 40 years. Perhaps I won't...

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    Continue to walk always with Him, my friend. My one close friend in Christ with whom I met regularly died in 2020. My wife and I live with my daughter but no one here attends any assembly. Sometimes they meet with a church group online. I have tried that but so far I cannot continue with them...

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    I do not hold it against people who still do. If I happen to be in a service where they are doing it I might participate, but being unable to drive now because of my eyes, I have not attended any service in many months. I simply eat the Word when I read my Bible and drink his blood which is the...

    The changing perception of hell. - How do you define it?

    I will take Annihilationism, seeing hell to be like the fiery furnace into which the three Hebrew children were thrown in the Book of Daniel. Our God is a consuming fire, but will He warm us and protect us or burn us up? Consider also our foundation and what we are to use as building materials...

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    By that you apparently mean that they were thinking of cannibalism as men think of cannibalism. Again, for me his flesh is the Word of God for is he not the Word of God? For me his blood is the Holy Spirit. I do not eat bread made from grain nor do I drink wine/grape juice, squeezed from the...

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    Yes, many of his followers left him at that time, but Jesus did not change his words at all. No compromises! What is it that we see now? For the moment it may still be "through a glass darkly", but if we continue walking toward Him and growing [what is required of us?] should we not eventually...

    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    Eating the Real Flesh and drinking the real Blood Would it not be better to partake of that which is represented or symbolized than those representations or symbols? Why eat or drink the image instead of the reality? "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat...
