The following is a testimony of the father of my old pastor, as my pastor told it to me: His father was a full-blooded Chippewa Indian from London, Ontario, Canada who served in the armed forces of Canada in World War One. He returned from France with life-threatening lung problems caused by...

I am not, but God speed to you as well, my friend.

You are quite welcome Matthew. Remember also what the Book of Revelation says about overcomers as it is quite pertinent to our understanding of what God sees. What are we to overcome and how are we able to do it?

Who among us is able to see the whole vision of men as God is able to see it? Pr 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish:

I won't reply in depth again. The Bible does contain all we need, but we should not simply use it to support what we have decided is the truth. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to form and reform and adjust and eliminate and add from what we have consumed [read, heard, studied in the scripture]...

OK... What we read in the OT, in addition to direct prophecies, it often presents types or shadows for us living today if we are able see and understand them. God put more in the Bible than a man alone can fathom. How like unto God... or to Jesus ... can a person become? The limit is always in...

I find that most of the Bible at one time or the other has applied to me or to others today. On this we disagree. My own experience and the experience of others I have known make with disagree with you about the gifts being for today... but I will say no more on that. The churches as you mean...

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Phil 4:4

Praying for you brother!

Joh 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me...

Mt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Mt 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the...

Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. If not led by the Spirit, where is God's love in the person? Who is a son of God? Who is like Jesus? 1jo 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that...

Only if God draws the circle?

Silence then...

@MatthewG I hear what you are saying. I remember that you are striving to attain. I will not condemn easily simply of because disagreements. I have too many errors in own history to presume I have it all right now. Jesus did it all right, but I am still not even with him.

I have only attended a physical service once since completing my chemotherapy in March. That was to one on a Sunday where I was sure and old acquaintance still attended. I was right but he was not a real friend so I may not go back there soon. Perhaps I will look for a Saturday service. As you...

If we are truly being led by the Spirit of God, we will know when to pray for a person's healing if know God's will for that person, including whether he is to be healed at the moment or not. Jesus healed many, but not all of the sick or disabled people he met during his 3½ years he walked on...

You have never heard me say that! You have never heard me say that! I am glad you remember that much about me. I too believe I am right at times, but I recognize that at times I have not been led by the Spirit of God and have therefore been very wrong. Remember what apostle Paul wrote here...

The only way you can "see" the truth, the reality, is if and when you have been given the "eyes to see", which the natural or carnal man does not have even if his natural vision is 20-20. Re 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment...

Why do we even have a written Bible? Is it really so that we can pick and choose the verses or incidents or teachings which fit into what we already believe and leave out anything that does not? Mr 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils...
