Give God the glory!

Ultimately I can only speak for myself. What other hearts do I have access to? Are there not people who will be able to say that they never sinned after they were born again? 1jo 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Perhaps...

I do not overthink it. On the contrary every day I return to the lowest room emptying myself all that I can and allowing God to refill or change or whatever is in accord with His will. He does makes changes as well adding sometimes new things for me. What a mighty God we serve! People are...

I may come back at a later time. You are too far away from where I am on too many points for me provide a short concise answer. Give God the glory!

No. He hates sin. He hates the things which bind men keeping them from doing the good He has for them to do. He hates the uninhabitable parts of our little bit of earth. Da 3:22 Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew...

@MatthewG If the world is "our own little world of temptations and sin then did not Jesus provide us with the means to do what he did: overcome it? Forget about planet Earth. It is a lump of dirt with no Life at all. The lump of earth that might be important to God might be the lump of dirt...

Even so, my friend! We may disagree and even directly express our disagreement, but final judgement is not ours. What does Jesus really mean with the following words? Mt 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. Mt 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure...

Pr 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

Not even if God wanted to give it two meanings?

I might write a book to explain my position on what you have said, but I won't. God sees our differences and if either you or I are wrong, who but God can give a real increase? Do not stop growing toward Him, my friend.

Were they not also spoken to the disciples for them to understand Jesus' message? He could have remained silent as he did at the right times, but he spoke because it was time to speak... but who was supposed to hear and understand His message? Did not Jesus speak His parables to edify those who...

Do you see then the difficulty of even communicating here due to semantics?

The scripture were written by men as they were inspired by God to write them. As we see however on forums such as this one and elsewhere, people at times have different interpretations of the same written verses. We need [I believe] to have the proper Interpreter [the Holy Spirit] in order to...

The reasons for speaking in tongues would parallel or equal [I believe] the reasons for Jesus speaking parables: Mt 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. Mt 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy...

God has never changed. As the natural children of Israel limited God so do we limit God when we put our will in front of His within the dominion which is ours until we run out of time. Men had named this as free will, which is to go God's Way or our own! Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto...

Was that God's only purpose? Was it His first purpose? Consider that God knew all of His purposes at once. What would be first for Him? For me it is not such a "status symbol" although in actions portrayed it certainly seems to be to some people. Unfortunately, some teachers teach it...

Yes. Yes.

If the message was from or of God, there certainly was an Interpreter!

Does speaking in tongues from God have more than one purpose? 1co 12:10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.

Eze 47:2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. Eze 47:3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured...
