Good thoughts . Thanks for your response. :) Okay and what of those who are NOT overcomers? They also are a group also. Not everyone overcomes... 'weak in the faith' ....then what? Agree, God has provided everything we need to overcome in the Spirit. And Paul exhorts "Receive not the...

Oh funny, you reminded me ...talk about a double standard. We lived by the sea back then...and the second spiritual oversight in charge , a lady...( she was actually lovely and taught me much , things I have never forgotten) felt it was sin to be undressed on the beach. ( I was 24 at the...

Aaah, I think I have it now...you mean LEGALISM ....weights on the shoulder that God did not put there.... or, what I call "Ought-ism". When I was first saved I was told to not wear makeup any more. It was a sin of the flesh. I was told my skirt was too short. I was told to not wear my bright...

These threads are interesting aren't they.... :) I believe ...that The Bride is brought forth out of the Church , and the Mature Son 'out of ' the Bride ...each group smaller than the last...but ALL are still "The Church.". Fun , ain't it. :D

Yes..agree 100%

Sounds good. But I doubt that you are 77 ? I used to love to travel...I hate it now... Be blessed....H

Goodness where have you been? I hope you are well.

No argument there... But I would go ahead and say ... That 'christians' believe their interpretation of what the bible says about heaven ( which, when I read some of what is written on these forums about heaven by some people...some days it makes me laugh, and some days cry!! And I shake my...

I whoops-ed there...I quoted you and it posted by it self , before I had a chance to respond and post my thought. " as a man thinketh in his heart, so he is.." Prov 23

Would you agree that the battle is won or lost in the mind...we choose constantly. I put our heart and mind choices above our bodily actions ...faith starts and finishes in the heart.... The body follows the heart...

Good word. Which also reminds me...'right now' I will get off here and go and answer the conversation that we have going. :D

You are talking a load of rubbish here. If you read the post correctly you would have understood what this thread was about. What I was trying to convey ( and most people understood) ...any clown can just respond to any post with a bible scripture , that does not a discussion make. What I...

Yes, the test of attitude and faith must come ...their cannot be a victory if there is no battle. The children in the wilderness failed the test but two. "And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove...

Hey John. That brings us back to the discussion of The Overcomers...the Bride..and The Mature sons. Not a lost or saved thing....but a case of being called to being a kingdom of kings and priests and falling short of that high calling. Those that by faith and endurance inherit the...

Interesting :) I have not found that it works in my life. “Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him:” 11 "Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." For me , 'being dead to the old man'...

Hey there Colin :) I am probably the odd man out here. lol ( but I am used to that) I do not believe in the eternity forever thing re hell. Yes, I do agree with you that 'hell' is a nothingness of darkness. ( outer darkness) But not forever. Even with our natural minds , how foolish the...

Well I am glad you said -quote-< If it's true that people in Hell are destined to be stuck there forever, then wouldn't it be accurate to say they have eternal life seeing as how they will never cease to exist? > _______________ You may say that and believe that....but that doesn’t make it...

Brother, Just keep on following, learning, and asking questions of those more mature ... :) No one has a right to tell you that you are not a christian...and neither does anyone but God need to endorse you as a christian. Growth comes slowly as we stay in the light of the Lord. If you...

THANK YOU EVERYONE for you precipitating in this discussion...

Thank you. I have been very pleased with so many of the responses in this thread. I thought that the verse Mark 9.39 that 101G posted was a good one. So many good posts here too. I am very happy with the how the thread was handled by everyone. And the sister ( she posted her...
