(sigh) Sadly, it is just as the prophet wrote, "Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been REVEALED?" (ie, not many) and "though the number of the Israelites be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant will be saved." I know Yeshua/Jesus is the Messiah because I have...

Is there any way you can get temporary respite care for your Dad until he gets over this infection? And now and then as needed, going forward.

People grapple to understand and explain things that cannot be perceived by the carnal mind of the natural man.....they must be spiritually discerned, IF the Lord grants the understanding. I have trouble understanding this concept of the three being one. Sometimes our wording and understanding...

I think in terms of God being a Person.....and like any person He has more than one gear and more than one character trait. Sometimes He shows mercy, sometimes He demonstrates His righteous justice and the scriptures are full of examples that we might learn and give Him the fear that is...

This is what you seem to have difficulty understanding, because it can only be received and perceived by the Holy Spirit....spiritually discerned. Salvation is both a done deal as well as a race to be run. BOTH at the same time. A kind of paradox. We have both already been saved but also...

I think you might be right brother. That would explain those off-the-wall false assumptions and accusations about us....from wrongly assuming we are the same as he once was. Makes sense. Those who believe Jesus came to bring unity and world peace had better read what He said about coming not...

It's as though he is talking about his own experience sometimes, that he only had mental assent at first and only thought he was born again.....and assumes that is the same with us believers. And then he was born again for real and is calling that a higher walk, when in fact it is really just...

Oh but He is! And an omniscient one at that with a prodigious memory! The best accountant in the universe...not one jot or tittle of anyone's heart and life escapes Him! Though of course thankfully that isn't all He is.

Oh my, goodness. How can anyone say that when the bible says "it is by faith you are saved." ...?? I'd call that HUGE "benefits" based on what we believe by faith, which cannot be overstated! (Though it is not of our own, but of His Spirit who comes to dwell in our vessel when we come to...

Isaiah 53 disagrees with you, as does the scapegoat which is a parable of Jesus. However, it matters a lot how we live after being begotten of the Spirit. We are not to just sit on our laurels and take salvation for granted.....the Lord is looking for followers, ie, obedience. To obey is...

Be encouraged sister. Nothing wrong at all with praying and asking Him, but at the very least if there are no friends to be found at this time, know that God is working it together for your good. A believer's path is not an easy path, but He is with us in it, and we can let whatever pain we...

In the meantime if there is no fellowship to be found, does that mean God is somehow coming up short in one's life? He leads us through trials and seasons for a reason. Times of leanness or lack in any area can be opportunities to learn to transfer our needs to Him and trust Him in it, that...

Realistically not many people have time for interacting with friends or extended family on a daily basis, but I would say to let loneliness cause you to draw near to God, sis. Keep seeking Him, because truly He is the only one who can really comfort us in our need......there is an emptiness...

Men are but vessels for the Master's use. The word of God is not man-made, otherwise it wouldn't be GOD's word. Those words weren't the writers' own, but they came from God and the writers faithfully wrote them down. Hmm, so now you want to make a case for what is man-made. Interesting...

Physical death is but a parable/picture/shadow/allegory of what awaits those who die in their iniquity.

Believe me, I don't believe you. The scriptures are not man-made but were inspired by God and the truths they express are His. 2Pe 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and...

Gen 3:1-5 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; “but of the...

If aonios doesn't mean eternal then God isn't eternal and eternal life isn't eternal. Need to do a word study on the word "everlasting" in both old and new testaments. And maybe start with what Daniel wrote about the resurrection of the dead......some will rise to everlasting life and others...

Didn't YOU read my response? Even the devils believe....but they are not saved are they? The scriptures you brought do not say that anyone will be saved after this life is over. The whole entire bible warns about God's wrath and judgment, and about dying in one's sins and apart from Christ...

Well for one thing, horses in scripture signify war.....battle horse. Jesus came the first time riding a donkey, signifying that He came in a spirit of peace and reconciliation and meekness. But not so when He comes again to judge the world...this time He comes to make war against His enemies...
