    "I will draw all men unto me." - Excerpt from J. Preston Eby

    God cant force himself to work on a heart and mind. Someone has to be willingly. If it was automatic… it just wouldnt work. There would be no experience between the flesh and the spirit. It would just be spirit always consantly like a light switch turning on power but never shutting off and...

    "I will draw all men unto me." - Excerpt from J. Preston Eby

    Steven, It would have to. Hearing the word of God produces faith. God also talks through nature. If i remeber right; and then you decide… Thats the way i see working today Love to you, Matthew

    @Ritajanice, Did you skip past post 141? I tried talking to you then… This is becoming really ridiculous and judgemental as all get out… All the best to you though in love and patience, Matthew

    "I will draw all men unto me." - Excerpt from J. Preston Eby

    I believe God draws people by the spirit; however they decide if they will have faith in the resurrected Son, or stay away from it. 7 ways does God commune to his creation. The spirit and the bride say come! To anyone who desires to take freely from the everlssting waters.

    Face2face, Im not so sure im right at all but ill teach it. Just right now this a simple message board, and can only do so much, If its a bible verse and in context and needs explaining by and through video lessons, i would express that I do believe people can turn away from Faith, there is...

    Do you believe it takes faith to believe in anything that expressed in the bible? And im not sure what the topic is you want to talk about? You post Romans Chapter 8, a great chapter with Paul writing to the Saints at rome, and his talking about the renewed person whom is indwelled by the...

    @face2face, I am not here to jump down anyones throat. Peoplw may freely express themselves and their views, as individuals we are free to reject what one may express and that is okay, will love that person by the spirit and allow God to deal with their heart on the matter. We can express what...

    Why do you believe Satan is still around today? (Please read Op)

    He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that...

    Jack, Your remarks toward me are simply childish, my assumption is that you enjoy trying to get a rile out if people by simply just interacting with others on here because you find them to be easy targets to get flared up very quickly and it is something that you may seceretly enjoy, however...
