Vain repetitions indeed not, but the keynote in that for me is the "vain"! Jesus speaking to his Father asking that the cup be removed did so 3 times, but it was certainly not in vain! Mt 26:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye...

People should be very slow to decide for others what will or will not work. To Elijah He spoke in a still small voice, but surely God is not limited to that specific means of communicating or acting. What do we, each of us, know about God and the Way of God? Only what He has allowed us to...

It does take more than just speaking the words. We see that the scripture continues: "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" Rom 10:14

Who would do that and why? But then consider if you will what these verses might mean: "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the...

@theefaith Do not these verses relate here? "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners. Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a...

"Pray without ceasing." I Thess 5:17

Indeed, but is that good as men understand as good enough to please God and allow a man to always dwell with Him? If one out of four were to do that, this would be a whole other world, this society of men we name planet Earth. What does it take for one to move from selfishness to...

I see not less than 3 heavens. Jesus alone among men had clearly been in all three. Consider what I wrote an earlier thread on this forum on this subject... Where is hell? Where is heaven?

"My times are in thy hand..." Psalm 31:15

Even so. We had the weapons including a machine gun to defend our radio site, but all we ever did was clean them. Some time, after the escalation began 4 men from my company were killed at another of our radio stations. One of them was a good friend, who attended microwave radio school with me...

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33 "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world," John 17:11 Jesus spoke those words before he went to...

Consider this: "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps" Jerem 10:23 But foolish men [what carnal man is not foolish?] do take hold of their own reins and move on as if they knew the way that they should go... "But I would have...

I don't have all of the answers, sister... Fortunately, God does. When we truly need answers will He not provide them?

Amen!

Those things are built into people, be they Protestant or Catholic or other. Pointing our fingers at the other guy, who may indeed also fall short, does not remove the beam from our own eyes by any means. Who among us without regarding to designation has already overcome all as Jesus did? Not me!

Consider also the destruction of Nehushtan by King Hezekiah here: "He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it...

"And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." Matt 26:39 Is anyone here selfish? "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of...

We can be good in accord with God's promises and traveling along the Way which He has provided. The means to accomplish it has been provided! "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me" Matt 16:24

Why did Job go through what he did? Consider the first verse: "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect [complete] and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil." Job 1:1 "So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning..." Job...
