Ummm I think many of us here have already answer why. Maybe you just don't like the answer! ;) I have a son-in-law who keeps repeating the same question because he wants a different answers . When a officer wants the best from his troops he tells them in no uncertain terms. Paul was doing the...

I'm happy for you...keep believing that if you must. :) Why is this stuff so important to the Christian? Why is so much time invested in talking about it? Seriously. Contrary to what was taught to most of us as babes in Christ , Jesus did not speak about hell more than heaven...He...

I too believe that it is a true life ( death :D) event and not a parable. I do not believe it has anything to do with "eternal torment ". 'We all' post with such authority as if we all know for sure what is what, who is who, why and what, and know it all. We just don't! People...

That reminds me of the wise man who said:- "When you cannot feel His Presence , ask yourself, who move?" o_O Christian in Pilgrims Progress went off the road. He lay down and fell asleep. Yet I believe that whenever our hearts grow cold....The Father will always faithfully and...

My fellow Canadian Why do you so very often 'come across' as snarfy ? :oops: It is a pity , because I know you do have a nice relaxed sense of humour.

Agree. I believe that our Father is just that, our Father, and a Father speaks to His children. We are told via David and all through, to follow close to Him. Jesus said "My sheep hear My voice and the Stranger they will not follow." In thus day and age...that is what should be all...

You took the very words out of my mouth! @amadeus has no idea at all what his presence here means to the site, or how much he is missed when not here...posting his 'balance' in the threads that can so easily get heavy and judging without all of our input. Without him, we do not have the 'all'...

We have all been very concerned about you!! Agree with Episkopos...good to see you back. :)

Surely we have the choice of saying what we deserve or what we feel, or saying about ourselves what God says about us? Paul says- "Reckon yourselves dead indeed to sin...and alive to Him.." Surely to say anything else about ourselves is either false humility , or down right disbelief , don't...

You said - "It is an exhortation. " Totally agree. It is a call to "Come up Higher.." Paul in all his writings is appealing always to them the be overcomers... He is running that race, the race of the overcomer..coming to full maturity. He hold this high vision before them over and over in...

Just as an aside here. :) People often talk about "real Christians"...on this site they sometimes tell who they are posting to..you are not a real Christian. Maybe a better phrase would be immature , or what the bible calls - "An Overcomer" Rev 3 We have overcoming , mature Christians, who...

Im butting in here. ( @VictoryinJesus sorry) Once again I am seeing our condition linked with punishment!!! Our salvation is secure..( speaking of Christians) We cannot earn it. The blood of Jesus the Lamb... Our condition ... walk and fruit, determines the rewards and position in the...

....or both!! :D Many verses are very meaningful to me ...in 55years God has spoken some really precious things to me, in my ‘hour of need’. Does it have to be “either v or” ? I think God speaks on many different level through the same verse , at different times of our life .

Glad that you gave me a like there...it was the only thing which showed up in my Alerts. Or I would never have found this again. I Agree, I just posted this over in the thread "Luke 16 Rich man in hell .." ( which he wasn't, no one is in hell yet because the day of judgement has not yet...

Being an English war baby , Im not sure that I ever did !! :) Our poor teachers were all shell shocked after coming home from serving...our 'education' was a mockery...

And there was I thinking that eternity for us already started when we became His!! When we die we move from life to Life! "for the kingdom of heaven is within you.."

Oh whoops...you have a false security there. Eph 6 does not tell us that. We do not go 'palling around', but trust me...they are there dogging our footsteps ...waiting for their opportunity. We have angels, ...from both sides of the fence. The Gadarene man could not have come to Jesus if...

Jesus plucked the ears of corn when He was hungry, .."they" condemned Him for not 'keeping the law' of keeping the Sabbath holy. Jesus saw beyond the letter of the law -" The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." David saw beyond the law... when hungry, he went into the Holy...

Good catch, you know how I think... :)

Nah. Tell that to a five year old...they are born believing.... They don't come to the "age of accountability " ...and suddenly they don't have the faith to believe that the sun will stay in the sky. Everyman ....has been given a measure of faith.
