I believe that you should consider carefully what I said before presenting it as an analogy. What is the whole picture according to God? What do men see now? Different men are at different places along the highway of holiness with different personal backgrounds and/or experiences do not see...

But where and what is Church? We should not confuse the physical roles of and males and females with the spiritual roles of members in the Body of Christ, that is, in the Church. The former [the physical] is only a type or shadow of the latter [the spiritual]. "And he is the head of the body...

I do not disagree with that, but you said that 'faith' is permanent. It is not! Faith is the Way God provided for men to travel to the Light. The Light is permanent. That road will be gone when it is no longer needed when we have each finished our course: "But when that which is perfect is...

I think your analogy is flawed to an extreme. Does God live by faith rather than by knowledge? Did Jesus not know many answers rather simply having faith that they were correct? When we move from "through a glass darkly" to "face to face", is that not like moving from faith to knowledge...

We also need to be overcomers as Jesus was the first overcomer. What did Jesus overcome? The world of temptation! The Way has been opened and the means to accomplish it provided. Jesus grew and we must grow! "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our...

Jesus is drinking his cup all through his ministry, the proper cup for him, according to his Father. He is tempted all along the way to drink of other cups... easier ways... until he overcomes the very last temptation. Remember his word to the devil here? "Jesus said unto him, It is written...

"Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?" John 18:11 "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...

Should you even ask such questions? "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise." II Cor 10:12

The word, church, was not in the verse I quoted... You have added the words. Do they apply? Who is His Church? "But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my...

Welcome to the forum!

He says he believes in the mind of man, yet men continue to fail horribly in spite of all their knowledge and technological advances. 3000 years ago Solomon wrote about men: "I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see...

"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." II Cor 3:5-6

Your logic is your logic, the logic of one man, in the way and thoughts of that one man. Now then, hear Solomon: "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov. 21:2 And then consider the Lord God: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are...

God is my authority! You may believe in yourself, but I believe in Him. Men have been choosing themselves above God for a long time... and the pain and suffering seen all around us is the result. You may not believe that, but I must stand on what I have experienced serving God for longer than...

"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 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes...

Look at these verses with particular attention to the parts I have underlined: "One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts." Psalms 145:4 "The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy...

@VictoryinJesus In the OT there are many examples of people who did partake of alcoholic beverages, but consider this one where the Rechabites would not: "And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine. But they...

What a mighty God we serve my friend! Where He leads that is where we should always be following. But... men do so often have, and insist on having, their own ways!
