    What is Trusting God, exactly?

    I would say that a pretty good definition of "trust" is confidence in, and/or reliance upon, someone and/or something assumed dependable; but then who really cares anyway? Most people are far more content to bee-ess about the Bible's God than to actually rely upon Him for anything. Buen Camino /

    Gen 24:54-61a

    †. Gen 24:54-55 . .Then he and the men with him ate and drank, and they spent the night. When they arose next morning, he said: Give me leave to go to my master. But her brother and her mother said: Let the maiden remain with us some ten days; then you may go. Their request was reasonable...

    The Broad Road ?

    . Maybe in your own mind you think I know not what I say; but from my perspective; what I said about you is spot-on. Of course you're a voice calling in the wilderness; that's what all the Joseph Smiths of the world believe about themselves. Even Muhammad believed himself a rectifier of...

    The Broad Road ?

    . (sigh) Just what Christianity needs: another Joseph Smith to get it back on track with the original faith of our fathers. And how about the likes of Jim Jones and David Koresh? Do these armchair prophets never cease?! BTW: you should consider looking into Christian Universalism. Now there's...

    Gen 24:34-53

    †. Gen 24:34 . . I am Abraham's servant: he began. I think it's commendable that this man, so far from home, didn't introduce himself by his own name but rather by the name of the one whom he represented. †. Gen 24:35 . .The Lord has greatly blessed my master, and he has become rich: He has...

    Gen 24:23-33

    †. Gen 24:23-25 . . Pray tell me; he said: whose daughter are you? Is there room in your father's house for us to spend the night? She replied: I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor. And she went on: There is plenty of straw and feed at home, and also room to...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . People who fail to correctly consume the Lord's flesh and blood are lifeless; viz: dead. †. John 6:53 . . Jesus said to them: I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. People without life in them are eo ipso omitted from...

    Gen 24:16d-22

    †. Gen 24:16d . . She went down to the spring, filled her jar, and came up. The "spring" in this case was a small pool of water fed by an aquifer, which is different than an artesian well. Artesians gush, while aquifers seep. Some of the shafts of ancient man-made wells in the that part of the...

    The Broad Road ?

    . No surprise there. Bible verses can be interpreted to support just about any theory. I've even seen people support Buddhism with the Bible. I too believe Ecclesiastes is scripture, and I too believe it is inspired, and I also believe it is useful for doctrine, for reproof, for correction...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . They can't-- nobody can. †. Rom 8:9 . . If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. There are people out and about wearing the Christian label who are just as christless as can be. Why? Because they don't have eternal life. †. 1John 5:11-12 . . And this is...

    Gen 24:11-16c

    †. Gen 24:11 . . He made the camels kneel down by the well outside the city, at evening time, the time when women come out to draw water. "evening time" is from an ambiguous word that indicates any time after high noon when the sun is descending towards sunset as opposed to "morning" which can...

    The Broad Road ?

    . Hell's opponents commonly quote the book of Ecclesiastes; which is a fatal error because proof texts related to the afterlife drawn from the book of Ecclesiastes are inadmissible; and the reason is very simple. Ecclesiastes isn't a book of revelation, but rather, a book of philosophy; and...

    Majority of Mankind Will Perish -NC

    . I don't know how you came to the conclusion that I was judging those people but I assure such was not my intention. I merely name-dropped them as types of the kinds of Christians targeted by the Lord's statement at Mtt 7:22-23. Buen Camino /

    Half-baked Eucharist

    . The Lord didn't instruct the apostles to remember his crucifixion by consuming genetic code. He clearly, and without ambiguity, commanded them to eat a bit of bread and to follow it up with a beverage from the vine; and I would just like to know why in God's good name some of you are finding...

    The Broad Road ?

    . If Luke 13:22-24, Mtt 7:13-14, and Mtt 22:14 are any indication; it's the majority and the numbers are impressive. According to the US Census Bureau: as of Aug 23, 2012 @ 09:35 pm New York time, the resident population in the United States was approximately 314,222,188 with a death rate of...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . Personally; I think Rome should stick to its original position; and here's why. Note the grammatical tense of the Lord's statement below. It's present rather than future; indicating that when somebody correctly consumes his flesh and blood, they're granted eternal life right then and...

    Half-baked Eucharist

    . According to the Lord's testimony, as an expert witness in all matters pertaining to his own wishes; Christ's body is in the bread, and his blood is in the cup. †. Mtt 26:26-27 . .While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take...

    Gen 24:3c-10

    †. Gen 24:3c-4 . . that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I dwell, but will go to the land of my birth and get a wife for my son Isaac. The words "land of my birth" can also mean "to my country and to my relatives." That is exactly how the...

    What Is The Purpose Of Taking Communion ?

    . This is yet another syndrome associated with people who listen to ecclesiastic celebrities instead of listening to Christ. You have equated not listening to Thomas Aquinas' interpretations of Scripture as not listening to Scripture. I encounter this kind of thinking all the time on not just...

    Gen 24:1-3b

    †. Gen 24:1a . . Abraham was now old, advanced in years, Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born (Gen 21:25). The lad was 40 when he married Rebecca (Gen 25:20). So that makes Abraham 140 at this point in the record. But although Abraham was worn; he wasn't worn out. Abraham still had plenty of...
