Among carnal men or among men quenching the Holy Spirit, I agree that chaos would ensue. I have attended a very few services where the Holy Spirit was leading the way. If they were all like that there would never be chaos; there would never be any confusion; there would be no need to come out of...

"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matt 6:34 Give God the glory!

So, you have decided you are right. That makes you like other men according to Solomon. Are all men who believe that they are right, right... even when they disagree?

Have you never attended a church service where permission was required in advance to speak from the pulpit or even to give a testimony from the audience? Have you never been on a Christian forum where the moderators edited or deleted posts with which they did not agree? This is one of the...

"For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." Rom 2:28-29 "Not as though...

Amen! In your country and in mine some of us can remember when things were different and for us better. Perfect they were not, but still a vast improvement over what I see today... at least for the WASPs in my country. For others they would certainly have something to say about it. Things may...

Indeed, dear sister! So, it is. We are supposed to have it, but the pressure is on against anyone who presses back too hard in some areas which the power of men and the devil consider improper politics. How long can freedom of religion under law stand against being their definition of being...

Yes, God has always had a plan. All we can really do is get into the place that He has for each of us in that plan and do what He has laid out for us to do.

So, then you must believe that God is a respecter of persons contrary to the scriptures? "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons" Acts 10:34 What did the children of Israel do in the wilderness? What did they do when they were dwelling...

You see the problems, and you also see a solution to those problems. A bigger problem perhaps is how to implement the solution. If we were given one man with the strength and meekness of Moses, could he accomplish what is needed? It brings to mind the following verses in Ezekiel: "Son of man...

"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Phil 4:11

And... so few of those here are really wanting to listen. So many also apparently, want their ears tickled assuring them that God loves them so much that they cannot be lost. Do they really understand what God's love is? Yes, but when a man only sees what he wants to see, then he walks forward...

In a measure the flood gates have held but there have been lots of leaks and there are too many bearing the label of Christian who are pushing against gates from the other side. I am 78 and remember when it was better than today, but even then... not so good. Also, the number of openly...

In that negative extreme, we would be gone. The little world of me, the old man of flesh and my own fleshly ways would be gone: "And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof..." I John 2:17 If there is a new man when that old man with his world passes away, then... "...but he that doeth...

God is simply unapproachable by man in his natural or carnal state. In the Garden of Eden, man walked with and talked with God. Then man was cast outside and developed his own ways that twisted and opposed much or even all of the "very good" [Gen 1:31] that God had made in the beginning. God did...

Did I? Perhaps it is difficult for me to understand your understanding or is it vice versa? How about death? But see what I wrote further down... I believe God. What is written? Does the devil decide or put into effect our fate or punishment or curse when and if we might go astray from God...

I am afraid there are some large holes in your understanding. But then who is not seeing now as through a glass darkly. Unlike the natural man whose eyesight diminishes with the aging process, the new man must continue to grow while time remains to him. To stand still is to stagnate which is to...

@Behold A gentile is a heathen. A whole lot of the natural children of Jacob were and are heathen. That is why most of them died in the wilderness and why most of them denied their own Messiah and why most of them are not followers of Christ today. God is talking to His sheep, His people...

But Jesus did not purge the ways of men which when followed will lead them to sin again. Do not men sin after they have received the sacrifice of Jesus on their behalf? Yes, they do! For this reason, after Jesus paid the price of sin, the Holy Spirit was sent to work on the filthy ways...

I will say that you went to a lot of work to state all of these things to build your theology which are mostly in accord with or in support of established traditions or beliefs of more than one church group and more than one man. But what does God say about all of it? There is the right...
