    Church Bashing

    Amen, sister! Not long after we moved to Oklahoma we got burned very badly by a "nice" young couple who expressed their need for help. We never even suspected that such a young couple could have already learned to take advantage of the kindness of others. We later learned that it was scam from...

    Church Bashing

    Last Spring, my daughter called me early in the morning on her way to work for assistance with a flat tire less than a mile from where I live. We had had some nice weather after a record-breaking cold spell, so I got up and pulled on some clothes to go out to her. But... I put on only a light...

    Church Bashing

    I learned for one thing that sometimes I really needed to bite my tongue. I learned that I must love people who seem to have no mercy at all for others, the last which may include me or people I do love. I also learned that God does have times to heal and times to allow the...

    How did Jesus treat Judas Iscariot even when he knew the man was going to betray him?

    Church Bashing

    Yes! Many times in many churches my wife suffered this kind of treatment from people "of God" [?] and as her spouse, I suffered it with her. The good thing was what God taught us by and through those experiences. They were certainly painful at the time. Easy there sister...

    Church Bashing

    Unbelievers are in darkness so that everything that is really good [God only is good] is absolutely blinding to them. Believers have at least moved up into twilight places with some definite Light but a whole lot of shadows all around covering and/or blocking their closer access to God and His...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    If left to men in too many places designated by men as churches probably your motion would carry, and the vote might even go your way because God does at times allow people to get what they ask for... even if it is a rejection of Him and the best interests of the people themselves: "And the...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Should we vote then in order to determine who has God's Truth? If we excluded from the voting all of those who are definitely unbelievers, then make our final decisions in accord with the majority, would we not all be Catholics anew or again? Is that not absolutely opposed to what Jesus was...

    Church Bashing

    Does the need for reconciliation mean that prior to their disobedience, Adam and Eve were in harmony with God? Once they had disobeyed, the harmony was gone... and a reconciliation was necessary in order to move again toward God. Adam and Eve disobeyed and were then out of sync with God. They...

    Church Bashing

    Thanks, but not tonight. My brain is very tired, and it requires great effort to focus on the subject. Tomorrow will be a new day. Maybe then I can look at it once more. Give God the glory!

    I am thinking that I understand and agree, but my mind is muddy this evening. Perhaps it is just me. Thanks for your response

    I have heard this kind of an explanation before and it still does not fit with me. Could be I simply am not understanding it.

    Church Bashing

    When we are quenching the Spirit are we then in Jesus? Is he then in us? If we ever sin at all any more are we fully dead then with him? Is that 'old man' of us really finally and completely dead? Kind of like the number of people who made into the Promised Land from out of the wilderness...

    Simple...huh? When and where is that resting place for the Head of the Body? The Head is ready, but the other parts of the Body?

    Catholic issues

    I guess then that we are not communicating. Where does a person get "ears to hear"? Have a care sister!

    Church Bashing

    Who is included in the "we" of Eph 5:30? Are we fully subjected to the Head of the Body at all times? If not, what kind of disorder is that? Is there disorder in the Body upon which Jesus to be the Head? If we are ever quenching the Holy Spirit how are we even connected to the Head? What...

    Catholic issues

    Is it word games or is it in accord what Apostle Paul wrote here? "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but...
