The question on the psalm I quoted is when does that morning come... the one when joy comes? That was my question, but the thing I learned, which each of us must learn, is to stop insisting that God hurry up with what He is going to do. Simply ask God to help you endure what you must go...

I am joining in prayer for you my friend. Trust in God always. No matter how great the pain, do not give up on Him. You know already in your heart what He is able to do? Ask of Him, but do not insist. Sometimes for reasons we do not know our continued suffering is a necessary part of our walk...

We cannot legislate adherence to God's will. We cannot by force of arms make people holy and righteous like God. We cannot by eloquent words and debate convince people to live for God. "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ... a time to keep...

Mostly I know only what I have read in the books of men so how much do I really know? Who among them can we believe? They say it was a great experiment in spite of many of the early leaders strongly opposing any real democracy . They did not trust the common people! The finished product of...

Amen!

In perhaps our bloodiest war, the Civil War between the North and the South, the leadership on both sides pledged allegiance to God claiming that He was on their side. Which side was right, the South where black slaves had no human rights, or the North, where free blacks were at best second...

You are foolish to insist on answers as if that would give you a black and white answer about something that ultimately is God's business and mine. I should with Jesus give you only the sign of Jonah! But... it is not that important 1) In most cases I would oppose abortion. 2) For...

Your way or my way of expressing it... it does ultimately, as I see it, amount to the same thing... for the two of us. I do believe that there is a difference, but to many people it does not matter. I am not against calling the Bible the Word of God as long as people do not misunderstand the...

He was told! So was I told the same thing about the United States! We all were told many things by men which were not true. Only God always speaks the Truth. Comparing the country of @McFearless with our country and any statistics that men have complied will not fix the problems of men and all...

The rebirth I see as a new opportunity for any person to come to Life. All of the offspring of Adam and Eve were born dead in the eyes of God. They all had hope and the Hope arrived in the person of Jesus born to Mary in Bethlehem. He brought Life, but how does one attain to it? Jesus reopened...

I have no problem the things you oppose, but to equate God's Way with any existing political party's platform is a place I cannot stand. They may overlap in places, but they certainly do not coincide and the only side to be on is God's. Similarly I can stand with no church group but rather I...

Again, I believe, a problem occurs very often with believers when they take hold of the Bible as the the Israelites did Nehushtan. The Bible is not God, and unless quickened by the Holy Spirit in a person, I do not believe that it is the Word of God. Without the quickening of the Spirit, it has...

Unfortunately, many people labeled as Christian have either changed the meaning of the word, Christian, or never really knew it. To be a follower of Christ [=Christian] , it seems to me a person should be working with God to become more like Christ... but then neither am I God! "Beloved, now...

Amen... but who now among followers of Jesus is not still seeing men as trees walking...? One more touch Lord? "After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly." Mark 8:25

Methinks that this is beside the point. If you were reading carefully you would have understood that writer of OP was not holding up Denmark as the ideal example for Christians.

Amen! And when it comes down to it, what belongs to any man, be he caesar or czar or president or governor or king or emperor? Does not it all belong to God and He has lent it out to men as stewards? For the most part, some very poor stewards they have shown themselves to be in spite the Son of...

And the way of Superman = Truth, Justice and the American way... so then should we all follow Superman? Where and what is he? "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:12 And that name is Not, Biden...

So are you considering the need to change the meaning of scripture so as to line up with what you already believe? Is it possible rather that there is an error in what you already believe in need of correction?

Is not the following verse effectively saying that Adam was born of God? "Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God." Luke 3:38 But then, what happened here? "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know...

What does it take for a person to qualify as "a true believer"? Were Adam and Eve true believers in the God with whom they fellowshipped daily before they sinned?
