    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    @David in NJ I had already written out another lengthy line by line response to you post #585, but I deleted most of it leaving only the following verse penned by Apostle Paul: "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they...

    Queen of heaven and earth!

    I said nothing like that.

    Queen of heaven and earth!

    You failed to answer with regard to Kings Saul and David. Their mothers were most certainly Not queens so how were they able according to you logic to be born?

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    My friend how hard did Jesus come down on Judas even though he knew the man was working the wrong way? Take people as they come, one person at the time, without deciding against them because they or someone else has put a label on them. Perhaps as groups or organizations they may be taking the...

    Jesus washing of the feet

    Give God the glory my friend. The first time it was difficult to do, but I learned that it was perhaps the best type of special service I ever attended.

    Eternal Security

    If for the moment, we are saved according to God, it is because we are continuing to strive to attain to the Light and to surrender to Him so that we can endure with Him to the end. If we stumble or fall along the way, we are not lost if we get up or sincerely and humbly ask God to help us get...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    People attack the label they or one of their favored teachers/leaders/interpreters have assigned to a person by his affiliation. Here are some of those negative labels: Mormon Jehovah's Witness SDA Calvinist Catholic Pentecostal Trinitarian Presbyterian Oneness Unitarian Tongue Talker non-Tongue...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Unfortunately sister, as you already know many people insist that if we not follow Jesus exactly as they believe he should be followed, we must be lost. Even though they may not say that precisely, what they do say and their actions or inactions do manifest it.

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    I agree about liking Mormons, with one exception. I had a sister-in-law, a Mormon, who had a very beastly nature, but as I said, she was the exception. I have met lot of other beastly natured people who belonged to a multitude of other church groups designated as Christian.

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    I purposely avoid using the word, cult, as a label for any group who has less than all of God's Truth. Since no group or denomination to my knowledge has all of His Truth, for me none of them should be called by the label. Of course, I also do not have all of His Truth.... but like so many, God...

    Queen of heaven and earth!

    Who was King Saul's mother? Who was King David's mother? They were queens of what?

    Anti-reformers month

    Yes, I read about the so-called Counter-Reformation many years ago. I would like to have seen that 20 page preface. I have a Douay-Rheims I keep for reference. It was published in 1898 with only 1½ pages in the preface. Its preface gives a very brief reason for why they included what is...

    Eternal Security

    Actually what we should be doing is yielding to the Holy Spirit rather than quenching the Holy Spirit within us. The Holy Spirit of God when directly engaged in a battle within a man will always win. That men after being "saved" do sin means that in order to sin they they have quenched the...

    Jesus washing of the feet

    I had some wonderful experiences in actually washing people's natural feet in the past, but as has been said there is much more to it than that. Why was it that Jesus washed His apostles’ feet, but when Peter suggested that He wash more than his feet, Jesus then answered? "... He that is...

    Jesus washing of the feet

    Will You Wash My Feet? When Jesus sent out His disciples He said these words: "And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Long before I joined this forum in early 2008 but after my retirement from secular work in 2000 I joined a n online Christadelphian forum. I loved their knowledge of the Bible and many of them were very friendly folks. I copied and saved to my computer some of their very good Bible studies...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    The last time I heard, the Christadelphians would not baptize a new member until the person was able to pass their test. It was very comprehensive and at that time very biased. Yet, they were one of the strongest Bible studying groups I have ever encountered.
