Amadeus is simply Latin for "love God". I chose it as my confirmation name when confirmed many years ago in the Catholic Church. I have been using it on Christian forums for many years. [My given name is Johnny!]

But... you are not!

I do believe that ATs exist. The difficulty occurs when two believers insist on ATs which contradict each other. God alone knows for certain in every case who is right and who is wrong. People believe they are right and very often call their beliefs ATs. All of us, I believe, still do live by...

Deliberately? That is pretty definite. So which translators are to be trusted? Why trust any of them? Why trust that any man was inspired to write what God spoke? Why trust what is written in any Bible? I would be surprised to find that any man maliciously and intentionally translated them...

Have to be careful with those ATs [Absolute Truths]!

We have always been our own enemy as well. That is not a new thing!

"For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God." Heb 7:19 A better hope indeed, which means God expects and requires more of us than He did of those under the law given to Moses. "But he that knew not, and did commit things...

God uses people where they are according to His purposes. This is where I see both the Right hand and the Left hand of God at work. Some people are used on both sides. Being used in such a way is not a final statement about the person. He may or may not be on the Lord's side at the end of his...

Greetings my friend from one of those holy rollers.

These things and more are why we must read and study and talk with God. We then are getting to know God and as we are getting to know Him, we are getting to know also the meanings God intends for us in what is written. Remember the error of Abraham: "Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said...

Sounds like a good man and a dedicated pastor.

Not then... not even for a while, but the gift of dancing would be mine and eventually I would dance before the Lord even in the spaces between those pews. What a mighty God we serve!

Unfortunately that is way with too many churches these days in my own experience. There are still a few people all over who really love God, but they seem to be very few indeed when compared with the numbers called Christians according the statistics of men.

My father's family was Pentecostal Holiness from the early beginnings of that group. My paternal grandparents were converted in a Pentecostal Holiness camp meeting in Oklahoma City in 1913. They were both active members until their deaths [him in 1950 and her in 1985]. My father was an active...

Sometimes especially in my morning personal time with God I will get little flashes of a bit truth from a verse I am reading or of an unrelated thing on another verse of scripture or from my own previous experiences or from a dream in the night. It will be something new to me and yet at the...

Amen! My father's family was always Pentecostal, but my mother divorced him and moved with us to California to become Catholics. I was baptized Catholic in 1949 at the age of 6. During those early Catholic years my older brother and I would frequently travel to Oklahoma to visit my father...

Don't press of yourself as if you could do it alone and do not let other people insist that you must do this or do that. What we all must do is be led and directed by God through the Holy Spirit. Very simply ask God to help you do what He has for you to do. Don't stop with one request. Keep on...

Amen! When my old pastor's father used to be called the Indian healer back in the 1920's through the 1940's he learned to talk to God first before ever touching a person who came to him asking for healing. He would pray a prayer of faith for healing for someone only after receiving assurance in...

Even so my friend. Back in 1976 my wife and I as very nominal and minimal Catholics attended some Pentecostal revival meetings together. She began speaking in an unknown tongue the 3rd night. For me it was 6 weeks later. The difference was that I was not ready to give up what was necessary to...
