No need but thank you for the offer. I recognize your place with God even though it is different than mine. I recognize you as a follower of Christ more easily than I do some of the Protestants of today and on Internet forums like this one. I was looking for some light from our friend...

My sincere condolences, my friend! I am praying for you now that God keep you strong at this time.

Give God the glory!

Right on it my friend!

I certainly have as I am sure others have. The mods work at it but having been in that job before I understand the difficulty for them. Just always remember Pontius Pilate's question. He asked what it was but did not know. Many people think that they do know, but really they, like me, know...

In spite of some of the evil spoken of there are as you have said a lot of good to be found among them. When I was an altar boy we used to periodically visit a Catholic Retreat maintained by some Catholic brothers who did some very good work. We also had 4 local Catholic nuns who never gave me...

You did not answer my questions. As to the question in the verse you quoted: Jesus interpreted for his disciples. After the day of Pentecost as per Acts chapter 2, has not the Holy Spirit been the Interpreter? To whom does the Holy Spirit give interpretations?

Unfortunately there is still too much hostility seen. Some I have waited for them to make positive and correct statements so I can give them a 'like' and/or a good reply. For some of them I am still waiting striving where it is possible to bite my tongue rather than hit them with the negative...

Amen! It was during the famine in Israel that God declared through the words spoken by the prophet Elijah. Then God provided for the prophet himself as per the quoted verses. In the very next chapter during the same famine and drouth Elijah challenges and defeats the 450 prophets of Baal...

Praying for them!

@FluffyYellowDuck Consider how God provided for the prophet here: "And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before...

Praying with you and for you my friend!

Your needle is certainly stuck!

Also, only follow any people as they follow Christ. If they do not follow Christ then do not compromise even if it means having no man by your side. "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ" I Cor 11:1 "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him...

We have heard of others in their difficulties among people we have known or about whom we have read in the scriptures and elsewhere. Also in our own lives we have our difficulties. I won't tell you what to say or when to say it. For me it must come from God, but I do not believe every hears...

It is OK to say what God wants you to say when He wants you to say it. "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Rom 8:14

I listened to the most of the sermon but I heard nothing new. I understand your point and his point, but perhaps you do not understand mine. "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time...

Precisely, which is why judgement belongs to God who always discerns everything correctly about everyone! Apostle Paul admonishes us to 'pray without ceasing' for failing in that too often we are led by our own carnal ways an thus miss out on God's needed direction: "O LORD, I know that the...
