I have never seriously considered killing myself, but when I have been alone with little or no encouragement from people I have hoped that God would bring it all to an end for me here allowing me to die rather than continue as I was. I have now a very good marriage, but when my wife was going...

Every believer believes certain things and in doing so believes he is right. That does not mean that they should not also have open minds and open hearts to receive that really comes from God that would change something they considered unchangeable: "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes...

Aye, it relates directly to what James wrote here: "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." James 4:3

@My Dreams Praying for a bicycle!

I remember for many years always welcoming the young Mormon missionaries who would come to my door. I did not challenge them but simply discussed with them what they believe and what I believed. They usually came back... some times several times. Over the years in some places they were young men...

The following is something I wrote down more than 12 years ago. I may not myself agree with it on every point, but it does I believe some questions people ask on this subject... Maybe it will clarify something for you. I have not fully reviewed it recently myself: I understand where you are...

Do you suppose that by the abundance of scripture someone who has his mind made up is going to change? I could provide a lengthy Bible study on this subject done many years ago and most people would never read it. Of those that did read it, if any conclusions were different that what was already...

Most of them were already dead!

By their fruit my friend, good fruit or evil fruit. Some as you understand make a person wonder why they bother to carry the label: Christian!

All people will go to God to be judged...? Even the ones who have never received the Life that Jesus brought? Why? "The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the...

I am right with you on this. In the Army all of the injections were required before shipping us out to Viet Nam and the Dominican Republic. No choice! I was young, foolish and very ignorant so I never gave it any thought then, but now I am firmly against enforced injections. I also am firmly...

Well then it would seem that we disagree. My view of beasts would require almost a small book. I won't do that here. Be blessed my friend!

"Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city," Prov 9:1-3 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of...

Go the all the way down to that very lowest room and then...? "When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with...

Joining in prayer here for @pastorjagan!

And I am not arguing in favor of it. Rather I am showing in our own nation's recent history that men do continue to want to be what they have always been from the time they first disobeyed God: Beasts!

I do not believe that the 21st Amendment was passed so people could legally consume alcohol for medicinal purposes. God showed us in the OT with the laws given to Moses, that written black and white laws would not fix the problem of men. Their hearts needed to be fixed and then He sent Jesus.

LOL, like the prophet Elijah we can run away from our "Jezebel-like" enemies and try to hide ourselves in a cave: "And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very...

@LouisWilliams Drugs or alcohol or whatever! The lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life are within the man attracting him in which direction? Have the people in general changed so much over the years and even over the centuries? In 1919 an amendment [the 18th] to U.S...

I give you credit for having some answers, even if you often have little or no understanding of what I am saying to you. Of course, I do not insist that my beliefs are better than yours, even though I believe that they are. Otherwise I would certainly want to change them. We should all want to...
