    The Mind

    Probably the use of the word, perfect, and automatically applying man's definition to that word causes people confusion. Without going into what God means by "perfect" consider how God judges us. He judges us according to (1) what we are in our beginning plus (2) whatever has been added to...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    Are you able to destroy both soul and body in hell? "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matt 10:28

    Do you consider pizza to be "junk food"?

    My wife also likes it so we do have pineapple on pizza every now and then. If there were no demand, there would probably be nothing to order!

    I am what I am and what He is helping me to become. Each day for many many years now I have been talking and walking with God. He knows me perfectly and He is helping me get to know Him better. I have learn to trust Him even when I stumble... God, I believe, is looking to our hearts rather than...

    Yes! I am one of his sheep! "To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice." John 10:3-4

    The Mind

    @VictoryinJesus Yes, that you learned something good there. When people really pay attention to very young children they can learn a whole lot about God and what He is really looking to see also in older people. When they see and also submit themselves to God He will help them become, in ways...

    The Mind

    @VictoryinJesus What I see is a process in each person. At the point of physical death, was the person still striving to overcome and surrendering regularly to God? That may be perfection as God sees it. How long is a person's time? One day? 6 years? 100 years? Whatever the answer is for a...

    Silliness? Is such openly stated disregard for what I believe the way I serve God supposed to edify anyone in some way? Idle words? We do live for God by faith rather than by knowledge. Without knowledge, are you not making a judgement not yours to make? You apparently disagree with my belief...

    "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    When quenching the Spirit, Yes! When not quenching the Spirit but being led by the Spirit, No! Why are you while seeing still through a glass darkly so insistent on black and white answers? Jesus had those, but Jesus was overcoming and never failed to overcome. Sometimes while knowing the...

    The Mind

    Jesus overcame the world of his own temptations before he walked up Calvary hill and lay down for them to nail him to that cross. All of us who have ever really walked with God have overcome some things, but if we are still tempted and if we sometimes still yield to a temptation and sin, the...

    I have by the Spirit of God overcome many things, but while any dark places remain within me or any beasts in me have not been completely killed, there remains work to be done. It is work which alone no man can do. It is however also work that God who can will only do when He is invited in to do...

    Scriptures that trinitarians Don't Want You to Know About - #5, Book of Acts

    Yes, much work to be done, but I see more need to surrender more completely and more often to God than in putting so much emphasis on studying. The disagreements probably arise more often from the studies. I am not saying not to study, but I am saying that too many people on all sides of every...

    Do you consider pizza to be "junk food"?

    My taste buds have something to do with my theory about it!

    A Neglected Tool for Praise and Worship: Lifting Up Hands

    Years ago I had a recurring dream in which I would physically go sailing/floating through the air with minimal effort on my part. That it was "of God" there was never any doubt in my mind. I would go to sleep at night expectant and there it was again. The reality of it began to manifest itself...

    A Neglected Tool for Praise and Worship: Lifting Up Hands

    I think that you do know why! But finger pointing is not a good habit, is it?
