    Very tired now this old man in the flesh from a long day for me. Tomorrow I will look in here again if time permits. Give God the glory!

    Before meeting the Master, as I see it, we were already dead. We were not on a journey to death. We were dead. Jesus brought to us an opportunity to Live and never die. Once we get on that road of opportunity with Him [new birth road] journeying into the abyss again is a possibility when we...

    There is much we see differently and it makes our discussions confusing probably for both of us. Very simply I do not see "born again" as saved forever! What I do see may be complicated but simply... I see being born again as an opportunity to do right what Adam and Eve did wrong. As a result...

    And do also say that you always understand exactly what God's written message means? I certainly do not!

    The covenants are not the same, but God is the same and He is fair. What they under the old covenant had to do is not the same as what we under the new covenant have to do. Only God is capable of judging how well we have handled or are handling what we have been given considering all of our...

    A better promise is just that but it is not without a greater cost, a greater cost because you have more available to give. The cost is in what God expects from you out what He has given you. He gave you everything. Are you willing to give Him everything in return? Do you love Him so much that...

    Do you not believe that God gave a very few in the OT a connection with Him through the Holy Spirit to accomplish for themselves and for those around them what He has provided to whosoever will today? God is no respecter of persons... and never has been. There has always been a Way to please...

    You recognize what many people, I believe, fail to recognize that until the "old man" in you is completely dead there is something within yourself that cannot be trusted. God wins every battle in which He engages. When a person repeatedly suppresses or quenches the Holy Spirit of God in himself...

    John 1:1 looked at HONESTLY!

    It is not what I disagree with but what I see and what I do not see. How good is my vision? In the flesh I wear corrective lenses, glasses. According to Apostle Paul he was among those who were still seeing through a glass darkly. Who is doing better than that? "Where there is no vision, the...

    And now you are saying that God is a respecter of persons. How many verses in both the OT and the NT confirm that He is not? We will be finally judged by what we do with what we are given. If we are given more then God will most definitely expect more from us. Have you so easily ignored or...

    Either it is Jesus or it is not, but how good is our vision of Jesus? How much does a new born baby in Christ know about Jesus? In the beginning very little, but that's OK for God understands why the baby knows and sees so little. As the baby takes nourishment [the flesh and blood of Jesus]...

    Do we give an actual God the glory or do we glorify an often misunderstood or even unread Bible on our shelf?

    Consider the unnamed prophet of God sent out of Judah onto Jeroboam the first king of the 10 tribes after their separation from Judah. [I Kings 13] He was certainly a man of God walking with God and in God's Word. He prophesied about King Josiah of Judah by name more than 300 hundred years...

    Yes, indeed, a better covenant and Jesus words confirm what God expects as a result: "Much is given... much is required" "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to...

    All of Israel was saved out of Egypt, but most of them died in the wilderness never making it into the Promised Land!

    Indeed! All three given the means to make it to the end working with and for Him for His purpose. What happens if we decide to be careful and bury it in the earth until He returns?

    We must make all the way to the end of the road with Him. Bumps along the way may be uncomfortable, but if we stay on the vehicle with Him we will make it. Some people after so many bumps without relief simply decide to get out of the vehicle even though it is the only Way to approach the bright...
