Very well said GG...I agree. I dislike close-mindedness....and people who aren't even open to hear a different point of view. ( which means they are so sure that who they believe is 100% correct.) Which is very different from listening to out and out anti-God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit...

Wow, that was very good and insightful. ( do I seem shocked, sorry :) ) I am still back on page FOUR I have six pages to read, to catch up to todays posts!! This thread got a bit buried and I haven't read it for a couple of days.

Still slaying dragons I think. :)

I don't see it as negatively as that. To me it is more like a case of someone reading love letters for years and enjoying the long distant correspondence ..and then knowing that soon they will be face to face...hearing the words from his mouth not from paper. Not so much as wishing away life...

@VictoryinJesus You packed a lot into your OP. Too much for me to respond to! :) But I will say this... Luke tells us that Jesus went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and He was given the book of the prophecy of Isaiah to read. Opening the scroll he found the place (which happens to...

Thanks for the info..you are correct...I don't spend time researching things. I just trust people like you to fill me in when needed to...as you just did. :D I don't believe I said anything about that verse being directed at Catholics. In fact twice on this thread I have mentioned that it...

And Wow! Isn't that an "Ouch". How often have we all been guilty of judging someone or some incident purely by what we have 'heard' about it..and just take it as fact on face value!! God forgive us. That is why I hate the media...they tell us something, and we believe it as if it was fact...

I thought the young prophet only repeated what he was told by the old prophet. I forget . BUT.... As I read the book...I'd not want to be an OT prophet, too dangerous. :D When they got a prophesy wrong...they were stoned!!! Now if that were allowed today, maybe it would shut the mouths of those...

TRUE indeed. Before that we were under the Law. Grace came with Jesus Christ... 1 John 1:17 "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." Grace was released from behind the Veil when it was rent in two! The earth split from the temple to the foot of the...

I don't believe it is a matter of repeatingly dying daily...but of acknowledging that we are dead and staying so!!! Giving to place or life to the dead man that we were. Paul said " Reckon yourself to be dead indeed unto sin, and alive unto God....." Our focus is not to be on the 'being...

Excellent thoughts...I like that post very much. :) The story has always been a mystery to me.

Amen to that!! Sometimes, no OFTEN, we need the gentle rain upon the hardness of our 'ground' to soften it up.

Amen...I like that. We get so quick in judging others...and forget that when we point our finger at others , three of our fingers are pointing back at ourselves!! "There but for the grace of God........"

Well that is easy...there is just the opposite!!! It has already be noted here... 1 Timothy 4:3-8 3 "Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good...

I agree with the others here...religion has done a number on us all. Good posts here, and good and interesting thread. None of us enjoy someone poking their finger into the thin walls of our 'Shack'. o_O We at least try to 'look like' we have it all together in one place! :)

Thanks for that @Windmillcharge ...true...but we are responsible as to which we spend our time sowing into!!

Another thought... Jesus was full of the Holy Ghost, and yet He was tempted. Temptation often comes upon a man with its strongest power when he is nearest to God. As someone has said, "The devil aims high." He got one apostle to say he did not even know Christ! If a man has much of the...

@mjrhealth I have to say, I really like your new Avatar ... :)

We know that the two will always fight each other...the man of flesh will always persecute the man of the Spirit. :) And we bump into that on and off forums! I enjoy your posts, they make me think.

This worldly Kingdom or the spiritual kingdom! "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us...
