@FluffyYellowDuck Good to see you back! Stay close to God!

As each writer wrote what he wrote it was under the inspiration of God. What does it take to receive the message, God's message? Some atheists may have started their way to God reading the Bible for the wrong purpose... but then something smote their heart and the purpose became the right one...

@Truman the Levite But then you are emphasizing the breaking up and the parting at physical death of two who love each other and the pain for the one who remains behind. In serving God, we are not to remain behind but to move always toward Him. Of course many people don't do that even while...

Why do young people [or anyone for that matter] choose to attend a church meeting or join a Christian discussion forum like this one? Some really want to learn about God. Some really want to teach about God. Some ___. Fill in the blanks with other reasons why people choose to be there or here...

That is not a new subject to me. Expressing myself sometimes not very carefully [or even carefully LOL] on this forum and others I have spoken on this very subject. Some people condemn me heartily for that, but others, (only a few I would guess) readily understand my point of view and even a...

I know that I cannot and will not read all of the posts on this forum. One thing I started doing a long time ago was skipping most long posts... especially if they are typed single space with no paragraph breaks. Forcing myself to read and study that kind of thing when I was still working on a...

When you have something to present here and it seems too long even to you, consider breaking it into two or three parts, posting each part as one post. I expect you will find that someone who would not read the long single post may eventually read all of the pieces...

Yes indeed my friend but some people are also like children with very short attention spans. When I was younger I read more and longer and deeper. Now, a physically old man, I read slower and cannot easily make myself stay with it. The exception for me is in my Bible reading. I developed the...

@MatthewG I read about the first half before I quit reading. Good subject and the part I read was good, but it was too long for me to continue... You might consider shorter Opening Posts!

I also bumped heads with him not long after he joined the forum. Sometimes he may present important subjects and sometimes I may even agree with what he says, but I most often avoid his threads and posts because of his attitude [spirit?].

Amen!

Take your rest from here sister, but stay always and everywhere close to God!

No need to be afraid! What I do when I do not understand something in scripture is effectively put it on the shelf for possible future use or understanding. In spite of all my reading, some things still have yet to come together into something meaningful or even understandable from the...

Because we love Him! If we really do love someone, don't we do all that we can to please that person? Should it not be even more so with God and His Son?

I don't know the man of which you speak and likely have never heard him preach or teach, but I would say that the words I emboldened in blue are true of every one of us who has not yet overcome all the world which stands between us and God. It is certainly true of me... but God is not finished...

My best friend who died last year had never read the Bible through even as you... but he studied the Bible all of the time led by the Spirit. In this he was similar I guess to you. I, on the other hand, have read the whole of the Bible many times over the years. I do have a regular reading...

Give God the glory, my friend!

Call them truisms or cliches, but if they are the Word of God, what then? Simple answer to your question, "Do you have to prove God exists?" For me, no! For others unless God is in it I cannot!

No, when it comes to the things of God I don't play games. You are apparently not understanding what I am saying... or disagree with me. As you have seen on some threads I have posted agreeing with you against others on some points... Trinitarians often come up strong against me because I am...

Continuing to pray!
