First natural parents of us all! Adam and Eve disobeyed God and they died. Dead people cannot give birth to Living children. Therefore all of the offspring of Adam and Eve were dead in the eyes of God. People say that they are alive as they walk around and talk and do things, but to God they are...

How should I understand it? Why should I explain it to you? Are you interested in hearing or in simply winning an argument? Would you really want to know the Truth if you were wrong on any point? By faith you seemingly believe some things differently than I do. Should I throw my hands up in the...

@justbyfaith But then as Pilate asked, "... What is truth?..." John 18:38 He asked the question of the Truth not being able to see what was right in front of his natural eyes. We need to love the Truth, which Jesus is, even when we cannot yet see him clearly. Are babies in Christ in...

The key, as I have understood it, to remain always on the Lord's side, is to love the Truth, God's Truth, even though we may not fully or even correctly understand exactly what it is. Without that love for Truth, we are open to delusion and this place I fear is where many who have met the Master...

No, I believe that men have found verses which support it. It is one of those many things that Catholics held prior to the Reformation. Most of the reformers carried a lot of those things with them and never seriously questioned them. My own starting place once I arrived there is at the bottom...

LOL! An interesting way to express it.

Talk to God about the situation. At times we must simply sit back and receive the darts that others throw at us. Consider what Jesus did when they came after him without good cause. "Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? And he answered him to...

Are we lost for lack of knowledge of Greek? I once met a man from Nicaragua, a godly man, who served God closely. He spoke only Spanish, but he was completely illiterate in even his own human language. His testimony was real and powerful. [I do speak, read and understand Spanish.] Does this man...

But then how many having witnessed the glory of God still continue on their own selfish carnal ways? Some people see the truth, or at least a glimpse of it, and yet will not forsake their own ways for His Way. What does it mean to love God? "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of...

Welcome to the forum! Just give God the glory here!

Where did I misapply it? Are you able to read my mind? What happened to living by faith? Faith is not knowledge, is it? "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Heb 11:1 You say that "in the Godhead the three person are 100% co-equal, co-essential and...

What was unsound? I quoted scripture and asked questions! Who is not defensive about what they really believe?

Did I suggest something? I simply strive to surrender to God and stay in Spirit 24/7. I also do not insist that what I believe is always better than what others believe. God knows! "Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!" Phil 4:4 "Pray without ceasing." I Thess 5:17 "But seek...

No types nor shadows allowed then? Should we also forget parables and messages in tongues? Do we look at and partake of the whole loaf or only at and of that which already seems to fit what we have already believed? What a mighty God we serve!

Your verses from scripture are good, but not every follower is Christ is still baby babbling and nursing from a bottle of milk. Some have been moved on to the meat which God provides for those who are ready for it: "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto...

"Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou." Gen 41:40

God certainly gave us ministers to help us grow: "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the...

Do we know the difference between God's voice and the voice of strangers? Are we 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...

Yes, indeed and here a few more key verses from that chapter: "But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, So then, brethren, we are not children...

Perhaps it is simply referring to each of us who in the end of the matter exceeds the age of Methuselah by more than 31 years: "And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died." Gen 5:27 "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that...
