"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say...

If you cannot see it, I won't argue the point as only God gives any real increase to you or to me... "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." I Cor 3:6-7

Indeed if God set Jesus over all even as Pharaoh set Joseph over all! Why could it not be so? Can God effectively give such power to a lesser being? Is that beyond God? Who would limit God? "Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the...

Spitting image of our Minnie Pearl. She went to live with a dear Internet sister in Nebraska along with her big brother. Rusty. We don't visit them much anymore as we would like as the trip from Oklahoma has become difficult for us. We took them there in 2012 at the invitation of that dear...

What a mighty God we serve!

Leave it to Him indeed! Thank you for your input here. The whole of scripture may used by God to speak to us with what He knows that we need to hear. Too many people too worried about tomorrow and about what is to happen after the dirt is shoveled over their faces. Sometimes speaking of heaven...

Charity is above faith and hope so you are not wrong to go that way. I, as you have seen, have some other ideas which are unpopular with some, but when we are working in charity as per I Cor 13:4-7 will not God be pleased with both of us? I believe that sometimes God shows us things in our...

Unless there is a likelihood or even a chance that we might be among them when we run out of our own allotted time. We should never quit striving toward and surrendering to God. This is one of the dangers of getting too secure in a doctrine like OSAS as I see it. We don't want to already be dead...

Just so! Everyone wants to put God into a box... That goes for me too. Only when He is always leading us and we are always following Him, will we always get it right. Who has done that? Who is able to do that? Only by the power of God in us is it even a possibility... but quenching the Spirit...

No, you are presuming Webster's definition or a definition you have learned rather than one that actually fits all usages in the scriptures. Below is just a small sampling the usage of the word "for ever"... Believe me there is more than one to which your "obvious" definition will not work...

Or considering then how Jesus expressed himself here: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matt 5:48 Can we get someone who has all of the right answers to back us up all of the time so we only sin the "right" way?

Ah, yes, and my flesh is at time sensitive to incorrect accusations especially when too much time had elapsed since I was in a closet alone with God. Still praying that God will help me attain to that 'praying without ceasing' and 'rejoicing in the Lord always'! Oh, to always control my tongue...

Considering that God and Christ are foremost in my life 24/7 you cannot understand what you are saying here.

I have to continuously interpret or have interpreted what people mean when they write things like what you have written here. I usually know what I mean with the word, "literal" but I usually avoid using it because it confuses the issue making understanding and thereby communication difficult or...

I am not playing games not on a subject like this.

This morning I said to my wife, Merry Christmas, because on December 25 we have no snow whereas this A.M. it was white when I woke up very early and it is falling heavily with a temperature of 7 degrees F and a wind chill of -13F. Not a good day to go out to do anything. I shoveled the snow off...

Welcome to the forum. There is no requirement here that a person specify to which, if any, denomination or group he belongs... although many have identified themselves in that way. I have never been a Unitarian, but I was an active member in Oneness, Jesus Only groups.. [Jesus equals the One...

Praying for you now!

@Gideons300 "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision" Joel 3:14 Help us dear Lord!

How long is the "for ever" used in scripture? What is time to God? Even if the smoke never stops rising, why should we presume that the torment which initiated the smoke continues as well. I am no expert in astronomy or physics, but consider that the light from the closest star other than our...
