Before Jesus came, men, for the most part, had only the death which was given to Adam and Eve and their offspring. If we are to believe the scriptures Jesus was Light and Jesus was Life. Is Jesus confined to the body of flesh that walked around planet Earth on the land of Israel 2000 years ago...

Why do we need to know the answer to that question except possibly to decide if there is any possibility that the OP being correct? To agree with the OP perhaps it must be so, but fortunately for us, we do not have make that decision... We should perhaps leave it the writer of the OP to explain...

"As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." John 9:5 "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world,..." John 17:11 "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." Matt 5:14 "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the...

When I first became a Pentecostal they taught in favor of a pre-trib rapture based on essentially one verse of scripture. Never having read the Bible before I simply accepted what they told me. Later on my mind and heart were changed on that issue. If we are able to remain always on the Lord's...

"These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment." Prov 24:23 "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" Acts 10:34

Yes, missing it a little here or a little there... or perhaps a lot, can be a big deal. The thing is... do we recognize that we may be coming up short in knowledge and therefore are we continuing to seek as Jesus advised us to do? When do we stop and sit back on our laurels, so to speak? Never...

Off on a little bit of a tangent here, but is there any church where they always teach the Truth as per God and nothing but that Truth? Is there anyone physical place that has it all and teaches it all? How does God view such places where the Truth is missed in some part?

Each year for the past several years we have sent a box of candy to my old pastor at this time of year. I see him for Bible study every Wednesday morning, but when he received the candy he called to thank us. My wife tells me that his wife was constantly after him to cut back on such things, and...

Perhaps all of those and more...What has God shown us? What has He yet to show us? What is His limit? What is ours? "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath...

Nothing new yet. Keep on praying!

While this may be true, I still, after more than 70 years, love pumpkin pie more than any other kind of pie. Does that mean perhaps that the growth of my taste buds has been stunted? Hmmm? LOL :):D

Willie T is one of those missed here. He is among the witnesses mentioned here watching as we continue our run? "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with...

Not many I see speaking of the three heavens. Good to hear you bring it up. But, then again how many will read your post and care enough to pursue it further? Give God the glory!

Amen!

Amen sister!

I work harder at keeping in touch with some people now. Some who are I gone I only assume that they have died. I do not know. Others, such @Willie T on this forum we know have passed on. Some, like Nancy #2, I do not even have clue about. On the baptisms, some people as you have seen on this...

Our own history, perhaps as children, watching movies or even plays at school showing the birth of Jesus, too often showed the visits of the wise men and the shepherds as if they were all there at the same time. Those images in our own memories perhaps tend to confuse the issue in our minds. The...

Essentially I agree. I usually relate this to the type or shadow seen in three Hebrews in Daniel 3. Thrown into the fire, it burned off their bindings, the ropes with which they were tied. The soldiers of the king, Nebuchadnezzar, on the other hand, were killed when they came too close to that...

Yes, we are together on it thus far. Jesus brought to men the possibilities cast aside by their first carnal parents. Jesus effectively gave to each of us the opportunity to do better than that first man Adam had done... to actually take hold of and to partake of the other Tree, the Tree of Life...

When I first attended a Pentecostal church in 1976 I was taught that speaking in tongues was a necessary to salvation and necessary as evidence of having the Holy Ghost. Under my 3rd non-Catholic pastor I began to doubt this. It was a young Christian school teacher, rather than the pastor who...
