The difficulty for me is not in mistrusting the scriptures, but then again as we see on this forum people using the same Bibles draw different conclusions from the same verses. Did Paul ever come up short based on his knowledge of the scriptures? I suspect he knew the OT better than most us...

Aversion? Perhaps to error, but I have encountered some of God's Truth just about everyplace I have been a member for any period of time. When I first started my walk with God I did not know about following the Spirit or quenching the Spirit. If anyone knew about it they never said anything to...

"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Phil 4:11

Absolutely! In the scriptures we can, and people do, find support for almost any position a person might take on an issue. The correct interpretation is God's. If you say or I say that we have THE correct interpretation and were led to it by the Holy Spirit, they may say the same thing. God...

We may not like it, but if it is, it is!

Unfortunately, while it might be easy to find the truth for both doctrines in the scripture if an unbiased search were to be made... who is unbiased? Someone has already decided what they will find in their search based on the past findings of _(fill in the blank)_!

Amen! But then again some never grow unto the end of their course! They are stunted early on or stopped by some man-made road block along the way...

Carry on!

That may be the best political entry of the day!

"And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Ecc 12:12

More than sentiment my friend! It is how to live! My wife would become very upset with me before long if I never talked with her. Actually I talk with her a whole lot every day. Is my connection with my wife more important than my connection with God?

You are quite welcome but as you must know, it is a true story. Not only were there no seat belt laws, there were no seatbelts!

Seatbelts? I remember when I was a little boy riding in the back seat of our car with my brother while our parents were in the front seat. My brother was older and taller and we seldom rode sitting down. We stood up holding onto the back of the front seat for a better view of everything. One day...

Continuing to pray and give God the glory!

Be careful to drink also the Blood as well as eating his Flesh. I got caught there out of balance with insufficient drink. God let me back out of that hole, but not without a very strong bit of chastisement... Each day now I must begin with eating and drinking and continue to partake throughout...

Consider here the concern of both Abraham and God for Ishmael: "And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with...

When a person actually communicates with God regularly, daily, approaching hopefully more closely to that "without ceasing" there will be no hidden traps to catch the unwary because God sees it all... Now. Are we in touch with Him Now or only every now and then? Praise His name!

I have to pray earnestly as never before every morning before I can log in here one more time. Believe me there is pressure on me to avoid this place! Some who I thought would stand always have changed their spots it seems to me. I hope I am wrong regarding each one where it seemed that way. The...

That is how it is. Some people may want to make it a last minute thing that only really started with Covid-19 and the 2020 Presidential election. Hopefully not too many people really believe that! When I came home from my 12 months in Viet Nam in August of 1965 it just was trying penetrate my...
