    What is the "New Creature"?

    NO...Not at all...it rolls off me when I see it.. I'm 76 and have been with the Lord for 54 of those years... nothing said is a surprise any more. Neither do I believe that any one person has all the truth clearly in his bag of beliefs. We all 'think' that we do, I am sure. We need each other...

    Once more I do not understand. So be patient..I must be the bane of your life! ha! Why wouldn't the Samaritan be interested in our point of view? If ours aligns with God's...for in the story the "Certain Samaritan" he had the point of view, he acted out the word of God by binding up the wounds...

    Curious?

    As you know John...I believe that we so often get side-tracked by trying to do what God has done. I find my overcoming is in watching my focus ..and it cannot be in getting ride or overcoming the old man. Agree? That I believe is the double mindedness that causes us to be unstable. Living...

    Paul and Faith Alone…

    Yes, most people just say that grace is 'unmerited favour' which it is...but the thing is, that is not only what it is!! It is deeper, wider and much richer than just unmerited favour. It is active and enabling. You said :- <We receive salvation and blessings only by the application of...

    Two particular problems with dispensationalism...

    Agree with post but do not understand the line I made BOLD..what are you saying here? It went over my head. Strange how when I was younger I loved all this dispensational stuff...but now I seem to feel..." does it really matter? If I am not 'walking the walk'..then what I believe or don't...

    Two particular problems with dispensationalism...

    Agree...what it means to one...it means something totally different to another. :) lol

    Two particular problems with dispensationalism...

    I agree...and at times it is quite worrying. Is that not the danger of becoming religion v relationship? The couple who first share with us what I call "the deeper things of God" are wonderful people...but I remember walking with the wife once and she shared with me her worry about her...

    Unlearning To Learn

    I would think it was obvious...he is probably thinking that some of us may desire to share scriptures that they used to see one way...and how God corrected their course and showed them deeper truth on the same verse ....or even one which contradicts what they first believed when a young green...

    Unlearning To Learn

    I totally agree. I bobbed along very happily for me first 15 years..."learning , listening and adding to my bag of beliefs. It was not until later that the Father started poking His finger at by happy-bag and asking me to take some things out and reexamine them in light of some other...

    How do you 'strive' or wish to be like Jesus Christ?

    A perfect balance of 'both sides' We cannot live in only one side...but both. Right foot and left foot. We place our foot...He brings forth the victory...without our step in faith there can be no victory. Co-workers with Him... And Yet...without the "beholding" moment by moment we have no...

    Curious?

    Yes I agree....and believe it is. Both speak in instability. "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways " James 1:8 and... Mark 3:25 "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand."

    What's the Weather Like in your part of the world Right Now?

    Our wet month is June...but now that we have been here for 40+ years now..I think snow with bright sunshine is far less depressing. A cold wet rainy June is miserable. But bright blue skies and cold in January is more up-lifting to the spirit. :) When we were first married and my husband...

    US nasty abortion law reversed and true Christianity on the rise

    I remember many years ago reading a story in The Readers Digest about a nurse who job included attending abortions...a saline one I think...and the baby was born whole and alive...it was stuck on a cold tin table and she was told to throw it in the incinerator. She didn't, she wrapped it in a...

    Paul and Faith Alone…

    Hello there I think that 2 Cor 6:1 is the verse that keeps me balanced in the message of grace. I have never read "not believe in vain" as having anything to do with salvation though ...but everything to do with the depth of grace.. = "God's ability in us, to do what we cant do " Strongs. In...

    Does the Pharisee or the Publican Describe You Most?

    You seem to be a little unbalanced ( obsessed) with this one subject. You may wear people out if you just beat this one drum all the time. Just saying....
