Let it go Bobby Jo! We are really finished here!

Sorry I guess I went off on my own tangent from the verses cited. Final judgement certainly belongs to God, but along our way we may have to be involved for His reasons. If the reasons turn out to be our own we could be in trouble with God.

I am not in or into your conversation on prophecy. I do, nor have I ever claimed to know all the answers. I only know what God gives me when He gives it to me. I am where He has placed me for His purpose. "For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by...

Consider this verse: "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil." Job 1:1 With what he already had in the way of experiences according to the writer inspired by God, Job was perfect. Perhaps the thief...

OK... I have no problem with what you are saying for our conversation, that is between you and me alone. When someone actually throws stones [spiritually speaking] at me it can still be quite painful even after so many years experience with the Lord. I understand and I tolerate because I must...

Seemingly you speak essentially in the cliches of established church groups or persons and include perhaps at times paraphrases of scriptures which match your beliefs... I guess. I have tried a few times to read what you have written on this forum and unravel it but only with difficulty have I...

Oh, I believe that reading and studying is more than nice. Paul did write this: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." II Tim 2:15 The problem is when people presume that by Bible study alone they will come to or...

@Holy999 Perhaps a place to start on your question is with these verses... but you may come to see that people will disagree as to what conclusions should be drawn: "Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth...

This motion, this move away from the world and worldly things, this sanctification, this holiness is the perfection to which Jesus clearly directs us: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matt 5:48 This is that, according to some, impossible goal...

Indeed, rather this: "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 faith, and of the knowledge...

Indeed there is a time to love or to hate as well as a time kill or to heal: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to...

And also against the beastly nature within us?

Indeed, given a choice between a can of Coca Cola and a can of beer, always choose the beer for health purposes... in spite of the common belief that the beer is worse. For one can, the Coke is most certainly worse. When my wife was pregnant with our first child her an old Dutch obstetrician...

Pears!

No I am not judging his intentions, but rather hoping that he will be very careful with his words so that his intentions are not misunderstood. His word hit me the wrong way, which is why I responded at all...but then again I am perhaps oversensitive about any general attack against a person...

Your experience with @Bobby Jo unfortunately has been my own. When he first appeared on the forum, I really tried to understand and to discuss with him. He is especially insistent on bringing that one verse [Luke 22:36], also repeated on this thread, into nearly every conversation as if it and...

I have no difficulty with your historical sketch or what I believe you really are hoping to express, but in your other post your words may have been understood as a more general condemnation than you intended. Even though some might argue that Germans were the bad guys in WWII, not every...

You should understand that I do not disregard the Word of God, but our understanding of what that is differs. Am I important? We are important, you and I for God to accomplish all of His purposes, be it via the right or the left hand. God loves even those who take a wrong turn...

Actually in one my earliest conversations with you I explained to you my understanding what that verse meant. You did not respond to what I said. Is that what you would define as ignoring? For what it is worth to you: I don't ignore any verses in my Bibles as I read, study and pray each and...

Not into the right ATs I guess.
