    The bride of Christ

    If the epistle writers were writing to the Church rather than the Bride perhaps your question may be understood in differences between the two. Every believer should be striving to make the Bride, to be a part of the undefiled one of Song 6:9. Being a part of the Body, means Jesus will rest in...

    The bride of Christ

    In connection with that what is this saying? "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." I Cor 11:3 What is Jesus then? The Head of the Body of Christ? What is the rib taken out of the 1st man Adam? Is...

    The bride of Christ

    Are we children of God or only servants working by the power of God to overcome so as to be sons [children] and thereby heirs? Do people at time speak of being born again when they are still only stewards with no inheritance rights? "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be...

    The bride of Christ

    @Waiting on him I've been in several discussions over the years at least touching on this subject. Here is one from 6-10-2015. Since the person in the discussion with me is no longer active on this forum, I have left off his name. His words are in blue while mine are in black: Quote from...

    The bride of Christ

    Jesus overcame the world [John 16:33], but by looking around us, we know that was not physical planet Earth. What Jesus overcame was his flesh and the ways of his flesh, which when followed lead to sin. Jesus overcame every obstacle or temptation which would have led him to sin. He had the...

    The bride of Christ

    Be careful with time. Man is so bound by it, he can scarcely conceive that it shall be no more... but see: "And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are...

    The reason for the season.

    Too late on the Flouride warnings... but thanks! Back to Ho, Ho, Ho...!

    Burl Ives, Sometimes Reminisce

    I always liked westerns. In the 1950's and later I watched a lot of the old B westerns as well as newer ones. As the years went by the westerns were changing... modernizing... and many of them became... to me, unwatchable. Now I rarely turn on the living room TV. My wife watches the sports...

    The reason for the season.

    This reminded me of our first apartment after my wife and I were married. It was upstairs with no elevators... but we were young and strong, no trouble, right? Forever, right? I had given her, at 100 lbs., a piggyback ride up those stairs and she decided to return the favor. She was strong in...

    The reason for the season.

    But the spirit we should have and feel is the Holy Spirit, which most certainly is real even if we place another name on it like Father Christmas, Santa Claus. St. Nicholas, or Kris Kringle! Speaking of it this way to a child is not lying to them. The explanation to them could and should rather...

    Burl Ives, Sometimes Reminisce

    Of course I am familiar with Carol Burnett, but cannot remember ever watching her show. She was a comedian, but I have no opinion of her comedy. That in itself is strange for I don't know why I never watched. Possibly there always a conflict with a favored program, but there it is...???

    Killing in the name of (Smurfette)

    What knowledge is this? Certainly not that which man is able to gain by his own efforts! "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." Prov 1:7 What is more important than knowledge? "And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all...

    Burl Ives, Sometimes Reminisce

    I probably watch Lawrence Weld more these days than I did when it was Prime Time TV. I enjoy the old songs and music, not only gospel. My mother had quite a collection of the old vinyl 78 RPM records from before my time she used to listen to... Eventually I would put on the phonograph myself to...

    Burl Ives, Sometimes Reminisce

    "A Little Bitty Tear let me down" "It's Just my Funny Way of Laughing" I always loved the songs of Burl Ives...

    Killing in the name of (Smurfette)

    People's ATs [absolute truths] get them into trouble as they walk ahead blindly: "Where there is no vision, the people perish:" Prov 29:18 But there is a vision available to those who really desire to see and understand! A blurred vision is a starting place, but if properly directed a person...

    Killing in the name of (Smurfette)

    The approach I take is the one God has shown me over a lifetime of years. The belief or faith in God will indeed leave a person in reality if he is continuously growing toward God. The very good things of God are the reality, God alone being good. Everything else is fiction although most people...
