    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    Totally agree. What a waste of a life..always waiting never living and enjoying. My old mum used to Quote:- "Jam tomorrow, Jam yesterday, but never Jam today." :D an expression for a never-fulfilled promise. It originates from Lewis Carroll's 1871 book Through the Looking Glass This is a...

    Co- Redemptrix

    Yes I agree. Do you think that repentance starts with "seeing". I mean, until we see that we need saving, we bob along in life thinking we are okay. I remember beginning to "see" that I had a need, and it was followed with a great longing to be 'with-Him' at the end. I started 'seeing'...

    Why did God need to give us free will, or did He need to? Do we really have it?

    Aah, you have it! :) \0/ \0/ \0/ As I read yours I wondered if you had ever read Gene Edwards book "The Divine Romance" I think it came out in the 70's or 80's...I am too lazy to get out of bed and find it to check. ( it is 20 degs below freezing today...with windchill factors of 28...

    Why do we hear a different message from neighbor?

    EXCELLENT post Stranger...and so clearly said. Great balance. Two thumbs up! If only people had ears to hear it!! Paul says...Eph 4:3- "Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There IS one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your...

    Why did God need to give us free will, or did He need to? Do we really have it?

    Yes! Sure they do. We knew a christian woman back in the 70's in the group we were in.....who wanted to be free of devils which bound her and made her life, her husbands life and kids miserable...she had many devils. Every time the devils were being cast out...she would jump up and run out...

    Asking Prayer for Healing.

    Hi there I did know that for years there has not been a balance between my potassium level and sodium level...they fight all the time...with potassium high, the sodium is low. Sigh. :rolleyes: So I try to not eat high potassium things...and I'm no longer abstaining from salt...Rita, just don't...

    When lust is conceived

    Hi Mark. I see there is still a gap between our belief. But slowly we are getting there. ( I think) We agree that grace is not without accountability. 2 Cor 6:1 "As God's co-workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain." Grace is not so that we have licence for the flesh to...

    Mark of the Beast

    YES! So I am guessing you chose your avatar because you believe that YOU, have all your beliefs correct and right! :rolleyes: Do you realize how many of “you” are around Christian sites, that are convinced that they have everything locked down and “correct”... Have at it!

    Self analysis of your Christian witness

    It's not in his explaining...it is all in your/our understanding of the explaining..ScottA :) I so enjoy his posts, because he always keeps my old brain cells working...and they need that. ;)

    Baptism

    Haha! Says you!! :) And the usual answer is..."And what about the thief on the cross?" No water up there on his cross! :)

    Mark of the Beast

    @truth333 Well I will maybe read this thread...but sadly I am put right off with you statement "Here is the truth regarding the Mark of the beast." Now... If I had a $ for every time I have heard this in my 56 years in Christianity. Good luck on this thread...I will keep my eye on...

    Why do we hear a different message from neighbor?

    Thanks for your reply BOL ... but we will obviously differ on this one... I believe 100% that God looks deep in the heart at our hearts motivation .. I do not believe that when we all stand face to face with Him to give account..that He will then "check out our doctrine".... He will check...

    Why do we hear a different message from neighbor?

    @Miss Hepburn Thanks for info re Ignore button... That sound too much like work to me...plus a bit complicated, that is why I have always been to scared to even try it! Ha! :D

    Rapture Anticipation not rapture anxiety!

    I have already met Him! And for 5 decades have walked with Him.. While in prayer I often feel like I am 'caught up' in wonderful rapture on His glorious presence. My feet do not have to leave this earth for that to happen....I am not "waiting for"...I am "enjoying now..." I hope you are...

    "The Carpenter's Son"

    It took me a while to notice that this was in the Praise Section. :) I first thought it was for discussion... Yes indeed ...Praise the Lord for the Great Creator became our saviour..✟ We are blessed indeed. Thank You Lord!!

    Watch out for angels

    Well I would say that the angels who appeared to the shepherds at the birth were indeed "preaching the gospel. Gospel = meaning..the GOOD NEWS. Luke 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." And also more angelic "Good News" (= gospel) “Behold, a virgin...

    Asking Prayer for Healing.

    Thank you Frank.. I should have updated this thread... I mentioned in the Nov 2nd post Post number #20 how I ended up in the Emergency room at the hospital with a suspected stroke...I was so weak, wobbly and unbalanced. Felt nauseous, dizzy and confused. The end of the story was after...

    When lust is conceived

    That is foolishness ...Then they do not really understand grace. Grace is never without accountability...Paul makes that very plain. Grace with no accountability make the message of grace a mockery.
