This participation in a discussion of the Godhead on my part is a rare thing any more. What does God require of us in such things? Different things for different people according their experiences and knowledge and beliefs. God is able to sort it all out in each of us. He will direct us to...

Thank you for trying and actually providing another verse, but consider the whole loaf, the whole Word of God my friend in order to understand what God is saying to anyone and then be led, truly led by the Holy Spirit to where He leads you. We are Not all walking exactly the same pathway at...

Thanks for the font. It does help although I have found the worst thing that people do in their posts is to run them with no effort to make paragraphs. Knowing the proper way to make paragraphs according to the English teacher is not to me the most important thing for I have trouble with that...

But if a person is honestly believing and seeking His righteousness and His kingdom, why should he be in danger with regard to any errors in his theology? You or I might have limited patience with what we consider a person's errors, but how great is our God? How fair is He?

One God, one arm... then carry this forward if you would to one Body of Christ? Are we becoming effectively or in some way a part of God? Or are we already a part of Him? "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name...

But perhaps there are worse things to be. I have been naive especially about carnal and/or secular since I can remember. Of course early in life I was too naive to realize just how naive I really was. It took many years to be able to look back and see what I had been and more years still before...

Precisely! Solomon was given an additional blessing from God. He did not ask for it and he did not expect it. Some people, like Stephen, are simply taken from here early. This world of men on planet Earth can be hell, but sometimes God will bless us materially in it. If He does not, can we take...

Yes, as with some supposed atheists who come on here. Why do some people even bother? Does someone think they get 'brownie points' just for showing up and posting something? Of what would such points consist? A one way ticket to a place called heaven? Hmmmm? I have been frustrated about it...

Do you presume to know what God wants to gives us and the means by which He will accomplish His purpose when we are surrendered to Him? Lots of people wanting hand outs from God instead wanting what God wants for them. Remember this? "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." Matt 6:9 We...

@My Dreams Praying now!

I am reminded here again of my dear old pastor. They removed him as the head of the little assembly pointing their fingers at his advanced age and frailty and forgetfulness. He was and is all of those, but his Spirit should have always been the important thing. They really did not remove him...

"And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." Luke 2:52 And us?

@Christophany What the OP speaks about is delusion, is it not? So then is it perhaps a love for the Truth that is needed? "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God...

Does the Word of God dwell ON the earth or IN it? Is not this lump of flesh a bit of earth formed by God? And what is Jesus/Yeshua saying here? "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in...

I would be careful about using the word, "true" like that. If it were the True Church, the enemy could not have taken over. Then again, people perhaps have been a part, but distracted or apathetic or whatever they have slipped from the place within the Church which could have been theirs. Is...

With John the Baptist, we see his physical head removed as a type for us. Our Head is to be Jesus. He is the Head of the Body of Christ. Are we a part or are we to be a part of His Body! It won't necessarily require a physical decapitation, but for some that may be the way of it.

@DancesWithGnostics Welcome to the forum!

@Bartholomew Jones One more time... "But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way." I Cor 12:31 "Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy." I Cor 14:1 Where do we start and where do we finish? What is this "more...

@My Dreams Praying for God to accomplish His will in this situation!

And then there are some who are so willing to please God they simply give it all back to Him! "And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath...
