My old pastor, now 95 years old gives a testimony on behalf of his father, a World War One veteran who served in France. He was full blood Chippewa from Ontario, Canada, who was called in his time the "Indian healer" because he prayed over many and many were healed. My pastor as boy witnessed...

I actually agree with your words although it is likely that our underlying understanding differs. I look to these verses in support of our need for helpers provided to us by God: "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the...

One that I can never forget is this one: "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." James 4:3 What is amiss? When I knew that my natural father was dying, I could have prayed for God to intervene, as Hezekiah did for himself. I believe that...

Not to intrude especially but hopefully to help with a verse that says that body is the church: "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence" Col 1:18 "For as the body is one, and hath many...

Why did you not answer not even one of my questions? Are we discussing or making declarations? Declarations are probably better suited to a blog!

@My Dreams Praying as well!

Did Jesus come to "reform" the ways of the Jews who were supposed to be following the laws God gave to Moses? "Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat...

We could make up a whole new set of rules with the NT by pulling out this verse and that verse an compiling a list similar to the 613 for the children of Jacob... but then what would or should we do with the following verses? Here Paul expresses how it is supposed to be: "All things are lawful...

How literal is your understanding? How carnal was Jesus? "Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not: They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not: They have hands, but they handle...

The Body of Christ is being prepared to provide a place for the Head [Jesus] of it to rest. The Head, is ready... are we, the parts of the Body, ready to assume our proper role? "And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not...

You quote some good verses which actually provide for us a short and accurate definition of Love [or Charity in the KJV]. That entire chapter is rich and continues to bless me each time I read in spite of the dozens of times I went through it previously. Everybody wants to be right in a...

There you go denying my testimony and my Life in Christ which began so many years ago [[70?] and continues today. You should be careful when you "... darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?" Job 38:2 I won't deny that people can blessed when they take communion in Catholic churches or in...

I had forgotten about this thread I started last year. Toward the end people kind of went off on tangents or worse into personal confrontations with others instead of trying to really understand each other and God. How does God speak to us? Did Jesus ever speak to any man who did not understand...

I have gone to [attended physically] 'church' very faithfully most of my life. Two years ago an event occurred where I have been attending for more than 10 years. After that event I was actually visiting various church meetings in my community regularly to see if God had another place for me...

You keep using the word, 'evangelical', but I really don't know what you mean by it. Are some Protestant churches not evangelical? Could you explain the difference you understand between those that are and those that are not so we will hopefully communicate a little better. My only experience as...

Nothing but fellowship in what you call "Protestant evangelical churches"? Fellowship can be a good thing, but without the Word of God [Jesus is the Word of God] in the midst, it is not working as part of the Body of Christ. It is just another social gathering. I have been to lots of gatherings...

Indeed... God loses no battles, but man on his own, leading with his own fleshly mind, certainly does! If the Lord is on my side...? "I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?" Psalm...

Church... or the Word of the Lord? "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run...

@Nancy Condemned is where we all have been. It is where all unbelievers are. Convicted by God's Truth is where we should be. When we have been so convicted are we not then moving away from that place of condemnation? Once we have started on the that road, the highway of holiness, as God's...
