Was I really evasive? What was Jesus when He remained silent rather than defending himself with the Word as we well know that He was able to do? "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is...

That verse [II Tim 2:15] tells to study but it does not tell us that study alone will result in us knowing God's Truth. If it did then the best Bible scholars and students would be those closest to God. God is no respecter of persons. His judgment is fair. He looks at the heart of a man to...

But are you correct in every point of your beliefs? God has over the years called me out of more than one "denomination" or group. In each one where I strived to fit in I could not. Finally two years ago I came out of the last one where I also could not fit. Every day for many years now I...

Well I am not debating for or against your position. Rather I continue to strive to serve God seeking His Kingdom and righteousness. The Bible can be and has been used to support any number of opposing viewpoints, beliefs, doctrines, etc. I have during my lifetime been in several different camps...

Aren't you are very quick to put words in someone's mouth because they do not say precisely the same thing that you say? Are you already beyond seeing through a glass darkly like the Apostle Paul and do you then now always see "face to face"?

Perhaps most who name themselves Christian revere no day at all. Sunday was decided as The day for them by their families or friends or ministers long before they were born to their natural mothers. Most of them have never given it a serious thought. It is simply the way that it is and the way...

Also praying for this!

I hope you don't mind my corrections to your post to make it easier to understand. I tried to retain all of your points as you expressed them. I neither added nor subtracted anything, nor did I make any comments of my own.

Even so... God does not destroy anything that is in His image. But the Fire will consume us if we are not in His image or any part of us that is not in His image. Remember also the three Hebrews thrown into Nebuchadnezzar's furnace.

Amen!

When God teaches us, using the Bible or something else, I believe, the necessary difference is in the Holy Spirit. Then the question might what is the Holy Spirit and who is being taught or led by the Holy Spirit? You do not see the Bible as I see it, but perhaps that is another communication...

What the Bible teaches is always a problem when we express it that way. I don't believe that the Bible teaches although a person may learn something from the Bible. I express it this way because two or three or more persons can and do read the same verses from the same Bible and come up with...

And our God is still a consuming fire! Who does He consume?

You are undoubtedly not the only one to so vouch for his own ways. I believe me as well. Are we really joking?

Some people will insist that you take stand for a Trinity or against a Trinity. I don't believe that God insists upon either one from us. It is God that we need to please rather than any man or church group. Very simply consider Jesus' words here: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his...

But... many people use the phrase "life abundant in Christ" with reference to their hoped for rewards. Do they look more to a Resurrection than to being close to the One they are supposed to love above all things? What then is their expectation? A reward or rewards? Did we only marry our wives...

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Rom 12:1

@My Dreams Praying that God will give you direction and timing!

God will dwell [tabernacle] with you or me under what circumstances? "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I...

I also watched the whole thing. I won't say he changed my mind, but he certainly had my attention throughout...!
