As you indicate the very word "law" and the meaning we apply to it is often our problem in walking with God. Even the writers, such as the Apostle Paul, may have thought they were speaking of the literal black and white laws God gave to Moses, but those laws were very often simply types and...

Thanks for your reply. I remember when it happened [in 2010] I discussed these same things with my wife and we decided essentially the same things. God, of course, knows the finally result, and as has been said, God is fair and loving.

There are in situations like you describe no black and white absolute rules in place to follow. We don't know all of the person's heart or all that God knows... that is all of the facts. And God judges always justly, which also means fairly. I knew a young man, the son of my best friend, who...

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones." Prov 3:5-8

Do you really believe that the NT [or the OT] is completely black and white, and when one time you have figured out an answer it will be the same the next time? Can we similarly so completely understand God? "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD...

Then if heaven is also here, would she not already be in heaven or heaven in her? What and where is heaven?

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." I Cor 6:19-20 We are stewards now of that which God has...

"For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness." Psalm 84:10

Healthy in the flesh or in the Spirit?

"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Phil 4:11

@Holy999 Dead people walking around today love where they are...in death... and Jesus describes where they are here: "But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.' Matt 8:22 They all arrived there as the offspring of dead people: "But of the fruit of the tree which...

30 pieces of silver or...? Give God the glory! "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be...

"No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." John 10:18

@Holy999

Your questions were not specifically directly to me, but if I may... Considering what Paul wrote in the following verse, how are we to approach and respond to your questions? "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they...

@Holy999 Perhaps that is the wrong question. Rather, ask, How often should we pray? And Paul tells us here: "Pray without ceasing." I Thess 5:17 But then men cannot do that, right? "And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?" Mark 10:26 But as...

@My Dreams Praying!

Sometimes it is impossible to speak to another person without offending them because they are so certain that their own stand is the right one or even the best one. Remember the question Cain asked the Lord? "...Am I my brother's keeper?" Gen 4:9 The answer really as per Jesus is, Yes... but...

@Bella2005 Welcome to the forum!

The population seems to be increasing on the forum which makes it more difficult to read and answer all posts. It has been years since I have tried to read them all. Lately I have been reading even fewer and posting less than was once the case.
