@My Dreams Praying for those suffering in Beirut!

Thank you for responding and clarifying here!

Amen! Give God the glory!

I don't believe that really we are that far apart on this. I won't discuss in more depth at the moment because much of what I might say would likely be speculation or simply belief on my part. We keep on reading and studying and talking to God and letting Him form and reform things in us as we...

Just be careful with that. I believe that you are [?] but others look for too much here in the way of pleasure and good times here on planet Earth. We may receive them but consider the case of Stephen in the book of Acts. He died physically a young man having probably very little good in the way...

Consider this: "And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be...

I know you do and thanks! Remember this: "This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

Perhaps @bbyrd009 was being sarcastic, but he was also expressing what many people act out in effect by the way they "serve" God and the reason they "serve" God. They, like the Pharisee of old, serve God for some reward or glory rather than because they love God. One of those rewards is...

This is where I am at the moment on this. Is not the physical body a temporary vessel holding us that is dying whether we are serving God or not? It seems you are asking if the physical body is equal to the "old man" Paul mentions? I believe that there is a "me" that chooses to go the way of...

@marks In the Old Testament under the law given to Moses, the sins for which a particular animal sacrifice were required were sins of ignorance. That is, they were sins committed in error or by accident or by oversight, or lack of knowledge, etc. Sins that were committed premeditatedly...

"...at home in the body..."! That is more comfortable in the flesh and the ways of the flesh than in God and the Way of God! We are of necessity then "absent from the Lord". Our foolish choice and are there not many who walk that way... while regularly sitting in pews even?

That is... to move from 2nd to 3rd heaven now! Impossible for man alone, but for God?

Is that how you became a lightweight [as per your avatar]? You visit a person who specializes in shrinking you [rather than your mind and/or emotions]. I need a bit of that myself in the flesh. There is a bit too much of me... if you know what I mean... LOL

Sorry my friend, but I was not responding to the whole of the OP, nor to the whole of the conversation but only to your specific words, then who cares , which I did highlight in blue. Carry on as you will...

Creeping worldliness is what it has been named. Being in the world, does not condemn a believer in God, but following worldly ways is how many are distracted from what should always be their first love. A tatoo may not always lead a person astray, but to me it has the appearance of a 'good...

More answers that in truth are not answers, at least, not answers that the amateur can bank on and act on with assurance that he can be heading in the right direction. Help us dear Lord for in you alone may we trust...

Just keep on smiling and giving God the glory!

God cares! "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 And if we are to be like Him, then we must also care: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we...

@DPMartin @Yehren The 'norm' : Similar to 'common sense'! Really always changing according to circumstances, but people speak of it as if everyone knows what it is to them. Quite often, or even most often, it is not!

@Anthony D'Arienzo "Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the...
