    Why are you asking me? I made no judgement one way or the other. I follow the Lord as best I can where He leads me. The only person presently concerned always with where I might lead would be my wife. I have only one wife. Not every person is to be the same part of the Body of Christ nor is...

    Beards

    Tattoos were not and are not a cause for stoning. People were to be stoned for what was in their hearts... but as with Naboth the written laws were misused. As with the children of Israel in the desert, God ran out of patience with their repeated rebellions and they died without seeing the...

    You did not understand what I was saying. What you have is another 'law' drawn up by men using what is written on paper. The people in Jerusalem when Jesus walked the streets had experts on what was written, but they needed was God... not more laws or legal interpretations. Jesus brought the...

    As for beards versus tatoos... we were born with hair growing on our bodies... We must choose either to cut or not to cut. No baby born to woman was born with tatoos already in place or ready to develop when he reached puberty. They are not the same thing! The picture of me with my beard when my...

    But God has never changed and what He ultimately expects of people has never changed. Caleb and Joshua did not make it into Promised Land because they were able to and did precisely obey the letter of the written laws God gave to Moses... Rather... "But my servant Caleb, because he had another...

    If You Believe Your Denomination Is...

    If God led you to that denomination, does the answer to the question posed matter to you? It matters certainly if you have let your calling go to your own head causing it to swell in pride instead of you yielding all that you are and all that you have to Jesus, the one who is to be our Head...

    Spirit?

    Something like... Adam and Eve were real until they disobeyed God. God sent Jesus to make it possible for people us to become real again. What men have or are is a fiction or a delusion, but if and when they are reborn, [born again or born from above] Reality begins! The difference in the...

    I agree and I speak in tongues! Give God the glory!

    That is not good. I will keep you in prayer!

    The Temple Balustrade and Salvation

    I have a couple of books with details and the author's own 'revelations' about Ark and Tabernacle and Temple I bought many years ago which are good. Although I spent much time reading and studying them I still couldn't get hold of some things. We need to always be working with God in such...

    Rejoice in the Lord Always!

    A faith so great because of the author and finisher of our faith to the point where it is more than faith... but just reading it or hearing with natural eye and natural ear will convince no one whose heart is not open. It is to them, the ones with open hearts, who will be convinced. As we see...

    pray for me.and the reason why?

    @forever-living-spirit Praying that God keep as you walk along the pathway that He puts before you until the end of your course!

    Neither give place to the devil.

    "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 shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but...

    Rejoice in the Lord Always!

    Paul has written about his close calls with natural death, but here he speaks from his heart: "And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily." I Cor 15:30-31 By rejoicing and dying every day, was he not ready when he...

    Rejoice in the Lord Always!

    How long did Moses have to wait? After 40 year he presumed he was ready when he killed the Egyptians. Only after another 40 years then with wife and family working with the animals in the desert did he finally see the burning bush and then it was time...to begin that final 40 years.

    Rejoice in the Lord Always!

    Our heads are the problem! Is not Jesus to be our Head? Remember the very graphic example of John the Baptist and his head. They cut off his head, but I suspect already he had a better Head in Jesus... and us? Are we ready for them to cut off our heads, if it comes to that?

    The Temple Balustrade and Salvation

    @rockytopva Consider carefully the laver of brass made at least in part from the looking glasses [mirrors] of women perhaps so the priests washing themselves could also look at carefully for hidden dirt... "He made the laver of bronze and its base of bronze, from the bronze mirrors of the...

    Grace vs Legalism

    The question would be... Do we live by faith or by knowledge? Remember then what faith is: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb 11:1 "But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith"...

    Grace vs Legalism

    An additional word on this covering thing. The first mention of a covering would probably be in Genesis when Adam and Eve felt the need to sew together fig leaves so they would not be embarrassed by their own nakedness. God improved on that covering, but the need for the covering was still...
