Give God the glory! Praise his name!

Animosity and hard feelings will continue without regard to any designation or the lack thereof. It is the nature of the beast that man is. "I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts."...

Some or even many may be wrong in some of their claims, but we must walk on with Him regardless. We can and should be doing that without knowing or having to know how well everyone else is doing. God knows about them! Who else needs to...? It is certainly not my business to know... "He that...

"And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit." I Cor 15:45 Anyone being quickened or having the words they consume from the scriptures quickened in them are being taught indeed. Looking at the population of planet Earth or even at...

And if we are selfish in our ways, does it matter whether we believe in One God, or a three in one God, or in three gods? Did Jesus teach us to first become aware of those three options, if any, are correct... or did he teach this? "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness...

Cementing perhaps is the word you choose because they cannot or will not hear your belief or opinion on something? Isn't this cementing what has taken place or is taking place in church groups [churches, denominations, etc.] outside of the Internet? The guy or guys in charge in those church...

It would be, as I see it, a rare person who really goes by "Scripture alone", even though may say that they do. They also go by their own head, their own logic and hopefully, sometimes at least, the leading of Holy Spirit. [Ideally should not we always be led by the Holy Spirit?]. That they do...

Are we to take everything written in scripture as a literal command from God? A problem with 'literal' is that people have different views on what that means and different translations of the scripture may also make a difference. It is very important, I believe, to always follow the lead of...

Consider all of those things and consider God. People may indeed judge us... and they often do... no matter what we do or don't do. Just be certain not to rule in favor of people and against God.

Compare it to Apostle Paul's experience with the poisonous snake that took hold of his hand [Acts 28]. He shook it off into the fire and suffered no ill effects whatsoever which greatly the surprised the natives who saw him do it. Apparently the snake was quite deadly. Then consider this verse...

And just adding a few more kisses here: As Samuel anointed the first King of Israel he kissed him... "Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?" I Sam 10:1 But then...

@Mike Waters "Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men." Prov 8:30-31 Even as planet Earth is not easily inhabitable by men because of cold...

Thanks Mike! It worked perfectly. I have tried different things a couple of times before without success. I remember that some of them were quite long and cluttered up the post I was trying to read. That is why I cut them out in the first place. I simply forgot how I did it. The option to open...

@bbyrd009 None of us are in our flesh alone qualified to make the determination... but what does it mean to be "in the Spirit" and to be "led by the Spirit"? Delusions are available from God to those who do not love Truth. How do we keep ourselves from such delusions and in the place of loving...

What I believe that God allows without interference for a time is to choose Him or to choose mammon. The time allowed is our allotted time as a man of flesh until there is no more time for us. Once we have finished our course no more choices then. Then it is too late. All of us have had...

Thank you Mike. I fully agree on that point!

Hmmm? And where did you obtain the number of that chapter?

Mike at some point probably years ago I changed my profile on this forum so that "signature lines" do not show up for me. I don't how to change it back even temporarily. Would you mind posting your signature line here so I might have an idea of what you mean? Thanks! The pond, that bit of water...

As I believe I said, we may believe what we will... and people certainly do... but God does not twist arms and neither should we.

Who is able to hear His voice? When you speak to me would it be presumptuous for me to say," That's bbyrd009!" You and others may say, "But with God it is not the same." No it certainly is not, but should we deny him speaking to our hearts as the Scribes and Pharisees denied who Jesus was...
