Certainly! But give God the glory!

Actually I do. I received a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Language and Literature in 1971. I was in Mexico City beginning to work toward another degree when I met my wife and went in another direction. Formally my Spanish studies were done, but in 1978 a couple of years after I really met Jesus...

Yes, the Catholics are right when they speak of the confused mess to be found in the multitude of Protestant churches that have come into existence since Martin Luther. The whole thing parallels what happened at the Tower of Babel [Gen. 11]. The whole group was building their own way to heaven...

Our prayers cannot save people nor cause them to change their decisions. Rather I believe that because of the fervent prayer of a righteous man God will open a person's eyes to see his own errors and perhaps a better way. Having seen, he still must make the decision to change himself. We cannot...

Even so... May God be with you!

No, he had to have God input! Without faith, the gospel story we read about Jesus is also just another story. There are unbelievers around us who will call it just that. Are you also then an unbeliever only accepting what you can perceive with the natural five senses and conclude using the...

I testified to what I heard with my ears and my heart from or through that man for the benefit of readers whose hearts are open to the power of God. You ask questions, but I see no faith in them. He learned from God!

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your...

No!

I really enjoyed listening to it. Very good!

And then there was the illiterate man I met from Central America who spoke only Spanish but was overflowing with the love of God. He had never read a Bible because he could not read at all. But He was filled with the Spirit and I heard the Word of God come forth from his mouth. Illiteracy does...

What error was that? Admitting that every person is attracted to things which if pursued lead to sin? I can look at a pretty girl without sinning... but if I let my thoughts dwell on that girl too much or too deeply in the wrong manner then what Jesus said comes to mind. "But I say unto you...

God has given each person his allotted portion of time to accomplish what? God has a preferred goal or purpose and He will help anyone who ask sincerely to attain to it, but He has left other alternatives for anyone else. Most people I believe take hold of the other alternatives. God wants the...

@Anthony D'Arienzo You see what happens when two people cite the scriptures with different conclusions already in mind. The scriptures do not lie, but only God is always the correct Interpreter. Why we do bother posting our conclusions at all if faith has nothing to do with it? I have an...

Indeed, people will sometimes work hard to, as they often say, put it in context... but is not the proper context the whole of the course [physical life span] given to each of us by God?

@Joseph77 Yes, in a sense to some people my question would be what they call rhetorical not really needing or calling for an answer or maybe no one actually having an answer. Consider however... What did Jesus mean here? "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In...

You wrote a whole bunch of stuff filling in some gaps I guess you thought were there and needed to be filled... without explaining what was Jesus saying here... "For many are called, but few are chosen." Matt 22:14 Does it not mean that God called many people but only a few of them answered...

Hello again, Anthony! "...According to your faith be it unto you." Matt 9:29 "And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their...

If we have already met Jesus and we are walking with Him being led always by the Holy Spirit now, is there a need for concern about after a while or tomorrow? "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as...

People can and do use the written Bible to accomplish God's good purpose, but there are some who can and do misuse what was written under inspiration. The latter is too often the way that the beast of a man leads. This is why we need to submit to and follow the lead of the Holy Spirit always...
