    The invisible man

    Back to your questions: Being born again of the spirit of God gives you spiritual eyes to see spiritual things. What is born of the flesh, is flesh, and what is born of the spirit, is spirit. Do you know what a two-world image is? It is an image that shows both what is above the sea, as well...

    Upon THIS Rock I will build my Church

    I have "condemned" no one. This is only personal to you, because you take it personal. If I have stood in the way of you carrying out your crusade, it's not personal...it's just that you are the one doing the crusading, and thus you make the whole anti-Catholic issue a topic because you carry...

    The invisible man

    Humble yourself. You have been biting someone with teeth also. You should have expected this response. But you came here for a reason. Let's get to the bottom of what that is. Do you just want to blame and criticize, or would you like some real answers? In all sincerity, let's quit the...

    Principles For Observing Long Fasts

    You are shocked, and you should be. But you are not being reasonable. Did not Paul write the Corinthians because of their many issues unbecoming of Christ? Did he not say that he had become all things to all people that he might save some? Why then are you surprised that He would lead by...

    This is like what a caterpillar might say to a butterfly. Would you prefer we were silent? Did you not come to us?

    Principles For Observing Long Fasts

    I too understand your position as it is most common. But you have come back with nothing of substance. Paul's ministry occurred during the infancy of the church where many were indeed without the Bridegroom. Therefore He preached fasting to them who were without that waited upon His coming...

    The invisible man

    Let's be straight about one thing - I don't owe you any facts. I'm not selling anything, and you can take it or leave it. You asked, and I am happy to respond. But you needed to go back and catch up with what you did not read or acknowledge, because you went on and on about believing verses...

    Upon THIS Rock I will build my Church

    Wrong again. I have warned without prejudice, even naming Protestants and Catholics together when appropriate. But you, I am not after you. It is just that you make the biggest error and rant here, and to this I have given an answer. This I do to extending my hand even where it is not welcome...

    Principles For Observing Long Fasts

    Wow, we must go to the same church...all about fasting right now! But since you brought it up... Jesus made it clear that fasting was what one does only when they are not with the Bridegroom. So...that means before He came physically, but also before He came or comes spiritually (in the glory...

    Upon THIS Rock I will build my Church

    You accuse me of hate. Produce it. You're not kidding anyone. As for your own hate, you have produced it already. As for a non-answer, you misunderstand. I am not answering you, but warning you and giving you the opportunity to have a reasonable conversation, that you might reconsider the...

    The invisible man

    Back up the bus. You are not listening. I am the one who explained and made clear the difference between mere belief and knowing. Want to give it another try? ('Cause you spoke before you had all the information...not a good practice. But it does explain a lot.)

    The invisible man

    You will indeed see. The question is when, now, or after the helping hand is withdrawn? As for me, I do not "think", nor do I merely "believe", I actually know. As for your disrespectful sneers about those who have gone before us, it is their witness that collaborates my own witness, and mine...

    Your hate reveals the truth.

    The invisible man

    You assume the whole idea is wrong, and that I cannot describe it. But it is you who is wrong, and simply in the dark. For someone who has not seen, you are acting particularly arrogant. You should be asking questions with the sincerity of a child. What's with the attitude? Why are you even...

    The invisible man

    No, you're wrong. That may be your definition of free...but you are not God. These are His rules, not yours. Free, in this case means: You fell and He has offered you a hand to help you up. It's a choice, and the consequences are on you - not Him.

    Can a Christian be a Democrat?

    I would laugh but it's not funny, it's sad. For the most part I agree. To say that the would be churches are deceiving multitudes, is absolutely correct. It's shameful. My wife and I have bought a home for our coming retirement, are planing a move, and have been searching for a new church...and...

    There is nothing unfair about the open invitation that God has given. The golden ticket is not from men, but from God...and it is free. No one can give that ticket to another, except God.

    The invisible man

    They are invisible because we are not like them. Therefore, unless one is born again of the spirit of God, then cannot enter into that spiritual realm and gain their sight for that higher plane of God and eternity. Without doing so, the life that we experience in the world is simply organic...

    John 9:35-41

    Light is a reference to the spirit, and it is the eye that is the light of the body: Luke 11:33-36 (33) "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. (34) The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore...
