Even so! Some people may not worry about getting sick, but whether that is due to their faith in God or some other reason, we need to be considerate of where they are. Jesus lived a certain way as a man of flesh, which gives us an ideal, but none of us are Jesus. We may indeed want to be like...

I cannot speak for you my friend, but God speaks to my heart and has written portions of His Word in my heart. I refer to and use my Bible all of the time, whenever I can, but my heart is not empty of His Word as long as I do not quench the Holy Spirit within me. The man you doubt without ever...

No, I am a Jesus supporter! I will follow Jesus wherever He leads me. "And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who [is this Biden]?" Acts 49:15

To you untested and unproven, but hardly hearsay in God's court. You can disbelieve someone else's testimony, but I don't recommend arguing about it. I put it here as an example. Why don't you leave it alone? The ball is in God's court!

Easy, my friend! I posted the verses. I did not interpret them nor did I directly agree or disagree with you. I agree, hopefully, always with God. Isn't that the best thing?

I do miss my dogs. When we moved from our home to an apartment a few years ago, the dogs went to a dear sister in another state who loves and cares for her severely disabled husband and close to a 100 animals out on their small farm. She takes better care of them than I ever could. I used to...

On the one hand... "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" II Cor 13:5 Also... "Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet...

@My Dreams Praying for your daughter!

Amen! And if we are really sincere and ask God for help, will He refuse us?

I am not doing hypotheticals. He heard from God and was told Not to go in... None of us are above obeying God!

My pastor's point was that he was 'checked by the Spirit', not to go in there. To enter in anyway would have been to tempt God. Consider the natural children of Israel who decided to go ahead and enter Canaanland after God had told them through Moses, not to do it.

And for those of us not living in the Middle East today who find ourselves in a society where an innocent well intentioned kiss might cause problems for someone, should we go ahead with it anyway because that is what Paul and Peter wrote? Can we be led away from such a kiss by the Holy Spirit?

What is not evil to me may well be evil to someone else as when comes to drinking alcoholic beverages. My old pastor (turned 95 day before yesterday) told a true story about himself on this point. [He was a tea-totally minister just about all of his life.] His car broke down or he ran out of...

When I first began attending a Pentecostal Church service in 1976 I knew nothing at all. I had never read a Bible and I was only just starting to learn some things about people. They were a hugging congregation, but no kissing. However, they did make it clear that hugging of persons of the...

Yes, when I knew this friend, I carefully avoided too much involvement in a direct conversation on the subject with him, but I was naive in the ways of the world, and very unknowledgeable in the things of God. My improvement in the former is only scarcely and in the latter more in that I...

"Is required", but while men especially in other countries with different cultures have progressed more in the physical control, how can any follower of Christ manage such control... and even if they can, can they be certain that their proper kiss would be acceptable to the recipient or to any...

I was not saying you were completely wrong nor are you wrong in all that you have said here. In the OT the immediate reward was a continuing natural life versus the punishment of man inflicted death on the body of flesh of the offender. In the NT the death to be inflicted that matters is the...

Give God the glory!

"Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you." Rom 16:16 "All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss." I Cor 16:20 "Greet one another with an holy kiss." II Cor 13:12 "Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss." I Thess 5:26 "Greet ye one...

But consider this: "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I...
