For Americans it is likely worse than for most others because we have been given so much: Lu 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed...

I believe very much that God is alive and working in people and accomplishing what people describe as miracles. I was not dismissing that. My point was rather a matter of priorities. First things first according to God. Jesus was warning them that their emphasis was in the wrong place. Nothing...

"And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:" Mark 13:21 But then where...? "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" Col 1:27

Lots of people who have fed on the miracles look to more to fill their carnal bellies or to satisfy their desires instead of looking as they should... "Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the...

Do we have nothing to do with that?

The end or finish is coming [or is it here now?]... my finish and your finish and her finish and his finish? Is it day still or has night already arrived... for anyone? Here we see the finish of Jesus: "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his...

One disobeyed God and the other one did not!

But absolutely! I have several testimonies as to how God led me to one place or away from another place, where there is no doubt in my mind that it was Him. He does use people to do this... but sometimes... not! One of my hardest breaking away or "coming out of her" was when I had to quit my...

@Heart2Soul My introduction to Christian forums happened during the same period of time I was struggling to come back from 10 years away from any purposeful connection with God. I was backslid. God finally allowed me to return but with severe chastisement. I came back to the physical church...

Consider this verse: "Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible." Mal 1:7 Is the Apostle Paul not writing about the very same table? "But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they...

Is the Word of God only to be found in written verses of Scripture?

And also the last written warning in Protestant Bibles today before Jesus arrived on the scene as a man of flesh! Do any of the warnings to the natural children of Israel (the offspring of Jacob) apply to believers in Christ today?

But then again, our God has never changed: "For I am the LORD, I change not; ..." Mal 3:6 The way people deal with God (or not) may differ from person to person and from time to time, but does not God love us all? Our God is no respecter of persons. For the final judgment of a person brought...

:) they may be back under another name ?? Just don't get your hopes up!

Yes, they look, instead looking to Him who is supposed to be leading. God has allowed this for a while... but... "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:" Acts 17:30

Killing the old man is getting rid of the double mindedness of everyone of us who has not yet overcome the worldly old flesh with which he was born. The Holy Spirit is the means, but when people regularly and habitually quench the Holy Spirit, the old man does not diminish and may well...

I guess I was off on a tangent here considering the situation for some who are supposed have the Holy Spirit within but who choose too often to follow their own head instead of the Head, which is Jesus. We cannot change our past, however filthy it may have been. Worrying about scars on our...

We certainly don't want to go condemning everyone who stumbles now and again... "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Rom 8:1 There are babies who are saved but know almost nothing. Then again there are...
