Oh I meant exactly what I said. Man has developed a religious system which too often teaches people that for them all is well to the point where many of them do little or nothing "good". Individuals too often are found... "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such...

Sounds a bit like a more modern but not less decadent Rome!

Man has accomplished wonders in technology since I was a child, but his accomplishments with the people and the way people are, or are not, he has continued to fail miserably. God can solve or ease the pain of these troubles, but people have taken it out of God's hands instead of learning to...

In all of the years I worked for Social Security we always used the state law to make relationship determinations. For foreign cases, we used the relationship laws for those countries. Once I worked a case with a proxy marriage under Japanese law. It was legal under Japanese law making the...

Praise the Lord!

I hear everything you are saying but I assure that you are not the first one to tell me those same things in approximately the same way. You would be surprised at the varieties and similarities I have encountered on Internet forums in the last 20 years. I don't discard a person's words out of...

If you don't see it don't worry about it. I won't try to explain it. I see something that for me makes it impossible to embrace a Trinity combined with other things.

My questions were for thoughtful and prayerful consideration. You want to vocalize what you think that is up to you. We are still not connecting in any case. I am not talking about disagreements that are apparent to any reader but about lack of communication because of too many different...

It was regarding God as a Multiplicity. The link below should take you to the detail. What do you think this text says about the deity of Christ?

I did not intend for you to answer my questions, but thank you for the effort. Have you then received all the knowledge of the Truth that there is? Don't answer that question. Just consider it! Of course there is absolute truth. God has it. How much of it does He share with us. Any part He...

Naysayer? Joined? On these things I have not recently joined anyone. I believe I have clearly expressed on this forum before where I am on these issues more than once over the years I have been here. I don't believe that I have changed noticeably on this issue in a long time. What is faith my...

Well I do not deny that Jesus is God nor do I affirm what many others say. If I must follow the lead of the majority bearing the label of Christian, then call me immature. What difference could it make to you or anyone else that my belief is somewhat different than yours? Is not God's judgment...

It a place that may be difficult for us to go, especially if our indoctrination or our elevated position is very important to us. A person with a respected position in a church setting may not be able to let go of what he has for long enough to even begin the approach to the "lowest room". The...

Truth is not, but people certainly are. People being different see truth differently from person to person. God does not, which is why we need to become like Him. Until we are...?

Do you really believe that? A human child staying around his father and being treated by his father as a father should treat his own child may indeed come to recognize and accept the relationship. Don't presume that all fathers treat their own children as well as that. The ideal is our heavenly...

@justbyfaith We don't change our mind because of discussion, not with regard to God and the things of God. If we are open to the lead of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit may use the discussion to change our minds. But what are 'gold', 'silver' and 'precious stones'? Do you know what they...

Or are we talking about two groups of believers in Jesus with differences in their beliefs and members of each group insisting that they are right while also insisting that those disagreeing with them are in error? Both are insistent! Both, if they really did meet Jesus started as infants. Has...

A beast knows his mother instinctively. We are to be killing our beasts by the Holy Spirit in us when we have been born anew from above.. As we kill beasts, our old man, our vision of our Father improves. We are getting to know him better. "I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons...

You believe you are right in what you believe. You are sincere, but none of us should presume that our sincerity even in doctrines based on the written scriptures makes us correct in every case. Everyone who really follows God in any measure believes he is already right or he would change. The...

Consider the infant who is held in his natural father's arms for the first time. What kind of relationship is this until they get to know one another? The father knows, but what does the child know?
