May it never be! God always gets HIS way. Nothing happens He does not want to happen.

@1stCenturyLady There was another post from you I had just noticed before but I can't remember where. You stated that you didn't know if I wanted to argue. I don't care to argue with anyone about anything. We're each entitled to our own beliefs. But we can certainly DISCUSS those beliefs. If...

You don't believe in eternal torment? Where in the N.T. does it state this?? I can't find anywhere....

People have been praying for over 4,000 years. Here we are.... God put us on earth to care for it. We messed up and this is what we've got now...

I do believe God has laws we're to keep. Understand this as you may. IF it's correct that we should be worshipping, or resting, on Saturday, then the mercy of God will have to kick in and not judge us by our doctrine but by our heart --- which is what the N.T. teaches. As to WORSHIP and...

People see the difference .... Give some credit! It's when you say that we are NOT in the flesh that creates my problem. Do you believe we no longer have the sin nature?

I just saw this. Bob and I understand very well the difference between the spirit of the law and the letter of the law. Plus, Bob and I are not married. There are others on this forum that agree with us so I don't know why you always mention the two of us, although I do find it an honor to be...

I agree with you that they can't be used as proof texts...they can easily be explained away. Maybe I just have a problem with this because I worshipped on Sunday all my life. Whoever thought of this till I began to study? I never did. Even Protestant churches worship on Sunday (I left the...

Right. It seems that he was rescued from Patmos by his friends and eventually died in Ephesus.

Hi N Very interesting and informative! I loved the analogy re the scarlet worm. I think that one could come up with these ideas and they're very valid, but I do think it's just very simple. The worm does not die....maybe Jesus did mean the scarlet worm...but it still means that there is...

Yes. But politics affects my life. How should we do it in your opinion? Greece made their citizens poor about 8 years ago. There was rioting in the streets because of the sudden poverty. Persons found themselves rummaging through garbage for food. (some persons). Should they just have accepted...

Who said you don't? I don't think you're a hypocrite, I just think the whole idea of spirit flesh commandments obeying sinning is all messed up these days. God never changes...He's the same God that caused the flood. He's the same God that hung on a cross. Not so we could make statements that...

This is so sad to hear ! First that he was banned...maybe it was just a suspension? I do agree with you that if someone is doing something wrong, they should be told so, at least they get a chance to stop whatever they're doing. Who can remember every rule? The best we can do is just speak...

Well 1st century lady, obeying the commandments is a START, I guess. If one can't even do THAT, how does one go on to bigger and bolder things? Referring to your post no. 317. And please stick to scripture and how you understand it, God and I will concern ourselves with my soul. Thanks.

The above is for @1stCenturyLady, but I just want to add: The difference between the Mosaic Covenant and the New Covenant is so incredibly simple that it is almost not noticeable. In the M.C. (or Old Covenant) the law is written on stone. In the N.C. the law is written on our hearts. (as per...

Yes, you're right. It sounds like a contradiction. But certainly everyone here knows we have a soul ! Maybe it should be: If INDEED, we have a soul? We have a soul. It is eternal. You always say this and it's an understanding you personally have and these beliefs are difficult to share. We...

Let me know what you come away with... But I have to say good night now. (if I can't sleep I might be back...)

I understand and I agree. We are to be IN the world but not OF the world. The problem I see here (and I'm not active politically but I do vote what I believe) is that laws are voted into being...and they never can be rescinded. I DO believe it's important to be active in that way - since it's...

P.S. The worm. Usually worms eat a body and then die eventually. But after death we face eternity (which I mentioned just before, maybe here?) so since we face eternal damnation, it would be better to enter heaven with "one eye" or "one hand" instead of going to damnation with all our limbs...

Too late! I think you already started!! I do agree with you 100%
