I know that you shared this with @VictoryinJesus but I was blessed very much by it as well. Thank you and give God the glory!

@My Dreams Praying with you for your parents!

@VictoryinJesus The vision and understanding need to be your own... but you alone cannot form them, not correctly as God sees it. You can listen to or read the thoughts and beliefs of another person, and they sound good, but then along comes another one, with some very different ideas, which...

The whole picture that God sees is what we need to be approaching. How good is our vision? Before we know God at all we are effectively blind. Some people who do come to God then get stuck on a dead end street or miss a turn they needed to take. The to approach God and to see more clearly what...

In Hitler's Germany they were slow and secretive about killing or letting old or severely disabled non-Jewish Germans die even while they were openly targeted the Jews. This was because those in power did not want to turn the people against them. Too many Germans cared for their families even...

I don't recommend church hunting to anyone. Of course if a person really believes God wants them to that, OK. I believe that in most cases if God wants you some place else and you are faithful to Him He will see to it. Give God the glory!

Be blessed for if you are sincere and trust really always in Him to end of your course, you will certainly always be His child. I won't argue our differences with you. At least your answer is a soft one.

"Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness...

@Cristo Rei Perhaps more to the point of to your questions my friend I would simply say to stay always on the Lord's side no matter what anyone else may be doing... or not doing. I did come out of the Catholic Church myself several years before you were born. I still don't advise anyone...

"...and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful." Rev 17:14

Remembering here also what David wrote: "Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my...

With regard to the title question of what the Bible is? Several people have taken a stab at it. Maybe they are all correct at least in a measure. How does that written volume fit into God's plan? Study of the book alone will never give us a complete answer to that question. But… neither would...

And lots of people use the handbook, but differences in understanding are quite common!

Sorry to have stepped on your toes. I was simply reading each post from the beginning of the thread and I responded with where I was as other people including you were doing. Sometimes I do misunderstand a person's meaning or intentions. My intention was not to give offence. My sincere apology...

I was never a beatnik (shades of Maynard G. Krebbs) or a hippie, but before I met Jesus I envied the apparent freedom of their lifestyle. It was some time after I did meet Him that I came to realize my impression of the beatniks and hippies was seen from a place not in the Lord but a place of...

Are 'hippies' evil then? Consider what Jesus says here to the chief priests and elders of Israel: "Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you." Matt 21:31 Are hippies in a lower category than the publicans and harlots...

All of these new words or expressions very often simply make me tired. Another one to look up to understand what is even being said in English, supposedly my native language. Help me dear Lord! Don't ask me why it replaced 'divine' with 'verbal'. That is what came up when I asked for a...

Yes, before they were converted, they, almost without doubt, would have been offended. But there was work to be done in them... if they would allow it. When they had been converted...? "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me." Matt 11:6 Jesus was not offended by those who...

@Heart2Soul A hard one perhaps, but so very important and so very necessary for each one who would seek His face to the end of our road... "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Gal 6:9 Also praying!

I am slow to get through all these threads. Just saw this one. I am in need of prayer, prayer especially for patience.
