Friend, I don’t want to get into all that. You and I may not see another day. We ought to be prepared, be right with God BECAUSE we don’t know when OUR end will be. To me, there is entirely too much focus and acrimony over conjecture about THE end because our focus is supposed to be on God -...

Please elaborate.

You’re drowning in evidence. We’ve already covered this. But why you are an atheist s an odd response to deflect from the lying done by Atheists.

What does the Bible say? Better we are prepared and it does not come than it comes and we are not prepared.

Yup. It is so transparent.

I take it the righteousness of man is to repent. That is all. It is a fearsome thing to face one's maker. It can go by many other names, putting faith in Him, trusting him, etc. It is a contradiction to say you have faith in God BUT turn your back on him and go your own way. Not sure why what...

Ironically, driving home last night the Pastor on the Moody Radio show elaborated on our work. It is as God as orgained. Each of us have work that is exactly what we should be doing because God wants us to do it - and show we live for him in the doing. )There is no higher calling. That is just...

LOL So, your theory is those who reject God are bastions of honesty and forthrightness, like those pervayors of gloom and doom about the 'rona?

Yes, also to inspire others that with God's help, they do can react to problems with the fruit of the Spirit. One example is from several years ago. An old friend asked me to help him as he convelesced from knee surgery. His wife chose this time to visit an out of state relative which enraged...

One pastor put it this way. By embracing Christ, our troubles do not diminish. But we are stronger and more able to handle the troubles we have. When we rebound off our troubles toward God, we know we are living as God intends.

You do not see the contradiction of what you just wrote? I serve the living God, not parchment. Some he tells go West. Some he tells to go East. There is not one way to serve and this is not a contradiction. The written record is good, as far as written records go but they do not displace an...

Even you must see how your tactics undermine conversation. Perhaps you do not actually want a back and forth conversation on a forum. Perhaps you just want an echo chamber. God must have got it wrong when he said iron sharpens iron; it must be Episkopos sharpens iron. :contemplate:

Doesn't make it right.

Ironic. My congregation's word of the year this year is PRESSURE. To embrace the fact that we are better under pressure.

Getting back to imputing; we don't credit the container for the flavor of the wine. A old Jewish prayer at grace is, "Praise God, King of the Universe, who brings forth the fruit of the vine." We might do other things, like till the soil and reap the harvest, but only God brings forth the fruit...

Another book, Victory Over Darkness, admonishes us to take 'every thought captive to Christ.' At the doorway, the outer perimeter of your essence, should you meet the adversary and take his seductive lures to Christ at the first instance. The longer we ponder how shiny and beautiful, this thing...

Who the heck is this Mike guy, anyway? :rolleyes: And as you know, I speak English. I am Groot.

Perhaps but who are you to separate the sheep from the goats, the wheat from the tares? @marks and I have had our disagreements but I take him as devout, who loves God, submits to Jesus and immerses himself in the Bible as much as any of us. I've never seen a post from him where he puts his ego...

You do realize Mike’s critique has NOTHING to do with you reverting to foreign language, right?
