Yes, we have one member who I know pretty well on this forum whose beliefs run close to this. He also has several who come up strongly against him but he's been around a long time and certainly is no troll. Unorthodox perhaps, but I've been called worse than unorthodox today on this forum on...

Even so!

The man thus far has never spoken directly to me at all... so I would not include me in 'give-and-take' basis. I have only posted one post on this thread prior to this one.

Praying for you and yours as well!

@reformed1689 Read more carefully. I said "rarely"... You define that as you will. I stated an opinion. I don't believe that that is against the rules. Was that what you were doing in these two posts about me? Miracles and certain spiritual gifts Miracles and certain spiritual gifts It...

You're not the only one to notice & generally I believe you are right. To me it is like encouraging people to drink a large bottle of wine because it [a little?] might be good for their ailing stomachs; or to tell someone to swallow whole bottle of pain pills to relieve a slight tension...

Yes, the storm came by here a bit earlier. No tornadoes, but dime sized hail stones. Hopefully, there will be no one hurt! I am praying!

What did Jesus accomplish when he "tangled" with the religious Scribes and Pharisees? Perhaps against them or for them nothing, but often there are listeners, observers or lurkers about. I well remember when my recently deceased friend carried on an apparently fruitless, thankless discussion...

The Bible, a printed book, was never even intended to exist? What kind of power does God have? What kind of plan does God have for men? What kind of knowledge do you have? Why do you presume that God was not in the writing of words by men to explain His plan to those who did not know about the...

"I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean." Rom 14:14

This the way of the carnal man. It is the way of unbelievers. It is where everyone of us started. If a person has not moved at all away from selfishness and is not continuing to move [be moved] toward selflessness, then how can he sincerely speak of being "born again" or "born from above"? So...

Remember what James wrote? "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." James 4:8 This double mindedness is a different way of talking about what Apostle Paul meant when he spoke of the 'old man' and the 'new man'...

Like a lot of people here, Mary, you do don't understand where @bbyd009 is coming from... As I am sure you already know there are a number of people here in what they would, [and like so would you] beliefs, who failing to understand him do not believe he could really be a follower of Christ or...

Not quite! My wife's brother is deep into scientology and I get along well with him, but we live in Oklahoma while he lives in San Francisco!

Yes, I have learned this really on this forum through this man, 1689, in particular and a couple of his apparently close associates or friends here. They briefly say you are wrong but rarely, if ever, provide scriptural support although assuring you that their answers are absolutely according to...

Count the cost!

My wife never actually has her hair cut other than trimming off the split ends. I guess because of age it does not reach much below her waist, but I would never willingly cut it. Nor would she. Even as I shaved my beard for her, so she has grown her hair for me. This June it will 48 years, so it...

@My Dreams Joining in prayer here for the man!

@bbyrd009 and the rest of the participants and readers here... Where is our primary citizenship and loyalty? To whom or what are we faithful? To The United States, or Great Britain, or Canada, or Saudi Arabia, or Iraq... or where? What if it should be none of those...? "Now therefore ye are no...
