    If we are not who we are anywhere, with anyone whether it's online, in the company of the the opposite sex or the same sex for that matter, with children or authority figures we qualify as hypocrites. The path to life is narrow for good reasons. ALONE And only one could sing the song t’was he...

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

    God knows the outcome, thats his prerogative, we don't, thats our limitation. We must be proactive in staying connected to the vine. Presumption is not faith and if we assume it is it will kill us.

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

    Yes, it glowed when he came from the presence of God. It freaked the masses out. He had to cover his face with a veil. And so Jesus veiled his glory and came in the likeness of sinful flesh so that we might be changed into his glory.

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

    When Moses came down from the mountain his face shone. The people couldn't endure it. Stephan's face shone as he beheld Jesus standing at Gods right hand. From the Creators hand Adam and Eve were clothed in light, the result of being in harmony with God and life. Transgression of Gods...

    Miracles in an instant

    Mocking is standard. Its core is ignorance but Gods word abides forever. God has not intended that his messages to us are hard to understand. It is our false paradigm that we insist on retaining that disables our understanding. Unless our pride is humbled in this matter we will walk in a...

    Miracles in an instant

    The expression 'a day is as a thousand years to God' is saying that in God's reality time not relevant as it is to us. It is not saying we should interpret it to mean that a day equals a thousand years.

    Addiction

    At AA we say, put your butt on a seat, take the cotton wool out of your ears and stick it into your mouth, get a sponsor and do the program. Get along side people in the meetings that have good recovery. You will find plenty of support. Personal recovery requires action which includes wrestling...

    Jesus as a Stumblingstone

    Wisdom is justified by all her children. When man attempts in his wisdom to understand God, God uses what man calls foolishness to save those who believe the straight testimony. It is evident with the too-ing and fro-ing of irrelevancies in various topics of this board that fog justifies mans...

    ALL who ever came before me were thieves and robbers - Jesus

    Please pray with us/me

    Outer Darkness

    It is hardly a reed Enoch and the story of Lazarus and the rich man is precisely there to illustrate that if they do not believe Moses and the prophets, in other words, the word of God he inspired men to write, then one wouldn't believe even if one who rose from the dead.
