I have never belonged to any of those groups, so what do I know other than what I have heard from other men? I have heard some things that sound wrong or evil to me, but it comes back to God who really knows the facts regarding each person to be the only proper judge. "Judge not, that ye be...

Again I believe that the local church group should be able to render judgments for or against a member as it affects that assembly or other connected and concerned parties, but that is not a final irrevocable ruling binding on God unless God agrees with it absolutely. [Can we know that now?] Men...

Yes, indeed, tell it to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, which is everyone of one of us fitted in as a functioning member of that Body: "For the body is not one member, but many." I Cor 12:14 "Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular." I Cor 12:27 "And he [the Lord...

Real worship must and should come from within, from the heart... but what do we have in our hearts? Jesus quoted this verse: "Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their...

A babe perhaps, but then again methinks you are nourished beyond the milk of the Word of God!

Well my friend I do wish you well in your endeavor. Pipe dream it may be but something to hope for. I guess from your words or the lack thereof, you see some good in the Way of Jesus but have not seen it as your own pathway. That is unfortunate from my point of view, but consider anyway what...

A little bit of "what if" might be good, but especially in the things of God, it is something a person needs to get past. I don't mean completely stop asking, but stop considering it a life or death thing. When I took my Philosophy class in college, I enjoyed the working around in circles with...

If we had one of those and every post was correctly placed, how many would be left for the rest?

Those exact same words came to me Mike when I began reading this thread. I almost did what you did [post them] but then I decided I should first read the whole thread... so here I am understanding better, but still understanding not well at all.

That's me too! I love to talk with people about the Lord, but so few people I meet, even though they claim to be Christians, want to do that. They talk about sports or the weather or you name it... anything but the things of God!

Corporations have been a legal way to stop the buck from stopping here at the doorstep or in the lap of the ones who really do pull the strings. Men may not be able to or even may not want to identify the ones pulling the strings, but God always knows them and He knows us. Those responsible will...

Carl from Calcutta cracked corn nuts for his cats.

Two for the price of one!

Yes, I did read about your struggle. Is it really over yet? What is the truth? The way you were when hooked by those pills or what you were when you were released from that bondage? What if the answer is neither and both? What if God was simply showing you in an apparently 'real' life example...

Brian from Beaumont builds barns!

Even if it were so delivered to any person, until it was also fully understood by that person, he would still be seeing as through a glass darkly. The "face to face" is the goal, but who has already reached it?

I was really suggesting that your assumption might not be accepted by everyone... But then we serve a loving and merciful God!

Well compared to you I'm only a youngster at 76. The good thing is that there is the 'new man', the one who may never die.

You might believe this is a possibility but with men alone it is not. It only takes one man, young or middle aged or old, to stir up a hornet's nest, and your "natural consequence of their misconduct" is a pipe dream similar to an ideal communism. It won't work, because some man won't let it.
