Actually, Adam and Eve died when they disobeyed God. The children of dead parents are also necessarily dead. Jesus confirmed the deadness of the people walking around him here: "But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead." Matt 8:22 So God sent His Son to bring Life...

Jesus was born a man with corruptible flesh as were we. That is, while he could have sinned, he did not! He never corrupted that corruptible flesh by sinning. Everyone of us did! Jesus did clear the Way for us. He made it possible for us to become incorruptible. When Jesus overcame all the...

Thank you my friend! Hold on... for as you say your time may also arrive!

Even so, let it all be according to His will. I believe that there in the garden of Gethsemene [Matt 26:38-45], Jesus overcame the very last obstacle as a man of flesh subject to the temptations of the flesh. This was prior to his physical suffering and death. It is, I believe, the reason why...

It is certainly simple to God and it is also should be simple to us, when and if we have the mind of God, but as we can see by the disagreements occurring on this forum it is not so simple to every man all of the time. To take our next step in the Lord, we need Light, which why without Him we...

And is that really different? When we have both the power and the will of God! Misapplied power will not do works greater than his, so the Will is also needed. With Him in us any misstep taken by us would be when we quench the Holy Spirit in favor of our own way/will...

Consider also at the end, even though all of the disciples assured him they would never deny him, all of them did in some measure. The scriptures are seemingly not always put down in chronological order. When they are, the context may be important, but when they are not...? How do we know for...

I agree, but if you stand too firm on actually having power equal to the power Jesus had, be ready to be persecuted as Jesus was persecuted. Yes, he was persecuted, but his power was such that they could not even take his physical life against his will. He had to lay it down and did so. Are we...

While I agree that context can make a difference, the deciding factor is in the hands of God. No matter what our personal opinion or take is, the answer is always God's. He does reveal it to us at times when it is according to His time!

Very good, sister! Doubtless power is available! Why should we doubt that it is so? Do we believe God? Do we believe what is written in the Bible was written by men inspired by God to write it? Do we all correctly understand what is written in the Bible?

Suggesting? No, no suggestions. I quoted some verses and asked some questions. Do you have definitive answers to my questions? I am not sure that I do...?

When it comes to looking at the ways of men working alone or with other men I am very much a pessimist considering well my own experiences and the writings in particular of Solomon in Ecclesiastes where he speaks about "all being vanity". In the following verse he expresses the proper direction...

@bbyrd009 @101G "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth:" Matt 28:18 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and...

The sons of Zebedee are John and James: "And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them." Matt 4:21

We may see people who really do love God. Then as we watch them go through trials as bad or worse than those of unbelievers we may ask, "Why"? God answers all necessary questions for anyone who asks for the right reasons with the right attitude. Unbelievers, and some people straddling the fence...

So now which is it? "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all...

I do hear what you are saying. I myself go to that same chapter with regard to what charity is, but I have definitely found people who based on that same chapter had different interpretations. People are going to disagree based on the scriptures. You have certainly seen that on this forum. I...

Such a person born different in the flesh than other would have terrible situations without a doubt in the society of men. For us when given the opportunity to interact with such an unfortunate, we must always act and react as Jesus would have done. Difficult perhaps, but for God in us, what is...

I can have more understanding and charity toward the young people are there in the churches today simply because their parents and their parents brought them into their situation. The older folks who started putting on a façade years ago will have no such excuse. Yes, there are exceptions, but...

Yeah I did that with my own children in Wyoming. Now it is not likely because this year I am less able to tolerate the cold than ever before. I don't stay outside any longer than absolutely necessary. Also, while I always loved to play with my children and grandchildren, the couple of times I...
