So don't compare yourself with Jesus. Look at Stephen a young man, never married, never had any children, who was given the job in the Church of caring for widows and orphans. Along with those important duties, when he had the opportunity, he witnessed for God and His Son. For that they came up...

Give God the glory and let us move forward with Him!

Even if a person does throw a stone at you, with or without good cause, if you really want to be like Jesus you need to learn to respond as He did: "And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the...

"And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God." Mark 10:18

Sorry you took it personally! It was not intended that way. My swipe was at all of us... including most certainly myself. Fortunately for all of us, God is a merciful God!

Who among us has done even the minimum which is asked of us? Are we not all liars whenever we presume to describe how well we have done or are doing? "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is...

The main problem I see with this is that the same chapter would also then seem to support a Multiplicity of God above and beyond a Trinity of God... that is if the prayers of Jesus will avail much as per James. "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me...

It has apparently become a discussion on the visions and dreams believers have. This is what is meant, I believe, by the ability or lack thereof to see the kingdom of God as per the title.

Give God the glory!

I am not disagreeing with God's purpose. What I am saying is that we should come to the place where we love God for who He is rather than only for the gifts He is able to and even wants to provide... which include salvation and never dying. Do we love our natural parents only because they happen...

Continuing to pray for Australia!

Your words are good ones even though they are likely Not what I would say and also may not equal what I believe. Your seeming emphasis on salvation as a goal is one I have moved away from... in a sense and in a degree. Quite recently really, the topic of salvation itself has been changed a bit...

Amen!

Brother I know that long ago when I began reducing the number of my posts this was without a doubt a major part of the reason. Do you know how many times after having read through a thread once and sometimes twice [sometimes very long threads] and then having written a lengthy response, I then...

Was Jesus the Son of God when born naturally to Mary? Who else was a Son of God when born of his natural mother? Not one! Discount the first man Adam who was the son of God as described by Luke. He, however, died later due to his disobedience. Of course all of his offspring were born dead and...

I am glad to hear something positive from you. Be more careful about speaking the negative... for your own sake. Remember that the negative words you speak about anyone else's testimony without a clear direction from God to open your mouth your words may be the basis for your own negative...

Use those wits my friend, but if you depend only on them for your final conclusion may you not find yourself in trouble with God? God knows exactly what He has provided each of us and expects us to use that provision for His glory. Consider what His glory is! Atheists have used only their wits...

Indeed they helped and being included in the written scriptures they have helped beyond that. Not everything that Jesus spoke during his 3½ year ministry is written in scripture and neither is everything that God has done been so written. Someone's dream shared with others today may seem like...

When God really speaks to our heart, it really is all the sign and all the wonder that we need, even if no one else is able to witness with his five natural senses. Some things really are, I believe, intended by God to be shared with others, while other things most certainly are not.

Perhaps, but why do you presume that what you consider to be nonsense would necessarily considered as nonsense to the hearers or to God?
