While my brain doesn't always work well with details, I certainly remember that you posted those details long ago regarding your encounters with God. Some would not, and I guess, could not believe what you said. It was/is your testimony, but that means little to some people who have little real...

Does theology, even correct theology, lead us to the correct Christ... or are we drawn by the Father to Jesus because of what the Father sees in our heart?

Throwing in a little Samoan I see. During my last years working at the Richmond Calif Social Security Program Center [late 1970's to early 1980's] my unit serviced, among others, all Social Security claims coming in from American Samoa. I remember after sometimes lengthy investigations...

Even so! And when a person is really seeking the Life which Jesus brought he must use the means God has provided to kill that lower animal 'life' in himself, which in a man is opposed to the real Life: "She [Wisdom] hath killed her beasts [lower animal life] ; she hath mingled her wine; she...

Many people never read these supporting verses, especially in the OT, and apparently of those who do read them the simplest of possible meanings go right over their heads unless it easily fits into what has already been decided by them or by their leadership. What is blindness?

Careful with this! Be certain about where you are going: "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise." II Cor 10:12

Our perfection if we have attained to it is of this moment. David says to his son, Solomon: "And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the...

It looks and feels hard to them because either they have tried to walk the way of the lukewarm: "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." Rev 3:15-16...

So then were we, prior to meeting and accepting Jesus, already in a dung heap, which really is what men commonly name as hell? "He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the...

To me, every man born of woman is dead. Is death wickedness? If a person already dead to God never receives the Lift which Jesus brought, he lose even the hope of Life that he had... Then again there a some who have encountered God and loved Him first, but then... "Nevertheless I have somewhat...

Actually the writer of the OP early in his stay on this forum admitted publicly that he was NOT a Christian. I tried once long ago to discuss one of his topics with him and he put me on 'ignore'. He seems to have a lot of biblical knowledge but no real relationship with God. I have pointed this...

Thank you! I am certain that I will visit. I found two here on the Internet. One is Spanish and one not. I will have to wait for some mild weather. This winter the old man is super sensitive to the cold weather and it has been quite cold lately.

During my 11 years in Oneness Jesus Only I belonged to two other groups besides the UPC. The UPC initially was all white [Caucasian] while the others were Hispanic and Black. The Hispanic church had services both in English and Spanish. We attended the English because my wife did not understand...

Undoubtedly our present 'friction' has to do with our different backgrounds. You have me smiling. It is hard for me to dislike anyone. Do suppose being a native Oklahoman the statement made famous by Will Rogers has infected me? ["I never met a man I didn't like."] From the beginning of my...

Consider me as "stepped aside"!

In the past I really liked reading every post on a forum and when I responded I tried to cover every detail of the post to which I responded. A measure of my own decline became apparent to me a number of years ago when I kept getting farther and farther behind. At that time I was active on...

I have been there and done most all of that myself. My wife and I have moved away from our family on these things as well as moving 50 miles away physically several years ago to make their visits to us less frequent. We do love them, but sometimes in some things love works better from a...

Normally, I only look to see what it means to me and my walk as well, but sometimes without even looking we see something else like you did with regard to them rising from their grave later. I am with you on believing this is where many of them encountered what we have encountered. Moses is the...

To me it is blindly that I look upon the voluminous pages of details instead of a simple communication that most readers could follow easily. I do look more to a very personal daily communication with God in and with the scriptures I can read myself rather than having to depend on someone else's...

Perhaps you were right to post this for me. I don't like your style. When I was younger perhaps I could have done better with it. But... not understanding your point or purpose, I made a presumption with no real evidence to support it because I could sift through it all. I guess it would have...
