I would say precisely the same thing my friend. I got to where I hated fellowship dinners because most people would talk about sports or other secular interests when I wanted to talk about the things of God. I still do, but now I no longer attend anywhere as none of the places I have visited...

@Hope in God Thank you for your kind and complete reply. You and I are apart on some things, but perhaps not as much as some might think on many of the more important things. I suspect your experience is in mainstream church, but that I don't hold that against you. Please don't hold my...

Welcome to the forum! You seemed to be quite displeased with yourself. As to your complaints about Christmas perhaps it is too little too late! Man has done his usual thing and you have jumped on that band wagon. That wagon has been passing your way since before you were born to woman. No one...

Give God the glory!

You place a lot of hope in what is written and that is not an evil thing. You also speak of the work of God in it all which is an even more necessary part. Just be careful not to put God in a box. You or I or the other guy may have adopted some method to serving God, but God can never be so...

There are false prophets and false manifestations of the Spirit all around us. Some of them are simply deluded rather than blatantly going against what they believe is truth. My own belief is that gifts of tongues are not given to every believer. Also there is more than one gift of tongues...

@Brock I just saw this and am praying now!

Amen!

This the way I have been on forums for many years. Perhaps his church group gives him brownie points of kind for posting it all?

I have nothing against a person who is able to, to then goes ahead and studies things in depth like that, but I fail to see a meaningful purpose to posting it all here on an open forum blindly. Of the few who might have the ability to understand all of that stuff, probably only a handful would...

God has messages for you and for me in the OT as well as in the NT. The only way we ever really correctly understand any of it is through the Holy Spirit in us. We should not expect it all to be understood at once. God has His time for each thing He gives to us. This includes an understanding...

Praying for them now!

More than 40 years now of talking with God using the gift He gave to me. Yet, here you and others deny that it is really from God...following the words of men rather than really talking with God about it. "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:" I Cor 14:18 "Wherefore...

How many people on here are actually reading all of this stuff? Help us dear Lord to seek your face! "When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek." Psalm 27:8

My morning Bible reading time is a good time for me... but not from the reading alone, for as you say the truth is, or is in, Jesus. Jesus is Not the book. The Bible without the quickening Spirit is a dead carcass. The book alone will never be alive, but what people read in the book may be...

When we read it in the Spirit, or at least led by the Spirit, we eventually will begin to see the messages in their experiences for us. How it was for them may be more difficult for us to see, but their judgment or reward is seen simply in the natural. Simply death in the wilderness for most of...

Amen! "And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness." Num 14:33 h[r Ra`ah (raw-aw'); Verb, Strong #: 7462 to pasture, tend, graze, feed (Qal) to tend, pasture 1a to shepherd 1a of ruler...

You are very simply not understanding what I said, Helen. For God there is no time. He spoke all of His Word that we have before [to us "before"] the foundation of the world. His entire plan for mankind was already in place from the beginning of His creation. His entire plan included old...

This study thing is simply a part of using all that God has given us... but why is it that so often two or more earnest Bible students will have contradictory conclusions based on their Bible studies? Paul's words simplify the answer: "Pray without ceasing." I Thess 5:17 Are we studying more...

People make too big of a thing about being "saved". If that is our focal point, it is pretty selfish, is it not? Our focus should be at least approaching the focus that Jesus had as described by Apostle Paul: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each...
