Well, as you say we made an effort along with Mike. Now we are making our effort here, but the old man is getting very tired. If it were not for the new man sometimes... but that is too negative to even put into words. May God richly bless you! I have never used the "ignore" button, but a very...

Understood, but then that person banned would perhaps be the kernel of one more denomination. How many is that now? Latest count? Don't answer those questions. You say that one has to bite the bullet in certain types of disagreements situations, but why must that be the case? Maybe you mean...

Sorrow indeed, dear Helen. I know that was your birthplace and homeland for a long time. The good part is that you have a better promise than anything that the UK or Canada or the USA could or would ever be able to provide!

You make it sound easy, but of course it is not, or then again, LOL, perhaps it is. It is to easy see when we look at the confusion of men. But... it easy to see why there should be no confusion among men who really are followers of God... for God is NOT the author of confusion.

Why must they be seen as two things and not one?

Yes, I recall also with fond remembrance the yearly Christmas plays at my school. They may not have been as accurate in details as I would understand from scriptures, but they were still a positive note... especially for children living in homes where no one was putting on a front about serving...

With this thread I am considering renewing my reading about the presidents again myself. If it is well written and the bias is not too blatant I can enjoy reading biographies about people of interest better than any fictional stories I might read. I used to read a lot of fiction, but my interest...

Thanks for this rescue. I was trying to remember. I do remember that Washington was very popular with the people including many leaders who were severely opposed to each other. Washington was the only realistic choice for the first President because anyone else with any real support had too much...

Thank you for this. I really wish I remembered enough to comment but I have simply forgotten so many of the details. Some of this stuff I am probably relearning from this thread.

It is often much beyond me and much too much for me. Help us all dear Lord!

Likewise! Yes, indeed, but even then the erosion seemed to be was well underway. My old pastor speaks to me of an even earlier time when as a boy in Ontario, Canada scriptures was read every morning in public school and everyone prayed together prior to entering the class room for work on the...

How do we do it? We really don't except that we have somewhere hopefully decided to surrender to Him completely and kept on and keep on surrendering until all of the work is finished in us as it was with Jesus. Lots of people have probably at least started on this, but then... "Some fell upon...

Your reference should be Rev 3:21 rather than 17:21

That is a worthwhile enterprise. I hope that even a few are blessed by your work. I know from what I have read of your postings here that you have something from God to give.

Give God the glory!

It perhaps related to your reasoning that I strongly emphasize inclusion of the Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastics, and Song of Solomon in my reading of Bible. Oh, I read all of the Bible more than once each year, but I read those books of the Bible more often than any others except the 4 gospels...

Give God the glory, Helen!

Good to see you here, Stranger. I've given up on visiting that other forum for a while. Perhaps in the future if time and interest gets hold of me. That is what I was taught in the public school system, but I graduated from high school in 1961 so my education differs in that respect probably...

Yes, the context is needed for a better picture of the men supposedly quoted. I knew of some things such as who the "know nothings were from some of my own reading. A few years ago I decided to learn more about all of the US presidents. Regarding some, there is a large library of information...

Praise the Lord my friend. I won't say more now with the exception of "existence without God". This is where people at times, or for maybe even all of the time, believe that they: in an existence without God. Of course it is not so. This is the fantasy. A song we used to sing in my earliest...
