Yes, unfortunately our forefathers who did love God could not see far beyond their own limited circumstances. They worked hard to make a workable, fair Constitution and then included the first 10 Amendments, a Bill of Rights, to protect the right of a person to hold an minority opinion or...

The very existence of the 501(c)(3) in the Internal Revenue Code is a clear indication of the lack of separation between church and state today. Many people and often pastors or leading ministers presume that it is a good thing because it reduces or eliminates the payment of taxes. They should...

Do you include yourself among those who speak of Christology while not really being a follower of Jesus... that is one who has not received Christ? I am presuming you cannot see my post as apparently early in your membership here, I believe, you put me on "ignore". I say this because while I...

I guess that I cannot specify only one thing as per my post #88 in that what is important for one person walking with God may not be directly important at all to another. Not everyone is, or is supposed to be, a Bible expert or a theologian. but some are...? Washing one another's feet is always...

Yes, even as @Stranger has said with regard to the suffering and death of Jesus consider also what is written in the OT here: Most of us remember or at least have heard of Ahab, certainly one of the worst of the kings of Samaria [the nation of the 10 northern tribes of Israel] described in the...

@Triumph1300 Bless you my friend for bringing this to us so well. The "truth" is that without Him we do not know the truth and cannot work further in His direction. All of the years I have spent among "them" leaves me now in a quandary when I let my brain try to figure it all out... But now...

Again, while I am not disagreeing with you, you still apparently missed my main point. May God richly bless you as you walk and work with Him.

Well you certainly seemed to have missed my point...

Does a dispensation reveal anything... or is it God that reveals what a person needs to know? Perhaps God will use such things to reveal things sometimes, but should we try to put Him into a dispensational bottle of any other bottle... simply because God perhaps showed you something good along...

I remember a number of years ago when we lived in the country having a particularly severe ice storm. We were fortunate in that my wife and I had just a few weeks earlier trimmed all of our own trees so the damage to our trees from the storm was minimal as compared to our neighbors. The heavy...

Give God the glory!

Do you ever address the specific points or questions or verses that others put to you? Do you ever consider that following your own logic might cause you to miss the lead of the Holy Spirit to what God wants you to see? Have you ever considered that your needle might be unnecessarily stuck?

What God revealed to Adam and Eve was what they needed to know to make right... or wrong choices for them. What God has reveal or will reveal to us is what we need to know to make right or wrong choices for us. Ultimately are these different? I've of course heard of these supposed...

Normally Oklahoma is more up and down than Nebraska and Kansas to the north, or Texas to the south. It's usually hotter in Texas and cooler in those two states to the north. Every winter we get a little snow from a light dusting to a few inches, but it is usually rare for it to stay on the...

Everything we have my friend belongs to God... including our allotted time. We are only stewards until and if we actually inherit. When Jesus walked here in his own flesh about 2,000 years ago, then he was the Light of the world. Once he was no longer in the world, then we, that is, you and I...

And why do you presume that your suggestion that the words of Jesus as recorded are limited to your time instead of to God's? Would this make it fit better with your own decided understanding? Will you do the same thing with the written words of Paul? "Be careful for nothing; but in every...

@marks @Episkopos "Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt [in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, et al] and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice...

@marks @Episkopos So what then did the Apostle Paul mean when he wrote I Cor 13:12? What did Saul/Paul himself see just after he met Jesus on the road to Damascus? What happened to his vision when he met with Ananias? [Acts 9:17-18] Then again, why would increasing our faith result in...

@Episkopos @marks Hopefully Episkopos won't mind me joining to point out just a few things here. Do you my friend @marks , really believe that Episkopos comes in here speaking never having heard from God? Does none of what he writes also come from the scriptures and the Holy Spirit? Are only...

Even so, "What me worry?" Did Alfred E Neuman have it all wrong? "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Matt 6:34
