I embrace and love the Word of God, which is Jesus. You apparently love Jesus, but please do not try to tell me what I need to know or to embrace as if you knew my heart. God does know my heart as He knows every heart. Ultimately only He may lead us correctly. For this reason He sent His Son and...

Loving the Truth does not mean that we know all of the Truth. People, early on in the walk with and toward God know Jesus, but not as well as He can be known. We need to love Him, the Truth, unconditionally even when we don't know, but only follow Him by faith. People presume that they must know...

Study is the wrong way to get God's answer. Study as per the verse you quoted. as I understand it, is to be approved "unto God"... not to receive the Truth. Yes we are to study, but the key is the lead of the Holy Spirit. That way, study without the lead of the Holy Spirit, is the way of the...

Thank you but as I recently told another person here, not of the SDA persuasion, my wife sees to my health insofar of natural food is concerned and I pray with God. I trust my wife as my other half after 47 years. Yes, we are to be good stewards over all that God has provided, but that part of...

Yes! I had never heard her name before reading about her on one of these forums some years ago. Why would I look deeper into Joseph Smith? Why would I look deeper into Pope Francis? Why would I look deeper into the pastor of the largest Baptist Church in New York City? I have looked deeper into...

You are so concerned... but for what reason? I believe in the God who I encountered as a child of 6 years in the Catholic Church more than 70 years ago. I have gotten to know Him a lot better than I did then. I continue to move and to be moved closer to Him. This is the secret, to not remain...

I think I answered your questions on this point on another post on this thread already. We disagree and that is OK. Not everyone is at the same place on the highway of holiness toward becoming like Him. Not everyone is to have precisely the same function in the Body of Christ. What is written...

Briefly I do not embrace any kind of a three in one God. I embrace one God. What I believe, is only a belief. My knowledge is that God exists. I studied this thing for years and discussed it in too much depth with too many people on this and other forums. I have talked to God about it many...

Thank you for your simplicity. I guess I am simple in a sense, but I do believe in God. I do believe that what is written in the Bible was written as God inspired the writers. I move cautiously about condemning others for where they are or where they are not, as I do not know all things and I...

OK, but I take things as they come and as God gives to me. Before I backslid I was working hard to get it all down just right. Since God allowed me to come back...or drew me back, I strive to follow Him by humble surrender.

Yes, I glanced into those links and saved them for reference myself. I am not an evolutionist, but neither am I a scientist although I have my own ideas about science, which a genuinely pure scientist might appreciate, but I don't know any of those. My beliefs on this are biblical although I...

I say I reserve the right not because while the word is used in scripture, people today, have already redefined it by their usage of it. My definition, if I had one, would simply be one seeking to be "Christ-like". I don't like to be lumped in with those who bear the label with little of no...

I do agree, but the name does not really matter that much. A name like this that does not really describe what I am for the benefit of someone I want to understand it, is meaningless or confusing.

@Heavenbound Do not the inspired writings of Solomon still apply even to those bearing the label of "Christian"? Too many still looking through his own eye instead of the eyes of the Lord: "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2 "Beloved...

You are a bit specific. I may be but I am doubtful I could be... Some of the headings I might have to look up before deciding any position on them one way of the other: I specifically have nothing that I could call myself at the moment other than a follower of God and His Son. My responses in...

@bbyrd009 As promised! See below... I met with my pastor this A.M. as usual on Wednesdays, but this time I asked about that visit to Israel. He used to go to Israel every 18 months beginning in 1963. He always went in either the Spring or in Autumn as the weather was best at those times. The...

And Elvis Presley an even bigger singing star died at age 42, but his death probably related more closely to his life style.

Just a little time here this morning while my wife runs to her necessary Wednesday appointment. When she returns, I'll be off to my own. Thank you my friend for the birthday greeting. I already, in my flesh [not the 'new man'], felt old, but people long ago, I guess, started this practice of...

Too late tonight as I see that you wish to continue while saying that I am stubborn but in error. Have you already forgotten that only God gives the increase [I Cor 3:5-7]? He may use you or me to do it, but we should not presume that He will. Now I must go the way of a tired old man to my bed...

His Body is to be, you and me and each other one prepared to function as a part: each of us no longer parched with thirst. Did not Jesus die on the cross? Until His Body, the Body of Christ is ready, where does he lay his Head? "For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his...
