I also never liked it much either, this hermeneutics [no offense intended to our new member @hermeneutics ]. I only learned that there was such a word and what is meant a few years ago on a Christian forum (not this one) and by that time I was traveling a different Way! "Then shall the lame...

I had this same kind of problem. I use parts of the Book of Revelation at times as God has given me some things, but there was and is much of it that still reads at best fuzzy to me. So a couple of years ago I bought a set of two books which covered only the Book of Revelation. I read a bit over...

@hermeneutics Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing your testimony! God is able in every situation, but in every situation we need to trust Him!

Not many people really put much stock in faith in and toward God. They may often will use the word "faith" in their discussions or explanations, but they lean too heavily on their own understanding or the understanding of other men... usually carnal men. Their first faith, their primary trust...

If we really believe...? Do we? If we really do than you are really right! At the end of our course, ideally then the "have" will equal the "want" will equal the "need". For most believers, I do not believe that this is really true yet although I really cannot see so well as that the hearts of...

"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 thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast...

Amen! Every day and every moment is what is needed. God recognizing our limitations has a lot of mercy on us, but we must still keeping on trying to do better. Without Him it is impossible, but without effort on our part, He will NOT fill in the gaps left because of our limitations.

No, I am saying that God has always known exactly what was going to happen and in places caused them to happen in certain ways to accomplish His purposes. How well do we see God's whole plan? How well do we understand God's whole plan? What does it take for any person to be drawn to God? The...

LOL Good enough for sure! What would we do if we had no translators at all? What if we had no written Bibles? People involved all through the process. Only through the help of God may any of us understand anything that He says to us... written or not!

Remember, my friend, also in your line of thinking why it was that Jesus spoke in parables. Do we all understand everything God wants us to understand at that first reading, or even the 2nd or the 3rd? I have read all of the scriptures, [and not only in the KJV] many times and yet still God has...

Not really a good comparison, Bible versions and automobiles, is it? Some people today make the same kind of statements with regard to Christianity being obsolete with old fashioned rules which do not address modern issues. That is certainly not the case. People have always been and remain...

And God was certainly aware of and likely even instigated that commissioning. Would King James, if he were indeed an evil man at the time be the only heathen or sinner that God ever used to accomplish His purposes?

Or they were allowed to be in there to accomplish part God's purpose, God who has always known all of his plan and included things perhaps which we would never have expected... until He shared them with us.

Saul/Paul the apostle was a thinker and a well educated man in the scriptures. He apparently knew the scriptures very well when he was deeply involved in persecuting believers in and followers of Jesus, having them thrown into prison and killed. With all his scriptural knowledge he was really...

While what you say is true according to the written scriptures, the actually words spoken are never as important as the spirit or Spirit with which they are spoken. My step-father's first language was Portuguese and it was his only language when he entered the US Army for WWII. He had grown...

I don't know. His recent memories are terrible [he's 94], but he loved Israel and remembers a lot about it. I will get back to you on this.

The fire baptism is that which is burning up that which is not good [only things of God are good] within followers of God now. In the OT we types or shadows in the burning bush Moses saw not being consumed and the three Hebrews thrown into the fiery furnace at the command of Nebuchadnezzar were...

Shades of Ananias and Sapphira!

My old pastor has been to Israel more than 30 times since his first visit in 1963. On one of his early visits he has often told about him and another minister baptizing some of their fellow visitors in the Jordan River. At that time it was not controlled so anyone could have done that. Since...

Yes, there a lot of people who cannot see or understand God's truth and many dead people walking around us and some like sitting regularly in pews. As believers in Jesus... What is it that we have? What is it that we want? What is it that we need? Praise His holy name!
