Is truth really obvious to everyone? "Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all." John 18:38

Indeed, our God has always been a merciful God. King David was guilty under the written laws given to Moses of adultery and murder... yet God looked beyond the black and white letter of the His own law as it was written and spared David's natural life. How does that relate to you and to me...

I certainly hear you here. I don't really want to be young again, but there are things I miss like a good game of tennis or going for a walk just because I enjoy it. I don't walk for enjoyment any more because standing or walking instigates the pain in the sciatic nerve on the left side. As for...

Even so! Give God the glory as we are content with what He has given us... even our taste buds.

I lived in Wyoming for two years, but only had a garden one of them. I lived in town, but had plenty of room in the back yard and proceeded to dig up a plot with my shovel as I had always done in California. [At that time I was doing it all by hand... no rototillers.] Quickly I discovered that...

You are reading into my words things that I did not say. "And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies." Num 10:9

Thank you for sharing this here. Much of it fits with some of my own understandings. Other parts seem strange to me but that does not mean that I discount their value. All the years I have been reading the Bible and still God is showing me new things. Your experience can mean something for you...

Not during my own short visit there, but it was never so cold as either West Berlin or Wyoming in the wintertime.

Yes, while no farmer, I always planted my own little garden every year until a couple years ago when this old body was just unable to handle it any more. I had always enjoyed it as a time to meditate as I worked, a welcome change from my office job, but when the discomfort of an aging body began...

Sorry about the coffee!

They begin without much of the garbage that older people have gathered. For myself, I was really drawn in toward God was after I was finished with college. Then to approach Him more closely I had to shed a lot of what I had learned there in that so-called place of "higher learning". Still more...

"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." I Cor 13:11 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33 No spiritual lesson...

I lost you, this post that is, for a while. Now here you are again. Give God the glory! In His name together let us talk to our God asking Him to direct us along His pathway!

Are you missing England these days, Helen, as in Canada the cold simply never seems to go away?

A 'real physical place'? And where is that if all the physical things supposedly perceived by the five senses of a man, the temporal setting, is merely the figment of someone's imagination? When it is gone, this figment, then when nothing is left but God and the "new man" of each of us who has...

Actually while you are correct about the two onyx stones placed the shoulders of the ephod, there are 12 different stones placed on the breastplate. Six tribal names each on the two shoulder stones and one tribal name on each of the 12 stones the stones on the breastplate. I just checked it in...

I was implying nothing about you. I was simply describing what I believe generally. Physical age may be a factor in our maturity in the Lord, but sometimes very young people in the flesh may be more mature in the Lord than a physically much older person. The ability or duty to assign to you or...

Go back to the OT where the making of the priest's vestments is described. Wasn't it the ephod that had the 12 stones with the names of the 12 tribes of Israel engraved on them?

Yes, I sometimes read studies of other people, but more often than not, at best, they give me clues about where to look further. The answers are in the scriptures, all of the answers we ultimately need, but other people's words sometimes contain things that God has given them to share knowingly...

This is why I so many years ago found it necessary to empty myself when I come before God each morning. Some people decided a long time ago what heaven was and where it was located. A lot of people now believe what those others decided so long ago without seriously checking in with God about it...
