Yes, this is right on it. That verse would come to my mind each time I was at a fellowship/worship gathering and at meal time, the powers that be in the home assembly would say, "let the ministers and their wives go first". I did not want to be first and usually was not in a hurry to eat anyway...

The self promotion goes along I John 2:16's pride of life: "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world" What, I believe, commonly happens to sincere believers is they by the power of God almost...

It goes along with this: "But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their...

Our friend @VictoryinJesus showed it here: The mark of the beast:

Very good sister! I brought up the OT situation because people stumble on it... not understanding God nor giving Him credit for being to handle every situation more fairly than any of us can [in our flesh]. Amen! I am pleased to see that you don't stumble at the situation. Give God the glory...

Yes, but remember Caleb and Joshua. Unlike the other Israelites they were faithful... But, they too had to go through the 40 years of trial and tribulation in the wilderness before being allowed to enter into the Promised Land. This means that even a pathway of soft beautiful roses still has...

I am no expert on the history of the changes in the Court since its establishment, but a great many years ago they made a turn or turns leading to more power to effectively establish law through court decisions than, as I see it, the writers of the Constitution intended. Sometimes good decisions...

@epostle Much or all of what you posted in #2006 & #2007 is so. I have known a few of those Catholics who presented the picture we should see in all followers of Christ. I have also known a few non-Catholics presenting such a picture. The biggest problem with all people without regard to where...

There may be more than 10, but I doubt that the population of those two cities was even close to what the population of the United States is today. How fair is God who has never changed?

Very simply it is people who want to change it. They want to be completely democratic forgetting completely what that is likely to do the rights of minorities. If leaders seem to be going that way as well, consider that most, if not all, of them are politically motivated. While the polls may...

Yes, but amendments are not so much the problem as court decisions which even to many novices or amateurs appear to be error. The way it works is that a decision made or upheld by the U.S. Supreme has the force of law in spite of error... and there is no appeal from that level within the legal...

@Mayflower Too late? It [the Constitution that is] has already been changed by people as I see it... changed to what they want without regard to God being missing nearly everywhere. Our recourse as the people of these United States who also really do strive to surrender always to God is to this...

I really don't think too much about all of the conclusions or lack thereof involved unless God gets on my case. [He has done that more than a time or two]. When I don't have a precise answer on this or on anything in the scriptures I go back to this one: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God...

Some may really be able to Live going along with what appears to be the party line, and in a sense I can also, but ultimately I find myself sometimes or often rebelling against complacently satisfied followers of an absolute truth they say that they know. Who knows?

If we can see it, it is not a thing of chance, simply a matter of luck, but rather when God is in it and we are paying attention He has exactly [not sometimes and not nearly and approximately] the answer that we need. One that used to bother me was the test used for the wife when it was her...

I really believe that I do understand it well enough myself much of the time. It's those times when my own doubts come back at me hard that... etc. What is most difficult for me is my own hard-headed view of people who cannot see what I see. I ask God for help so as not to openly express it when...

Ach! Da ist auch ein Mensch der Deutsch spricht.

Look at I Sam 23:9ff

Yet in Luther's Bible translation antichrist is always capitalized simply because it a noun. All nouns are capitalized in German without regard to them being Proper nouns or not, without regard to them being the first word in a sentence or not. We always need to be led by God to come to His...

Or... the beast is human... able like no other creature to maliciously disobey God. God is merciful and forgiving, but there is an unforgivable sin to deal justly with the worst of reprobate men. We can lay it on devils or evil angels, but if those are not men, they are certainly no worse than...
