@marks Even so, my friend!

Indeed, it shows a remarkable LACK of faith in what Jesus taught.

Ultimately God judges each based on what each has done with what he has been given. Some have been given more time, more innate intelligence, better education, more money, better parents, a better environment, and so forth, than others. How could your or I make a fair judgment against another...

Words, men's words that is, will sometimes cause misunderstanding and even confusion when two people converse. God can help us to understand for He is certainly NOT the author of confusion. You use the word, unified, and indicate that it pertains to you now. Having read your explanation I...

We all have done it. Of course some will lie about it. Who is not a liar? If we are growing toward God, we should becoming poorer in this respect, but some us insist on being rich and even in getting richer. The greenback dollar bill and the 20 dollar gold piece are not the particular focus here.

Of course, God has purposely included other verses in the scriptures to help us find what we need to find and understand: "Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart." Psalm 26:2 "Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart." Psalm 44:21 "Every way...

Yes, God has brought her understanding making connections between the source the seeds of natural life within herself... now diminishing for her... with the way that God brings to us through His Son an infinitely greater Life. Reproduction of natural life with its seeming complexities is...

I am not a expert on the garden variety of seeds, even though I had little gardens in my yard for many years. But such seeds break open in the soil and are like a whole new lifeform when they begin to grow. This is sometimes called death... death of the old seed form anyway. It might be...

I just watched it but due to my hearing loss I was unable to follow it even with the closed captioning on... I could have rerun it a few times and done better, but I guess I did not miss anything important with my one time viewing. Funny? I have not a clue. Due to my lack of understanding I was...

Which one of us among men was always godly? Jesus alone! No, I've heard his name, this Monty Python, but he must not have been from an era when I paid that much attention to famous men in the world around me. I have no idea even what his occupation was/is, although I suspect from your post that...

A little child before he is corrupted by following the ways of his parents and other examples is poor in his own spirit. As he 'wises' up he gains momentum toward being rich in his own spirit. A person who is and remains rich in his own spirit will never make room in himself for the Holy Spirit...

It is the ones who are rich in their own spirit who are in trouble. The poor in spirit [their own spirit, not the Holy Spirit] are those who really have humbled themselves. Consider what Jesus describes in Matt 5:3-11 as the perfect final result. You might compare those verses to to Ecclesiastes...

I gave you a like based on past experience. I am not sure who Monty Python is.

Just praise the Lord, my friend!

When I am walking in the Spirit, I am one in purpose with Him. When anyone, [me too!] is not walking in the Spirit, they are not one with God as David was not one with God when was committing adultery with Bathsheba or giving the command to place her husband Uriah in the hottest part of the...

@saintman Welcome to the forum. You have some nice pictures posted, but I would slow down on what you write until you are better grounded in the things of God. Stand firm in God, but remember as Solomon wrote in the Book of Ecclesiastes about 1,000 years before Jesus was born to Mary in...

Indeed, "looking" and this is why the Apostle Paul admonishes us: "Quench not the Spirit." I Thess 5:19 This is because any Life that we have is due to the quickening of the Spirit in us. When we quench the Spirit, we put out the Light of God in us and step forward at out peril into darkness...

Consider what it means to be surrendered and to be holy. God built a protective barrier of mediators between Himself and His called people because as He had told Moses: "...Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live." Ex 33:20 But God was working in men like Moses and...

In the context of holiness, what does this verse mean? And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Rev 18:4 Or this one? "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in...

Or perhaps a better a question would be, what do we need to be so that the Holy One of Israel will live in us? How about surrendered and surrendering to God?
