Well again dear sister, only God gives any increase that is worthwhile. I am glad you see back here posting more regularly.

Dear sister, God has better control on things than that. If we have been faithful all along the Way, God will also be faithful and will keep. If there is serious danger He will warn us. There will be no last minute side swipe costing everything unless we have become sleepy or slack or lazy or...

So would you say then that after a person is born again he will never sin again and therefore will never again need to repent? Or are you saying that he has repented in advance for any and all sins will commit later? Or are you saying something else? Please clarify.

Yes, when they cause anyone to take his eyes off of God or they become a higher priority than God in our life as measured by time and devotion to and toward God. God alone measures us. In another post on another thread I was critical even of Bible study without communication with God... that is...

The uncertainty is not in God or in His word, but in us. God knows about this uncertainty in each of us and asks us bear with Him anyway: [by what? Faith!] The Way to always be certain in our uncertainty is to always be in love with Him and surrendered to Him. Any time we are on doubt on this...

Give God the glory!

Is there something wrong with what is written in James? Was not James inspired by God in what he wrote? So try Peter: "Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the...

Yes, and how does one fellowship with Him?

You may be right!

I would say that it is more important to open up our hearts. Sincere atheists can be excellent and careful readers of the Bible.

Hmmm?

So you answer a question with a question as if that covered the ground? There is also a wide demand for illegal drugs, is there not? I'm sure that is true as well.

In one sense, yes, but alone we cannot see the forest for the trees. We cannot according Jeremiah direct our own steps. The Way to salvation is through surrender and the vision which God will give to us. But is the not the vision one aspect of the Holy Spirit in us? Without Him we can do...

Where oh where has the little @bbyrd009 gone? Oh where oh where can he be?

Even so! It does NOT say that we will find truth in our study. We may as the Holy Spirit leads us, but we should presume on the Holy Spirit. We are not supposed to be the leader of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not our servant.

You read this verse very carefully yourself trying understand what it really says instead of presuming what it says based on what you thought or heard others say: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." II Tim 2:15...

No covering or protection needed: "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed." Gen 2:25 "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did...

As it is written in James: "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works." James 2:17-18

Amen! Sometimes old friend, I do get weary and have to lean more heavily on Him. Are people so blind? I guess after so long I already know the answer...

Not by our works alone, but by the works which result from our faith. This is only possible through power of God in the us [the Holy Spirit]. We work with all that we have while we are allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us and the power of God will provide any necessary difference.
