"No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:44 And then again... "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Matt 5:6

Indeed, people heard Jesus and was he not always speaking truth? Yet, they walked away from him and conspired against Him. An determined atheist can read the Bible looking for ammunition to use against God's people and find it. What is it he is doing when he does that?

Not suggesting anything negative. Rather just giving you scriptural support for where you are. When God gives you the words to write and you write them, but no one responds, consider the prophets in the OT who spoke the Word of God, but so many would not hear and would not obey. Even Jesus who...

What Solomon wrote pertained to the carnal reading of anything. This would include the Bible when it is read with the wrong spirit. It is the Spirit, that is the Holy Spirit, that brings those words we read or hear out of scripture to Life. Without the Spirit they are and remain dead: "Who also...

Did the Word of God become a book... or did it become flesh? "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 1:14

"And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Ecc 12:12 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance...

Each of us needs to go where God leads us. "... And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages." Luke 3:14 "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be...

You have different kind of practical experience than probably most on here and often a different kind of resulting insight into what is happening around us these days. I don't always agree with you but sometimes you do set me to thinking to remember some of my own experiences especially when I...

Was America ever as a whole, a Christian nation? Perhaps it is because when things seemed to better for the WASPs [White, Ango-Saxon, Protestants] they were filled with too much pride instead the required humility that so much of what they had, seemingly, came tumbling down. We can cry about...

I used the word, boss, on purpose for precisely that reason. That is man's typical meaning and usage... with negative overtones. God is the Head of all. Jesus is the Head of the Church [the Body] which is us... but we are simply to submit. God will not twist our arm to make us be what He wants...

I agree, but among men and in many, if not all, organized churches among men there is a hierarchy of power... A person with a physical body has only one head. There is no back up or secondary head. Should it not be so in the Body of Christ? We can look at these verses: "And he gave some...

I really do agree that God has His order both here and there [whatever the difference between the two really is], but order for God does not, I believe, mean bosses. My hand certainly has a different function in my body of flesh than one of my toes, but neither of them is the boss over the...

I see it as too many have drifted too far from God. Yes, they could really repent, but I don't see it happening in the churches. There are a few people serving God but I suspect it is effectively a smaller group than the 10 for whom God would have spared Sodom and Gomorrah. I don't of course...

I can say I know because God placed in my heart the ability to know. To transfer that bit of knowledge which started with faith and continues to grow through faith requires faith. If you cannot follow that pathway there is nothing I can do. Only God gives any real increase in such things. You...

I don't exclude anyone because of what group to which they do or do not belong. That is not my job nor yours. Some people may believe that it is theirs, but God knows. The definition of the term "True believers" is simply a phrase I use to talk with people including you in order to communicate...

I always loved them. When I was living in California they were always around. When I found them in the house I made a real effort to get them back outside without hurting them.

@Grumman Tomcat Praying with you.

The veracity of their claim is established within true believers by God, but while standing on the outside you will never be able to clearly see it. No scientific method will work here. We did not make the rules on this. God did so as to separate the curiosity seekers from those who really...

God's! How can an unbeliever understand it? He cannot. What a believer does understand can only be shared in a measure with an unbeliever. A heart truly hungry for the right things will find what it seeks: "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be...

We, that is we who really are believers, are at different levels in our walk with God. Some are babies still very much on milk and therefore only able to communicate as babies. Others are on meat, but what they know, you cannot know, given where you are... as without faith you cannot even begin...
