Yes, what was done was wrong, but God does have mercy on a truly repentant person. A person, however, who repents superficially expecting God to always have one more bit of mercy for him may well in the end be very disappointed.

Just a little more background here. Back in Exodus when they built the ark precisely as God described the need for special handling was considered in his description and command. Even the Levites, [only of the family of the Kohathites], who were to carry it, were not supposed to touch it...

Or has the definition of the word, charity, like the word, love, been changed by usage over the years? Charity today often brings to mind giving to others of our physical possessions or money. Love today often brings to mind, a sexual relationship. What was intended when the original words were...

There is, in fact, the left as well as the right hand of God. Those on the left go where? "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal" Matt 25:46 Are there no 'would be' believers among those on the left? "Many will say to me in that day, Lord...

As our friend @ScottA has pointed out, God is. You are correct, as I see it, that many people seem to paint their own subjective picture of Him. It is not God who is subjective, but men. As they get closer to Him [if they do] they will also be less often so subjective. There are people who...

Well it is not forming ice on anything as the temperature is too high, but my body sure feels it in all the wrong ways and places. This is my first winter since being on a blood thinner and I frequently wear a sweater in the house so as not make it too warm for my wife. She is always too warm...

Next thing to an ice storm here. Very wet in the low 40's [F] with a wind. I just drove to my mail box. Too wet and too cold for these old bones to weather the weather, if you understand my meaning... But praise the Lord anyway!

Give God the glory for what you do have and don't worry too much about others who seem to be more concerned with their own comfort and doing their own thing than in pleasing God.

There will come a point, as I believe it, that if a person quenches the Spirit too often under the presumption that God will always forgive him and take him back one more time, that God will not. Consider the Israelites of old, the natural children of Jacob, who rebelled against God and...

Of course it matters what we believe, but what we do with what we have is more important than what we have. What if we do not have the love which God is? "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him...

I did not say that it was not. I was simply speaking to the point, that many people cannot lay out an explanation like that. This does not automatically make you right and them wrong. Jesus simply said , '' much is given...much is required". What we do with what we are given is therefore very...

Yes, I am certain it vary according to the skin [smell or texture or some such something]. I almost always get bitten at home. Only my wife and I live here. I get them. She does not.

Yes, He has made Himself known to those who truly hungry and thirsty for the right things: "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Matt 5:6

I only posted a verse. Do you suppose that to be saved a person must be able to put together all of these detailed explanations using various sources to arrive at the correct meaning or will God lead a person to what is needed according to Him? Has any Protestant or Catholic ever understood...

Many people who have read the Bible do not know God. The drawing of the Father is a necessity. The leading by the Holy Spirit is a necessity.

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." I John 3:2

The correct thing to do always is to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. As @ScottA has already indicated not every one has the Holy Spirit to follow. Also many who do have become deaf or have learned to disregard the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Then they presumptuously declare that because...

Spiders don't like me... or maybe they do because nearly every year I get bitten by them, but they never touch my wife. Hmmm?

Best proof of God... Christ in me the hope of glory!
