    Buying and selling in the last days

    Very simply Giuliano let him stock up on his bread/food while we work on the more important things: "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Matt 4:4

    Buying and selling in the last days

    You really do miss the point on "truth". As Jesus said, He is the truth. Lots of people mouth that much without knowing Him, or worse, without loving Him. What is needed is a love for the truth. Without that we will find ourselves in delusion. A person comes to the Love of Truth following the...

    Buying and selling in the last days

    Do you understand that verse...? "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field." Matt 13:44 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his...

    Salvation: The Roman Road or The Jerusalem Road

    You missed my point which had nothing to any chronological order of essentials if there is such a thing. It was rather the refusal of many people to admit that they themselves might be in error. I also without a doubt have errors and/or incompleteness in my understandings. The words of Jeremiah...

    Interpretation Methods

    LOL, Yes, of course, we are all completely and absolutely open minded! And don't anyone try to change my mind on this point!

    Salvation: The Roman Road or The Jerusalem Road

    Sorry for the grammar. What Jesus brought was Life or a "river of living waters" [see John 10:10 & 7:38]. What man is without that Life is the "parched place" which is Zion. Mud, or a mud man, or Javan, would lie between those two, the Water of Life and the parched place. This would be mud or...

    meme dump!

    Your statement about dogs hit me between the eyes. Of course I have seen and considered the role of dogs in scripture and the usage of the word dog for gentiles/heathen. This is God letting us know who and what we are... if we are able to understand it at all. As for example my favorite person...

    Salvation: The Roman Road or The Jerusalem Road

    I like that "mud man" or even a "playful reference to Adam". Considering that something in between pure clean water [liquid H2O] and the dry land which each of us is without the Life which Jesus brought. Hmmm? More food for thought and prayer.

    Have you learned to communicate with them yet?

    Salvation: The Roman Road or The Jerusalem Road

    People often, I believe, argue over the literal things as they presently understand them. Likely on both sides of the discussion/argument there is incomplete or erroneous understanding, but few are often are really willing to admit this. This is probably their biggest mistake... not that they...

    Most New Christians Live Life With 1/3rd The Power Of Christ!

    The quickening Spirit is necessary for us because unlike that first man Adam we were born dead to our natural mothers. Adam was born of God and had Life until he and his wife effectively killed themselves by disobeying God. To quicken means to bring to Life. "Which was the son of Enos, which...

    The Seven Spirits of God

    "But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way." I Cor 12:31 Usually that word, "covet", is something we should Not do, but Paul's writing here has shown the opposite direction with the same word. It is not as simply as that although it really is simply... for...

    Salvation: The Roman Road or The Jerusalem Road

    Precisely! People argue about how to go about using the water [H20] and what words to speak when you are doing it and whether to only sprinkle or to dunk the whole body of flesh beneath the surface. But there really is something more important: "John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed...

    Most New Christians Live Life With 1/3rd The Power Of Christ!

    How were Adam and Eve born, if not of God? They were surely of God and would have remained so and grew and even remained without end, if they had not disobeyed God and instead of eating of the forbidden tree, they had eaten of that other tree mentioned, the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life is...

    Should we pray the imprecatory psalms?

    I read all of the Psalms along with the Proverbs regularly, the whole book as often as every couple of months, but I only effectively "pray" the words as so led by the Holy Spirit. The leading of the Holy Spirit is the most important thing as in our own minds alone, we may well understand things...

    The Greatest Invention.

    Cattails were the only name I ever heard and that is what my cousin called it so we communicated. I still did not feel comfortable with following his example of using it in lieu of t.p. Even during my year in Germany the 'rough' t.p. there had more appeal than cattails or bulrushes.

    The Greatest Invention.

    I remember being a town boy visiting a cousin in the country. When we were out playing in the woods some distance from his house, he used cat tails. I always rather chose to walk the distance to the house where paper products were available.

    The Greatest Invention.

    Just so you don't fall in love with it: "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." I Tim 6:10

    I am bored

    I remember as a child when my parents phone required operator assistance for even local calls. We were on a party line, so the rings when someone called were coded. Our code was two short rings. Of course on a party line other people could and did eavesdrop on someone else's phone conversation...
