This of course is true of many Catholics in my own experience... but it is also true of many Protestants in my own experience.

Consider where Solomon was in spite of his God given wisdom. He spoke wisely of men and the ways of men and the righteousness of men walking in a time when the Holy Spirit had not yet been poured in such a fullness as it was beginning in Acts chapter 2. Yes, he was inspired by God to write, and...

Where is heaven if not within people who are walking in and with Him? What was it that Jesus prayed? "I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me" John 17:23 "Neither shall they...

"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us" Heb 12:1 Who is this "cloud of witnesses"? Perhaps they who already finished...

Consider a few scriptural examples: Abram: "And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness." Gen 15:6 Lot: "And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous...

The point is NOT that others gone from us are not alive, but why should we pray to others to ask them to do what we ourselves should be able to do. Sometimes when we are down, perhaps we need the prayers of other people because we simply cannot, but when we are walking with God ourselves then...

Also while we are there let us read this as well: "But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." Matt 22:31-32

No, to post more pictures even on this thread would be to add to the sorrow: "Jesus wept"

So far away from God has man drifted/walked that He did indeed hide Himself from us to protect us. The man Moses was given a glimpse: "And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a...

We are told to seek His righteousness [Matt 6:33] but going back to Psalms we see where David was told to seek His face. What should we expect to see? In the very beginning of our walk with God how did His face appear to us? And now? How would this different than with His righteousness? We may...

"And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common." Acts 10:15

Fortunately perhaps the writer of the OP, @Shnarkles , has already long ago placed me on his 'ignore' list. I realized this must be case for while I have responded to his carnal writings a few times, he has never answered me... not a single word, not a single post. Not expecting him to change...

When I read your words and saw the pictures, I really wanted to laugh, but God would not allow me to do so. It is important to Him and not at all funny.

Amen! God is always looking at our hearts and our progress [growth]. In each day we should be growing toward God. Each of us will usually if not always be in different places in our growth. In addition to this which applies generally, each of us is a different and separate part of the Body of...

"Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish." Psalm 49:20 This, of course, it the unsaved carnal man who know not God. Is the "saved" man better? He has at least a greater hope than the one who knows not God at all. As to the "more than merely animals" part, I...

@"ByGrace" Welcome back! I glad the discomfort it has eased up at least a bit. No, no sign of @bbyrd009 yet.

@CharismaticLady Praise the Lord! Give Him again all the glory! He is able in every situation.

Or of the "hoary head"...LOL

Sorry but I disagree. I would not have said it I did not believe it and it is all in the scriptures. Going through every scripture is not going to change your mind... nor mine... unless God is in the change.

"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. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." I John 3:2-3 The "hope" is to see him...
