Even if this thing of 'nothing but ideas' were true of many who carry the label, Christian, I can assure you it is NOT true of all. Remember what Jesus said here: "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go...

Even though you started this thread, it is still a testimony thread on the Testimonial Forum. Arguments here against another person's testimony are inappropriate. What happened to @stunnedbygrace does happen to people for God's purposes. My own testimony also establishes that. But if you want...

Adam and Eve were naked and NOT ashamed until they had disobeyed God. Before that they were fully covered. After that recognizing their uncovered state they tried to remedy the situation with fig leaves, but like that too short of a bed and too narrow a covering in Isaiah they needed more. God...

And me three! I have done what Nancy did here several times for myself, but it simply never really sticks in my head.

So long as we both on the Lord's side, that is OK.

Pay close attention to @Collin Feener who quotes bits and pieces and ties them together in sensible ways, if you are able to understand them. The one I used here I have seen at least used at least a couple of times in the last year by @bbyrd009 who recognizes very well the meaning usually...

But we do need to be properly covered. What has this man done? "For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it." Isaiah 28:20

Should we fight satan? There is for me no contradiction in the two verses quoted below: On the one hand... "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7 But then on the other hand... "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever...

On this one I certainly hear you. In error I was coming only from the definitions given by Strong's for the word translated in the NT as "gospel", in that it is not shown to be a message of right or wrong, but simply of good tidings. This would not be a problem if obedience were not also asked...

You keep on saying "you" as if it applied to me, @amadeus . I did not say those things... You did presenting them as if I had done it. I did not. I don't try seek Him first my own way but if I were to do so, I would be in trouble with Him and so would anyone else that does it that way. If we...

Hmmm! :rolleyes:

I thought you had recently learned a lesson about mocking?

Amen, sister! Some of us are ready to leave whenever God wants to takes us because we understand something He placed in our hearts. The difficulty always is the gaps left in those who remain and especially those we care about that do not know God or don't know Him as well as they might. The pain...

Despite your unnecessarily harsh tone, you are effectively correct about what the Church is. Be that as it may the Man is the one who opens his mouth as directed by God and the Word of God comes forth, no matter what the physical gender of the speaking person may be. The ones sitting in...

The Church consisting of both male and female members is a woman. Her Head is Jesus.

Much of the disputing comes from support one person's pet verse in support of his pet doctrine versus another person's pet verse in support of his pet doctrine. Only God always renders the correct interpretation. Who is hearing God correctly? We, all of us, let our "logical" minds lead us too...

Indeed, but people have compiled a list of laws from the NT including their breakdown or understanding of grace as if they were now under a new set of written laws to replace or add to the 10 or 613 of the OT. Even in the OT God was looking at people's hearts rather than using some sort of...

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matt 18:20 The "in my name" part is more than a statement designating authority. Two or three believers in Christ gathered together for the purpose of discussing a football they just watched on the...

No problem, dear sister in the Lord! Just keep your eyes on Him and keep moving straight on the highway of holiness. Give God the glory!

No, there would have been no difference indeed before the atheist and pagan met the Master: "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ...
