I have already explained what their crossing of the sea meant to us as a type for us. We do not know what it meant to them more than whatever we are able to read in the scriptures. We could speculate but without a revelation from God how could we really know. As you said they were under a...

Without regard to covenants, God is the same at all times. The reason rebirth was given as an option was because Adam and Eve chose death and death was all that they and all of their offspring had [without regard to which covenant they were under] until Jesus came to bring more abundant Life. He...

The fate of those people is already accomplished and known by God. We don't about them personally, that is about those people who lived in the flesh in the wilderness and followed Moses some of the time. We do, or should, however, understand that those people are types of the people who after...

The trap or snare is to be found in the scriptures themselves. Why did Jesus speak in parables? Why did he not also give the interpretation of the parables he spoke to everyone? Why when the Jewish leadership came to him asking for a sign did he say the only sign they would received would be...

Always let yourself loose in the Spirit whatever the result, will it not ultimately be good? I remember now also when I was quite a bit younger spinning and sliding about on a freshly waxed floor. My mother did not complain about the effect on her floors, but because of my socks! Give God the...

I do hear what you are saying. Your effort is appreciated by me and others certainly even if perhaps not sometimes by the particular person you are addressing. Unfortunately, this happens in this world because who people are or who they are not.

I don't get into the overall course of human events on planet Earth too much, not even in prophecy. World events will not prevent a person choosing to follow God or not, which is of more concern to me. You may call it spiritualizing, but for me it is more of Life versus death for the individual.

@Philip James Amen and Jesus has these additional words to say about fasting: "Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou...

Helen, sometimes a person walking with God will go through that one more trial, the straw that broke the camel's back, and then "weary in well doing" instead reaching out more time and calling on Jesus for help, he simply says, "What's the use" and allows himself to sink beneath the waves where...

What is the use? Where is our witness for God? Only in those to whom we are speaking... or do not others nearby sometimes overhear and respond to God? Then again on a forum like this even a person who responds negatively may later respond positively to God: "But what think ye? A certain man had...

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." I Cor 13:12

It is important to gather together "In His Name" and when I can find a scheduled meeting where that actually happens even once in while it is a blessing.

Amen! I still have them, but they are well worn so I use newer copies for most of my regular reading and studying these days. Except the German for which I use my 1922 edition which is the best condition. I am hoping to find a replacement for it soon so as to preserve it. I've had to repair it...

Aye, someone was worried: "And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him." Gen 50:15 Still worried more about what man might do more than what God will do...

Aye and there is really definite difference between being known as a Christian and really being Christ-like. Of course how many can realize the difference? "Why" is certainly more important!

I understand the fear, but this is still a fear of man rather than a fear of God. Is God not able to care for His own if they are His own? "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Matt 10:28

Yes indeed by their fruits shall you know them but only by the Holy Spirit may we even always understand what we are seeing. When people quench the Holy Spirit in themselves... and they do, unless they have already completely overcome the world as Jesus did... then with the Spirit quenched they...

But there are things new to you and new to me!

I am an old Pentecostal holy roller myself. I have loved to run the aisles and dance in the Spirit of the Lord like David danced. Now my flesh hinders me severely as my lungs won't furnish the necessary oxygen for long. I yield to the Spirit still in that respect, but my body is wearing out. God...

"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;" Eph 4:14
