Yes, unfortunately even people who really have a love for God sometimes allow the poor ways of others to influence their own behaviors. Two wrongs does not make a right. All of us perhaps remember the case of Moses who truly strived to follow God but allowed himself in his anger against people...

Indeed, if we or the moderators really could solve the problem here it would be solvable on all of planet Earth. Actually, it is solvable, but the solution is according to God's plan. We cannot fix this or anything in the world except to the extent we strive to really always be on God's side...

I see your explanation and agree with what I understand, but can you clarify the difference, if there is any, between the verse you cited [Acts 2:23] and the left hand of God?

I have of course heard people speak of a rapture but I have never found sufficient reason to believe that such a catching away will occur in spite of the one verse often used to support it. I am simply wanting to understand the answers to the questions I have raised. I am glad you have found...

I am not trying to get in line with any platform. I am simply seeking to understand the difference, if there is one between the Bride and the Church as God sees it. Thanks for your input, but the waters remain muddy for me.

No, all people are not under grace but in spite of that as the scripture says and as @Jane_Doe22 affirms, God is no respecter of persons. The judgment of anyone in the end of the matter is in accord with what they have to work with... "much is given, much is required". Each person is allowed...

Perhaps not precisely as the Catholics might teach it but consider what the two edged sword, the Word of God does to believers. Consider what the fire does to believers... not after this temporal life of flesh is finished, but now while we are walking though it. If we allowing God, is He not...

"(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth" Num 12:3 Earlier Moses had been told to smite the rock, but when he messed up, he had been specifically told to "speak to the Rock": "Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and...

Even so!

Indeed, this is what happens I believe to too many new converts. They have a real experience with God when they were ignorant, or nearly ignorant, of what God has had written in the scriptures. Before they are able to get really familiar with scriptures or God themselves, men get hold of them...

We like most everyone else have had our rough times but since we started serving God [1976] there has never been any danger of separation. Now and again we still have little rough places with words, usually because one or the other is in physical pain or some other such causing a loss of...

Give God the glory!

Yes, without a doubt! Many things I don't like but tolerate quietly trying not to be openly critical. Fortunately I don't have to concern myself about a spouse again. I never insisted on such things on part of my wife. She did not use cosmetics including lipstick when we met but her hair was...

I look at my wife now. She only trims the split ends of her hair and she has never worn any kind of make-up. Is that natural?

Instead of nickels, how about pennies?

@Hope in God Very good my friend! Add also Job into the group of those examples of bad reasoning. He was a good man with what he had but really wanted to plead his cause before God. He wanted to reason with God. He want an opportunity to justify himself rather than God: "Surely I would speak...

Certainly give God the glory for this!

I agree!

Every man and certainly every group of men who have any amount of erroneous thinking and acting [against God's Way] has, as I see it, a measure of Babylon or Babel [confusion] in them. This is what each of us is to come out of... This could of course mean out of a physical church group of men...

Yes, and therefore we need to be careful about following our leaders too closely without question. "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." I Cor 11:1 How does one assure that he is following only the "good" things of God in his leader?
