Not only Episkopos, but also you and I and all the other guys... or most of them. Errors in people who have not overcome completely and finally as Jesus did are always mixed with the measure of truth they do hold until they have finished overcoming all that they need to overcome. That means you...

What are you trying to say? That sometimes we, perhaps I especially, defend when a person's behavior would warrant perhaps rather a rebuke or at the least silence? All of us miss the mark at times... Whether I agree with a person or not even in a measure is a factor with me as I attempt to...

Oh yes! Sometimes I slip on this myself... and I don't always recognize it until after the fact. The only thing a person can do is to strive to stay on the Lord's side and sometimes we simply have to ask Him for help one more time. How many times will God answer our request for His help?

Sometimes we must wonder if it would better to remain silent in the face of such opposition. But... Jesus moved on along the road, His Road before drinking the cup that was His to drink. How can we do less?

Certainly not against our own biases and our own understandings or misunderstandings for who among us readily admits in the moment of confrontation that he is in error? Solomon's words written as he was inspired by God with regard men still apply today. Some or even many people assume or presume...

I failed to mention that I guess because few believers will recognize or admit the possibility that their own heart is closed even to God when comes to what they believe that they know. "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts" Prov 21:2 Too many people...

In your mind you have decided that you do not believe it is the right thing to do. But... you already knew that. Don't play dumb.

Even so, but remember that others are also using sometimes the same scripture in the same versions as you or me and coming up at times with different results. The difference is in whether we are leaning on the Lord or on our own abilities to guide us, is it not? The testing occurs according the...

Actually it is a lovely place as I recall it but it never rained while I was there. I was a student in West Berlin for a year and only occasionally was able to travel to Spain. I remember walking through a muddy orange grove one night and waking up in the morning in someone's front yard. When we...

So test away but no one's decision other than God's counts in the end. Anyone who disagrees with Him is wrong and that includes me. I stand before God now daily and each time I connect with Him He lets me know it. He is working with me helping me move toward a 24/7 [pray without ceasing...

"Rain, rain, go to Spain and never come back again". Sorry Spain! We've had record lots of it and the forecast for more of it most every day in the immediate future continues.

So put on a blindfold, insert ear plugs in your ears, tie your hands behind your back and start running as fast as you can at random. Why not?

When any person is "in His name" and speaking only as the Holy Spirit directs then what he speaks is the Word of God. Should we compare what is written in the scripture with what God speaks through a person and decide when what He said was at the highest level? A person speaking may speaks God's...

Thank you! You do the same. Give God the glory!

Well most all of them do... including yourself... that is believe something. Do not all of us believe at least in part what our natural eyes see and what our natural ears hear? When was the last time you walked against a red light at a traffic intersection paying no attention whatsoever to the...

Yes, but I especially did not read all of the bickering posts carefully. Apparently some people took offense and lashed out when they were offended. "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" Matt 18:7 If...

Communication is always a problem for men. We may really understand something correctly from God, but to communicate it another person is sometimes not easy or even impossible. Here again we must remember that while God may indeed and perhaps often use you or me or some other person to do...

It was spoken by Jesus, not by anyone's Bible. Bibles alone do not speak. If the words written in the Bible speak to you, it is the Holy Spirit in you quickening them. A real atheist with a closed heart will read the same words of scriptures you read and not hear a thing from God.

The authority can be found in the written text of the Bible my friend, but without the Holy Spirit to interpret for us, we are like the hearers of the parables of Jesus who understanding His words failed to understand God's message. All of us fail to understand when we quench the Holy Spirit and...

Are you the final arbiter here? That woman readily admitted she was a dog and would be content to only receive crumbs from the Master's table. What is it that you wish to receive here? Will not crumbs from Him satisfy what you are seeking? What do you seek?
