Yes, what we call lower animals are alive too. Consider who was saved on the Ark besides the 8 members of Noah's family. The beasts, the lower animals, and who are we, or who have we been? "I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that...

The choices are simpler than that: God or mammon!

That's me for my reading ability is slowed when I have to concentrate to make out the fine print...so I routinely I increase the font size on each of my posts. I simply had it too easy in elementary school where nothing was a challenge. In high school work was required so unless I was...

"Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." Matt 7:6 Everyone of us began as a beast and/or with beastly natures. When we respond to a person who is not really hungry and thirsty for...

Who would decide who can and who cannot get on TV to teach/preach? It is not much different than this forum, except for the money...

First comes a believing in His existence and then on toward Him? "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Heb 11:6 Perhaps at the first most simply believe in God without...

It is good to see you here again. You have been missed! Perhaps some people who consider themselves as being "born again" are mistaken.

O my friend, you apparently have not read with understanding what each of these three have shared with us at times here on this forum. Just because a person's beliefs disagree in a measure with your own does NOT make that person a Jezebel. How is a man able to correctly identify another person's...

Not so many people it seems in many places consider that special schooling could well be an effort by men to direct the Holy Spirit to where we want to go rather than allowing the Holy Spirit to direct us. " LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to...

Try it this way @Episkopos as it then "tags" the person providing an alert in the upper right hand corner of the page when he next enters the forum. Another way to alert a person is to hit both "quote" and "reply" on the bottom right portion of the post you wish to respond to...

I remember clearly a dear sister in the Lord who was a slow learner or what many people called "retarded". She came to my office and filed a claim for Social Security Disability at the urging of a Social Worker. Her basic intelligence was enough below "average" to allow a rather quick decision...

And this my friend is why a proper interpretation is required. In God and in the things of God, only God can render such a proper interpretation. This is a function of the Holy Spirit but often when we bring it up that way, the person against us will argue that we don't have the Holy Spirit or...

I believe that God has always made a way for a person whose heart is right to correct what needed to be corrected before all would be lost: "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but...

One point my friend. Jesus never denied being good. Consider this verse: "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt 19:17 Jesus asked the man a question and then answered... but was...

Meaning the Valium? My wife was on that by prescription once many years ago. I don't remember the details, but she did not like it. No, I have had no personal experience with being blind myself, not natural blindness anyway. I have known a lady for the past several years whose eyesight had...

I really dislike the word "literal" on a subject like this because people often presume it means a precise definite meaning only as for instance of a phrase of verse of written scripture. According to most men, eating natural/carnal/physical food [e.g. bread from grain] is a necessity for...

Whatever Jesus was, he was tempted in all points even as we [see Heb 4:15]. To me "tempted" means he could have sinned. He was flesh. He did not sin because he walked always in the Holy Spirit from the day he was born to Mary in Bethlehem. No other man has ever done that [or could have]. Because...

And I have never said that perfect means sinless. Perfect to God at the moment is not necessarily sinless, but eventually we will achieve even that [sinless] if we can get to the point of always be led by the Holy Spirit... which will mean for sure, praying without ceasing and rejoicing in the...

Effectively people quite often [usually?] want to straddle the fence keeping one foot on God's side and the other on the side of mammon. We definitely need help so as NOT be spit out of His mouth...

Were they not itemized by someone in and for the OT to the tune of 613 without completion? Peter made it clear early on that this listing of rules or standards and following them was an impossible task: "Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither...
