Above less than zero that is. Hopefully than will also result in something that at least above zero.

But then, in spite of what apostle wrote, we too often it seems want to compare ourselves with one another with idea perhaps of showing ourselves to be standing on top of the heap: "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they...

Does God have an Absolute Truth [AT] held out for us as the standard to follow? Or... do some [most, all] people establish their own standards based on their own "take" from the written scriptures and/or with a bit of their own ideas thrown into the mix?

If no one but God is or has been "perfect", what of this verse? "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil." Job 1:1 Could it be that what man calls "perfect" differs from what God says "perfect" is?

"Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Ecc 4:11-12

"The big names" too often may be presenting themselves for a reward as these Jesus describes: "Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have...

No, most of the time I am not impatient. When I am impatient and I have a problem in need of resolution usually Valium would not be the answer, but it is an interesting suggestion. The blindfold, however, might work... if there were one to lead me whom I could trust? Otherwise we may be back to...

@David Brayshaw A good attitude comes from a good Spirit (the Holy Spirit). The Christian does not give a person a good attitude. It really does take God working in us to change us in that direction... "And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? I protest by your rejoicing which I have in...

Praying now for Mr. Assange.

It has been a great many years ago [1970's] now for me that I was drinking my 2+ pots of strong black coffee daily . I was working in a Social Security closed to the public in Richmond CA and Uncle Sam provided us with all the coffee we wanted. I drank it strong and continuously. I forget...

And back to the words of Jesus we have come once again... "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33 When we put other things first, even apparently the best that men have to offer, our foundation is wrong and then...

Having been deeply involved in coffee in the past [2+ pots (strong and black) per day] I do understand, but as to the quandary, I do see sometimes what God shows me, but seeing it yourself and passing it on to anyone else is not quite the same thing, is it? On some things some people seem to see...

And what results do we see in these United States today? For a nation still supposedly consisting of more than 80% "Christians", how little does what we see in our society remind us of the description of Jesus we read about in the scriptures? Have the great majority of people in churches...

People want to be certain and refuse to accept any other answer even if they have to force it. I guess God allows that and even helps them along that way with or in their delusions. Real logic is a real problem for us when we try to follow everything through logically at all. Some things...

Probably a person can be whatever he chooses... by putting first either God or mammon. Some do not know the difference.

My friend, yesterday I was reading through one thread and my heart sank to see the words people were using against each other. The atheists or agnostics were NOT involved. I would certainly say from what I am able to see that some people here either just really don't care or they are deep in...

No, we are never admonished to live a "good life", but the result for doing what God desires of us is becoming like Him. He is Good and when and if we really are like Him, then "good" would not be a wrong description, would it?

Das ist die Wahrheit!

I remember Goober but did not recall it was his brother. A lot of the details are gone from me any more...I don't watch a lot of TV as so much garbage is on and it can be time wasteful. Once in a while to relax I will put on Andy Griffiths or some other oldie...

Help us all dear Lord! Praise thy holy name!
