Really never enough order or enough time to order it all exactly as I would like. Yet, as I can I keep on working on it. My wife likes me doing it because it keeps me too busy to bug her all of the time. Years ago she used to come in and clean my study, but I got after her on that because after...

The coin thing never caught me like stamps did. I recall as a small boy along with my slightly older brother taking my mother's collection very old coins in a large glass jar to the grocery store and spending the entire collection on the gumball and candy machines. It was years before I realized...

I was solid stamp collector until I went away from home after high school. I set it aside for years and then still having my old collection, my wife encouraged me to get back into it shortly after our marriage in 1972. From then on until now with reductions as noted on that other thread and here.

It gives us good reason, does it not, for believing that a person reading even the very scriptures without the Holy Spirit might as well be reading the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Believe me I was not normal when it along with my secular job was about to cost me my walk with God... but I told that story elsewhere recently... Oneness with God From what was the world's most popular hobby when I began collecting stamps at about age 7 or 8 from my mother's mail to its...

Too much already and it is already too late to reverse it.

Vieleicht habe ich keine Ohren.

You really do need to learn to communicate better. Vieleicht wir können auf Deutsch sprechen?

I heard and understood the first time. I was merely amplifying or explaining a bit...

Thanks Wafer, but it must be baby steps for me when it comes to new things that I don't use regularly. I do well with my computer in the areas that I regularly use it, but there are things it apparently can do of which I am only vaguely aware. In any case I cannot think of a single website where...

I don't disagree with you. However even a prayer written out before when declared from the heart of a person can be heard by God. Has anyone ever "prayed" a psalm as he read it in the scriptures? Has anyone ever prayed the words of a known song as he sang it?

Hey, with that I may actually retain it after this for I do know what a lector [a reader] is. Two readers come together supposedly for discussion and at times as we see on this forum strongly disagree with each other. Hmmm?

What are you saying then for here we see where the devil had also been reading the Bible which he even quoted to Jesus: "And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee...

And who are any of us to deny his testimony? If you don't believe it that is you, but only God can know the truth [or not] of his words. Unless you have had a personal revelation from God yourself, how can you deny the revelation of anyone else? Remember here the advice of Gamaliel: And now I...

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice." John 10:3-4 Are you saying that we are not and cannot be His sheep?

My problem my friend is the meaning of the word dialectic will never stick in my mind. I have to look it up every time someone uses it before I can seriously consider any question raised on the subject... Is this mental block normal or a sign of old age?

Rather than hating repetition per se I would say that he does not hear vain prayers... which at times may include repetition, but all repetition is not necessarily vain: "And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass...

Yes, when I was young in small town California, all of the kids ran the streets at night with never a care and never a problem... It was a different world. Strange about my daughter and her older brother. In California they both attended Christian schools all of the time. In Wyoming we tried...

Thanks for the info. I know I've been called worse by people who claimed to be Christian.

A tea-totaler I am not. I always loved beer after spending a year as a student in West Berlin [1969-1970]. I stopped getting drunk when I was converted to the Lord in 1976. Now I might have one beer once or twice a year. I've had one already in 2019, so I should be careful from this point on...
