From way back when I watched the Gomer Pyle show when they were NOT reruns. [I also saw in the original Andy Griffiths series.] It was a pleasant surprise the first time he sang a song on the program. I remember I asked him to sign my son's baby book, he backed off believing that the space could...

Post # 479 corrected from 1990-s to 1970's. My son was born in 1973. The event occurred before my daughter was born in Dec 1974.

I remember Elton John riding with me [I was a limousine driver] after a concert in Oakland, CA back in the 1970's. I was unaware of his sexual preferences at the time. He gave me no reason to dislike him although I could not abide his music. [I kept my mouth just about the music.] Later I...

Ah yes, our children! As to my daughter, she was "saved" as teenager and has now been married 22 years. She puts on a front for us and perhaps even for God, but she needs prayer and encouragement for certain. I have to humble myself so as not to presume that I am better than her and her husband...

You did not communicate anything!

:rolleyes:o_O

The NIV version of Matthew said essentially the same thing as the KJV. The verse from Jeremiah is speaking of the carnal heart of a man following his own ways rather than God's. I don't disagree with what they say...

You don't gather good or evil from groups or churches or even the ones you would call cults. It is the individuals that put out good or evil. This why the scripture reads that God looks at the heart... and groups really do not have a heart! "A good man out of the good treasure of the heart...

Even so my friend! The scriptures may provide us with examples of every thing that really is needed for guidance but the Holy Spirit does have work to accomplish in us and through us. What did David have in the way of scriptures? Perhaps the first five books of the Bible? Yet, the life of David...

That movement unfortunately like probably every other movement that started with God eventually splintered into different groups because fallible men were involved and allowed their own carnal desires to lead them or divert them when they should not have. This kind of thing has been happening...

Quite simply move toward, and/or ask God continuously to help us move toward praying without ceasing and rejoicing in Him always. My thought on "good" comes from here: "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said...

Give God always the glory! He is always worthy! Even so! Maybe we're on the same page here. I remember quite a few years ago when after attacking my wife harshly and unfairly, my only daughter redirected her venom at me, I am certain now, in order to lash out in a different way at her mother...

Yes, and part of His will is manifested via His left hand. It is not a place to be.

We are not as far apart in some things as you sometimes seem to think. Give the glory!

But I was really not talking about the church today, but for the several hundred years prior to the Reformation... when really leaving the church was likely to result serious persecution or even physical death. Even then I believe there were some few true believers. They may not have known much...

Are you really wanting to say that there were no real Christians [followers of Christ] in the organized church [Catholic Church] from the some early point in time after Jesus resurrection until the time of Martin Luther? That my friend is foolishness. God has always had a remnant serving Him...

What is already happening is the very definition of the words Christian and Christianity are being changed to fit the patterns of the majority of the churches bearing supposedly "Christian" names. Then any remaining legal rights under the laws of men of people to worship and serve God will...

As you probably already know, in most churches today, you would never be allowed to speak the messages you bring here to this forum. Never mind that most congregations would not receive or believe or understand what you were saying. In most places the powers that be [definitely NOT the power of...

Sorry to have disturbed your peace. If a writing is inspired by God like our scriptures, it has a message or messages from God for people. But... people are only able to hear [understand] God's message when and if it is interpreted to them the Holy Spirit. That people receive no message from...

We were not communicating. My response was to a broader subject than simply crossing the Red Sea. A person simply following God who has a lot of faith [or complete faith] in God is one thing, while a group of people very fearful for their own flesh is quite another. Some indeed might as you...
