    The Jazz Man

    I have gone as far as I am able with since it is apparent your only purpose here is to run down and cast aside things which you do not and cannot understand. My purpose is NOT to make other people believe. When and if you ever really sincerely interested we might continue... but for now...

    The Jazz Man

    All of us, [yes, including me] who remain poor imitators of Jesus are pretty poor at that to the extent that we come short of His Example. But if we are moving toward being like Him, in spite of your human-bent remarks, we are being increased in the "new" even as we are being decreased in the...

    Ear piercing: for sons as well as for daughters: is it appropriate? (plus poll)

    Thank you my friend for putting it so clearly! Nothing politically correct about you...LOL

    The Jazz Man

    There are lots of imitators around wanting the benefits being a Christian has provided in many Western countries... but that is changing. Many of these pretenders don't know enough to even correctly pretend. When someone really is following Jesus the difference is notable, but the numbers are...

    The Jazz Man

    The only thing we can do is really let our Light shine. I know that too many laying claim to salvation shine a dark light. They set before people a lie and tell others it is Jesus, when it most certainly is not. Many of them are calling names and pointing fingers because someone disagrees. Who...

    If every person who carried the label of Christian really did believe that God could really help, it would be more readily apparent to people like yourself. Don't let the errors of people, no matter what they call themselves, cause you to choose the wrong way.

    Understanding Romans 6 is critically important

    Because no one has posted a response to your OP have you then drawn a negative conclusion about all of us here? You did receive one "like". Was that then for naught? Who are you anyway?

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    "And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth." John 9:40-41 "And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man...

    The One who can help you knows you better than you know you, but He won't do things your way. You and others may not like this, but you cannot change it and neither can any other man.

    What's becomming of our Country ?

    If that is the way God is leading you, who am I to say nay!

    The Jazz Man

    I could give you a Bible study on it, but to what end? Very simply we follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. If you have never done this and do not already believe in it as a possibility, it would be a waste of time. To grow close to God including in knowledge you must start with belief: "But...

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    We all get to eat His flesh and have it quickened within us by the Holy Spirit, if we will allow it [not quenching the Holy Spirit]. Some people fail to eat thus never providing the dead meat to be quickened. Some fail to drink thus never providing the means for what they have eaten to be...

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    I said I was answering for myself rather than for others. Each one of us must follow God ourselves. If you want to judge me for not seeing my way as wrong and your way as right, there is nothing I can do about that. Only God gives the increase to anyone and His judgment, ultimately. is the one...

    The Jazz Man

    If they are really sincere, they will ask for help and they will receive His help. Some people are too certain of their own ability to figure it all out... and they refuse to empty themselves. "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2 "Trust in...

    Why Do You Go/or not go to Church?

    I think I answered those questions for you in one of our previous discussions on this forum, but... you may have forgotten and that is true of me as well. I have not partaken of physical bread or crackers or wafers made from grain, nor have I drunk of the juice of grapes in fermented or...

    Lets's talk about what the Holy Spirit feels like and means to us!!

    We might say it is by faith, but really it is our response to His call. How does one recognize it is Him that is calling? How does one respond correctly? In spite of what some may about it, the precise way we hear and respond may not much resemble the experience of others or even necessarily any...
