As I explained once before if I am recalling it correctly, I don't like the word, "literal" here because to me, it could include both the spiritual and the physical... whereas I believe you meant physical or carnal or material. Now if you used either "carnal" or "physical" in place of...

Of course, I have slept since I wrote that but the reason I underlined it may have been to connect it the definitions I added below. That's usually how my mind works now. I am not so certain about a couple of months ago. I notice that I also included a Strong's translation of the word, "perfect"...

It seems to me you sometimes make things more complicated or difficult than they need to be. I cannot understand why you posted all of those verses which do not simplify or explain your viewpoint to me... but I will express as I can where I am at the moment and perhaps you will be able to...

You my friend are right on the money. I am certainly not against studying the Bible, but there are some like the lady you mention that are very close to God without understanding all of those details. This reminds me of the illiterate Central American I met a number of years ago who could not...

There is NO verse in the scriptures saying that God told us such things regarding being a "Christian". The word "Christian" appears in the written KJV Bible only three times and none of them relate directly to your hearsay. And if they choose NOT to satisfy your curiosity, when it is only...

Nonsense! Give God the glory!

When you tempt one of His who is walking in Him, you certainly are testing the Lord our God. The way you worded your response, do you not consider Him your Lord?

Yes, they tested Him, but... "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!" Matt 18:7 And satan also tempted Him but ... Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Matt...

And are you one appointed by God to test others with regard to their walk with Him?

Amen... even as Pharaoh in Egypt had already selected his own pathway of destruction before Moses came to him asking that he let the children of Israel go. God then used this "vessel of wrath fitted for destruction" as the "left" hand of God to accomplish His own purposes. God did not need to...

I guess some people have trouble praying because they are hooked on one definition or another which may fit some people some of the time, but... Do we not with our definitions and descriptions make it more difficult than it is or should be? I guess some who easily speak with another man are...

Yes, he is already in the hearts of those who have received Him and for those that are allow it He is growing while they are diminishing: "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

Still through a glass darkly but closer to "face to face" than I was previously.

I do not even know what the word, Fundamentalist, means to you or other called Christians, but I am not surprised by the set in concrete description of Romans 14. I do disagree with it, but I know that I am not always right, but like everyone else I most always believe what I believe. "Every...

And if what most people consider reality is in fact fantasy, then where would we be on the difference between fantasy and truth? The Truth, of course, is Jesus, but how many are really able to see him? What they do see, and more often than not act upon as if it were truth, may well be that...

Should we even suggest such a thing without any evidence at all? Isn't even a negative suggestion made publicly likely to smear a person's name, a person who may be innocent? Is this not why in this land [USA] one major point of written law was that a person was presumed innocent until proven...

Romans 14 is telling us how to treat others. How we treat our own stewardship is another thing. This is the talent that God gave to each until He returns for His own and expects an accounting from us: "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." Rom 14:12 That is may seem...

Very simple! Cattlemen don't ask the calves for permission before they slap the hot branding iron to them. If the calves happen to belong to God how right is it for someone else to put their brand on those calves?

Just keep on smiling and giving God the glory!

Your needle is stuck there. Sorry you won't even consider seriously what I am saying. See you around the forum!
