    Maturity in Christ

    Considering that God created everything initially "very good" and He loved men always, would He not also have intended to please men and men like to do this or that or the other in the flesh. Are all fleshly activities evil? Certainly not, but we must always strive to remember and ask God to...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    Wishing you well with your service! Thank God my service to survive as a man of flesh is no longer even limited. Rather I am simply dependent on the powers of men that be [as controlled or directed by God] to assure that my wife and I receive our daily meat and potatoes for the flesh. I don't...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    Yes, and likely all of these scenarios you could present are at times used by God plus some others undoubtedly to accomplish some part of His purpose in this phase of His plan... the entire plan that is. What kind of vision do men have of this "entire plan"? The Life more abundantly is at least...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    This idea of not having eaten What Is It yet makes me think of the love we need to have for Truth even when we really don't know exactly what truth is yet. While we are seeing it only as through a "glass darkly" we are loving it and consuming it by faith. This is the as small child mentality. A...

    Trinity, A deeper look

    Well no one but you can live for God for you. You must follow according to your own heart and the Bible if that is where you are in this. Even you must recognize that the black and white words of the Bible are not so clear to every situation that every one reading will receive precisely the...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    The writing on our heart occurs as we eat His flesh and drink His blood but at the discretion of the Holy Spirit within us as we are submitted to whatever God's needs are at the moment. Jesus was the Word of God which means it was all always in Him. We are to become like Him, but it is a process...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    Yes, this I think I understand. Tamar had the position. She was the establish princess, daughter of the king, the formal, traditional church or maybe member of a church wanting to do the right thing, but naive to presume that men of similar or higher positions were also always wanting the right...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    This is like me not planning to be a Catholic. My father's family was always Pentecostal Holiness from long before I was born to my natural mother in 1943. Before I knew about it my mother divorced my father, moved from Oklahoma to California and married a Catholic. When I was 6 I was baptized...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    In the sense perhaps that so many are followers or worshippers of Nehushtan... People end up with Nehushtan for Jesus because they never move beyond being a baby in Christ if they were actually born again. [I won't get into that term, "born again" (or "born from above") here.] How does one...

    Trinity, A deeper look

    @justbyfaith To CoreIssue I guess that is how he remembers or concludes or understood what I said. What I have meant is that I do not embrace the Trinity or anything else simply because any other man or men have done so or do so. I have told @CoreIssue plainly that I have never rejected the...

    Trinity, A deeper look

    When you don't understand what I write you go back to an old subject as if that would fix everything. Why not back to your knees before God and wait on Him? "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    Again not seeing a connection you have decided. How about leaving the unknown connections to God until a revelation is given? Do understand what it means to led by the Holy Spirit? If we do, then why are we discussing our differences? You say we can look it up and we do and others do and how...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    And you don't understand what I wrote. I agree absolutely the scriptures were written as men were inspired by God to write them. They will remain a dead message with the potential of Life until the Holy Spirit has quickened them in a person. An atheist or even a sometimes believer in God walking...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    I'll take your word for it. My memory is fuzzy on the specifics. Mostly now, however, we are probably on the same page. The common man, the unbeliever, is dead and never really worries about it except when it comes to considering perhaps the end of time for his own little piece of flesh. The...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    I am not knowledgeable on Mithraism. It is one of those things I have heard of... but never delved into... I have always been a Christian in some sense of the word... even when I had determined that I would not be one. I do seek the Truth, but what truth will we find by spending every waking...

    1 Corinthians 2 is so abused

    As I said, I know little about Billy Graham. Once a number of years ago, but long after he first became popular, I looked for a message given by him. My search I guess was short and I had not incentive to continue it so I did not. To this day most of my knowledge of him and his walk with God is...

    Trinity, A deeper look

    You do not even understand what you are saying here. The truth is indeed contained in the Bible, but you are blind to so much of it because of you agenda. Find rather God agenda! The truth cannot be seen unless the heart is able to see it. This is why God looks at the heart... not because God...

    I might change the details a bit, but I think I am with you on the essence!
