The rain is pouring down heavily outside but we were prepared for it. The cupboard is not bare and there was no need to go anywhere, so we did not. We've had some hailstones but not large enough yet to do damage so all is well. Neither one of is sick although for the last two nights I've been up...

Surely so! Many years ago I read studies and did studies on this and others items of interest or as God led me. I did it but a lot of it unfortunately has slipped away again. Bits and pieces come back when someone mentions them but it won't stick any more. I am really dependent on God on this...

No, Jesus is not found in any of those three, but neither is he found in any group or church included in what men might call Christianity or Christendom. Rather he really is found in the hearts of some people and they probably belong to many hundreds [thousands?] of groups organized by men. But...

One of these days your understanding may surprise me...

Severe storms including some large hail and tornados in Oklahoma. So far today heavy rains on top of soaked conditions from previous storms has increased danger of flooding in many parts...

Then without the theology of men is one lost in spite of simply trusting in God? Did Jesus ever discuss the meaning of Elohim or the plural of majesty? Did he ever require that each person study and understand all of these details or be lost? Did he not specify rather two great commandments upon...

Again, presumption or unction? "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John 20:29 Are the fingers the nose? Is the arm the foot? All have their function as prescribed by God and as led by their...

Agreed! Yes, indeed and many more than one and many more than three! Certainly not, I did not try to do so although many would limit Him some indefinable three... Yet have you tried to do so when you moved from a simple belief in a Trinity to a supposedly an absolute knowledge of a Trinity...

I was not analyzing to come to any conclusions for or against anyone. Rather I was simply showing where and why she might have taken offense. You would have to ask her if it is where the problem lay and then take appropriate action: "Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be...

Presumption or unction? Most people are not apostles and most of them don't have the miraculous abilities to perform what men often call miracles. Just throwing the dice of chance you are more likely to be right than to be wrong... unless God is calling the shots. What is the Body of Christ...

What can we do, my friend? We may strive with all that we as natural men have and still fail. But when strive in accord with God's will, does He not fill in any gaps that require filling? People argue about works, but they really are necessary. Being necessary does not mean that they will save...

And was it … fire that is... not sometimes or always, God Himself?

I would presume she referred to this sentence of yours in post #128 in that thread of "Why the Seventy Weeks Are 490 Days - To Be Interpreted As Years" : "You don't know what you're talking about, but by god you will DEMAND that what you say is absolute truth. -- Yeah, NOT." I have underlined...

So then what is it that we are? What is my job [in the Lord or as part of the Body of Christ]? What is yours? What is that of our friend @bbyrd009 ? "Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called." I Cor 7:20 Do we, each one of us, know what calling of God is ours? Do we not...

Consider man's usage and misusage of fire. He cooks his food to the point where is most enjoyable or healthy or some combination thereof on the one hand. He burns up burnable trash. He purifies fine stones and metal through the heat of fire, etc. Anyone who attempted to entered the garden of...

As bad as it does get at times, consider the church gatherings [assemblings or meetings] in numerous physical buildings all around us where most of the time no serious word of opposition is allowed. Here, in spite of the too many personal attacks/insults, opposition is allowed. It may or may not...

Silence? What is this fire anyway? "And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is...

Is the war within each person won already? I would say, NOT. Some will say they have already won, but some have not yet begun to fight and some only just begun. While there is time there is war, and for whom among us is there no more time? My parents have completed their fight and are gone, but...

If true, this is certainly unfortunate. He is apparently upset if not angry because I and others have failed to agree initially or subsequently with many of his beliefs. Even if he were correct and all the rest of us were wrong, would his response be what we should expect from Jesus?
