The cart before the horse? This is where each of us should be now: "But seek ye first the [1] kingdom of God, and [2] his righteousness; and all [3] these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33 To ever receive [3] we must pursue [1] and [2]… for how long? Instead of continuing with the...

I remember back in 1978, two years after reading my first KJV Bible, a good friend at work gave me as a gift two Bibles: a Luther German Bible and a Spanish Revised Reina Valera. He was a Russian translator for Social Security and he knew that I translated both Spanish and German for Social...

This is probably the worst thing that comes to us when we think we have overcome the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eye: the pride of life is right there to snatch us up. Just consider how swollen Joseph's head could have been when after slavery and prison he was made a rule in Egypt and...

I wonder how many of the viewers hate him?

What a mighty God we serve! In my first year at Junior College [1966] I purposely enrolled in a speech class, not because it had anything to do with my major, but because I was scared to death when it came to talking in front of people. I hope to force myself past that. It did not work, but I...

A real follower of Christ [Christian] should be striving not to sin, but most, if not all, of them do. If I had met one, who did not sin, however, how would I know it, since I am not to that point myself? I often see those who manifest too often that they do sin. But... the one who has already...

Worse? Perhaps, but perhaps not... People can and do use verses taken even verbatim from a Bible [any translation] to build a wall around what they already believe instead of striving to follow the lead of God in all things. The Bible itself, which is not Jesus, has for too many become an idol...

"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 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...

This is certainly seen in Peter's walk on water toward Jesus, at the very least, as a type or shadow of the walks of every person who has ever really taken a step toward Jesus and His Father.

@soul man When I read this I was reminded of something I wrote a couple of years ago on another forum. I may also have shown it in this forum before but it would still seem appropriate for me to show it again in connection with your OP. First to help anyone unfamiliar with them I will show the...

I am sorry for the lack of communication between us. May God richly bless you in your walk with Him and may you be edified when edification is needed. Give God the glory!

I understand your problem with this, but for me it is never consumed by anyone if it is never quickened. Quickened means "brought to Life". A closed Bible never saved anyone.

All of us were, or still are, beasts [donkeys are included]; or have, or have had, the nature of beasts. Given this, you would be correct that some are grazing here, but pointing any out would probably NOT be a good idea.

If God could speak through a donkey then...

And likely the closer we are to God the worse, as men understand worse, it will be. Will it be a good thing in the sense that it was ultimately good for you and me that Jesus suffered and then lay down his life? Painfully good? Hmmm?

I believe Jesus also was thinking of them here: "Jesus wept." John 11:35

@marks Essentially it means I believe in three heavens, but that is not a simple thing to explain and almost undoubtedly there will some error in any explanation I give but I wrote a bit over a years ago that I will copy to here that probably covers much of it: I wonder if these would or...

Being born again to me means we have opportunity and means to do what Adam and Eve could have done before they disobeyed God. They could have gone to the other mentioned tree in the garden, the Tree of Life, and partaken of it. When they disobeyed God he set them outside the gate with no access...

Well keep those fangs away from my tender flesh!

Well I would presume based on all that I have received from God that Rom 6:6 should say in effect, "Our old man is to be crucified with him". I am no expert in the ancient languages, but to me it would have mean that to fit the rest of scripture. That is what I believe, but I know that everyone...
