Even so! This has always been the problem of men!

Yes, only human when standing alone, but when I really am standing with God how much more should I be? God knows and when I seem to think I know, the pride of the "old man" gets me into trouble every time: "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be...

What many people refuse to realize when they have received the gift of the Holy Ghost is they still need to taught, to be led and to submit. The Holy Ghost makes that a possibility... not an already accomplished fact. It comes back as it often does to these words of Jesus: "But he that knew...

But Jesus did not miss it, not at all, although many bearing the label of Christian seem deny the truth of that verse at least indirectly, and some perhaps quite directly. I readily admit that too often I have been one of the guilty ones... perhaps more guilty because I have long been aware of...

Even so! There are too many people who do not use the gifts of God as they should. No matter what anyone says, listen first to God and let Him direct your steps. If you are sincere with Him, He will lead you where He wants you to go.

And also consider that Jesus never spoke in parables. And that we are not ever supposed to be like Him. When we close our minds and our hearts to the possibilities of God which limitless, we limit God Himself.

Well at least you are reading what I write even though we still do not agree. In a sense not easy to explain we may be saying, at least in part, some of the same things, but God knows.

We are not quite together, but we are also not so far apart.

@JellyJam Why do you speak as if the condemnation were somewhere in the future? "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18

"If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto...

In a sense from my earliest memories I have always believed in God. My first memory of considering the existence of God was when at the age of 6 years I was baptized in a Catholic Church. I built on and/or God built on that first vision of Him at age 6. There were two periods when I tried to...

Very simply consider whether it all could have happened by accident and go on from there!

Very good, Helen! Give God the glory indeed!

If I were doing as you suggest, I would be in a delusion. The only way I have found to avoid delusion is to keep first things properly first and keep going back [daily!] to the lowest room with God so that completely empty again He can refill me or correct or whatever He sees fit to do to keep...

Indeed, in Pentecostal churches as in other churches there is foolishness happening, but don't let your personal ignorance [read : lack of experience] or bias make a decision to throw everything out. Consider rather the advice of Jesus: "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time...

Certainly no man can while you block God. God has power but He gave to each of a bit of His power in the choice we are to make between Himself as mammon as Jesus said. God cannot break His own Word. Until a man's time is finished... that is until his course is ended [until the dirt is thrown...

No, I was simply trying to penetrate the hard shell you have built that limits God's working you. I will continue praying that God open a way for you... for ultimately the decision, to open or not, does not belong to me or even to God... but to you. To block Him or not! There are only two...

Yes, it is so given by inspiration of God, but alone without the Holy Spirit a man will never make the perfection and never be furnished "unto all good works". It took inspiration to write it and it requires the same inspiration to correctly understand it and properly use it. Give God the glory!

When I am in the Spirit I do understand... always. When I am not, I do not.

Without the Holy Spirit in a person to quicken the scriptures read or heard those scriptures remain as dead as they were unread in the book. Jesus did not heal a single person while he was dead between giving up the Ghost on the cross and the Resurrection. The Bible is not complete alone. It can...
