    If you believe that was what I was saying you clearly were NOT understanding.

    "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Ecc 3:1 "... a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;" Ecc 3:7 "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou...

    So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

    @historyb Really sorry to see you leave my friend, but I do understand... or at least I am trying to... May God richly bless you as you walk with Him!

    Which means you did not understand me.

    The necessity of the Trinity

    I have read short summaries of the life of Gandhi. Certainly he seems to have pleased God better than some you and I have known who are bearing the Christian label. But, Gandhi's time is finished so our judgment of yea or nay means little now [if it ever would have]. We must work while it is...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    No, my pastor taught truth as so few do these days, but he is an old man to be 94 years of age this coming July. They attacked him on his physical frailties calling them spiritual shortcoming but it was to obtain their own glory. Instead of helping him to peacefully continue with what his old...

    Yes, I am locked into God and dare not go another way. So then I guess as you say, we disagree as to how to walk that Way.

    Praying especially for your situation with the one more difficult grandchild.

    The only way a person can protect himself against the delusions coming from a loss of or a lack of love for God's truth is to check in with God regularly. Your question brings to mind the problem of the unnamed man of God out of Judah [I Kings 13] sent to Jeroboam the first king of the northern...

    John 13:1-20 - a commentary on sacrificial love

    @APAK Thanks for your words... Not many these days washing each other's feet either physically or spiritually. Lots of people bearing the title of a minister without striving to be what a real minister of God must be, a servant, who willingly looks to washing the feet of those around him...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    I do like the flavor of your words which is perhaps the most important thing. One of my best old friends @"ByGrace" on this forum disagrees strongly with me on a couple of issues but still we have been very good friends in the Lord for very many more than 10 years in spite of our differences...

    The Gift of Tongues: its General Availability, Purpose, and Power

    Who could or would receive it if they did not seek it? Not even necessarily seeking for that one in particular but simply for the best gifts God has for me [or for you]... which may or may not in each case include a gift of tongues! "Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do...

    Rethink? Did I think myself to where I am or was I led? Did I find it myself or did I simply follow the One who leads those who follow toward His Face? Jesus knows His wife or bride to be, but how well does she know him? Are there any or even many who expect to be a part of her, that are not...

    Many years ago I became convicted that many of the groups many supposedly Christian groups called cults were no worse than some of those applying the designation to them... at least as far as I could see. Really one thing that Jesus made clear to me by his words in scripture is that there is no...

    The Great Historic Revivals and What Triggered Them

    We were not there, neither one of us in the 1st century, my friend, so what is not hearsay for us other than what God has written in our hearts? My personal experience with God is not obscure nor is it questionable by me. Rather it is my testimony. I won't throw out my testimony because...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    I was gone away for several days as God led me. For the moment I am back but I am not here to fight with anyone, I really never was, but sometimes I have been drawn in... It is good to see you as well. The Catholics taught me to love God but not a lot more than that and in those days very...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    This certainly leaves some all of the way on the outside according to men and their churches. As of 6 months ago as I supported my pastor he was put out of his position by the local church authority. That left me on the outside with God alone. Does that make me a heretic because I chose not to...

    On this we agree... We almost certainly have a different idea of what it means to have Christ and to be born again. Going through all the details will not change these differences as God alone gives any real increase. Ultimately what matters is the way we walk toward God. It must always be...

    The necessity of the Trinity

    You must see that I believe that I have the necessary truth in walking according to Matt 6:33. Other things deemed necessary as per God will then be added or...?

    The necessity of the Trinity

    If God really were a trinity and He also required us to believe that then you would be correct. My primary written source is the scripture itself. When the interpretation of the scripture varies from man to man or church to church should I accept your position as final over all others? Why...
