There is the breath of a man and the Breath of God. The temporary things man names life, God names as death. Jesus speaks of that temporary life which is death here: "And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me...

A hard question and who knows the answer? Have any of us who has really served God at all ever felt that God has forsaken him? When we in the depths of a pit have none of us called out perhaps in despair or even anger and He was "seemingly" not there [no answer right now when we believe we need...

@H. Richard You speak of people boasting about a certain theology, yet what of all those who say nothing but simply strive to follow Jesus? Since you hear nothing from them why would you or should you presume that their faith is equal to yours in every point? You regularly deny the power of...

I would say that you don't know @bbyrd009 very well. But probably I don't either when it comes down to it. Then again for your argument of him not being with "us" it would depend upon who is included as in the antecedent of that pronoun. Toward the end of Jesus' walk as a man of flesh many...

Probably some of the people who might stand against you on this forum for your beliefs or your confusion also cannot grasp fully what they say they believe. In any case, are we not to live by faith rather than by knowledge? Welcome to the forum!

Amen! Give God the glory!

I will stand with the verse I cited. The questions we may ask are what is His Kingdom and what is His righteousness. The answer He does have for us: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" Matt 7:7 But, don't ask amiss! "Ye ask, and...

"And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27 "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" Col 1:27

I think rather that what our friend, @bbyrd009 does with his thoughts or questions is to probe or stir up the practices and beliefs of people who have stopped seeking the correct first things firsts... if they ever did. Many do not know where to begin seeking because they never learned or they...

Most of my life has been spent involved in regular attendance at some designated place with others as "people of God". My longest uninterrupted period of such involvement began in about 2002 and ended in October of last year. It has troubled me some, this period of separation, but I also know...

What is our first love? "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love." Rev 2:4 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33 If we are seeking earnestly and firstly those two things...

Indeed they are not at least not completely but they do have animal qualities or instincts which when followed will lead them away from God and godliness. That is the way of the selfish person. As a child it is tolerated and even taught because it may necessary for survival [crying from hunger...

I don't know about one verse that speaks directly in that way. Perhaps someone else here knows one... But consider these two verses. First here is Jesus speaking to the Jews: "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and...

The only proof needed is that which God writes in our heart and speaks to our ears. That others will disagree is a given. You don't need to know you are correct on every point. You only need to know God and follow Him. Leave the difficulties and differences to Him. Simply... "But seek ye first...

Right on it Helen! As man's organization increases, the lead of the Holy Spirit decreases: "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

This is good, but you don't need to tell those things here to us. Keep them between yourself and God.

I am praying now for you and your Mom.

Simply put, yes! The thing is to be honest, none of us can win the battles within us alone. This is why Jesus came to make it possible as it says here: "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27 So what we...

So I guess this means there are some differences in our visions!

That my friend is the way of men. Of course, LOL, if you agree with me you are right as well...
