"I said in my haste, All men are liars." Psalm 116:11 And to the extent that each of us is in error and teach our errors to others as if they were truth we are still liars... and then look at the following verses that God inspired Solomon to write: "There is a way which seemeth right unto a...

Dear sister, be always ready but don't be in a hurry. It will God's time rather than ours. My pastor will 94 years old this month and he has plans for three trips for certain between now and September. I can only make one of myself and I am a youngster of only 75 years. "O my Father, if it be...

During my active Catholic years [I never missed if I could help it] I never owned a Bible and none of my Catholic friends did. The CC made some changes with Vatican II but by that time I only a nominal Catholic never attending mass anymore. @Grams There was one man in scripture who asked to...

The war was/is in you (or me) and it is about you (or me)... whether there will be heaven within you (or me)... or hell. "From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?" James 4:1

While we are IN the world this kind of thing is always biting at our heels. Until we get out of this world, it will be so. Jesus did... even before he died on the cross: "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name...

You would not, I guess, be surprised at how many people would try to establish a marital relationship when there was financial advantage or to establish that there was NO marital relationship when that was financially advantageous. For example, I remember one lady who came in to file for Social...

One step at the time, my friend. Even when we know the name is Jesus, how well do we know him? Spellcheck problem?

Our daily bread, no, with a double portion on the 6th day. Hmmm?

Manna = What is it? When the children of Israel first saw the stuff on the ground they did not know what it was that became its name: What is it?

Interpretation? Hmmm? Roughly: By corporations he is saying that most churches established by men have placed themselves under government [rather that of God alone] monitoring and even control by forming a non-taxable corporation with a tax exempt status with the IRS that is recognized by the...

What is valid to God? The sincere commitment of the two people being joined in a marriage ceremony makes it valid to God... so long as neither of the two is playing games with the other or with to God. The validity under secular law is something that varies from state to state and nation to...

I really wouldn't worry much about the ordination for funerals but for weddings he wants to be sure that the ceremony is recognized by secular authorities. Even this is not a problem for your husband but it could be important to the marrying couple. Who really ordains a minister is God. He is...

That's me... or at least I was when I performed my one and only funeral service. I have never conducted a wedding but then again I've never been ordained by any man or men either...

@marks One last and final apology on this and no further efforts since we are still not communicating. I am sorry for anything I said which you consider as personal and unnecessary. I could defend each of the three examples you provided or explain what I meant and why I said them, but I doubt...

What I see is the blessings and the curses of God according His Word being implemented because this person [e.g. the pharaoh] did something which invoked a curse or that person did something that invoked a blessing. Consider that all the Word of God that pertains to people as if it were spoken...

I will try one last time. You apparently have not understood what I have said but I am not certain I am able to say it more clearly. Nevertheless one more time: In my initial post to your thread I posted a verse of scripture that related directly to your OP and then asked you questions based on...

Process of elimination? Perhaps useful along the way, but can we depend upon it to bring us to the Truth of God? Consider that Jesus is Truth. Is there ever a time when we may be unequally yoked and be in God's will? Thank you for your input.

@marks I am sorry you took my words that way. I really thought you were interested in discussion rather than in only wanting to win a debate. I don't want to win... not like that. I want rather to let go and let God take each of us to end of the road with Him. My mistake for jumping to...

And perhaps we should not want to be in the left hand of God, and many of those things not so likeable in the OT are the work of His left hand. As for instance the Pharaoh over Egypt in the time of Moses had made up his own mind to be the 'bad' guy, but God used that to accomplish His own...

Sorry I thought you were a Bible student and a disciple of Christ. No, if you are really that disinterested in the pursuit of truth I will leave you to your 'druthers'. I only wish I were able to convince people of their danger when they have lost their love for truth, but only God gives any...
