    Why do bad things happen to good people?

    Very good Helen but this is one where I still disagree with you... and probably with most everyone else here. I don't bring it up often because people don't like to hear that all dying children might not go directly to be always with God. For me it seems that Adam and Eve our first parents...

    Why do bad things happen to good people?

    Thanks much for this but no facebook for me. I won't detail the reasons why I quit there several years ago, but for me nothing has changed. It remains off limits. I'll see you all here or via e-mail

    Are You Just Another Fake Christian?

    But would they, [the fake ones that is], not be the ones really in need a the Great Physician? [Matt 9:12] If you are not looking for them then does that mean that you are one of them...or?

    The greatest lie on earth

    The old man wanted to but the new man knew better. As a person grows toward God, then the words of John the Baptist apply: "He must increase, but I must decrease" John 3:30

    The greatest lie on earth

    Being a believer, a man of faith in God and the things of God what happens when I stumble away from that path of faith, the highway of holiness s Isaiah names it [35:8]. I would say that I quenched the Holy Spirit of God in me. In the OT after receiving atonement for their breaking of the law...

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    Yes indeed, the manna or even speak of the hidden manna, and not only ask , "what is it?" but know the answer to the question but don't be expecting an English translation... ¿Qué es esto? Was ist das?

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    Remember when you speak of the three fold cord to consider for these three: the alms of Matt 6:1-4; the prayer of Matt 6:5-15; and the fasting of Matt 6:16-18. If we are able to follow and/or use the instructions Jesus gave us for the proper make-up of the three cords, then it will indeed be...

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    Unfortunately I just checked and I do not have an Email address for Episkopos. He included contract information on a PM to me a long while ago but apparently after so long or so many messages they are dropped so I have lost it. I really was not expecting this kind of thing here. I still belong...

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    Now I am really concerned Helen! I know Episkopos a little better than usual from a few PM discussions. If he was banned for this thread and others similar I would guess that my own time here may be short simply because I am also trying to be honest with people about what I believe. I don't...

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    As you will my friend, so be it.

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    That sounds a little over sensitive to me. I was not doubting you but rather essentially agreeing with you. Even if it were not so, you should take it easy on yourself and on me. The only One we can always trust without doubt or hesitation is God. So trust Him. But talk to people as gently as...

    Good News?

    Without a doubt women at times have different problems than men, but I was speaking as I sure you were aware in general sense of the word "men" meaning "humanity" which would include both genders. Easily traced back in scripture to the trouble encountered at the tower of Babel, but likely in...

    The greatest lie on earth

    God rested His case in the beginning, before you believed your first belief.

    What's the weather like where you are?

    We have had so much that with each new storm we expect the flood watch warnings because the soil is soaked, the rivers and lakes are full and more rain is almost always on the way. You're welcome to all I can give. But I haven't been a successful as Elijah in this...

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    Do you require such a detailed roadmap? How about looking in the Bible as well as in our own hearts and also talking to God about it? You know the answer to that better than I with regard to yourself. I give God the glory when I remember to do so and know that this is never as often as I...

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    Yes, you are correct. It happens, but my point I guess is that it is not the most common of occurrences for most people.

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    If we only have the Bible without the Life giving Spirit, we only have a book with some sometimes interesting and often misunderstood writings in it. If we actually have Jesus, however, and believe in what we have, we have Life. So then do not say, but if you are truly one of His sheep can you...

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    So then study the Bible to encounter the Wisdom in His Word, but without the guidance and quickening of the Holy Spirit we will find nothing that is Good. Remember that only One is Good and that is God. Our hearts, the new hearts of the new man, enlightened by the Word of God are not obscure...

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    Yes, but the Holy Spirit is how I know that the Bible was written under the inspiration of God. Yes, it is written, for it was written as men were inspired by God to write it... so it contains the message. But like a message from God in an unknown tongue without an interpretation who is able...

    Is Jesus the only Way?

    No, not precisely! I cannot speak for all that he believes or disbelieves. What I believe is that we need to a have a perfect heart but a person with a perfect heart will not necessarily be sinless although he eventually he could be. David, the King of Israel, had a perfect heart, but he was...
