    What do you do when God doesn't answer prayer?

    Yes, of course, but in walking by faith stay always in touch with God and read the scriptures daily. He will talk to your heart and give you the answers you need when you need them. Never presume that your wants are the same as your needs. Ultimately as we approach God more closely our wants...

    Israel is the Church

    I could not tell you precisely what is meant by "replacement theology". It is a term or phrase I have heard on forums such as this, but beyond that I would be hard to describe it. I believe it has something to do with the final result for the natural children of Jacob/Israel but I am not one of...

    Israel is the Church

    "And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God." Gal 6:16 Types and shadows exist throughout scriptures. Here is what Dave posted: Anyway you look at it, Israel may be seen as Jesus, at least in a type or shadow of the reality. Israel was...

    Israel is the Church

    Thanks for the response, but they still seem to support what @Dave L is saying. They may mean something else as well, but I wouldn't throw out either one in favor of the other.

    For many are called but few chosen

    My present computer was purchased in November 2018 with Windows 10. I don't know enough about things to easily avoid the problem. As I said I'll not try Blue Stacks again.

    For many are called but few chosen

    I am not a computer whiz and as I get older these things frustrate me. I spent two days on this before I could come up with a solution. I prayed about it and God did help me. @Willie T I was and still am interested in accessing what you held out, but not via Blue Stacks.

    What do you do when God doesn't answer prayer?

    No, He does not because He gave men dominion over themselves. Sometimes people are hurt who did not directly cause the hurt themselves. This is easily seen in children hurt by negligent parents. The only correct answer I see is to surrender always to God even when the way we have to walk to do...

    Dreams

    Some dreams today have been verified where God saw fit to verify them. Not every verification is necessary to every person. We are NOT all the same part of the Body of Christ. Each of us has his own place and function. Jesus as the Head should know them all and where appropriate He may make...

    For many are called but few chosen

    I also had a lot of trouble with my installation. Perhaps it was just me but when you presented this before on another thread I tried. It messed up my computer so I ended up restoring my system to fix it. I left it alone after that. Sorry, but I did try.

    For many are called but few chosen

    Consider that Adam and Eve after recognizing their own nakedness sewed their own coverings of fig leaves. God replaced those leaves with skin, but what if they chose rather to retain their own self-made covering? Is this not also what the man did who attended the wedding feast without a proper...

    Speaking in Tongues a Cessationist View

    Well it does say more... to me anyway. Perhaps one day it will to you as well. But in any case God is the one who gives any real increase.

    Israel is the Church

    Never mind the commentators. What do these two verses mean then? "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt." Hosea 11:1 "And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I...

    It means that, but I believe it means more than that!

    Calvinism is a Cult

    Yes, I am there only sporadically as time permits. I simply cannot read and digest things fast enough to handle it all. I must pick and choose.

    Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.

    It never has been to me even though I was a dedicated Catholic until I graduated from high school in 1961 following Catholicism from a very pre- Vatican II point of view. In the third Oneness Jesus Only assembly of which I was a part a brother explained to me in detail his doubts about the...

    Speaking in Tongues a Cessationist View

    I am not a master of anything, but I do know God. I cannot convince you of the gift He gave to me. If you believe it that is good, but if you do not, I can only refer to the writings of the Apostle Paul: "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that...

    Dreams

    But surely it is the "biblical norm" for one designated a dreamer by his own carnal brothers, such as Joseph, son of Jacob/Israel?

    Dreams

    "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;" II Cor 5:18 Whether it is of the right or of the left hand of God is another thing, is it not? I also over the years have received a number of dreams which were...

    What do you do when God doesn't answer prayer?

    The questions we need the answer to is, Why are we here? Are we here to enjoy this life as if it were all there was? How old was Stephen [Acts chapter 7] when he was stoned to death? He was apparently a very young man who had never married and had children. He missed out on much that perhaps...
