He's been active on another forum regularly since the 1st of the year. I just checked and he was online there as of this morning.

Some people will use the warps and twists to their own advantage, and they will effectively reap for what they have sown with their knowledge of error. Others walking on seemingly in error, while retaining a sincerity of purpose, will still be able to please God and He will lead them to correct...

Many people have changed their definitions, or accepted the changed definitions of others, but few will admit to it and maybe some don't even realize that they have done it. Delusions?

Most certainly we can with God's help but most believers [those who call themselves believers anyway] deny the possibility of attaining what Jesus called for. Why would he ask us to pursue an impossibility? Is it not possible for God in us?

I wouldn't give anyone a hard time about earrings just because they wear them. I would however when opportunity presents let people know that God's Way is one, and man's is another. Sometimes we can do things man's way without displeasing God, but we do need to be paying close attention to what...

My sincere condolences for your loss. If she knew God then she is OK, but you have to deal with the empty space left by her departure. Praying for you and yours!

There was a point to my post. The point is that we are to yield ourselves to God in everything no matter what everyone else, or even most everyone else, or even most every believer, is doing. Jesus was willing to walk alone with God on planet Earth. Are we, or do we need the majority, or even a...

In the time of King David of Israel it was apparently widespread for young men and older to have more than one wife. Why would or should we 'moralize' against polygamy now if they did not do it then?

@brakelite Your question is, "How important truth"? For a believer it is or should be very important. So then as per the verses you suggested in the OP I proceed as I see it: "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth...

The following verse suggests that some sharing was occurring very early, well before Paul had left the scene: "And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea." Col 4:16

Sometimes there is a good reason. Were you not here when I wrote about the man from Central America who spoke only Spanish? He could not read or write in any language. In spite of that he stood to give a tremendous testimony of becoming a believer in Jesus. Obviously he did not believe because...

My dear Marymog, when you misunderstand or are uncertain why do you presume the worst? I really was sad as you were sad because we could not communicate. You say that my answers are not answers, but if I were to change them simply to get along, I would then be a liar.

Perhaps I need to be corrected or I need to clarify that Jesus with his knowledge way beyond our knowledge knew precisely the mind of God with regard to those who were missing the mark. God can rebuke without hesitation or deliberation any time because He always knows. We can rebuke any time...

:(:(:(:(:(:( Six for six!

You, who as I recall often use sarcasm, don't seem to be able to recognize it or acknowledge it in others. Well now I have said that that is what it is. Hold onto that smile!

I don't have a sect and I don't presume anything with regard to the salvation of others or the Holy Spirit in them. I simply seek first the kingdom God and His righteousness first and then pray for others. The rest is between them and God.

Without the Holy Spirit what good would come of our examination? Without the Holy Spirit a person cannot tell what is good and what is evil. He thinks he can and will even say he can, but look at the things in this world around today that are considered OK by the powers [laws] of men. Sceince is...

Should I lie about it? It is the truth even if no one else believes it or accepts my words. For a given situation with a definite person I would have other words as God gave me words to speak. Unfortunately, our friend @Marymog wants black and white answers that fit even hypothetical situations...

I guess I've just been communicating too long to the wrong people. My feelings are not hurt in the least. I'm 75 myself. Keep smiling! :):D

My answer was serious. I did not look it up but recalled reading that particular phrase in scripture. In the KJ Bible it is used 9 times, once in the OT and 8 in the NT. What you would see would be according to the eyes God has given you, but this is NOT the two orbs below your forehead. It is...
