Yes, I have never seen one that appealed to me no matter what its subject. It hurts me when I see a young person with still otherwise flawless skin who has defiled [as I see it] it in such a way. I know that people often do things they later regret. For those I have understanding, but that does...

Give God the glory!

Do they? But then again, what exactly is a Christian, if not a follower of Christ... even the new converts still able only to partake of milk, the meat being too much for them to handle at the first. Everyone uses their own definitions for things, whether they write it for a dictionary or...

Are they not? When a preacher asks people to come out of their places of sin, the dwellings of death, is that not biblical? "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Rev 18:4 What...

"From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life." John 6:66-68

Waiting on it...

I believe that he did, but could I prove that to an unbeliever or to a believer who disagreed with me on that point? "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." I Cor 3:6

Of course the context is not just the sequence or arrangement or correct translation of written scripture, but God's context. That why everyone who is NOT yet already an overcomer as Jesus was an overcomer is still in a measure a liar when he opens his mouth unled by the Holy Spirit: "God...

Even to say that Jesus did break the ordinances or that he did not break any Commandments, is quite a statement, isn't it? Would we have to go through the Book, word by word or phrase by phrase sifting carefully to decide these things... or do we simply begin with nothing exception the statement...

Unfortunately, what people have decided is real may not be. How accurate are the five carnal senses? How accurate is the reasoning process of our brains? Do we presume that those things perceived by the five senses and a supposedly rational mind are correct? Why? "O LORD, I know that the way...

Yes! But they also have their purpose for us. Jesus shows us the very perfect way to live, but for all of us it is what we, [in our flesh] might call impossible. Then we look at the example of someone like David to see what more likely possibilities might be. David missed the best way more than...

Our belief must have good results... if it does not then how or why would we have a better reward than devils? "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." James 2:19

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15

Actually some will begin to, or continue to, disagree after they have studied the scripture. Study alone is NOT the road to truth: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance...

Even so, not partially but fully. It relates, I believe, to what Apostle Paul wrote here: "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." I Cor 13:12 The baptism in water is one of those types of shadows of the...

Or perhaps some of them simply were not around during the Reformation known as Protestant and have made decisions or drawn conclusions or have had revealed by God a direction to go without even considering the reasons for that event or series of events in history. Why would be important to...

Of course you are using Catholic definitions, which you already know differ at times from the definitions used by others.

And then of course there are different sets of definitions. When two people here converse and some of their definitions of words used differ, there is likely to be some misunderstanding and confusion. Communication has been a problem for a long time: "And the whole earth was of one language...

Indeed, I understand the talents from God as including all that we are given by Him. This would include place of birth, education, above average brain ability, opportunity, time (allotted to each of us), good Christian parents... or the lack of each of these. What do we do with what we have or...

Should we presume that God does not use creatures from His left hand [the shark?] to prune us of some of our clutter? Remember this psalm of David: "When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek." Psalm 27:8 We spend a lot of times looking at our own...
