Indeed, and when we do know the truth then shall be free. When is this when? Does each of those who say they know really know? Are not some people in delusion and only thinking they know that they are free? By their fruits they shall be known, again indeed it is so. But who that walks in...

You must have a strange or unusual definition for the word, "prove". As Christians, as followers of Christ, how can we prove our beliefs which are by faith to another person? God most certainly can, but His proof to us is not transferrable unless He is in the transfer AND the person to whom the...

@Grams I cannot answer all of your questions but God most certainly knows the answers. I am praying for you.

@chongjasmine Welcome to the forum!

Rather than rewrite it I copied this testimony from my computer which I had posted on this forum more than a couple of years ago. The actual event occurred in Oklahoma in the 1990's: At one place where I attended church services regularly for a number of years the people regularly dressed for...

I never said that and even when I was a part of the UPC I did not believe it. It is one reason I left them in 1987. I still don't believe it. Quit looking for absolutes! Only God possesses them all.

Dave why do you insist on absolutes when you know less than God? Hey, you're not alone. I also know less than God. Is any man not in this category? This is why the judgment is not ours to make.

Yes, but a baptism is required! Some are baptized in water without someone saying those particular words of Acts 2:38 almost certainly are as I understand it. The most necessary baptism is of the Holy Ghost. That is the immersion that is most needed as I see it. However, the judgment on that...

Do you really believe that everyone who has a somewhat different description of God or everyone who is only unable to describe by the use of words what God is or is not, is necessarily apart from the One God? This is why God always looks at the hearts of men rather than simply at their words...

Or it is to say what God has spoken to our hearts through the Holy Ghost. As @charity has said here, I guess for you friend Dave that would be now. If I go on it is only as the Lord provokes me to do so. For certainly there as Solomon wrote 3000 years ago a time to speak and a time to be...

And where then do we obtain or encounter or learn the 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, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26 Then as Jesus is quoted saying...

And without changing, God allows people to have their eyes opened to see something of God which was previously invisible to them. This is not God changing, but it can be the man who may move or be moved from blindness to a "through a glass darkly", to a "face to face" vision as that man meets...

And you cannot know the truth without knowing Him!

I know an old lady like that now, Helen! She will be turning 97 next month. Everyone in our recent and foolish church war wanted her on their side, but she was always on Jesus' side. When she used to regularly stand to testify, everyone present would stop any nonsense because the Spirit of God...

Then this would indeed be a pathway of men following themselves instead of surrendering to and following God.

And you it was that said the truth for men is found only in the written scriptures, yet here you are making a declaration without a corresponding verse or verses of that written scripture. You do a lot of that. You may of course believe what you will, but when you want a Bible believer to change...

I am not certain that there are really more crazy people in this sense today than yesterday [whenever that was], but maybe the contrast is being turned up for some [you and I and a few?] so we are able to make the distinction more easily than previously... To some/many certainly Jesus was the...

I already heard your stand on this and disagree. We won't go there again now. You are saying some good things, but somehow you have missed the part where it applies to yourself on that wrong way to nowhere. It is you who are in a maze, for God's Way is easy as Jesus said. Losing the original...

The inspiration originally for the scriptures was in the man wrote it or spoke it for another to write. No problem with that, but what people often fail to understand is that the message of God contained in those written verses of scripture cannot be understood correctly simply by careful study...

You are saying something not clearly shown in the scriptures. Where is there a verse saying God speaks only through scripture verbally? That phrase sound like your invention to simplify the expression of your belief rather than what God teaches through the Holy Spirit. By seeing other truths...
