I agree that much of that Book is a conversation between Jesus and the Bride of Christ. The first two verses of the chapter would be the words of Jesus as the Bridegroom: " I am the Rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. As the lily among the thorns, so is my love among the daughters,"...

I am unfamiliar with that expression. If anyone was protected by the believing half of your marriage [you] it was the innocent young children. You were both dead to God when you were married. When you encountered and took hold of the Life which Jesus is that changed things for you and your...

Aye, only one standard but many people, or even all people, do not understand who or what he is even though most people will say that they do. Are the answers in written scriptures? Certainly but readers of the scripture do understand what it is they read. They need a real interpreter from God...

Yes, you miss that man now who was your partner in life for so long. I do understand, but thus far may wife and I are fortunate in still having each other after the children and even the grandchildren have grown up and got involved in their own lives which often has little to with us. We love...

You may not be in favor of banning him, but it is not decided based on a vote of the majority. The administrator already raised a question as result of this strong probing. It could already be out of our hands. I do sincerely hope not.

I belong to other forums but I have stopped visiting nearly all of them because they are so empty. I dread to consider that that might also happen here. Help us dear Lord.

I also would miss him. If he were gone how long would it be before Helen and a few other good ones were also gone. This kind of thing is why we have 40,000 plus supposedly Christian denominations.

So then as has been previously suggested even by yourself, take your hands off of him. If necessary put him on "ignore" rather than presume to know where he is with God. As I have said in my reply to Naomi, her reasons for going against him relate to his failure to embrace what she or perhaps...

As I see it, it is not my place or the place of anyone here to render a final judgment against him. Your very stand here supports what he questions to a T. He is a heretic? Then so am I as some of the things you condemn in him are also in me. Be content with that if it makes you feel better. Let...

Good understanding, I believe, which amounts to agreement with Paul 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 Where @bbyrd009 catches people is when they claim in effect to already have...

Hypothetical questions like this stir up things but accomplish little. Only in real situation are all of the facts existing and therefore available and God knows them so there is a real single correct answer. The people created in the OP have no depth and no real hope, neither one of them...

I believe that God made things this way on purpose to see how well we could treat one another when we really we see seemingly different things from the same scriptures. God is not expecting us to find precisely the same explanations, but He does include in His plan as a primary thing, love or...

I know, Helen, but I also continue to see the final reward of Saul and the unnamed prophet sent out of Judah to northern kingdom. I see many other things which are the vision I have received. I must look to that vision until God gives me another while you must look to what God has given you...

No, we're not, but Luke 12:48 applies which means that since have received more than Saul or David received from God, more is not just expected but required of us. We must use what have been given in time, education, power, etc. to accomplish what we can. If we accomplish as a Saul we receive a...

David got angry with the one who had taken the poor man's ewe lamb instead of a lamb from his own abundance. It turned out that he was angry with himself without knowing it. He was the culprit. But he did not suffer the consequences of death as the letter of the law prescribed for murder and...

And what of that which is in our heart? Why is it that God looks there without regard to the proper outer doctrines being held or rituals performed? The doctrines themselves and the rituals usually, if not always, are types and shadows of the reality in which only God dwells... along with...

@bbyrd009 He may in fact take a devil's advocate approach, but it works well for me as on many things it seems to me I agree with him more than I do with the "standard Christian viewpoints" you mention. This little forum at best only scratches the surface in the process of hopefully awakening...

Even so...! Yet our goal is or should be to overcome as Jesus overcame so that the Tree of Life will open to us. People do make it, but not because they say they repented in full that first time at the altar. They make it because they had the attitude of David instead of the attitude of Saul...

Of course I was not being serious at all. Strictly from a carnal point of view I'll stick it out where I am. Not because it's better, but because this is where I always lived and I understand it better even though perhaps not very well. What I do know is that our trust is best placed in the Lord...

Would this be seeking a renewal of the British Empire...LOL? Remember I am likely descended from some colonist along with natives from across the big pond from you. Canadians are another breed, I guess, altogether.
