If we all really agree that the kingdom and righteousness of God are to be sought first and we practice that in Spirit and in Truth, what a better world we would have on planet Earth... without regard for any secondary gods we may have?

I question my own beliefs daily in my prayers and in my reading and/or studying of the scriptures. But until I have been shown the need by God [He works through people too]to change, I stand where I do. Give God the glory!

"Christendom undoubtedly has many good things to teach, but I believe that without a God connection, a direct line to Him as well, it could or would all be in vain.

I disagree with some, or even many, of those beliefs, but I do not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Like you I disagree with much of what many organized supposedly Christian denominations do routinely, but I also know that even among them, there are some few who really do love God and...

What I have read in scriptures and what God has shown me have changed me many times over the years... One thing I have most definitely changed: I try to avoid saying that I cannot be wrong. God has made me see my own errors too many times.

I won't go through this again. I believe we already went through the scriptures on this subject before, you and I. I do believe the scriptures support my view, but I know other people, including yourself, obtain a different result from the same scriptures.

Amen! And if we are paying attention, He is speaking to us to direct our steps, the steps which we cannot correctly direct for ourselves: "O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jerem 10:23

Undoubtedly this has been so anywhere that a supposedly Christian person has dwelled. People lose track of or never knew what the scriptures say about what should come first. They presume that their side is the best side in the eyes of God. I believe that many on both sides of war fought within...

Too many people in each country/nation , including or even especially the United States, equate being a follower of Christ with being a good citizen of his natural homeland. "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of...

Even so my friend! This is how a person knows God! This is how a person recognized the Word of God. This is how His sheep hear His voice.

The spiritual woman cannot. The spiritual woman if we see her as the Church may include you and me when we are sitting quietly listening to the anointed preacher of God. Then we too must remain silent. God may well place a physical woman in a place where she would be according to Him the best...

History as it is written is also strongly influenced to the point of being sometimes changed to omit or lie about things not politically pleasing to the ones with the ability to compel or squelch the historian who does the writing. Who that was not an eyewitness to the events could convincingly...

Do you not as one of His sheep hear directly from Him regularly or all of the time? You have decided absolutely what the scriptures mean with no possibility of error. If God were to correct you directly or via a person you have learned to quench the Holy Spirit very effectively... or so it would...

While what you say may be so, that doesn't change what I do nor what I believe nor what I know.

That is what I see reading that chapter. If you see it differently then that I would guess is part of your vision... but not mine at this moment. Why would God not allow such a miracle?

What do I care of any man's studies unless it agrees with God? Is not agreeing with God ultimately more important?

@CoreIssue Perhaps by no one else, but that's what I call it. Are semantics as important as that so long as the hearer understands what God is saying? Same response as to 1st tongue. That I suppose depends upon the purpose God has in mind when He bestows the gift. Not every person is, or is...

But you misunderstand me. I am edified and I do understand, but according to God's timing and understanding rather than mine or any other man's.

The understanding in the heart comes to our own conscience mind as God sees the need for it. This is one role of the Holy Spirit within. We eat the flesh of Jesus, but the blood of the Jesus quickens it [brings it to Life] within us. It is not fruitless simply because we as men of flesh do not...

1st Tongue: speaker speaks in a tongue unknown to himself apparently God's direct understanding alone. This one would edify from the inside of us. (I have this one.) This one is for me a prayer language. 2nd Tongue: speaker speaks in his own language but the listeners hear him in their own...
