All sins forgiven at the point we acknowledged and repented. When we changed our minds and sinned again after repenting, the new sins are not covered. It's back to Jesus again: "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the...

Also consider that very few people who belong to one particular assembly will visits other churches with regularly, if at all, that are not part of their particular denomination of fellowship.

Why then did Elijah trust that the still small voice was that of God rather than the wind or the earthquake or the fire [I Kings 19]?

Believe me, I am familiar with the verses on each side of this question. Too many people simply go with the majority or with their leaders or with their families. That is NOT the way to the truth. But this thread is about overcoming rather the nature of God so I will not pursue it further here...

When I was young in my mother's home Thanksgiving was never boring. We children looked forward to getting together with cousins and others of our age to play and enjoy the family together. I always did really enjoy the family. This continued later when my generation was grown but my mother still...

Sounds like you have been quite a bit as well. Our God is able. Thank you for your prayers and , yes, you will be in our prayers as well.

I guess it takes all kinds in many places. As I said all of my experiences with nuns and also priests were very good ones. I know that others cannot say the same, but any where the punishment was undeserved or overdone it should have been corrected by someone. This is not simply a problem for...

So let it be for you what you see, but don't presume. You won't find the term God-Man in the scriptures.

You take it as it comes. Eventually if you are trusting God all along the way He will be taking you everywhere it is necessary to go. "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

I've been there and done that myself... that is to push so hard as if by doing so the person would yield to me. Of course therein as you say lies the trouble with expecting anyone to voluntarily yield to us. No one will be converted to another way of walking by arm twisting. Nevertheless...

@Prayer Warrior Yes on the medical attention harm. My wife early on had some serious problems but she learned to self diagnose and still does a better job than some of our doctors, but when something is needed she is unable to prescribe. She had had more than one run in with doctors who really...

@Jane_Doe22 The wages of sin remains, death as per Rom 6:23. People may argue about what sin is or what it is not, but if we sin and do not repent the consequence always remains death. Jesus came and paid the price that no man could pay making it possible for any person to start with a clean...

Should we be worshipping Jesus the man or the One God? The One God was and is certainly IN Jesus, but is He not also working to be always IN you and IN me also? The difference between Jesus and us is the work in him is already finished while ours is not yet completed: "I have glorified thee on...

The Bible may contain perfection, but perfection has not come to any person until it is perfect and complete in him. Two people with the Holy Spirit still disagree at times because one or both them has not attained yet that "face to face" vision.

I agree with you Dave that Jesus is truth. But even Jesus is seen still as through a glass darkly. Even that supposedly great Apostle Paul admitted he was not seeing "face to face". Until we see him face to face how much of the truth are we seeing and understanding? I admit to my shortcoming...

The "clear" teaching of scripture? if it were clear, I certainly would not reject it. The only things I consider rejecting are the ones that seem to come from men rather than God. But those are often also not so clear so I have to put them up on a shelf until God says to reject them. For this...

Thank you for remembering. The treatment of soldiers returning from that duty was shameful. I try to be always Christ-like but to this day when I hear anything or read anything about Jane Fonda I have to grit my teeth and pray. I was not in a combat unit, but my signal company lost four men to...

While I hear you my friend, my father died from cancer six months after the first skin cancer was detected. They give some assurance that done with properly there is little or no risk with tatoos, but why take unnecessary risks? I have had two skins cancers removed myself. The first one was a...

Uncle Sam helped. While on active duty I went first to Viet Nam and later to the Dominican Republic. As a student I attended two semesters at the University in West Berlin. During the full year there I traveled through France to Spain as well to the Netherlands, England, Switzerland, Italy and...

I wish it did not need to be so, but I have to agree. We too often cannot trust even the parents and therefore even less so the schools. The parents are often too easy on their own children for fear of the civil authorities. That should not be but we have brought it on ourselves.
