I really see the delusion from God [II Thess 2:11] as being a key to understanding why so many are deceived. The delusion comes from not loving truth. What is seldom understood is that we need to love truth even when we do not understand what truth is. In the beginning of our walk with God none...

I don't doubt it, but "logic" itself according to most men's definition may be the problem. It is like the scientific method I learned about in school. We nearly [or, always] start with certain assumptions and then we build on that presumed platform. If what we presume turn out to in error, the...

I remember reading about Thomas Jefferson who really wanted to have slavery abolished, get rid of slavery, but he was too dependent on it himself to even begin by freeing his own slaves. He understood that it was a problem in himself but could never begin the process. Others did not even...

People can read and not understand even as they can hear and not understand. Some presume that because they have drawn what seems to them to be logical conclusion it must be correct. God really is not bound by logic, although He is certainly not illogical. How do we understand God?

I have gotten to where I read less and less of the lengthy threads where people go back and forth on the same issues, whether I agree with one side or not. When I get tired focusing to read is something I simply avoid. I do get tired easily. My wife bought me a new piano keyboard Saturday to...

God is directing all of those who are to be in the Body of Christ. Within that direction there are differences because people are different parts of the Body with different functions. However, there many who go their own way because of its personal appeal to them [selfishness] rather than...

Taking that road may be OK for those on milk, but when a person moves from milk to meat, he really must hear the Lord's voice and follow it rather following his own plan to help God out. To remain on milk when we should be on meat could be a dangerous place.

Give God the glory, indeed!

My point, of course, was your use of the word, "want". The whole of mankind has long been seeking what they "want". This is the selfish way in which all who are born to their natural mothers... except Jesus. He was not selfish but selfless putting always others first before himself. The "wants"...

@Heart2Soul "But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee." Psalm 5:11 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto...

Sometimes my friend I believe your way is quite clear. You pull no punches but many are so far removed they do not have a clue as to what you are talking about. I would guess that when you do have God's message for some there is simply no interpreter. What is it that apostle Paul wrote on this...

Why would this be true when we consider these words of the prophet? "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

Yes, it is often the norm for me. Usually I have no definite time schedule, but when I do the old body will eventually let me know when it needs some rest. That may not come for two or three more nights but eventually I will sleep. People will say it an easy thing to go take a nap during the...

Our God is able in all situations. We must trust Him even when we seemingly lose what we have in the material world. Sometimes however as we see God blesses us beyond measure. We are blessed yet what was that the man Jesus retained? And how was it that he prayed? "And he went a little further...

@Prayer Warrior Praying!

That's the time I woke up this morning. I got up and read and talked to the Lord as I often during such times. Then after a couple of hours I went back to bed and slept some more. My wife slept through it all.

No need to argue the point as I have said. We do disagree but I really do not insist that the way I see it must be the only way we all should see it. However, I do suggest that you read John chapter 17 carefully with regard to Jesus prayer for you and for me.. especially these verses: "That...

Why do we need any such absolute explanation? In the mind of a man perhaps this hypostatic thing is an option, but why do we presume God must fit into the limited box of a man? Your first verse [John 5:18] does not say he is equal to God. Rather it says that he said that God was his Father...

@justbyfaith @bbyrd009 I am not sure why you wanted me here. I may need some help. I skimmed through most posts but I still only guessing at the question or the misunderstanding or...? Are we speaking of this "hypostatic union" and the trinity? That word I only learned since I started visited...

Praying for this situation!
