My connection with the nuns was in particular when they were in charge of the altar boys and when they were teaching catechism once a week or religious release. There were four of them and in this case they were always the kindest gentlest of persons. The thing about it is, I am not opposed to...

We hear this tale of the nuns and their rulers, but no nun ever struck me. My very Protestant first grade teacher in a public school struck the back of my hand with her wooden ruler more than once. I certainly was not her only victim. But 8 years later when I was among the elementary school...

And doctors to heal our infirmities instead of looking to God.

Indeed! "Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life." John 6:67-68

If we live so long there may be a good chance for it. It seems to be happening already outside the Western supposedly Christian world, and things are not exactly the same as they were when we were young. Of course LOL when I was young I doubt I understood what it would mean to die for my faith...

I know. I look in the mirror and still see that same little devil of yesteryear. LOL

If are sincerely seeking, I don't believe there is a risk of being rejected by God unless we were believing foolishly that God would forgive again and again no matter what. God knows our hearts. If we are looking away for moment, even sinning, God will not throw us to the dogs without an...

Each of us knows what we know and believes what we believe. What I believe is that people for the most part do not know the difference between what they really know about God and what they only believe. To be accurate and know that you are, you have to know on a given point rather than simply...

I understand the feeling, but I cannot play tennis anymore. I was certainly still playing when I was 40. I had probably stopped by 50 but even that was not due to a physically inability. Tennis was the only sport I was reasonably good at and so now it is the one that I really miss these days...

Although I have a stand with regard to the nature of God, I also see this two sided coin you mention. I see no real difference between the problems of the Jesus Only position and the Trinitarian position. I am unable to embrace either one of them even though I understand why some others do in...

I was born in December of 1943.

I am glad God has used you to show people things. He has also used me even though we both know we are quite different on several things. The end goal is or should be the same, but sometimes it is necessary to walk slightly different pathways to get there because of where we have been and where...

Probably then I am close to your age for some of those words remain with me as for example: Dominus Vobiscum. Et cum Spiritu tuo. There are likely others but those came immediately to mind when I read your post.

JW never, but I was an active member of different Oneness Jesus Only groups for 11 years ending in 1987. With them I learned to read the Bible for the first time in my life and many others things, but when I left I guess it was already overdue. God has moved me a long way since then. He is not...

Perhaps not. Hell itself is part of God's plan. What is it? If we look around this forum how many threads exist giving all of the details of what men say they believe about hell with definitions and explanations of all the words translated into the English word, hell? Men are intended by God...

No! They are probably worlds apart from me in many things, but who that is called a cult completely misses it all? Who that is called mainstream Christianity has it all? Does anyone here have all that God has for him as a man still in the flesh?

Keep on working at it my friend. When you need it will it not be given to you?

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." I Cor 2:9

"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." I John 3:9 Then again, who is "born of God" and when does that happen and when it does, what does it mean? Perhaps this also is a large part of that 'name it and claim...

And the flesh and its ways are dying. Final death will come to the flesh, but should we not be helping the fleshly ways of the lust of the eyes, the lust of flesh and the pride of life to begone even faster? As to outer space it may sound fun when described by some scientists or science fiction...
