I have not a clue. I was there very early. Half through my tour, the very first contingent of US combat troops hit the beach in Danang where I was stationed. Most of those troops I would guess came by sea rather than by air.

Yes, the return trip was quiet with pretty stewardesses waiting on us. The greeting in California wearing my full dress US Army uniform was not so pleasant. I had no idea how strong the opposition to the war was becoming. It was unfortunate that the soldiers who simply doing what they considered...

But if only those who have overcome may eat of the Tree of Life would this mean that all who have not yet completely overcome belong to satan? "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in...

Continental Airlines flew me right to Saigon from California in 1964. I had 12 months in Viet Nam all expenses paid including the round trip flight. Is this a good recommendation?

But what if it is not true? There is scriptural support for that as well, is there not?

Do we want to visit Christendom, whatever that is, or do we want to visit God? I am not saying there is nothing ever worthwhile to learn from such visits to churches and their established doctrines or creeds , but is there not a better way and/or a better place to encounter truth? What do we...

We may not agree exactly on every point but that could simply be because one or both of us is wrong on some points. This is likely, but I am seemingly not so far from you along much of the journey. I believe that you do not espouse the unyielding idea of once saved always saved and for that I am...

I see no sharp easily discerned lines between this faithful one and that one. Consider the ark that saved living creatures from the flood. There were unclean beasts and there were clean beasts and there were people... all three varieties saved from the flood. But even of the only 8 people who...

@Episkopos I would not have so divided them but neither can I make a definite judgment against. I have not read the entire thread carefully but will go from what I have quoted here. There is certainly a lot of confusion with the word, "saved" and the way different people use it. What does...

It is certainly like other places I have been or observed. The question I ask is what does God want me to conclude?

Actually the way you describe where you stand and travel is similar to how I might describe where I stand and travel even though apparently on a number of things we are separated.

The world is what each of is in and of himself. It was what Jesus overcame. He made it possible through his sacrifice and the Holy Ghost for each of us to do the same. A person must overcome the world in order to eat of the tree of Life... This world is not equal to planet Earth, the one...

I was baptized Catholic at 6 years old and attended mass regularly with my older brother. He stopped when he started high school never to return. I remained of my whole family devout and faithful as an altar boy all through high school then I also finally stopped never to return although I tried...

Christodelphians are strong Bible scholars. Several years ago I belonged to a Christodelphian forum and learned a lot from them. I could never be one because even then I was a tongue talker and they don't accept that. I remember that initially they did not even have a formal name, but Uncle Sam...

If you do espouse a Trinity of the One God how can you not also espouse an eventual Multiplicity of God based on the prayer of Jesus in John 17:20-23?

Hello Helen, What is it you need a boost against the Trinity or for salvation in spite of the Trinity or perhaps a boost in favor of Oneness? There is only One God and scripture does make that clear... hopefully to everyone here. The Trinitarians apparently however want to say that the One God...

No Irish or Italian in me. My father was probably mostly Germanic and my mother was likely mostly native American. My family was Protestant Pentecostal when I was born in Oklahoma. My mother divorced my father in Oklahoma during WWII, moved to California and married a Portugee who knew nothing...

By solid you mean that which men kept and continued and built upon. Did they not do the same thing with what God gave to Moses for centuries? What was it that Jesus found when he came on the scene? You want to consider history and man's ability to keep things right you need to consider more than...

You are still looking to man's history instead of to God. Man's history is necessarily flawed because man himself is flawed. The only way to truth then and now is via the Holy Ghost. We must be led by God to the correct conclusions in order to grow closer to Him. If we do not grow, we will...

Call it that perhaps, but it would certainly apply to me. I would not have listened to today's me because when I was that young I thought I knew more than all those old people. Eventually I discovered I was wrong, but even then I still walked on in my darkness not knowing where the Light was...
