    NT BOOKS, LUKE 21:36

    I really try not [not always successfully, I guess] to point an accusatory finger at people on the other side of such questions. Some people really do not understand the question. Logic itself for some is the problem. On the one hand some people cannot really understanding what it means to be...

    NT BOOKS, LUKE 21:36

    No, usually it is these same people who will deny that anyone can stop sinning and be "perfect" even though they say that they have God in them. They effectively say that even God in them cannot do it while they are in the flesh. But... who is it they are calling liars then? Not you or me but...

    Is Remarriage after Divorce, Adultery?

    The laws are different for different jurisdictions. Even though a legal common law may not have been established, some states and provinces still have statutes in places providing regarding some legal rights for the surviving member of such a relationship. In state cases inheritance is usually...

    Is Remarriage after Divorce, Adultery?

    I do know what I am talking about with regard to marriage law as it related to Social Security which whenever possible was based on the state law of the state where the couple lived. I made common law marriage decisions for Social Security for many years. We had copies of all the state marriage...

    I am excited....

    Throughout the OT we see the people repeatedly going their own way instead of God's Way. The rejection of God seems to have been the usual instead of the unusual. Today so many would say that since Jesus it has been better without having a clue as why it really could or should be better. Is it...

    Or even Jesus! He certainly protested against the system established supposedly in accord with the laws God gave to Moses.

    Is Remarriage after Divorce, Adultery?

    If we are His sheep then we hear His voice and obey Him: "To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And...

    Is Remarriage after Divorce, Adultery?

    When I retired from the Social Security Administration a legal common law marriage could only be established in two states. One of them was Texas. I forget the other one. However, every one of the 50 states recognized as legal any marriage legally established in any one of the other 49 states...

    Is Remarriage after Divorce, Adultery?

    Good! Compared to @"ByGrace" ours is also seemingly short. We just passed our 46th anniversary. But... I know that there are many these days who cannot make it primarily because they are more interested in their own desires than in pleasing God. For a marriage to work and last in God requires...

    Is Remarriage after Divorce, Adultery?

    While the following verses are definitely OT, they also definitely speak to us of the mind of God. Has His mind ever changed? "For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand...

    Pray without Ceasing

    @Mayflower and so forth... Not lining up here according to the list, but I am praying all of you with emphasis on the special requests detailed by some. Help them all Lord to walk in physical health as well as to be moving in Your Spirit. Remember my wife. Her bronchitis continues to hang on...

    Childhood Friend Assigned to be a Witch - Seeing Demons in the Spirit Realm

    Without a doubt. I have started to listen to more than one by our new member, Alert, but have not finished even one.

    Calvinism?

    I will answer your simple question with a simple "yes". A person always has the ability to say, 'no thank you' to God and to the good things of God. It gets complicated for people because they often or even usually don't know what such an answer really means. People like too well many of the...

    Who Started That Lie?

    God's time: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" Ecc 3:1 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak" Ecc 3:7

    Who Started That Lie?

    "For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body." James 3:2 Who among us today never offends in word? If we do, are we condemned? "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give...

    What's the Weather Like in your part of the world Right Now?

    You mean zero Celsius not Fahrenheit, right? Zero Celsius is the freezing point of water. The freezing point of water in Fahrenheit is plus 32. Zero Fahrenheit would equal about -17.777 Celsius.

    Against all odds

    Is that not what I said? But in loving Jesus don't forget the danger our friend @bbyrd009 warned us about with Nehushtan. Loving Jesus means more than just mouthing the words, "I love Jesus".

    Against all odds

    There is only one truth,, which is Jesus or the Word? But what man of us knows all of it completely and correctly? What did John the Baptist mean here? "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30 Was he not speaking of the same "new man" and "old man" the apostle Paul mentions here...
