Amen! But... "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.\" Matt 6:33-34

@djstav Welcome to the forum, Chris!

But too many it seems to me are embezzlers!

"But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee." I Chron 29:14

Thank you for these words. Sometimes I have gone through the scriptures carefully searching, but never finding a particular thing that I thought I needed. Then when a real situation happened I had the right words in English or in tongues according to the situation. Sometimes people are...

Thank you for this simple explanation with the scriptural references. As I said before I do not deny such a coming, call it second or something else, but you're the first one here who very simply explained why you believe it. I will reconsider what I have said previously in light of your words...

No argument.

Yes, unfortunately this likely not at all unusual. Rather it is why there is hope of getting together in love. They may say they have things in common in their beliefs, but not enough to give up their "liberty". It might necessitate changing a "truth".

Yes, I agree in a sense that there is power in evil but I also believer that all power ultimately comes from God. God gave man power to do the wrong thing or the right thing. This goes back to the left hand of God versus the right hand. God has always from the foundation of it all for men had a...

Give God the glory always dear Sister in Christ!

To be sure, being sure is an unsure thing when it comes to relating our beliefs which really are from God to others who hold onto to something else. One problem of course is that sometimes we do not know that it is we who are holding onto that something else. I did check out your "return to me"...

The only thing to be afraid of is God when we are walking away from Him following our own lead instead of His. He knows our frailties better than we do. What He expects from us is surrender so that He can handle the situation in the best way for us. For God nothing is impossible if He is allowed...

@Enoch111 It is not? I cannot find a single specific instance of the simple phrase "second coming" in any of the several Bibles I searched. I know that people use the phrase in many places, but I still don't see it. What I see is a connection between all of the prepared parts of those to be in...

My superficial understanding of what you wrote seemingly puts us apart as it seems to be a key part of your explanation. I cannot accept the premise that OSAS [Once Saved Always Saved] is correct, so I we may be finished for moment as I won't discuss our differences on that point here. Thank...

Yes, but did Jesus return as promised by means of another Comforter, the Holy Ghost, on that day of Pentecost described in Acts 2? I do have all of the pieces to answer every question a person might ask me, but what is it that each of us needs? I use google at times, but what of the poor slob...

I cannot even say that it has or it has not all already happened. If it is all happening in each one of us then it has happened on an individual basis for those who have finished their course, but where then is the Bride and where then is the Body of Christ? Since there is still time for us and...

What is it that I am saying? People need to move toward or into God, no matter He is? Can we define Him completely? As to the evil having a correct definition, I am sure that it does, but do we need to know it? If we knew that your definition was absolutely correct, how would that help us to...

Unfortunately some of those have been some of ours. At one time they were our friends or our natural family or they are people who were seemingly without hope but in their wasted walks come to see how empty they are. In that seeing God sends them to you or to me to give them something that God...

I have been reading back and forth through some of the posts on this thread trying to understand what people are saying and/or believing, but only occasionally getting a little daylight. @ScottA has given me a flicker, but he's often too deep for me. I am also unsure of where you @bbyrd009 are...

I don't disapprove of men's philosophy unless it tends to confuse people about God. God really is effectively everywhere. When a person rejects God or does not believe in Him or acknowledge Him that person simply becomes completely blind to the things of God and may be used to accomplish the...
