I think I understand your position even though I do not agree with it. I will not wade into the details with you again at the moment. Simply let us allow God to give the increase as He surely will when it is appropriate according to Him.

Yes, we see too often in people claiming to be followers of Jesus condemning others rather than loving them... but they will often argue that is what love should be. I would wonder how far off a person can get into delusion... for that would be what it is, as I see it. Have I ever been guilty...

Indeed, how well are we using what God has provided? Much is given and much then is required!

Many are so wrapped up in their own ways, they cannot tell the difference between what they call love and what God is. This is seldom the problem in my experience with real unbelievers who simply have not known God at all, but rather with those who have walked right into delusion because they...

Yes, even some that frequently stand on my side on other things will at least refrain from comment when and if it comes up against the OSAS of which they are so certain. I don't claim to be right on this point of the 2nd death, but no one has given me a response showing something that fits...

On this point we are not so far apart except that I have mostly unanswerable questions. I have my own ideas about being born again and the Holy Spirit that many people probably would not like or would at least question. That is a presumption by me since I don't know the minds and hearts of most...

"Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2

Several times over the years I have done this with a major reduction first resulting in a major increase, but then as you have said in your last sentence above: "And I do so every day now". This must always be our daily restart from the bottom and at the end of the day if we have been faithfully...

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into...

I hear you I guess. A "believer" will die in his sleep but if he has lost his love of truth then it is all a delusion, is it not? His comfort is in the things of the flesh or in Nehushtan which he is certain is THE Christ. His comfort in the flesh is comfortless. Where for him can the love of...

It was simply a thought that came to me a long time ago as I was reading the scriptures. I have heard explanations as to why it was wrong before, but no really satisfactory explanation as to what is really right. Clue me in if you can. I am not arguing but asking. Thanks for your...

If you or me or anyone can so negate it in someone else's view we should wonder perhaps where they came up with such a tenuous view? We must have a vision so as not to perish, but neither can we stand still with our vision while we have time remaining to us. To do so is to become stagnate, is it...

This is the vision as it is on the approach to the face to face.

I remember my own worst times up until the early 1990's believing that if only I could study the Bible enough I would be just like Jesus was... except I usually wanted to follow after Enoch. Then I backslid for about 10 years and coming back realized how little I knew and received just a clue of...

What is difficult to understand or believe at times is how so many people calling themselves Protestant can so strongly reject Catholicism when their own doctrines and beliefs and traditions run so close still in so many places to that which Catholicism does still teach. Perhaps the Mormons have...

Actually we all were dead already from birth to our natural mother. Adam and Eve died when they disobeyed God. Thus all of their offspring were born dead. Dead people cannot bear live children. Jesus confirms what people are without what he brought: "And another of his disciples said unto him...

How did anyone in the OT, such as the true prophets of God, get anything right without being led by the Holy Spirit. Were they led by the Holy Spirit without being filled with the Holy Spirit? Consider what David wrote here about a thousand years before the pouring out of the Holy Spirit as per...

No, it is trusting in the power of God in us because the Holy Spirit is in us. No more details here as we have gone through all of this before. We simply are not on the same page.

Actually what God did was provide each of us an opportunity to do right that which Adam and Eve did wrong in the beginning. They could have made the right choice, but by choosing wrong, they laid death upon all of their offspring. Jesus then came and brought to us the opportunity for the lost...

But every person does have his own little self contained world. Jesus overcame his and each of us in order to eat of the Tree of Life must overcome theirs. With the sacrifice of Jesus and the outpouring of the Holy Ghost it became a possibility... but most will choose to remain in deception even...
