We hear a lot from people about the many supposedly Christian denominations/churches these days, but consider: If we look to some of the initiators of some of those they really had a good thought from God to improve what the previous establishments had become. When those initiators with the good...

I am always praying for God's will to be done, but I really try not to ever tempt the Lord by presuming what it is.

I have been in Christ since 1976 and Jesus is the truth. Focusing too much on anything else, such as a particular doctrine would cause me to move out without Him. I cannot speak for you. Charity/love go with with Jesus. One thing I do know, not simply believe, is that we must continue to grow...

I agree that it seems to be getting worse, but which church group is not? I have found one that is "less worse", but it is also as a group, as I am able to see it, also diminishing before God. This however is admittedly my opinion. How good is my vision?

I may still at times say the words, 'I am saved', but rarely any more these days because people quickly jump to often erroneous conclusions about where I am. Read my post in your own new thread about denominations. My primary fear is of myself! When I am walking close to God there is no reason...

I truly don't have one, although in the past I have. I started as a Catholic. The only other one was the UPC [United Pentecostal Church] along with a couple of other Oneness Jesus Only groups which I left for the last time in 1987. Since then I have attended two different non-denominational...

The finality is the thing. One has been, is and is going to be. I agree with that but I also agree with the possibility of overcoming every thing that stands between us and God, prior to having the dirt thrown on our faces when our course is at its end. Is that also baffling? But... it is to be...

Just like that OK, but when we dig deeper we may disagree, but even that is OK, if God sees our heart and approves. Give God the glory!

God knows! If I need to know as well and I am faithful, will He not tell me? But then again I live by faith!

Even two people with the Holy Spirit in them may disagree on some things about God and the things of God as I understand it. If you don't agree with me on that point, there's not much use in me saying more. As to my English being hard to understand, I do not believe that is the problem here at...

Just, I believe another communication problem. I will try to clarify: Some people insist that they know God better than they probably do. I would say that this is likely true of all us to some extent. Remember how we are to come to Him... as a little child, but what does that mean? If we were...

You make it complex and I sometimes do the same thing. Ultimately it may be complex, but we do not have to understand all of the details of that which is complex in God in order to please Him and to serve Him. Jesus explains simply what we need to do: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are...

When and if you need to understand anyone, will not God give you the understanding? I really am working to be on your side so long as you are working to always be on God's side, for should that not always be our goals, yours and mine?

We receive what God gives us. I already have what He has given me, but some of it, or even all of it, is only for my use until, if and when, I inherit. Until I do, if I do not really own a thing. Who does, as it all belongs to God? "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we...

You are emphasizing a distinction as if every person must make it in order to serve God. I do not believe that. It is certainly not how I serve God. I work each day to love Him more to do more of what pleases Him. I read, I study, I pray. The only time this OSAS idea, one way or the other, even...

@Mayflower Also joining in prayer here!

No, we are not to depend upon ourselves but upon God. Is He not able to see us through everything? Is He not able to overcome in us every obstacle that stands between us and Him? "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are...

Oh no it was and is a done deal, but it is my testimony, which I have detailed many times in other places [possibly here as well]. It is not up for you or anyone to pick apart. That is not why I have it. Only God can change a person's conviction. We'll leave it just there! We do live for God by...

No, no game,but we do disagree! I know my own testimony of where I was and where I have been and where I am. Running away from God is possible. If we do and we never return to Him we are lost. I would never quit in order to prove your point, and any sincere believer would not. Some people do get...

The key to all as I see it is in who hold our reins? We do until and if we turn them over to the Lord. But this is not a one time handover of the control. Every time we get up on the horse's back we must take his reins into our hands and direct his steps. We are the horse. "O LORD, I know that...
