I have quite often had the same trouble. People will put a label on me and I have to look it up to even get a clue as to what they are talking about. Oh... well...!

@101G Thanks for your efforts. I have read it twice and some of it fits what I already have. I have copied it onto my desktop for further review. We are probably already close on this. It is just that I have trouble simple explaining just where I am unless there is at the moment a God given...

They are already becoming a minority even though the census figures might say otherwise. The problem is that "Christianity" has already been redefined and the definition is continuing to change moving away from what Jesus is. Those who go with the changing definition will find themselves in...

Indeed! "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." I Cor 3:6-7

Does it take "nerve" to stand for what we believe or does it simply require trusting in God. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Prov 3:5-6 Formal debate sites may present some...

Yes, you are correct on each point, but people will disagree upon and argue about what "sin" is and what "repentance" is. I, of course, am sure I am right about this and that, but quite certainly most everyone else here, of course, also is sure that they are right about this and that.

Give God the glory my friend!

Thank for your kind words. No apology was needed, but I do none the less accept your good intentions. I have been criticized on this before more than once and each time I changed the way I did it to conform to someone's suggestion only to find that someone else had a problem with the way I did...

Yes, I was unable to express that precise idea, but it was what I did mean. Thank you for the clarification. Your testimony is like what happened to Peter in Acts 10 when he first went to the gentile, Cornelius. Peter did not understand why he was going, but he understood that God wanted him to...

And Jesus!

And may you also be blessed my friend! We will grow if we learn to lean on and surrender to Him.

I do, but then comes the question of what exactly one these is? The prophets, as I see it, are those who bring God's Word to others with or without predictions of future events. Apostles are more difficult. The word itself according to references means "he that is sent", but in the scripture...

Thank you my friend for your effort to clarify. My brain is quite sluggish so I am not understanding and God has not revealed it to me, but I am still waiting on Him. Don't give up on me and others. Our God is able.

Also joining in prayer!

What I see here in your statement and in the ways of many church groups and other individuals is a lot of "faith" in satan. The Bible certainly speaks to us of an adversary, but I try not to spend much time describing him or understanding him. Rather I hope to describe and understand God and...

I am not here to win arguments or even necessarily to get involved in them. I do not have answers to everyone's questions nor even answers to all of my own questions. I believe the central part of what we need to be and to be part of is found in I Corinthians 13 and in Matthew chapters 5 through...

@Heb 13:8 Who believes that what they believe is wrong? People may do things that they consider wrong, but each person does believe certain things to be true and more or less lives accordingly. If their ways are not God's Way are they not then in delusion? One certain way to get into delusion...

Lots of words, some good, and scriptures, but my own problem with "satan" has long been your final question: "he is an enemy but where and when did he originate?" Someone long ago concluded that satan was a separate entity/being now evil which originally being on God's side would have been...

Just keep up the good work sister!

Give God the glory!
