I don't want to push on you my beliefs which are quite bit away from yours. But I will give you a taste to see if you are hungry and thirsty fpr righteousness or for something else. That which rightly divides the truth is the Holy Ghost in us. It is not rightly divided in some because instead...

It is a matter of going back to the lowest room again. No one wants to do that even though this parable certainly speak to me loud and clear of the necessity to do so: "When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden...

@"ByGrace" Unfortunately the problem is too of us on every side of every issue put too much stock in our own doctrines or beliefs or churches and not enough in the love/charity which is needed or even in the two greatest commandments set forth by Jesus. Even if we are right in doctrine or...

And who was it that decided these rules you have set before us? You say I have written nothing that proves anything. My proof is what God has written on my heart. The only proof of truth that any of us have has come to of us from God. You do not even use the scriptures to prove your point...

Give God the glory for all that is Good!

Rebellion against God is certainly never the answer, but if a man says that he is speaking as an oracle of God should we without reservation simply jump right on his band wagon and rejoice in the Lord for that man?

Yes, we have the entire Bible and with it we have formed apparently more than 40,000 thousand different denominations with often conflicting beliefs or doctrines. As to disciples, what are they? Are they not followers, learners and/or pupils of Jesus? As to Israelites? Who are they? Are they...

And you will also teach God what speaking in tongues is and what it is not? Consider Job's position before he was set straight by God. We cannot get understanding of God's message to us in the scriptures by study alone: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in...

You'll not get a definite yea or a nay from me on this one. I don't know and I must leave it at that regarding the OT people. I do however believe that God is always fair and never a respecter of persons. When people are deceived it is I believe because they do not love the Truth. This would...

When it comes to vision, in the Spirit our vision needs to be improving. But, cannot a person's vision get worse as he wearies of well doing? In the flesh there is what man names macular degeneration. Is there not a corresponding problem in the spirit that causes a man to go blind spiritually...

While time for us is a factor, it is not necessarily the final or deciding factor, is it? Someone striving to serve God over a long life, as men define long, [e.g. 90 years] may be more likely to be a sheep in the Lord's flock at the end, but it is still only as we can understand that it is only...

@Alison_P Praying that God will help you overcome your difficulties.

Yes indeed! God spoke through a donkey. He also spoke through Balaam and through the High Priest who conspired with others to have Jesus killed. God spoke through the unnamed prophet [I Kings 13] who was sent out of Judah to Jeroboam the king of the northern 10 tribes and then he disobeyed God...

@Wendy Harris Welcome to the forum!

Are there not any round squares? For this to be true without a doubt would we not have to assume that our eyes could be trusted to tell our brain the truth and that our brain could and would correctly be able to analyze what was supposedly perceived and draw correct conclusions. Similarly how...

Well brightness would only count only if it meant that a person has the Light in them that Jesus brought to us. If it were speaking about someone who has a high IQ it would mean that God expects more of him in that respect that he would of a person with a low IQ. God knows what each of us has...

@lforrest In the flesh I am getting up there. I retired from secular employment in the year 2000, but the work for God continues while I draw breath. Give God the glory!

Amadeus is Latin for "love God", while my real given name, John, means "Jehovah is a gracious giver"

"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jerem 10:23 "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding...
