@APAK Have a fruitful and blessed journey my friend and we'll we see you when you return.

My apologies. Sorry if I did not speak previously on the other side if I should have. God is still working on me too, which means sometimes I miss the mark or make mistakes. My words to you addressed only your words. I had not read all that everyone had written before on the thread. I knew...

Also praying for George!

I agree. I see a mention of this here: "That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." John 1:9 [This is not every born again man, but every man born to woman.] This "light" is that which every man born to woman has. It is not light to see "face to face" but...

The verse may refer to Jesus, but neither the verse alone nor the written page is Jesus.

This is the way of men, the way of man's carnality. Jesus brought us a better Way, but we need to take hold of it and let it take hold of us. We need to be cleansed of the garbage and refilled with the good things of God. This is not usually done in a one stop only journey. We may need to...

I wonder what it is that instigates a person to come to that Love which comes from God alone at the first? The following verse indicates that God gets the ball rolling: "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:44 So...

Then perhaps Christianity is something not to be sought. I would suggest that when you make a statement you let people know what you mean. Should we not be pursuing first His Kingdom and His righteousness and when we do then God will be adding to us everything else that He deems necessary?

@APAK Not bad, but, yes, I say, BUT, the thing that is needed to join or be joined therein lies in that Love of which you speak. Where or how does a person get such Love? Where or how does a person join or have himself joined to this fraternity of true believers? We know, or I guess we should...

Try going to Him with nothing in your hands or in your heart and simply really ask Him to help you get where He wants you to be.

This is a careless uninformed statement on your part.... unless God gave you a personal revelation about the hearts of the ones you are talking to here...? You would probably say that you love the truth, but how well do you know this truth that you love? All of us who have not yet arrived at...

Why would you suppose then men that your best course is to back away from God rather than to move toward and to embrace Him? If He is God, is He not able in every situation?

No disrespect seen by me as a former soldier . Consider that this place, this forum, is probably one of the better places in my own experience among Christian forums. That is not much of a compliment to the place or to mankind as a whole, is it? But, God does have a plan and it is progressing...

And how is it you know that this conscience that talks to you is not God on the one hand or some evil spirit on the other hand?

So then again the question others have asked: Why are you here? We certainly are not all in agreement here on everything, but most of us believe in God and He does talk to all of us and many of us hear His voice. If you don't want to hear from Him...? We are certainly not going to criticize...

Either in cricket or baseball it got by me, but then I never was much of a hitter. Now I am no longer an observer, much less a follower, any more. I guess the world of men keep moving along their own established pathways. Polishing the ball or spitting on it is not likely to change much of...

My friend if ever you saw the Way then what you are saying indicates that you have certainly now lost it. How can you or anyone be a follower of Christ, [a Christian if you want to use the word], without having faith in a God you cannot see with the physical and without talking to Him? This...

Sounds to me something like a 'spitball' in baseball.

That could be a lot to give up... considering as well the double dip Sundaes covered with nuts and cherries and hot fudge [not even thinking about the lobster]. If we were even at only 10% but steadily growing toward God it might not be so bad, but if we are only at 1% and struggling to take...

What Solomon asked for was a good thing according to God and as a result God gave him what he asked plus other tblessings in his natural life as well: "And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor...
