If I see anything that God leads me to respond to I will certainly do so. I really do not look for errors in others for the purpose of correcting them. I try to stay on God's highway of holiness wherever it leads. I have missed my way altogether too often. What is wrong for me in a given...

Nothing wrong with "diving into the Bible". I do that also at times. But I also know that sometimes I have studied scripture with one goal or question in mind and did not get it, but sometimes I received the answer to another unrelated question. It may have been a question I had asked at another...

At least that, but you know of course that there are people who disagree with you. Some of them are on this forum. But give God the glory in any case!

All of us who are His sheep hear Him. What we hear if what applies to us as the part of the Body of Christ that we are. Are you asking me to teach you? The starting place is always in the "lowest room". Anyone who starts higher than that may find himself back at the beginning in any case...

I believe that you misunderstand what the verse is saying. It is saying to study NOT to obtain answers but to show ourselves approved unto God. To me that means to study out of obedience. I do study in order to be obedient. Understanding when and if it is received does not come from the study...

I gave you honest answers to your very loaded questions. I am led by the Holy Spirit. Sometimes God speaks the answers to my heart and sometimes He does not. To do otherwise would to disregard God. Could you do that and remain true to God? You apparently misunderstood what I said. God knows...

You ask loaded questions and expect a straight answer? What is it you would like me to do to the doctor?

Much study of the scriptures, all of them, without the quickening of the Holy Spirit will still only result in a "weariness of the flesh" [ Ecc 12:12 ]. Have you never met an atheist who was also a Bible student?

Should I? Have you? While I am still growing, I have been listening to His voice, but have not heard what you are saying. Could it be that I am a different part of the Body of Christ than you are? I guess maybe I need to await further instructions on that from the Head.

Do you think I need to know the answer to your question? God tells me what He knows that I need to know. Are you not one of His sheep? "But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by...

Even if it is a real situation, it is not my job to condemn that doctor. I don't read a lot of news as too much of it is bad. I still don't know the doctor's heart. How much about the 2000 year history do I need to know to please God? Naïve in the ways of the world I often am, as to the...

You should in any case speak, if you can, in a language that people understand. "Christians" often speak in a language with which you are familiar, but you may have to use special words which require additional interpretation. For some it will all be Greek to them anyway and they certainly do...

And understand also the parables contained in the OT. I would slow down the emphasis on what is wrong and increase the emphasis on what is right. But that is me. What is right? You seem to have a handle on what you believe it to be. My handle is more on simply eating his flesh and drinking his...

As Pontius Pilate asked, "What is truth"? The answer of course as many church goers may know is "Jesus". The problem for some is they don't know much of anything about who Jesus is so their answer remains empty. What is real humility before God? Even those who may have found it sometimes have...

People work in this way regularly by taking Bible verses or doctrines or traditions of men and trying to model their lives on those things. The Bible alone as I see is dead, but it is the "flesh" of Jesus. When it is consumed and quickened by the Holy Spirit then it is the Word of God... The...

Your thought went to the same place as my own when I asked the question. My answer was the same, but I remain open to a better understanding.

I understand how you search and find things. You know that I do it differently, which is not to say that either of us is wrong. We are simply different. God made all of us different even though we may have some things in common. While I do at times make use of sources other than the Bible I am...

You have not heard them all. Certainly all of them are not represented on this forum for the number of variations outside the forum are in the thousands. I have in the past made an effort to visit some and while some of them are really quite dead as I see it, others have manifested different...

I gave you a "like" not because I necessarily agree with every point but because you readily set out what you believe and why. Thank you for that. "Our gifts is our ministry". That statement is at least thought provoking. Do I agree? I agree that the Body of Christ consists of many members...

Also remembering Philip Lee in prayer!
