    Pastimes, what are yours?

    Attached is one page from one of the many books I have out on the circuit for sale. The club that circulates them for me takes 20% off the top plus it is rare that more than 20% of stamps offered are sold at all. They usually stay on the circuit for sale about 2 years. The problem is the number...

    Pastimes, what are yours?

    Mine for most of my life was collecting postage stamps. It did along the way get me in trouble with God but that is a testimony in itself which I won't detail here. Now for several years I work with my stamps only once in a while preparing books to sell them. I have sold many thousands and I do...

    An Unknown Tongue

    Again, if you are in error and in fact fight against God Himself based on man's thoughts and man's studies and man's conclusions, consider then what it is you have done. You ask , what loss to shun vain and profane babbling and to pray normally in secret? You have decided that it is vain...

    An Unknown Tongue

    @JesusIsFaithful On each point you have an answer, as if all the answers were set in concrete according to the interpretations that you follow. I do have an answer for every answer that you have provided, but I won't bother to detail an answer for you because you have decided that you are...

    Why I Do Not Want To Pledge Allegiance Nor Swear In Court Nor Commitment To Him

    But without regard the type of oath or even no oath you are telling the court, the judge and jury, that when you speak you will be speaking the truth as you know it. Under man's law there is such a thing as perjury. If after agreeing to speak the truth, you intentionally lie, that also has a...

    An Unknown Tongue

    I am afraid that you are correct, but I always hope that a bit a Light will shine through the carefully built and almost impenetrable wall that prevents God from speaking to a man. Men's church institutions have programed the real Holy Ghost out of the ways of most of their members. It is the...

    Heaven

    @JesusIsFaithful Thank you for your viewpoint on these things. I have heard a lot of what have written on this from others, but have not found it myself nor had it shown to me by the Holy Ghost. I am not saying you're are wrong or even that I disagree. I am saying that it is not within my...

    An Unknown Tongue

    Just so! Things are proved by the Word of God in us. Attacking a person because we disagree is wrong even if our point is otherwise correct. There is a time to remain silent. Every day when I come before the Lord I go to the lowest room as if I had nothing as if a I knew nothing. This...

    Heaven

    Perhaps it is simply a place in you and in me so that He will have a place to lay His head: "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." Luke 17:21 "And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the...

    An Unknown Tongue

    @JesusIsFaithful I thought I was finished talking to you, but God says differently so here I am again. You certainly seem to love God, but you really don't, [as I see it] know as much as you think you do. The answer I found that works for me I believe would work for you and for anyone else...

    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    Just keep on chuckling, and give God the glory!

    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    You like to put words in people's mouths and then run them down without having a clue what they know or believe. God knows and what or who else matter if I am on His side. Again you're putting words into my mouth and drawing your conclusions without knowledge. God knows the Truth and those...

    And what if all of what man has found and proclaims through his five senses and his mental calculations is the fiction, while the reality is discernable only by any with the "eyes to see" and the "ears to hear" of which Jesus speaks? We can then forget about being beamed up or down (yes poor...

    An Unknown Tongue

    We're apart on this in such a way that I'll not explain further. You're already convinced you're right with no possibility of another way being right, so why should I make the effort? "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2 Give God the...

    An Unknown Tongue

    People have defined or have had someone define for them what it means to have the Spirit or to be led by the Spirit. Some of them are in error on this but it really would take God to change their minds and even He will not force a change. Only someone who comes to Him with a really open heart...

    Built On The Wrong Apostle

    Is not the context of that a real situation versus a hypothetical one? How would I know which of the three was the most authoritative unless God told me? Even if you had named men who had lived and I had read all of their reasons for their ways of believing, how could anyone but God know for...

    An Unknown Tongue

    Yes, God would certainly want us to know what we were praying, but how many of us can handle all of those things now? The thought in this respect that comes to my minds when it is time for someone to die that we cannot bear to lose. If we were to pray for the person to live on in the flesh would...

    An Unknown Tongue

    But this is part of the problem with looking only to the precise written words of scripture. Yes men added in the KJV the word "unknown" and others supposed shown in italics, but was God not also guiding the translating of the translators... even if they were NOT believers themselves? Drawing...
