Even so as God is the translator/interpreter for messages given in "unknown" tongues by one believer and in the common language by another. Is our God not able?

Thank you for taking the time to explain yourself. I still believe that study is NOT the most important thing. The most important thing is Love or Charity as per I Cor 13 for without it nothing else, including knowledge gained through the study of the scriptures, is worth anything at all. As...

Which is not explaining anything at all unless I were to push which I won't. I understand how, in my experience, many Bible students study. So that's it then...

What you are saying is not in scripture at least not with regard to natural death for believing people today. The face to face will happen "then", but the verse you posted does not spell out the "when" of that "then" as being after natural death. The "then" of I Cor 13:12 will happen when, as I...

Probably it started quite a long time ago even though some things were not so obvious in the past. One thing not mentioned much although understood by some is the very definition of Christian and Christianity has been changing. They often do not remove the legal rights of the Christian or...

People have taken what is written and twisted it to their own ways since before Moses was even able to read the words to them the first time he came down the mountain with the stone tablets written by the finger of God. That was according to men's timing about 3500 years ago. They were twisting...

Even so! Give God the glory and let Him lead us!

Study is something we do with the scriptures, but it is not the means in and of itself by which we receive the truth. If that were so then the smartest most diligent students would be the most often saved and living for God. No one here, I believe, is discouraging study of the scriptures. The...

If this was supposed to address anything I posted, I missed it. Sorry!

Some people's perceptions are undoubtedly being manipulated with regard to the "face to face" and what it means, but what is it that you see or that I see or that @"ByGrace" sees? It is very important to be able to see for Solomon wrote: "Where there is no vision, the people perish: ..."...

Her @"ByGrace" reference I believe was to this place in scripture: "But seek ye first 1) the kingdom of God, and 2) his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient...

Isn't that what some people do?

But can everyone even hearing the ringing bells? It reminds me of elderly church goers who turn their hearing aids all the way down during an especially boring sermon. What, someone would actually do something like that? Perhaps it was a choice between that and falling asleep. Hmmm? [I have...

Not only the Revelation, but many parts of scripture are not understood or even misunderstood. You're a Bible reader so you already know this. So the listen to others as you apparently already do, but decide according to what God places in your heart. In another place you said that you cannot...

Is feeling God, be it the Father, the Son or the Holy Spirit, so important? Consider the man, Isaac with regard to knowing his first born son, Esau, by feeling him: "And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought...

You have covered and stated it very well. The denominational bickering and doctrinal comparisons will all come to nothing for us, if we fail to receive the message of God and apply it in our lives: "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity [love], I am become...

The Samaritans were apparently a mixture of the remnant of the poor descendants of Jacob not carried away by Assyrians and the miscellaneous non-Hebrew peoples settled into the land by the Assyrians. The newcomers did not know God and lions went in among them causing trouble. The Assyrians sent...

Everyone is effectively "born dead" to their natural mother. Adam and Eve died when they ate fruit of the wrong tree and were in that day then dead: "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Gen...

Ha! But I am older than you. On my birthday in December it will be 75. The old body however is definitely wearing out.

@pslane Welcome to the forum. We have at least one thing in common. I am also 74.
