Condemning? If you will read my post carefully you will see that I only asked questions and quoted one verse of scripture. How does that add up to condemnation?

Just keep on trusting in Him Helen. He will see you through until your time here is really finished.

Yes, this is the most important thing... to leave it really in His hands trusting Him always to keep us where He wants us to be. Each time it seems that a physical ailment of mine is about to depress me, my wife has a worse problem and I have to forget mine and help her with hers. Is this also a...

Well we all are still here. Ultimately we are still here because God still requires us to be for His reasons. We need to stay close to Him and follow always His lead we'll not go wrong in spite of our physical shortcomings or difficulties. They have checked my heart itself many times but still...

Give God the glory! He is not finished with you yet. I will keep you in my prayers. My heart problem is simpler but not fixed. The natural pace maker in my body doesn't work right not sending the right signals to my heart to slow down or speed up as needed. Sometimes my heart simply slows down...

Is this a judgment based on personal knowledge? Do you have a messenger from God speaking to you about who has and who does not have real conviction? "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." Matt 7:2 Was not our...

The line is difficult not to cross. It something that is in each of us and attracts us so that when followed it can become sin: "For all that is in the world, 1) the lust of the flesh, and 2) the lust of the eyes, and 3) the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." I John 2:16...

We had a little place several years ago out in the country with a little less than ½ an acre. I loved it and I loved working on it, but it was 15 miles out of town... too far for emergencies. My wife's chronically severe uncontrolled asthma and my own particular heart troubles required us to...

I do hear what you are saying and do not completely agree nor disagree. Sometimes we cannot express exactly where we are because of what God is working on in us. If we are continuously returning to the lowest place, each week, each day, each hour, each moment, and letting Him do the lifting of...

Still nothing new and no admission that you may have missed something. You say you have heard me, but your post tells me a different story. You are still saying that you are right and anyone who disagrees is necessarily wrong. That's the norm as every man believes he is right. Even if you were...

@prashanthd While I do not agree with you I do see and understand your point. I try not to reject anyone's way of believing or serving God out of hand even if it is different than mine and the conclusions drawn are different than mine. What I see is that both the Word and the Spirit are...

I believe that many things treated like facts and called facts are not facts at all. You may have noticed such usage of the word "fact(s)" on this forum. The only facts available really, as I see it, come with the "face to face" vision as per I Cor 13:12 when and if we receive it. I believe that...

@Taken I see some possible shades of difference from where I stand and what you are saying, but it may be more semantics than real differences. There is certainly a point a person can attain to where he is saved and will never go back, but he may not realize it when he has attained it. Of...

You are repeating yourself and, no, you have not heard what I said. It did not fit your pattern so it was water off a duck's back. It is not the general logic of man but it is the logic of Stranger and without it apparently no one can do a thing. Even God is bound by your rules as you put it. I...

I do agree that the sealing is by the Holy Spirit, but I do not agree that man ever lost his right to say, No, to God. He should not, but he does and when he does he gets into trouble with God. I believe is that God has provided man with means to become like God wants him to be but man must...

Indeed, once in a great while I will read lengthy posts, but most of the time I either skip them or only skim them. Since my retention abilities have diminished considerably with my aging flesh, it is not uncommon for me to have no idea what a given person has said in his lengthy writing.

Indeed as I see it the "sealed" is like the jars of fruits and vegetables my mother used to can. The seal protects the food so it'll be edible when it is opened for that purpose. Breaking the seal before it is time to eat it will cause the food to spoil and so become inedible. Once in a while...

Communication. It is not to someone who cannot hear it. Or looking at it more in your way, it is the Word of God, but to someone who is blind and deaf to it, it is still meaningless. Again if a person does not have "ears to hear" and "eyes to see" what difference will it make to him? Oh...

Indeed, anyone can work FOR God. Pharaoh in Egypt did that when Moses came asking to let His people go? But Moses was striving to work WITH God. It was hard for him, especially at the first, but he did succeed because he was willing and one thing that God wants from each of us is a willing heart.

All of us need to sift through what we hear from what we consider good sources before jumping to conclusions and embracing them as God's truth. How does one correctly sift? A sincere teacher of the things of God is a blessing to those who are listening to him, but unless that teacher is...
