It is not a point I can discuss further with you twinc. You are in great part still stuck in the rut made by Catholicism. I was in it too long myself not to appreciate how deep it is and how hard it is to come out of... I will be praying for you. Only God gives anyone the increase that is needed.

The word, holy, simply means set apart. The one that sets something or someone apart is God. When a person obeys God that could the beginning of becoming holy as God counts holy.

I believe that you have missed the point of @bbyrd009 using Nehushtan. Initially the bronze serpent had a positive purpose according to God to heal those bitten by snakes, but people changed that purpose when they began to worship it. People now worship the wrong thing with the wrong purpose...

Very good!

Believe it or they are not confined to Appalachia. We have some in Oklahoma as well.

Unfortunately it continues to fit and yet most people who don't know what it means probably make little or even no effort to find out.

You really may be surprised if you stick around a while.

And what was they called Jesus? "And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself." Mark 3:21

His Church consists of people, twinc. When they have the living Word in them and it comes out of their mouth it is still clear only to those with "ears to hear". Many in the crowds did not understand the Word of God even when Jesus Himself spoke it to them it was not give to them to hear. So it...

I am not forgetting what the verse says, twinc. I have not stopped walking with Jesus. I do still gather with others in His name.

We agree, twinc, because I agree with what those verses say to me, but don't tell any person that he is not on the right wavelength and/or radar unless you know. If the Lord has not told you or if you do not recognize His voice speaking through them, is it not best to be careful and leave final...

I am afraid I must disagree with you twinc as per my own personal experience. The two or three relates to any 2 or 3 persons who come together "in his name". Lots of people meet together in "church" groups, Catholic and Protestant and other for mass or services but if not even 2 or 3 in the...

If you disagree with me twinc, why don't you support the reason why? You say it is by their fruits they are recognized, but you avoided saying how a person tells the difference between good fruit and bad fruit. People mix up the two why? As to hearing from God, why would I not hear from Him? I...

But where two or three are in His Name, there is Jesus, whether Peter is present or not: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matt 18:20 So then an important things to understand would be, What does it mean to be "in his name" and how do...

What is time to God, twinc? Has God ever changed? Has God changed the ways that He speaks to men? Has He stopped speaking to men? Why would you believe that a Father would stop speaking to His children that He loves? Sometimes for someone's own God may refrain from "speaking", but is also an...

Yes... But, still, the apostle Paul speaks of seeing through a glass darkly until our vision is a face to face vision. This is growth in vision and/or in knowledge, is it not? Pilate asks Jesus what is truth, but who among us knows all of the truth which Jesus is? The Light is growing brighter...

Yes, by their fruits they are to be known to those with eyes to see, but how many are really able to recognize the fruits when they are manifested or show that they appreciated that which is correctly [according to God] manifested?

All men have at times been devils in the way they think and in the way they behave. Jesus died for them as well... even though not all of them will have properly acknowledged what He did.

Amen to that!

You mean, of course, staying close to God. Of course God is everywhere, so if there is a gap in communication between one of us and Him, the problem is never on His side. I would say it is where the "new man" is, but actually it is wherever God says that it is. Well I work on surrendering...
