I was not thinking of Esau but of the children of Israel: "Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; Surely they shall not see the land which I sware...

If I were unable to give you an answer according to scripture you might be correct, but I can. That does not make me right. It simply makes it a possibility as I see it. Men have taken God's very good creation and using the possibilities allowed have introduced sin. Can they not also introduce...

@Brock Praying for your brother!

@KrystalForChrist Welcome to the forum. Thank you for sharing your testimony with us. Hopefully you will find additional encouragement here.

When a person is fasting from food, it is certainly not a fast from the flesh and blood of Jesus, is it? It may be such a physical fast from meat and potatoes, and such, but more importantly, should it not be a fast from everything we consume other than the flesh and blood of Jesus? Consider...

The emptying is of the ways of men which while they remain in us we will want to follow them. Many of them are bad habits we have learned over the years. They don't simply go away, but in order to overcome as Jesus overcame, we must get rid not only of the sin, but of the ways which led us to...

Hmmm... To me these verses seem to fit: When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest...

Nonetheless I could still see that as a possibility on the one hand with sinlessness on the other. Where will most people be at the end? Your conclusion sounds good in a way, but it seems to me more of a human story than God's. God knows.

Believe me when I say that it must be a very regular thing. Even once daily is not often enough. Daniel prayed before God three times a day, but I suspect he communicated with God more often than that: "Pray without ceasing." I Thess 5:17 "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice."...

Oh yes, I remember it well. It was sung regularly in the first Pentecostal assembly I attended beginning in 1976. I haven't heard it in years, but the melody still comes immediately to mind: [Chorus:] Soon and very soon We are going to see the King Soon and very soon We are going to see...

@mjrhealth It is not an easy road unless we turn it all over to God. If we can it is a very easy Way indeed. Most believers fall short on turning it all over all of the time. That's me too, but hopefully with God's help I am getting better!

He is always right. We are always wrong when we are trying to follow God with our head alone or even with the Bible alone and without the leading of the Holy Spirit. We very often do not see our own hearts clearly and miss some things for which we would need to repent if and when we became...

Oh yes! It is what you have spoken here as Neheshtan, I believe. There was power invested in a look at the bronze snake on the pole at that particular time and that particular place, but people made it into their own tower of Babel... their own way to the heaven where God dwells, but it was not...

We are His Church! However, when a person hungry and thirsty for righteousness heard and/or saw the witness of a man filled with the Holy Spirit, we might say that it was a part of the Church sent by God to him to fill that need [ Matt 5:6 ]. Now, also we, being a part of the Church, may be...

Secret and special operation of the Holy Spirit equals mysteries? Mysteries to whom and to whom are they revealed? What does Jesus say? "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the...

If it were only the ones who had never known anything about God... but the worst ones are usually, or always, those who have had a taste of the real thing... those who turned away from instead of turning toward God.

Also praying for you!

When I was in high school I read novels in all of my classes unless or until caught by the teacher. Now I read scripture or things related to scripture and biographies and dabble in other subjects occasionally. I still occasionally try to read novels, but rarely am I able to finish one anymore...

I was never into anything much other than stamps. As a kid they were on nearly all of the mail and there was no such thing as E-mail, cell phones and Internet. My family saved stamps off the envelopes received for me. My mother took up antique collecting late in life, but she took it very...

I would have passed my collection on to family if there were even one person who was interested. I started collections for my son and my daughter when they were young. Neither of them stayed with it. There is no one else. Every time I found an interested younger collector I always gave them...
