Thank you! If it works one way or both ways and God is IN it, where else can I be? As to the preposition, in my German it is more clearly ON [AUF] whereas in my Spanish it is like English using a proposition [EN] that can be taken either or both ways. This is why we need to be listening to...

@Miss Hepburn I would say that it is important for us to have whatever God has for us whenever He has it. Yes, at times some believers may get distracted or so busy at worldly things that they act for the moment as if He is not even there. God knows our frailties and for a time He may wink at...

They most likely did not do so immediately for the same reason it was not given for so many to understand the parables of Jesus. What does it take for a person to become hungry and thirsty for the righteousness of God so that they may be filled? What does it take for a goat to become a sheep?

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." Matt 12:36 So then when we fail to say what Jesus said, are we speaking idle words or not? What words are idle according to God? "But let your communication be, Yea, yea...

I am including you in my prayers, Pia.

They never partook of the Tree, so likely they were not immortal, but I really hadn't considered in much in that light. I see them as dying immediately on eating of the wrong tree, but I have at least considered that prior to that eating they probably would have died naturally eventually if they...

And in our work should we not be saying what Jesus said? "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." John 9:4 It is quite refreshing when we encounter one without such a way of working. I haven't been refreshed like that much lately...

I see two likes given to you for that post. It seems that at least those two considered it.

I really don't understand your meaning. What does being sterile have to do with never dying? My point was they had not yet partaken of the Tree of Life: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of...

I would not be concerned about planet Earth at all. I don't have to "square" anything. I only have to follow Him. Will He not lead me if I am trusting in Him? As our own personal world of temptations is overcome by the Holy Spirit of God something new is growing, or is should be growing...

@Vasily Welcome to the forum! I am praying for your church building situation!

Yes, the one easily discernable good thing that they did not have prior to their disobedience was unending Life. God prevented them from obtaining that by removing them from the garden where the Tree of Life was also located. Now, we may not only regain that which Adam and Eve had and lost but...

A difference of one little preposition: Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done IN earth, as it is in heaven. Does the scripture clearly distinguish between being IN and being ON? The way I read it is God's will needs to be done IN me, the fleshly temple of Amadeus containing the new man...

And then even before he went to the cross, Jesus was no longer IN the world: "And now I am no more IN the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are." John 17:11 Even though...

Jesus of course had the mind of Christ, but He also had to overcome the world, the world of the temptations of his own very corruptible flesh. His flesh was corruptible, but as he never sinned, it was never corrupted. We therefore have in a sense a longer road to walk because when we came to...

What I see or understand is that as we partake of the flesh of Jesus [the dead written scripture] we provide something that the Holy Spirit can quicken as it is heard [eaten]. That is to say, it is brought to Life within us as God sees the need for it by the quickening of the Holy Spirit as we...

I believe he is referring to once popular song, but until just checking on it on the Internet I had not heard of her or the song.

@101G Thank you for your extensive words with regard to "Nazarene". I remember checking it out briefly years ago due chiefly to notes in Bible indicating that there was no OT reference other than possibly a connection with the vow of the Nazarite. I found nothing in particular and left it...

Your needle is stuck!

I pray that God will keep His hand on the man and bring him to a real faith in God.
