    Thanatophobia 101

    I don't really much think about the "dying by the inches" pain you mention, but to be honest I would not be delighted to have to die that way. The idea of death itself doesn't faze me one way or the other except as it relates to others who might be hurt by my passing. But... as I have gotten...

    King James Version Bible vs. Modern English Perversions

    Yes, the fact that there is NO copyright on the KJV would make a difference to a person/company that wants to sell some books [purposely NOT capitalized] in order to make more money. Would God be pleased?

    Paranoid Christianity

    The "ways of man" may be the culprit you seek. "For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings." Prov 5:21 Egoistic? Certainly! Who is not? Only the ones who have already overcome as Jesus did. Too much emphasis, as I see it, on man's skills and on...

    Do you do this?

    Indeed as you quoted verse said: "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." Matt 15:14 Otherwise consider these verses: "Judge not, that ye be not judged." For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and...

    "O Canada.."

    Herein is the problem for those who have been believers when they are not in close communication with God every day and even every moment. Our first allegiance must be to God, but we are paying more attention to men and men's government how are we to know what God wants from us in this moment...

    Do you do this?

    "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." I Cor 13:12

    Do you do this?

    OK I'll bend if you think it will help. I am completely blind to your way of seeing. I received not even a reflected glimmer. Go ahead and follow the billions, if you really think the majority rules on the things of God. Jesus did stand alone when even his closest followers ran away. The...

    Friends Salvation ?

    Yes, this may be so, though it is not so simple to judge it. My point remains.

    Born Again ?

    I was not disagreeing with you. On the contrary I was simply indicating that John showed us in his death an example of what is necessary anyone who is to be a part of the Body of Christ? I won't say that John is or is not because without regard to his being filled with the Spirit in his mother's...

    Friends Salvation ?

    Do every one of them believe exactly the same thing, just because they attend the same church building under a given set of prescribed rules? As even the Catholics here have admitted not all Catholics believe or follow all of the rules set by the powers that be for that church. This is so for...

    Friends Salvation ?

    If it is believed by a person to be Christian, that is Christ-like, why would it not be? I am not speaking about any general errors of the churches doctrines and rituals, but the faith of the individual. If the person's heart is toward God and she believe the mass is Christian who can say it is...

    King James Version Bible vs. Modern English Perversions

    My primary Bible is the KJV, but I would never say that anyone who doesn't use it is going to miss the boat. Without the Holy Spirit leading, any person can miss God even though he uses nothing but the KJV.

    Subjective Religion vs Objective Christianity

    " Not a good deed, but charity: "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins." I Peter 4:8 And charity is explained or defined here: "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not...

    Do you do this?

    I have already told you that I am in touch with God on this. I am not walking alone in the dark. If I do not need to explain anything to you, why is that you continue to ask for answers?

    "O Canada.."

    All of us who come short of where Jesus was and is, have very different ideas on the subject, but... "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2 So then each of us can say that we really just want to do what Jesus would do? But, do we? Someone...

    Do you do this?

    I have answered all of your questions. No further defense is needed by me. That you do not understand it or agree with it means perhaps that you need an interpretation. Remember what Joseph said? "And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace."...

    Jesus says look for these Signs to know when My Return is Near.

    Not to worry. I have studied it and while some parts of the Book of Revelation have been shown to me, a lot of it still has not fallen into place. As you have said, if you [we] need it He will show you [us]. Look first to this verse: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that...

    Born Again ?

    But John does lose his own head quite literally in the physical: "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual...

    Thanks for the smile. Kathy will appreciate it. Tell Dave he should take the same course.

    Lucifer

    Absolutely! Men are stars. Exalted by God, but then fallen when they went back to partake of their own vomit and to look over their shoulders with longing for the evil city that had been their home. The example that always comes to my mind, is the evangelist, Jimmy Swaggert. He was definitely...
