As you are wont to say, I am not angry. As in this particular courtroom, you consider yourself judge, jury and executioner, I will submit not any secular evidence [for that is all that you have or will accept] since you have already pre-judged the case as if you were God. How well do the...

No, I went directly to God as I suggested. I haven't got it all yet, but He is not finished with me and I am growing. The organized churches are not, because they routinely quench the Holy Spirit in their members. Without the Holy Spirit there can be no Life and without Life there cannot be any...

Pardon me! I was wrong to give much so credence to history to one so well versed in what Catholics have written. Truly the study of history does not provide us with the truth. Your position is of course correct according to Catholic writings and beliefs, but whose is not according to their own...

The best reason to attend would be because it is what God wants you to do. Perhaps not everyone has that reason or perhaps for some reason God does not want some to attend any particular church building regularly at all. So then I would say the best answer is the one that God has for you. Are we...

@James Roberts Thank you for sharing your wonderful testimony with us. Give God the glory!

And the man inserted and organized traditional practices of the Catholic Church have developed over a 1700 year period. So what does that mean? Consider that Judaism at the time of Christ had already existed for about 1500 years. Old age in men or in men's traditions does not make them correct...

Generally as goes the flesh what you say is so, but I would say that knowledge comes only after stepping out in faith and real knowledge as God sees knowledge is not be found without charity/love. I believe you did state as much in part of your post I did not quote, but I wanted to reemphasize...

Yes, I need to work on it some more. I have in the past done much as you suggest, but I haven't touched it for about a year now. The complicated part is that I have written so many other things which are in my computer and rightly belong to the autobiography but have not yet been incorporated. I...

Two words that are too often, I believe, misunderstood and/or misapplied: Love and neighbor. For me Love/Charity is described here: "Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is...

Yes, and what does that mean for you and for me? Give God the glory! Amen! But who is even able to understand what and how to go from here? Not only are we unable to keep God's law, we cannot even understand it without His direction, His help.

My dear BOL, the reason Martin Luther and others left the formal church was because their efforts to effect correction were not just ignored. They were condemned. The man Luther was doubtless in error in places, but in that which was more important he probably followed God more closely than the...

"Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." I Cor 3:5-7

Below is one of my posts on the other forum on this revised slightly to fit better here: Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is...

This is me too, but I know of at least one person on the forum that would disagree with us without ever dreaming of calling us liars.

So what is a law or statute to God? It is simply a Word from God, is it not? If God speaks to our heart directing us not to kill our neighbor in spite of his evil ways, is that not His Word to us? Is not His Word to be taken as law by us? This is a problem, I believe, that people find because...

Yes, this was essentially the viewpoint of the sister on the other forum. I could easily agree, but the problem is with the wording of the verses in Revelation chapter 5. If it was the Lamb, why was the Lion even mentioned? Thanks for the additional verses. The confusion arises because the...

I doubt that any sincere theologian has it all right, but neither do any of them have it all wrong. Likely was so for what any church groups defined as essential doctrines. How do you sort them out? Study is not an evil route, but it will not alone resolve all of the differences between sincere...

I really responded because God spoke to me on it first as I said on that other forum. We must keep on growing. To do so we must be flexible. In the flesh we grow faster than we die until we reach an optimum point of strength, then we start going downhill toward death as the body is no longer...

If such a single 24 hour day were really reserved to worship God, perhaps. But God has not reserved one day for me. For me He has directed worship of Him 7 days a week. I must also, according to Him, read my Bible 7 days a week. I do not look to the Bible for rules, but for the raw flesh of...

"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jerem 10:23 "O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!" Psalm 119:5 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" Matt 7:7
