Yes, just so! We are communicating with God. I have a computer full of my own writings, many of which I believe came from God very often done while reading the Bible or as a result of reading the Bible. Years ago I did it on paper and had stacks of notebooks. In the 1990's when I went out from...

I believe he was trying to point out that on one of your posts instead of using tbh [to be honest] you added a "g" [tbgh in post #125] which made it difficult to understand. I also questioned it when I saw it but finally presumed it was a typo on your part.

Yes, but if the exact words a person quotes are really coming from the heart of the person, how can they be wrong? Non-Catholics sometimes get after Catholics about certain prayers they recite from memory. As a child and teenager I was guilty of doing that without really even considering...

It's OK because God know what is and what is not correct. If a person really stays on God's side, will the way that person leans with regard to the question polled make a difference?

I believe that Job was perfect in the eyes of God according to what he had and what he was doing with what he had. When the trials come upon him, he does well, but at least as we see it with our eyes of flesh, not so well as he might. This is like comparing King David with King Saul. Looking...

No, my point was simply regarding no 2nd chances for people who lived since the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus. With OT people it may be more complicated. Well, I am certain there has never been and never will be any sin in 3rd heaven. In 2nd heaven it's more difficult to understand. I...

In any measure that our ways are not as His Way, are they not coming up short? God was not punishing Job, but helping the man to move closer to God. How close can any of us get to God? The limit is never in God. Any limit is in ourselves. Anything that we do that is not exactly as God would have...

I am not certain of your point. Remember that I am of the persuasion that there are three heavens. Jesus was in all three. Every believer in any measure has entered at least 1st heaven. 3rd heaven the focal point of the Father no one may enter into with sin or with even the ability to sin...

Whether it is a parable or reality, heaven or hell or someplace else, the message as I understand it on this point is still the same. One did rise from the dead that we might live. If a person has had the opportunity to hear from Jesus, the One risen, and refused, what further opportunity would...

My understanding of the KJV now is not I believe in error, but without a doubt when I first heard a teaching from that verse it was wrong and I took it in then although with misgivings. My German and Spanish versions of that verse clarify it very much. But... I started reading the KJV in 1976. I...

Could it be humorous to God and we, any of us who are like God in some measure, also want to laugh? "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying...

Or perhaps we take those reins back totally and then soon are wondering what happened to God working in us.

I believe that directly or indirectly the following verses speak to this question: "Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not...

I am praying for Piper and her family!

To me the part I have underlined and emboldened is where Job really was missing something important. Even when done with the best of intentions, walking in our own way always gets us into trouble with God. This where every one of us has been or is too much of the time. God was helping Job to...

This my friend is why it is so important to be in touch with God... all of the time [I know this is for some or many an impossibility.] He certainly understands any message He has for any of us. So then we need to be really be hearing His voice. The best translation of scripture will not save us...

So then all that we have to do is stay on the Lord's side. This thing of hermeneutics is something I only first heard of a number of years ago when I began to frequent Christian forums on the Internet. If I ever use it or go by it is not purposely as I still am still fuzzy about what it means...

Yes, those within the True Church eventually will not miss a turn. With that I will agree. Of course, we will likely disagree on where and what the True Church is. I may be a liar and you may be a liar, but Jesus is not. Again as you are following the scripture, I will agree with the bare...

Indeed, there are so many with false doctrines. If someone missed a turn and/or goes down a false pathway, will not God redirect the ones who are really hungry and thirsty for His righteousness? Is it not sometimes necessary to change in order to line up with God?

Or even... where death comes from!
