Even so and God has never changed if we can understand what that means. Death means death. As @bbyrd009 already reminded us, "the dead know nothing": "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is...

If a 20 year old picks up a knife and throws it at his wife, he is likely to be charged at least with attempted murder. A two year old picking up the same knife and throwing it at the same person will likely not even be charged with a crime. The guilt or innocence for the same action does depend...

You know some truth, but you like everyone else who has not yet completely overcome the world as Jesus did has what to me appears as a mixture of beliefs and truth. Some of the beliefs are likely in error and some of what is thought to be truth is not. You should perhaps learn to use the Holy...

I would recommend you slow down before considering the judgment suggested by your question to our friend @bbyrd009 : "Do you ever read scripture?" Wait until you've been around for a while! Give God the glory!

Indeed, I would say that the truth of your words, "belief in Jesus will not save you", depends on what is meant by belief. Jesus said: "... I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall...

Oh, I am explaining it and I do understand my explanations. God will explain to you anything that you need if you always trust in Him. He is the only one who has all of the answers to all of the questions. May God richly bless you as you walk with Him.

God is really everywhere, but what we are able to perceive depends on where we are in Him and what kind of vision we have. He can always see us, but sometimes because of where in are spiritually or carnally, we cannot see Him at all. We cannot remain in that place of darkness. Solomon wrote the...

It may be like the lukewarm of Rev 3:16

Most everyone who attends some church believes everyone else should come to their way of doing things. Insisting too hard that you are right [even if you really are] is likely to cause even more dissension. "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2

Yes, it is very easy to see as we grow older and deeper in God just how seeming useless so many things in this world seem to be. Yet, people hold onto them and when I was younger so did I. When I've had my down times from God, He let me realize why people who do not know God want to die. They...

Don't worry about it, Mary. You just hold onto Jesus and he'll give you what you need when you need it.

@VictoryinJesus All of this, which you describe and quote in your OP is why we need God. What we need is Love or Charity as per I Cor 13:4-7. God is love. As a mother, if you have had children, if it were not for a kind of love in you, you could have done like some animals and simply have...

Sorry! Don't make it complicated. To partake simply means to eat or drink. In this case we are eating the Word of God and we are drinking of the Holy Spirit. It is necessary for any Christian. The physical communion is only symbolic although you will hear other things from other people on...

The old man is dead spiritually and he is dying naturally. Dead men don't eat or drink of Life. He is dead spiritually because that is his inheritance from Adam and Eve: "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou...

We can be, yes. For me, no. I cannot speak for you and for others. Only God gives the understanding.

There is really only one Way to God, wherever it is written and whatever it may be called. "...This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him." Matt 17:5 How does God speak to men? Has He not sent many messengers [angels] to men over the centuries? Are all of them described or...

The praise and glory continues even if you don't always see it posted to your threads: Give God the glory!

I was only showing why I used the words, "old men". The old man of us does not really eat the flesh and drink the blood of Jesus. Only the new man does that.

@Marymog I used to do it because at the time I thought is was necessary. Now I don't see it as harmful so as long as a person also understands what the real thing is partakes of the real thing.

For the same reason we don't look for an unblemished wooly type lamb and take him to an altar and kill him there. Those sacrifices were types or shadows of the real and final sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary. The old sacrifices were no longer necessary. The eating of a piece of unleavened bread...
