Yes, sometimes that is best especially if someone is insistent that without speaking in tongues you're going to burn in torment forever.

You are presuming that I spoke about what I do believe. I left much out on purpose saying little. It is different than your notions. You say I stopped the discussion. I say that there never was a discussion as I understand the word. Neither was it a debate as no goal or guidelines were set or...

@Enoch111 A another way perhaps to understand brakelite's point may be seen here: "And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and...

You still responded in places to my words without understanding or an interest as expressed by questions. Rather you simply criticized according to your own preconceived notions. I don't blame you for that. We are all likely to be that way in a measure until and if we have overcome that within...

I had a couple of immediate obstacles. I will describe only one of them here: my job. When we began attending at our first Pentecostal assembly my wife very quickly received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and to the satisfaction of some present she also started speaking in tongues. Although I...

The biggest obstacle was what I already knew or thought I already knew. What I learned in the Catholic Church and what I learned in college and on the job site was not all wrong, but I often did not know which was which. That is I did not know what was right and what was wrong and what was...

You may have two more denominations rising. And someone is bound to ask you if you are one of those: Who decides which of the two of you is right? And your answer is: "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 Oh but I...

I had reheated pizza for dinner last night. I don't much care for it reheated, but one does what one must.

"Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD." Lev 19:32 H7872 שֵׂיבָה śêybâh say-baw' Feminine of H7869; old age: - (be) gray (grey, hoar, -y) hairs (head, -ed), old age.

@JesusIsFaithful You've done it again. You are still making your declarations instead of discussing anything. Sorry but that is what you are doing. You keep mentioning to me things I have never discussed or mentioned as if I had. You put words in my mouth and then expect me to respond...

@jamesprayer777 I am joining you in prayer for your brother.

It really is not final according to the man who know the written scriptures the best and draws the most logically conclusions from them. That is according to the wisdom and knowledge of men. It is not the one with the brain equivalent to an Einstein that will rise to the top with the Lord... God...

I knew generally what was believed by churches according what I saw in people long before I ever read a Bible. Much of my more formal instruction came from what the nuns taught me in the Catholic Church combined with what I learned in man's world. When I began reading the Bible a little over...

Oh I have known that it was possible, but I have never done it. My grandkids could help but they live a ways off and I am not much on trying many unfamiliar things on the computer. I spend hours on it with my hobbies and my own Bible studies as well an autobiography and you name it offline...

I guess it is simple when you know how to do it. I will save the location for extra reading time. Thank you for the assist. Maybe I could have found it myself online, but likely I would have searched for it in my same old fashioned ways and failing in them I would have let it go. I am not as old...

You don't realize how very inept I am when it comes to a lot of things available online. I wouldn't know where or how to start looking for an online book free or otherwise.

@brakelite I am much closer to you on this subject than where almost any of the churches of main stream Christianity seem to be officially. Of course, many individuals only hear from their ministers and then parrot what they have heard.

@JesusIsFaithful All of this stuff you posted is why I am not responding to you fully on every point again. You are repeating yourself without responding to what I said. You have already decided and nothing I can say will convince to really seriously consider that I might be correct and/or to...

The ministry certainly in places and times. As to being a parent, I was always a big kid. I would sit on the floor and play with my little ones and in later years my grandchildren. My wife liked me as a babysitter although most of the time it ended up being her job.

Very good! You have aroused my curiosity. I have made a note of the name and will check the library and/or eventually the Bible bookstore. Thanks!
