This was the same pastor who rebuked me over the pulpit when I was only beginning to read the Bible for the first time in my life in 1976. I had gone to him privately in his office prior to a service to ask a serious question. I wanted him to explain to me the scriptural basis for his authority...

I have no doubt that there are many good books written with very good advice. I will make a note of the name of this one but I expect to be getting any new books soon unless God provides. I have my small library, plus the public library, plus the Internet and I use each of them, but mostly I...

We are not all the same part nor are we to be the same part of the Body of Christ. Each part has its own particular function as the different parts of our natural bodies of flesh and blood have different functions. The apostle Paul writes that not everyone speaks in tongues. There is a reason...

I did not complete the poll. I seldom if ever do complete polls for a number of reasons I won't detail here. There really are gifts that God has given and is still giving to men. In my case one of them is praying in tongues as our sister @Mayflower has already mentioned. I know that there are...

Well it is about "pets", but as you say, not about what men call lower animals. I had a pastor once many years ago who called a particular verse in scripture [I am purposely not citing the verse here] his "sugar stick". To him it was I guess what might be called a "pet doctrine" as it was...

Even so!

I agree. I do strive to always be in agreement with God but still at times miss the way. Some people have decided that they are right and go ahead jumping in with all they have in decision after decision without checking in each time with God. The Holy Spirit will direct us, but sometimes we...

But we must first know what the truth is so as know that someone is wrong, and second we need to know that it is our job appointed to us by God to open our mouths to expose them. There is a time to speak and a time to remain silent. We need to listen to and follow God. If we are in error in our...

But when people sell something, even for a good purpose, supposedly for God's purpose, how much of the sales price goes back into God's work? Each salesman has to draw that line. Some don't do that very well: "But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept...

Or simply always say only the words that the Holy Spirit puts in our hearts to be spoken with our mouths. Who can do that? Jesus but how close to Him are we? How like Him are we? Where do we get our words? Where should we get our words? "And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto...

Praying!

@Frank Lee Also praying!

And Jesus, not Paul, said: "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own...

I don't always believe the forecasters. They are similar to some Bible readers [teachers?]. They have a lot of information available but they frequently come up short with their conclusions. I been there and done that too much myself to be too hard on the weather forecasters. I still hope for...

What is atheism? No God? Or perhaps it is when man has completely replaced God with himself. Adam and Eve started that in Eden when they started on their own journey according to their own limits rather than God's. God was not completely out the picture for them but as we read through the OT we...

But remember also that the children had commandments directly from God through Moses and yet all but two of those adults saved out of Egypt died in the wilderness rather than entering into the Promised Land. The people of the United States is similar in many ways to those who died in the...

Indeed, they did not know that His name was to be Jesus... yet they had faith in something unseen, something hoped for. Indeed again God doesn't judge us by how we know or do not know of what some might call the "facts". He judges us by what we do with what we have. If you have a high IQ, use...

Thanks for the effort to increase it. For you to increase someone else's quote you have to increase inside the brackets of the quotation:

It's been hot, but there was rain last night which cooled down nicely today into the 80's. The forecaster last night said it would not reach 100 degrees again this year, but on that one I will wait and see. It would be nice if he were right...

We might consider here what our friend @APAK and others wrote in regard to Israel: https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/today’s-jews-the-same-as-the-ones-in-the-bible.25290/#post-379269
