Oh I agree. The question is, What is necessary to express our belief on the him who was sent? It certainly requires more than simply saying the words with our mouth. If we really believe we will do whatever it takes as we realize what it takes. What it takes is likely to change and increase for...

I knew one who did commit suicide successfully, but while he was suffocating with his head sealed in a contrived plastic bag, he had time to talk to God. How long can a person live without oxygen? How long does it take to make things right with God?

Well I have known some people for years who believe strongly in the Bride coming out of the Church. While I also believe it, I remain very open to other explanations, because some parts do not fit when my mind seems to think that they should.

No, no confession by Moses, at least none written down for us to read. One problem that some people have is when they don't understand something in the scripture, they will sometimes grab hold of a handy explanation and before long it become "gospel" to them. Lots of condemnation of others...

The last and probably the worst when it comes to it. When we finally are thinking we are clean, we open our mouth and say it to someone with just even a touch of "look at me now" showing.

As Jesus put it [John 17], we are still IN the world, but we are no long OF the world. The IN the world part is why we have this double minded trouble. I believe that when Jesus said that he had overcome the world, [even though the cross was still before him] that he was no longer tempted. He...

This is the truth. For me to seriously backslide, if it were possible, would leave me in likely the worst of possible hells. Gives me some thought about satan and the devil...LOL

I have no disagreements with you on such issues. I am working a lot of details. Even though on some things I may lean a certain way, I truly do strive to remain pliable. The One who forms the clay into something worthwhile needs us to be pliable.

The place prepared is for the believer with Lord. The unbeliever is dead and needs not place. The backslider from true believer remains open for me.

Judas' problem brings with it the thought that suicide is an the unforgivable sin. I do not agree with that idea myself, for what was actually in a person's heart at the time of the suicide matters very much to God. God is the only one who really knows what was in there.

Indeed and I do believe that some of those believers will be in the Church while missing the Bride.

Actually, I really try not to finally condemn anyone even though some like Judas and Esau and King Saul present examples of what we should not be doing. A momentary condemnation within the context could very well be as it was with Moses. He did not make it into the Promised Land because he...

No, I believe that the Holy Spirit is the blood of Jesus that we must drink in order to quicken his flesh [the dead carcass of scriptures] we have consumed. The scriptures made alive within us reflect what Jesus would do.

How many times will we be allowed to rediscover and take hold of our First Love? If we quench the Spirit in us one time too many because a big truck just crushed us as we crossed the street...? This happened before we had a change to repent that last time we stepped out of the Spirit and then...

Their efforts saved only themselves. Our surrender to God may save us, but how much can we do for the next guy who refuses to listen and/or to open his heart to receive what God has given us to share with others? Sometimes people are receptive but sometimes we have to leave shaking the dust off...

Yes some seed was planted, but remember the parable of the sower sowing into different kinds of ground? Not every seed planted yielded anything and those that did had different results [30, 60 or 100 fold].

We are most definitely bound by time according to our flesh and according to scripture: Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Ecc 3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Ecc...

It is not finished until it is finished. What? Jesus had finished the work that the Father had for him as a man. Have we finished our work?

Why did Jesus come? "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10 How did he provide us with Life? "Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat...

God is where He is, whatever that means. We may agree that the scriptures speak of Him being effectively everywhere, but there are differences which probably we cannot really understand... unless He has given us a special vision on that. Since God is everywhere, what do we say is the...
