I admit defeat. I engaged my mouth without proper consideration.

@bbyrd009 Of course you caught me on that. The Holy Spirit will sift through things for us if we allow it. If we don't then we simply lose whatever Life we may have gained. Is this the second death? The Holy Spirit does use the scriptures we have read or heard to accomplish God's purpose for...

When I said a person could do little against those on the outside, I certainly did not mean nothing. Usually on an individual basis when the door to a person's heart is open and we have something besides "silver and gold" to offer we can be helpful. Some people given a special gift from God...

Does the Holy Spirit serve only as prosecutor? A prosecutor does seek the truth, but his focus is on establish a case against the defendant. The Holy Spirit is working it both ways like a two edged sword. It trims the error and/or sin and/or sinful ways. He will work both for and against the...

God gave them only baby steps so that some would hopefully begin to see the real difference between the clean and the unclean. The baby steps were in a carnal vision [milk] but what was ultimately needed was the spiritual vision [meat] which dealt with more important things than which animals to...

Amen, sister! Lots of things going on all around us. We can do very little toward improving all of that, but what is happening inside of me I can certainly do something about. Has God not provided us with the means? Give God the glory!

Amen! "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" Matt 6:34 We concern ourselves too much about tomorrow. This is the way of men. Yesterday is gone, so forget about changing it. Today is our...

So then allow God in you to make your witness a good witness. Your witness is your life being as Jesus' life was when he walked on planet Earth as a man. How do you get such a witness? You don't getting it by learning a bunch of rules or taking a course on how to be an eloquent public speaker...

"Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase" I Cor 3:5-6

But, if that is where the Lord is, should we not desire to be there also? Should we not do what we can to be there? "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" John 14:3

@pastorjagan I am praying with you and for you on this.

On this one, my secular studies helped because of the different genders definitely expressed in German as well as the distinctions made between "on" and "in". What I read in German and/or in Spanish was not always equal to what someone was telling me the English was saying. Some people have a...

Again: "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 But also: "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but the Lord pondereth the hearts" Prov 21:2

We must really be directed by the same Director all of the time to never encounter differences which cause us to bump heads on some things. This is also why the charity of I Cor 13 is so very important as I see it.

Nada!

I still await more on this.

Yes, likely God who knows all of the meanings has given them to those He felt it most appropriate to have and to handle them. Whether some them were mishandled or simply none of our business may tell us why we are not familiar with some. Always want a final answer when really within the...

I guess I am missing something as I have never understood it that way. Perhaps one of my several pastors did, but if so I did not know it. For me the valley or mountain top event is happening now to each believer who is growing. Who is growing and who is becoming stagnant?

@bbyrd009 His will, His perfect will of each of us! Who knows it? But, even we do not know it should we not want to be in His will rather than our own?

I do not recall all of the circumstances as it was a great many years ago [prior to 1987 when we moved from California to Wyoming] but I will relate what I recall about it. It was the third assembly to which we belonged after coming into the Oneness Jesus Only movement. It was the second one...
