@bbyrd009 As soon as I read your post it reminded of something I had noticed a long time ago and never got back to. Something had prompted me to look it up and I started to and then got distracted and forgot about it until you now bring it to mind. I cannot remember what it was. These are the...

You might enlighten me on your different "world" and "earth" understandings. I see man as being a bit of dirt or earth containing a world which holds onto the "lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life" [I John 2:16] as opposed to the globe on which mankind lives his...

@bbyrd009 My connection of the two is certainly rough, but both are concerned with salvation. One was salvation of animal life including people from the flood waters. The other was salvation of a people from slavery. They were both being given a new opportunity to do it right according to...

@bbyrd009 How hungry was the prodigal son just before he went back to his father? Hungry enough to eat a raven if it had been offered? Probably you did not mean the "you" for me personally, but I'll answer it that way. I was eating pig as a child and liking it. At the time I certainly had...

Yes, that is the trouble.

Yes, indeed. This is some so quick to say nay to any remembrance of Christmas at all. If someone, or better some ones, with the right Spirit is in the gathering it can be very good. Consider: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matt 18:20...

This part of the why of the OT being left with us to show us the ways of carnal men. Men for the most part haven't changed a bit since the sacrifice of Jesus from what they were before. They still have no Comforter and it is usually, if not always, their own fault. Yet, consider also this verse...

Carnal reactions from believers. Yet, so many say Once Saved Always Saved. They are right but oh so wrong. "Well I never felt more like singin' the blues" [Guy Mitchell, Marty Robbins]

When I was a kid I used to watch some of those occasional zombie movies they were making to soften us up for what was coming. Now it seem to be here. Sometimes I want to watch something relaxing on the boobtube and discover the multitude of channels now has a multitude of zombie movies and...

I have had people speak of me as being too spiritual or too holy to be any earthly good. In a sense they may be right, but as I understand it they do not know [or care] what is it that God wants or expects from believers. That place of death into which we were born when our mother bore us...

Yes, his boat held perhaps the same kind of mess that followed Moses out of Egypt into the wilderness or was it cleaner in the Ark? What kind of a world [planet Earth] is it in which we [the carnal "we"] walk and talk and sin [if we do sin]? Only one door and a window? Hmmm?

No one eats ravens? But people do eat other unclean animals as for example pigs. And was it not ravens who fed Elijah [I Kings 17:6] during a famine? What story is God telling us through the ravens?

One thing that does come to mind, is that Noah among men was the best that there was before the flood and yet we see him getting drunk shortly after getting out of the boat and into his day to day activities. Kind of reminds me of Lot: "And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy...

People do not really want to be children, or like children, again even though the cost of not becoming so may be a very high one.

I've never known enough about women to say what you are saying. I only have really known my wife and probably she is not a typical example, but I could be wrong on that as well. Yes, people make mistakes and how they deal with them helps to form what they are and are becoming. Both unbelievers...

@bbyrd009 And Jesus did leave the world: "And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are." John 17:11 But he also said "And I will pray the Father, and...

@bbyrd009 When we are not in the Spirit, we are the walking dead... zombies. There is no reality without the Spirit for we really dead in the eyes of God even though we continue to walk around and interact with other dead people.

Well it is the place they have chosen to be. In their minds it may be OK but to me it seems to be their own hell. Hell is perhaps their case where the heart is. I went back and reread what I posted and could not recapture the thought that instigated the writing of that phrase. Sorry, my bad...

Yes, I was there too when He found me. If I had not missed the boat so many times, I would probably already be there.

For God there is no darkness. For Him it is Light even in the darkness. "Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee." Psalm 139:12 The darkness is where we are, or where we have been until and if we started to...
