I see no short simple answer for the first part: God loves everyone. But, consider the following: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 What is the "world" that God loved? From...

Yes, that is thing of choosing the flesh is something I noticed. It really took me a long time, not because of God, but because of me. My flesh also wants in...

@monoingles Welcome to the forum, Dan.

In other words, double minded!

Thank you for that!

Sometimes that may be very late in race. Too late?

Many probably do without realizing what it is that they are doing.

Pharaoh already had a hard heart and an inclination to harden it even harder. God simply used what was there already to accomplish the work. People point a finger at a "devil" or "satan" or "lucifer" when the primary source of the trouble is likely with "yours truly". Don't tell anyone who may...

God really wants us to come to Him as a child, but that is, as I see it, to be on a daily basis for as long as we have time. But... because we have experience as "Christians", we never want start again from the bottom. [Kind of like the old child's game of Mother May I] We always to take up our...

Something in Jesus knew he had add those last words to his prayer: "...nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." The prayer itself admitted of the flesh of Jesus that was very tempted find a way to avoid the torture and pain which was set before him. He knew that part of the Father's...

Some people would say that I am completely ignorant. I am not, at least not completely. Aha, but what measure of knowledge do I have? Nothing or everything or somewhere in between? God really does know. If I were a Bible scholar with a degree in that field from one of man's schools would I be...

I am thinking on that. If the feet of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream [Daniel chapter 2] were Protestantism and Catholicism, and the stone cut without hands out of the mountain was the Bride then what what would the mountain itself be? The Protestantism and Catholicism are the formal...

You are really just almost if not exactly right on the money here my friend. God does tell the His-Story in scripture, but scripture can be and is used to tell other stories besides the one from the right hand of God. When dealing with this or any subject really we should always be aware that...

What is the real trouble? One is that there are too many people who effectively play games with regard to speaking with tongues. Another is that some people have decided that tongues are never part of God's plan today and only the devil [forgive this reference] uses people's gullibility to...

Yes, I'm called out, but sometimes what people ask for is very clear to me and there is no question for me. A clear answer may be a black and white answer but sometimes black and white does not work hypothetically. Jesus knew when to give no answer, because someone was asking amiss. I wish I...

You seem to be holding a grudge. Is this ever a good thing to do? "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." Matt 7:1-2 There is certainly truth within our sister @"ByGrace"...

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6

David did not always stand where he should have been standing, but when he messed up and was made aware of it he was always willing to pay the price. With Bathsheba the price for adultery was death. With Uriah, Bathsheba's husband, the price for murder was death. But God does not look just to...

"The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly." Isaiah 32:4
