@Taken Amadeus said: When is a person completely converted from what he was as an unrepentant sinner to the one who has overcome all of the world like Jesus did? Taken said: According To God? When a natural living man has believed, repented, and heartfully given his life to the Lord. According...

@Taken I don't usually do a lot of looking back, but sometimes it can be a good thing if only to remind us what has really changed. It also helps to bring home that God is still working on us if we are allowing it. The end is not yet. Of course my point was that as Adam and Eve could make...

When someone says that they loved the truth, they often have decided that they already know what the truth is absolutely and it is unchanging. Absolute truth may be unchanging, but who knows what it is as absolutely as that? Pontius Pilate asked the question, "What is truth" and many have said...

For most people it is easier to effectively say "Give us a king" and go on their own merry way to wherever it is that they are going.

If I recall correctly you and I kind of touched on these things once before. If I were a healthy 20 years old I might really agree better and be willing to change, but that is also unlikely. If I were a healthy 20 years old I would think I was superman and going to live forever anyway. And I am...

Then comes the question as to who is that doctor and what is that prescription? "When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Mark 2:17 Even though without a...

I first heard about that decades ago. Unfortunately communication between people is an imprecise thing and sometimes I and perhaps others are not as accurate in our usage as we could be. Some people use it better or worse than others... and this does not even consider the ones where native human...

Oh without a doubt it was God, but I had to make some choices. After about 10 years out, I want back in. I had not attending a church service in years and had stopped reading my Bible during the same period. Then I wanted to be accepted. I prayed with no response. I attended church services and...

Yes, your husband spent [spends] a lot of time in prayer and in the scripture but not with the idea or purpose of coming up with a message [sermon] for the next meeting. He was rather coming together with God because God already loved him and he was learning or had learned also to love God. Then...

Long ago when my mind was better I found an answer, not with my mind but with my heart regarding the double minded being, which is man, the follower of Jesus. My mind simply helps me go through the details and explain, but that ability is certainly diminished due to my declining mental function...

Sorry it is just that only one person acknowledged initially that I had posted anything. I presumed, wrongly it seems, that in the rush of things you simply overlooked it. Thank you for clarifying. I only just noticed it earlier today and decided to bump it forward. No, I expected no such...

Repentance is the secret, that is no secret, of my own walk with God. I cannot speak for all of the rest of the tongue talkers. I repent every morning when I read and pray. To be certain I have done so I always return to the "lowest room", which means I start with nothing as when I first started...

There are groups of tongue talkers who believe non-tongue talkers are lost and there are groups that believe a person who does not talk in tongues may be saved. In the very first church I attended after Catholicism, being completely Bible ignorant, I was told from the pulpit in front of the...

Well I am not an expert on medications. My wife is the one who usually diagnoses and I respect her greatly for it. She is better at it, in my opinion, than most doctors, although she never went to school for it and has no medical degree or license. Practicing medicine without a license is a...

@APAK Did you overlook my post #20 on this thread? I have quoted it below for easy reference. Thanks: So then the question from the other direction: Who does not sin? "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like...

All of those who are without sin among us may if they wish continue with this, but as for the rest consider: "Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with...

[Your post #83 on this left off all of your words after "Hmm". until just this moment. Did you perhaps edit the post after I had already responded to you? ] As to corroboration, consider that the fast of Moses as a shadow of the fast of Jesus. The fast of Jesus of which I speak is NOT the 40...

Do you remember why the Levites did not receive an inheritance in land like the other tribes of Israel? "The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. Therefore...

Help us dear Lord!

His apparent reason for that second fast raises a different question, doesn't it?
