    Why do you make conclusions regarding me or others without having knowledge? I did not say a word here about "speaking in inspired tongues" and you never having experienced them condemn them. "Then Job answered the LORD, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can...

    "Give us this day our daily bread."

    If we are leaning on Him and trusting Him completely He will provide our needs, but we do not always know what our needs are. Usually if God is using in the ways we would expect our needs will include sufficient money and/or food and clothing for us to live in our flesh with reasonable...

    "I never knew you: depart from me, you that work inquity."

    This is why we must love the truth even any part of it which we do not know. To me this means that daily I should be turning it all over to the Lord again and asking Him to show me the right pathway and give me the right understanding and to let me lean even more heavily on Him. Sometimes even...

    "Give us this day our daily bread."

    "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" Matt 4:4 "Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say...

    The Identity of the Two Witnesses of Revelation

    Not sure I am able to tie it all together, but somewhere I heard that the body of Moses is the law God gave to Moses, which some call the old covenant while Elijah could represent the new covenant. The old covenant effectively comes back to my earlier idea that it was that the witnesses were the...

    Because I believe that he, @bbyrd009 ,would have understood and perhaps God would have given him words which you could hear with understanding. Perhaps you will understand this even if you won't accept it. When the three Hebrew were thrown into the fiery furnace at the command of...

    Redemption ?

    No, some things are NOT self-explanatory. If it were so we would agree in every point, would we not? Rom 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Nothing wrong with that verse, but you are NOT...

    You really don't want sense, but rather submission to your way of seeing things, which is not God's. Consider Jesus's explanations of his use of parables: "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that...

    Redemption ?

    If she was perfected prior to the upper room, it was as Job was perfected: "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil." Job 1:1 God was not finished with Job yet, and prior to her upper room...

    Redemption ?

    Our first carnal father died when he ate of the forbidden tree as were all of his offspring. This did not change until Jesus made a Way where there had been no way for all of those centuries. Mary was full of grace as the scripture indicates, but she was still dead as Joseph the son of Jacob...

    I agree that it is spiritual. I was hoping you would understand something from the posted verses other than the established standard. Consider it from the viewpoint of the John the Baptist: "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30 The help I see that you needing is probably not...

    "I never knew you: depart from me, you that work inquity."

    I certainly understand this point of view of oneself. Some mornings I get utterly miserable because there is little I know and so much I do not know. Then... yes, then, sometimes I get into my reading and praying... and then God opens some of those closed doors. I may immediately come to this...

    I hear you loud and clear. We simply need to lean more heavily on Jesus. We cannot even carry our own burdens alone.

    Amen! Please help our friend, BOL. It seems that he is having trouble understanding what he reads.

    I only quoted scripture. Why are you presuming what I believe?

    Our purpose in life

    I am afraid my friend that I was saying nothing about you. I simply read his post and was led to respond so I did. Did you want me to say something about you? I have only read a few of your things. Sometimes I may put in a "like" to let the person know I approve. Sometimes I will do nothing. As...

    "I never knew you: depart from me, you that work inquity."

    By faith you would and should be doing God's will for you as a part of the Body of Christ. What part is that? What function is yours? Everybody according to the flesh as I see it wants to be the head, but that job is already taken. Jesus is the only head. This is why we see John the Baptist who...

    Our purpose in life

    There are likely many genuine students of the Bible who know very little because they don't know Jesus. Knowing the Bible well, is not equal to knowing Jesus: "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name...
