"And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Ecc 12:12

@Miss Hepburn Welcome back.

@BreadOfLife You make me very tired and very sad. I will keep you in my prayers.

Bible simply means "books". It certainly is in the written Bible. You should check before making such a blanket statement: "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. " Ecc 12:12 I could use logic against...

Yes, I do also have a certain criteria I use without thinking much about it as to whether I even try to read a post or not. In my defense I also try to pray regularly to get God's direction in this so as not to skip over something God wanted me to read. I don't always do that either, but I am...

No, it is not done away, nor is the speaking in tongues. Some people don't believe in tongues today. Some people misuse or even deceitfully mimic tongues, but in spite of this, I know that they still exist. Daily I speak to God in tongues. That is part of my gift and it is part of my testimony...

That word, hermeneutics, is one I heard for the first time on a Christian forum quite a few years ago. I certainly never read it in the Bible nor heard of it from any man of God I knew up until that time. It really is man's foolishness when it comes down to it. When a man seeks God in the right...

The Bible contains both history and rules, but it should have an infinitely more important role to those with Holy Ghost in them. As those dead words are quickened by that Holy Ghost, then they become Life in us and we approach more closely what Jesus is [John 14:6]. We move closer to the...

I know it doesn't fit well with your reference to lying white men, Twinc, but the forked tongues brings to my mind the following verses: "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them...

What you speak of is what I read in the scripture as eating His flesh [reading or hearing scripture or something else from God] and drinking His blood [this for me is the quickening Spirit or the Holy Ghost]. Jesus is very detailed on this in John chapter 6 but people have built another type and...

It is a good verse and I use it a lot, but not by common sense. Others use the same verse and understand nothing, or worse, as I see it, they misunderstand it. If someone decides ahead of time that certain others [outside of their group of course] cannot receive direct revelation from God...

But... when it comes down to it, what is it we obtain from God by common sense?

It is unfortunately that people get locked as they so often do into often heated discussions on doctrine without knowing what is already known by the other side. How wrong are they and how right am I coming forth when what matters most is being on God's side. But assumptions or presumptions are...

You are certainly correct as I understand it without many changes being made. What is it that will be changed? We will certainly be more like the Father, but we really don't know about what that is and how close He will let us approach. We all have some ideas and some people want to insist that...

I remember about many years ago when we still lived in California [left in 1985], my wife's best friend was not white. She was a soul winner as was all of her family. Her little brother won my wife and I to God in 1976. This dear sister and my wife used to go out to places all over town talking...

I have been on Christian forums for close to 20 years now and was unaware of this. I just tried it and it really is easy. My problem is things on computers keep on changing and I keep on falling behind. I want to learn about the Lord, but I really don't want to have to learn more about computers...

Speaking carnally you may be right, but spiritually speaking a Gentile, as I see it, is one who is not part of God people. He is an unbeliever or a heathen. Many carnal Jews have been spiritual followers of Christ and therefore might correctly be called Christians. The point, of course, that a...

Ah, my friend, but you [2nd person singular] describe the YOU [2nd person plural] as the Catholic Church, while I describe it as the people who believe in and love Him, which includes many who are definitely not formal Catholics. You [2nd person singular] need to be sure of your antecedents...

Yes, indeed, but we would hope to at some point see Him face to face, would we not? As did David and Paul, we have also been seeking His face have we not? Some people assure us that they have already seen more than David and Paul and that they already know God fully. How well do they know Him, I...

I guess it was not all that important for us to know then was it? God is surely according to both the NT and the OT no respecter of persons. Hmmm, to know God is act as God wants us to act because of what is in our hearts rather than because of the knowledge in our heads. Consider for example...
