You are correct. Part of the picture is it must be one man and one woman. But my point was that even if you have two people of the opposite sexes but as Christians one or both of them has chosen get a divorce other than for the one reason Jesus allowed [fornication], and they go ahead and marry...

I just got back with my coffee, but I don't have that large of a cup nor such a vehicle to haul it in.

Amen! Even people who have received the gift of the Holy Spirit have too often learned in their church groups from their ministers to quench the Holy Spirit. When it is quenched we have taken hold of our own reins again and alone we cannot break through that shell. The structure of the church...

I hesitate on the use of the word, scripture rather the Word of God. They are quite similar in a way as I see it, but the difference I see is significant. I won't detail here if you are unaware of my position on it so as not to derail this thread. See the link: The Word

Yes, I agree that there a symbolism in it. I have no problem with that just so people don't insist that I agree with them on every point of their explanations. The 1000 years proclaimed by some to be a period of time here on planet Earth that is not heaven per se but is beyond what we have here...

No, but I still want to always give Him the opportunity to do so, rather than presume that I am right and therefore we must go my way. Remember the unnamed man of God sent to Jeroboam from out of Judah. He failed to consult with God listening rather to another self-proclaimed prophet and as a...

I agree with this, but to me if we are going to discriminate against fornication it should be an equal discrimination against any fornication. This is what preachers should be doing, challenging us when we need to be challenged. It is certainly what Jesus did. In opposition to the preacher's...

I am with you on this. I enjoyed his honesty even though I disagree on some of the specifics. Yes, compassion as Jesus had compassion on and stood with the publicans and prostitutes, not because he approved of their lifestyles but because God loved them in spite of their mistaken ways. How much...

Give God the glory my friend!

@pia Never ever stop communicating with Him. You may not be here with us, but as long as you are with Him you will not miss the Way. Thank you for being a bright Light here for the time you have been here.

@Philips Black and white answers? I think not. Is the use you are considering pleasing to God? Is it or would it be unclean before God? You must answer your own questions according to what you believe in your heart if your heart is filled with the Holy Spirit. Are you serving God and do you...

Don't conclude that people only believe in God because of miracles experienced or seen with the natural eye. You cannot understand because you are lacking the "eyes to see" which Jesus often mentioned. The "eyes" are available but only to one who goes His Way.

I do like your analogy of that rata tree. It is really a shame that is so much more than just a story.... It's a real thing and as we see here people are fighting retain it with no charity/love showing that I can see.

Yes, by all means remain open. This is how God has room to enter in and rearrange or add something to you. Too many people have finally decided on this or on that and even the Holy Ghost cannot do a thing with them. The authority is ours until we give it to God and so long as we have time...

I know little about the 1000 years so many seem to have ideas about. Oh, I have read the verses that mention that period of time, but for me it would still require a presumption about what the 1000 years is or is not that I am unwilling and unable to make. So I generally leave it alone. When and...

@Project Panda The power of God can be proven. It is being proven in the hearts of people who have come to know Him. The proof is not transferable from me to you unless God is involved in the transfer. I cannot do simply because I might want to... The miracles visible to the eyes of flesh do...

@"ByGrace" That was a beautiful dream, Helen. I certainly see pictures of the work of people in and toward God in it. Hopefully, we soon see a response from our friend @Hidden In Him

@brakelite So many made up minds, in opposition to us? No, the opposition is really to God and what He considers as the most important things. Moses worked so hard to soften their hard heads and stiff necks even offering himself to save them, but that is not the way that it works. People so...

I hear you loud and clear Helen. I am leaving the differences for another thread as needed.

I understand where you are coming from on this, but while I do disagree, I will leave alone as only you can make any decisions for you even I make them for me. I don't have additional words to say or arguments that I will present. We do stand where we do until we are changed. God will increase...
