Aye, my friend, I have always been naive about many things, especially in the worlds of men. When I wanted to care about them and become part of them I do believe that God helped me not to get much more involved than I already was. Eventually He led me to a better Way and I am still striving to...

I really do disagree with you. All of us who not yet overcome everything that stands between us and God are still in a measure carnal. [Who but Jesus overcame all of those things before natural death?] We remain as James calls it, "double minded" until the "old man" is completely and finally...

"All you and your friends"? What does that mean? Are we not all friends and brothers in Christ, believers on this forum, in spite of our differences? If we are not, should we not working to be or asking God to help us to be so? By unconditional, I mean very simply that God loves us in spite...

No, I was not implying that. I was trying to be careful in my wording, but as you see even with the most care, we still may end up with unintended semantic difficulties. My intended emphasis was rather on problems that believers do have in spite of having the Holy Ghost within them. Again...

A sign for you may not be a sign for me or vice versa. Jesus provided the sign of Jonah when asked to provide one but many of those who heard [or those who now read] his words failed to understand what he was saying. Jesus always answered with the right answer when he answered, but who was able...

Give God the glory!

Unconditional love for the carnal man is indeed impossible, but for God? "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27 "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the...

@"ByGrace" Give God the glory, dear Sister!

That my friend is already what you are looking for...

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Ecc 3:1 "A time to love, and a time to hate... " Ecc 3:8 God always knows what time it is. Do we?

Jehovah's Witnesses for all of the complaining here and elsewhere on Christian forums about them stood up for what they believed under the Hitler regime while the other so-called Christian renigged on their beliefs to save whatever it was they thought to be more important than serving God. The...

Sometimes my friend, while being led by the Spirit results are seen such as you describe. God sometimes wants us to do things that puzzle us and confound us because we do not see the good in them. We should then recall this verse: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that...

And then again, why did God remove the hedge from around Job? The very first verse says: "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 More overcoming still needed is the answer I believe to...

Unfortunately, too many people are still working in support of their own theory or doctrine or whatever one wants to call it instead of in really wanting to grow and wanting to help others to grow closer to God. The really bad part is that most of the best ones are the ones who visit Christian...

:):D:rolleyes:

My point is this. Take a good look at the people and their society that you see around you. In the beginning God made everything "very good" [Gen 1:31], so what has happened? Man and man's ways beginning with Adam and Eve is what has happened. That which is contained in this little bit of dirt...

I am with you on which version to read, but I'll present no more arguments here on it other than without that version I would often be reading in a language I would have trouble understanding.

Remember also what Jesus said about every "idle word"...

My problem [and the problem with very many believers who have received the gift of the Holy Ghost] is still being unable thus far to completely and absolutely allow the old man to be killed. It must happen and will when the dirt is thrown onto our faces if we make with Him to the end. Then we...

Well you made your position clearer to me. Thank you for your kindness.
