No Jesus does not, but sometimes He chooses to give someone something special just for the moment or just for the person so the person can grow even closer to God. Why not every believer? Why were only Levites set apart from the other tribes of Israel? Why were only the offspring of Aaron...

@"ByGrace" Dear, dear Sister I've just shared this information with my wife and we have you in our prayers. Just stand steady with Him and He will hold you here until He is finished with you here. Each of us has a purpose in God's plan. Sometimes, I believe, people will step away from God too...

God does not let us see everything, but He lets us see some things and when He does He may [or may not according to His will on the thing] also let us know that that is what is happening in the moment. We cannot put God in a box deciding that "no one can [ever] discern the ones who are real"...

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Matt 7:21 Just mouthing the words is not enough! "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he...

And how was it that anyone could get through the gate to the Tree of Life. They had to pass the flaming sword. What is the sword but the Word of God. Why fire? "John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am...

I already answered this, I believe.

There was no real blood as of yet. The physical blood was spilled when he was being whipped and when he was hanging on the cross. But... what Jesus was doing was completing the necessary work so that He could be the Head of the Body of Christ. He overcome the last obstacle for himself in the...

Have you never felt and been made aware of the "Real Presence" when reading your Bible prayerfully? I say prayerfully because it is when the Holy Spirit is working in us that the dead words come to Life?

The real thing is when we eat His flesh and drink His blood. Jesus is the Word of God. People call the Bible the Word of God and when they consume it they are eating His flesh, but alone it is dead flesh as his body was dead on the cross until he resurrected. For you and me we eat His flesh...

In case you misunderstood, I do not partake of bread made of grain or juice made of grapes at all. I do partake of the flesh and blood of Jesus on a daily basis. Neither the Catholic nor the Protestant communion as practiced by most group are a part of what I do.

Please don't get upset as I am only trying to be honest with you. For me what you call the Eucharist would be just another ritual. The real eating of His flesh and drinking of His blood doesn't occur through the physical consumption of wafer and wine. I have no doubt that a sincere believer gets...

Knowing God better is something else again. We are to grow and we should continue to do so until the end of our course. No one but God knows all that there is in Him and in the Bible for us. The limit on how much we get up to us even as the limit on how much we get from God is up to us. There...

Without God's help, I believe, it cannot be. He does provide help, but few people continue to ask help for more after they have received a certain amount. The certain amount is not the same for everyone.

Or He made it possible and desirable for all of the rituals which were but types and shadows to be replaced with reality! There no further need for daily or weekly or yearly sacrifices. No more death has already begun for the true believer in the sacrifice of the Son of God. Why would anyone...

All I did was point out that your declaration or conclusion was not as ironclad or obvious as you seemed to think. I wasn't there to hear him with understanding physical ears. I have never read the original writings nor could I read them in the original languages. God has not spoken to me to...

Of course you are right, but you are right because God has made it so. The carnal person alone cannot really know truth. Consider: "Pilate saith unto him, What is truth?... " John 18:38 Pilate did NOT know the answer to his own question not realizing that the "truth" was standing right in...

An encyclopedia not nearly so comprehensive as the Britannica.

This reminds me of my years working for Uncle Sam. Supposedly all of the form letters and the form paragraphs that were used by Social Security to advise people in writing of necessary information were written at a ninth grade [age 14?] level. In spite of this a great many high school graduates...

So often our problem with understanding comes back to time and either not knowing or forgetting what time does or does not mean to God. This supports my own belief that a person can see Him "face to face" before physical death. Perhaps even a person must see Him "face to face" before physical...
