Speaking of the carnal Jew, Paul writes this: "What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God." Rom 3:1-2 What was it that was committed to them? Under the covenant with the...

I see that your needle is stuck on that point... How likely is it that the song will ever be finished without assistance?

Please don't read that into my words. It is adding to what I said. Every believer must have a vision: "Where there is no vision, the people perish... " Prov 29:18 The apostle does not say we are completely blind. On the contrary he says that we can see even if it is not always as clear as God...

Hello, Butterfly/ Rita X It seems that you may agree with me and on son on this. If not, my advice is to go softly on him. It is better for both of you that he is looking to God rather than some place else even if you disagree on this point.

I try to respect any one I meet until they have given me reason not to... Knocking on my door is not such a reason. I have always enjoyed talking to the JWs and the Mormons the two groups who regularly have done that. Where I live now it is a posted no solicitor community which unfortunately...

Perhaps the Holy Spirit which giveth Life is the spiritual Blood of the Body of Christ: "[God] Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life" II Cor 3:6

All of the other bones were either broken or in some other way shown to be not up to the task. The bones of Jesus on the other hand were never broken. Notice that even the one designated by many as the "good thief" on the cross next to Jesus had his legs broken. "Our bones are scattered at the...

Does God have to fit so well into your box or mine? Remember also these words: "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." I Cor 13:12 When the apostle Paul wrote those words, he included himself among...

According to the flesh, it certainly was. But, I was a child and teenager then. No more of that although my mind remembers it very well. Thinking on those things reminds me of how God made it all: "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the...

When the verse disagrees with your belief just readjust the meaning to fit, huh? I will leave you alone...

Only those with the "eyes to see" can discern the ones who are real from the ones who are perhaps even unbeknownst to themselves are playing deadly game among the blind. God can see and His people can see, but how can anyone who is not among them recognize them? I believe that I have "eyes to...

If God is NOT omnipresent, what are these verses saying? "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.Psalm 139:7-8 "Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a...

I really don't believe he was an atheist. I believe he saw through the facade put up by so many organized churches, which were as bad or worse than the church they left in the Reformation to get away from... This to me depicts a better reason why he would not join any church. None of them...

@Angelina If it is not too late. I just saw this and am also joining in prayer!

I had not even really considered the ego. That's just man looking at himself effectively as his own best friend or his own savior. Instead of a one on one thing [one man to himself], it's like men forming their own corporate body of what they consider "good" things to do his own thing and to...

Of course we could probably build more of a case for such things, but is that really what God wants us to do? Missing out with God really is bad enough for a person who is not serving God if he understands what he is missing. Is it worth it to anyone to obtain the short-lived pleasures that some...

My own guess on the matter is that way back when someone presented a very fear inspiring fire and brimstone message to some highly susceptible people. It accomplished the preacher's purpose and grew from there. Ideas from writings like Dante's Inferno were easy to incorporate. Oh, they...

My first clue of this came from a man who was a bit unpopular on a couple of my very early Internet forum connections quite a few years ago. I learned a lot from him. @"ByGrace" would certain remember him and likely he is still around in places. It fit in very well with some scriptural ideas...

There is no doubt in my mind that the concept of hell as a place of torment for those not attaining to Life is a man-made misconception. Life is Jesus. Those without Him are already dead and will remain so. Their future once the dirt is thrown over their faces in the grave [hell] is simply...

Yes, for Jesus is now certainly our covering. They sinned and they saw themselves to be naked. They sewed fig leaves together as a covering, but God saw it as inadequate, so He gave them something better, the skins, until the best [Jesus] became available.
