Yes, but remember that Moses also missed the Way when he struck the rock rather than speaking to it as he was told.

Oh, I absolutely agree. As you may recall I read the Bible regularly in both Spanish and German. That already gave some insight into this question because of the words used for "study" in those translations, raised questions in my mind. The right answer is always God's answer. While the answer...

What we have is really a two edged sword. It will trim off the bad things of someone who has hope, but it will kill evil things. If a person has reached a point of being without hope [e.g. blasphemer of the Holy Ghost], would it not kill him?

I agree with you on this as well. My pastor harps on that point. Since he received the Holy Ghost in 1936 and started preaching shortly after that, it is scarcely something new. What I see and understand is that God has more than one single message in scripture although overall it may be one...

I really do not believe we are disagreeing. My point essentially is that as Jesus had reason to weep, so should we.

God does not change. Circumstances and people are different and sometimes those make a difference in how God deals with a situation. We can always get help for ourselves to make it along God's pathway, but will we receive answers to every question that we have?

Of course, I know of some who say that Michael is really Jesus. I am not there, but it does make one stop and think, does it not?

He was not weeping for any who had no hope. He was weeping for those while they walking wrongly still had hope.

Some of them certainly! Maybe even most of them, but consider that the apostle Paul was a Pharisee and consider where Nicodemus might have been when he came to Jesus by night. "There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said...

We don't have to be so clear on it after all,do we? "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 "And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his...

They want the final favorable solution to be theirs now without having to sacrifice the things in this carnal life they believe are fun or important. They don't like the meaning of this verse: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living...

Yes, God can display a righteous anger at people who know better and take the evil road, but like the father of the prodigal son, He is mourning for his loss while he is lost. He hopes the prodigal who has fallen into the depths of the seemingly bottomless pit will find his way home. Some...

Indeed, people have so much more today in one sense than Israel had while following Moses through the desert, but we corrupt what we have today [the scripture written under God's inspiration] as our first carnal parents corrupted their bodies and the bodies of all of their children. Remember...

It may be obvious to any one who has read my posts on this thread that I believe that the Bride is not the same as the Church. Not all of the Church will be saved as I understand it, but all of the Bride will come out of the Church. Everyone in the Bride will be saved. Others not in the Bride...

"The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly." Prov 20:27 "For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out." Prov 24:20

Absolutely! We all should be striving to make the Bride, which is the best place for us, is it not? Some are likely to come up short on that, but isn't it better to end up among the clean or even the unclean animals in the lower levels of the ark built by Noah [having missed out on being at the...

Who is included in the phrase "my people, who called by my name"? An answer to that question as well as knowing what it really means to be "called by [His] name" would probably help you come up with clear answers to your questions.

But Jesus had died and resurrected. Was not James himself a born again believer? That same verse to which you refer uses the words "a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ". Was he writing to people who did not believe in the resurrection of Jesus? Was he writing to people who were simply...

A little bit of that cold is supposed to be heading our way here in Oklahoma. After a mild August [usually the hottest month of the year], September has been trying to make up for it with high temperatures and humidity. Monday begins the change with even greater decreases on Tuesday and rain. Of...

Indeed, as parents may compel their children to attend worship services but they cannot make them believers. Similarly, society may compel people to attend services to avoid criticism. While it is less so than it once was, many people have clung to the title Christian, because it opens doors to...
