    Boycott the NFL

    I do hear you my friend, but Jesus really has a solution for everyone who comes to him. That you should also know... Does anyone think that there is another solution?

    Boycott the NFL

    That is a very strong statement. Where did you get such definite knowledge on the subject?

    Boycott the NFL

    Have you been in their shoes? How much control does anyone have to be what they want to be when opposed by the powers that be or by the majority?

    Boycott the NFL

    Perhaps like Jesus they simply were not acknowledged for what they were?

    Boycott the NFL

    And Joseph was never a slave while living in his father home in Canaanland, but he was thrown in a pit and sold to strangers by his own brothers. When he really was a "physical" slave, God brought him out of it to become first in power in Egypt after Pharaoh... but this was only after spending...

    Baptism ad infinitum !?

    At least there is one post on this thread I can understand at least in part even if it is only to decipher "lol"... lol

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    It is not an organization as most church groups are organized. They have no official name. Their only real human leadership is whatever leaders are in the local assemblies. While I agree with much of what they do and believe, I am not what they would call 100%. For this reason I won't post more...

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    They're not advertised much, and they may not always be as open as they sometime want to claim, but as I have said they are much closer than most. There is no central headquarters giving orders, so there definitely differences from one assembly to the next, however, some of them are quite good...

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    In an absolute sense even online is not so "open" as that. I am aware of physical places [not online] where anyone in attendance can get up and speak without permission from any scriptural subject. The usual limitation is that the person must be willing to be questioned if someone doubts what he...

    A stranger to Christ

    I do understand what you are saying and I won't personally fault you for your position. However, I do believe that one reason what is called "Christianity" is in as bad shape as it is, is because people who had faith early on, then for most part left it far behind as they continued their walk in...

    It is not in the bible.....sola scripture

    I see the three heavens as depicted by types and shadows such as the three levels of the ark built by Noah and the three divisions of the tabernacle in the wilderness. Our problem in understanding likely is aggravated by our own inability to see things outside of time and space. God would have...

    Boycott the NFL

    "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Rom 8:28 We cannot see all of the good as the children of Israel in Egypt could see no relief from their burdens a slaves. At the end of their 400+ years just before...

    A stranger to Christ

    Because you have not had such an experience does not mean that no one else has. The scripture is full of them. If Moses using a different name [an alias] were to appear here telling about his experience with God in Exodus 33 many people would doubt him and even call him a liar. If he told them...

    A stranger to Christ

    My friend, you know that I am not likely to change what I do for anyone but God. Sometimes He does speak to me through people and when He does I really do try to pay attention. If someone personally complains about me intervening for or against them, to that person I would listen as well.

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    Yes, I've now changed it to "Georgia" at size 5. I wish everyone else would at least make theirs larger. I know how to increase the size to read it but there are a lot of posts, that can be more trouble than it is worth.

    She can and does of course speak for herself, but remember Jesus' words: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Matt 18:20 Pia is on the Lord's side whether you understand that or not. If she disagrees with my statement I do not believe...

    Sola Scriptura - does this foundation make you a heretic

    @bbyrd009 @mjrhealth "And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the...

    A stranger to Christ

    @pia @Job The key for us is not in what pia saw that was not in the scriptures, but rather in what she has seen which is found in the scriptures. Not all of us can see all that is in the scriptures even though our carnal eyes have read them and our gray matter have processed what we read. It...

    Called to Overcome....

    I rarely write separate requirements with regard to satan because I lean toward him being me, or in me, rather than being a separate entity. The "wicked one" is the "old me" who is not dead yet. When he is then there will nothing more to overcome. Whatever he is, or it is, also needs to be...
