Actually, no war was fought just to end slavery. The actual legal end to slavery came about during and as a result of the civil war, but that was only one issue and not necessarily the main one. But anyone paying attention would understand that while slavery may have ended a type of second...

My it can be sharp, so sharp that it pierces "even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.[Heb 4:12] And here on this computer forum page it seemingly does more of the same, but someone did the input...

But God made them a promise: "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of...

@"ByGrace" I would say that it is not the sin itself that we are to overcome. It is rather the way we follow that leads us to repeat sins which we have already confessed to God. Jesus has paid the price for our sins, but he wants us to stop sinning and become witnesses to everyone around us as...

Yes, Jesus provides the perfect example, but those you mentioned provide closer examples of what our reality most likely is or has been. We can find explanations in those guys and others in scripture, but our goal still needs to be Jesus. We aim, or should be aiming, for the impossible: Jesus.

That which is chaff is burned up. That which is not good is destroyed. And you know this to be always the case, how...? God has spoken to us as well if we have had "ears to hear" and have been paying attention. People go at it in many different ways according to their own abilities and...

My post was directed @pia with regard to her understanding to let her know what I have found and read for myself in the scripture on another side of the issue. Much of what posted could be used by @face2face . If you had read some of my early posts on the thread you would know that while I am...

People have always been able to choose between going their own way and going God's Way. For the unbelievers we should not expect much and we should not be condemning for are they not already condemned? Let them enjoy what they want to enjoy and fight for what they think is something worth...

I haven't looked at this issue in detail in a long time, but here are some notes I made with regard to the devil about 8 years ago. I post these words and scriptures for anyone to consider and/or pray about: Who is this devil, this satan, this lucifer we have heard and read about? He is (or...

Enoch did something special, but we cannot judge it really or compare it with what we have because we have not more than just tiny clues as to what he had. We could speculate, but what we know is that God took him because he walked with God. Uncorrupted? He was born to carnal parents so he was...

I guess I have to see more than the secular issue. That's me. To many people the secular issue is the only issue. They have made their choice and they should make the best of what they which is not much as I see it. My issue is with people who want to ride the fence... I've been there and...

I won't be. In spite in anything that anyone says here or what anyone here does the final results for anyone living in this society today could be catastrophic.

Did you also forget that your birthday is today? If now you say that it's not, it might explain why you are not remembering how old you are? Oh, never mind me. I've probably had one birthday too many.

I am watching this issue closely because I see in it too much of "me" [the "me" for each person involved] and not enough of Jesus among those who would quickly count themselves among God's people. I believe strongly in equality among people under the law. The problem in not being able to obtain...

My wife was very unbalanced for quite a long time before her recent back surgery. She has had many falls in spite of being very careful. I've been more fortunate in having had only one hard fall. I stubbed my toe on something and down I went, but other than sore knees, I had no lasting adverse...

Living in Oklahoma there are no close really large bodies of water. For birds I have three feeders outside our apartment window. One has suet, one has mixed seed and the third one has sugar water for hummingbirds and orioles. I have gotten some good pictures, but to take them I have to raise up...

LOL Have you tried one more recently... say within the last 48 hours?

I learned the hard way not to be too quick to say what is in my mind to someone I have just met. Sometimes in my mind I have already categorized them with so many who seem so very very carnal in most respects. Then, boom, I open my mouth to let on in even a small measure what I am thinking and...

Give God all of the glory, my friend!

It's OK. I used to play a mean game of tennis up until about 20-25 years ago.
