That is comical. It would be better if there were not so much truth in it. As our friend, @bbyrd009 would say, Yikes!

Amen to that! That is called growth and it is, I believe, absolutely essential for as long as God still has allowed us time in which to do it. How long did Job growing God prior to the time of the Book of Job so the opening line could call him perfect? But Job had time and God has something more...

Daily contact with God is necessary. If we are way off on something but we are sincere, God will tell us... if we are staying in touch with Him. We may not even know that we need to repent of something or know that we are deluded in somethin if we never make room for God for Him to tell us about...

Aye, many people have already decided although they do not realize that this may for them be a delusion. This is why, I believe, our direct line communication with God must be on a daily basis.

And we do want to have a King, but not just any king.

Most certainly we need to follow the Lord so that He will remake our heart. The heart of the Old man of us is not a good thing. Give God the glory!

@GuidedPath Welcome to the forum. Well are you going to tell us about the crooked spire or not? I for one want to hear.

They follow their pastors? Not many as I see it. Mostly they follow their own hearts to wherever it is that feels good to them. If this were only the unbelievers, well we might expect that. This is too prevalent as I see it however among those who claim to be Christian. They claim to follow...

Remember these verses as well, brother: "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." I Cor 3:6 We may have the truth as God gave it to us, but we may not always be able to convince others that we are right and they are wrong: "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but...

We, you and I, may well be finally saved, but we do not say it because we have understood a few problems in even confessing it too definitely without more definite knowledge. I know that in my own history I have moved both up toward and down away from God more than once. I will not presume that...

I hear you loud and clear. Fortunately for all parties I am not the one who makes the judgement.

I was just answering off the top of my head. There are some who believe in it that I have seen as being quite close to God. They are saying it that way but... I won't say what I believe about most who grab hold of it and just hang on because they call it the irrevocable ticket home [to Eden?]

Yes, people often do expect an answer, and it may not be surprising how many varieties might be received. I liked yours.

"Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca...

@brakelite You have your understanding which as I sees it bypasses or twists the meanings of too many scriptures. I do not understand it all so I leave it your hands. I can only go with what God has shown me, one baby step at the time. The rest is for someone else. Hopefully you are moving in...

The sins not committed in ignorance under OT law [Moses] were a basis for kicking a person out [cutting him off] of his tribe. Many [most?] people today do not even understand how ignorant they are of the things of God. Does He want them to learn and do better?

What you have said is precisely why God looks at the heart rather than simply at the superficial doctrines that a person holds. Believing some seemingly very good things can really be worthless if they are believed for the wrong reasons. Do we know anyone who does that? Do I do that even in a...

I see two possible good endings for those proclaiming the OSAS doctrines. One is the person who really does trust God and works with all that he has to do things as God wants to do them including asking God for help. He is doing it right, but doesn't realize it and could not explain to someone...

It's like most of the funeral services I have attended where so many lies are told or, at least inferred, to tickle someone's ears or to apparently not add to the pain of losing someone close. The three fold cord is strong when used correctly as the written scripture is the truth when it is...

Yes, the bad pastors may draw the bad congregations, but the opposite is also true. The question comes back to which came first, the chicken or the egg.
