    That will work fine. Thanks for the assist.

    What Is A Christian?

    That's fine. I simply look my "alerts" and "new posts" each time I visit the forum. That usually shows me anything of interest. But, I'll be certain to check out that particular sub-forum if not seen elsewhere.

    As you say. I'll be watching for it.

    What Is A Christian?

    Within reason I am willing to discuss. I don't want to argue or to butt my head against a brick wall. Otherwise you name it. I have more than one belief that the larger Protestant denominations don't support and sometimes they don't like them. But, my beliefs are just that. I would change them...

    Outside accounts

    And I am one of the them... of the outside witnesses that is!

    What Is A Christian?

    "For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings." Prov 5:21

    What Is A Christian?

    Of course, you are correct. This is another reason why I see everyone who believes in God and Jesus at all as being in a measure double minded. What differences we have without God sometimes are at extremely distant opposite corners. People who really come to God and then pay attention to what...

    What Is A Christian?

    Well, my friend [if that word is OK LOL], I truly have had few real friends during my 73 years. I can count on the fingers of one hand the ones I could really confide in... My wife is the closest and we also could grown closer. What I am looking for and have been looking for most of my life, is...

    What Is A Christian?

    People who believe I am going to hell, would likely not understand if I were to say that often I am in hell in the here and now. Hopefully that is the worst hell I will ever experience... I am what people would call an annihilationalist by the way. LOL That really does upset some. Few are...

    My Sheep.......My Voice !?

    Try to not let it get down too much. Jesus wept. [John 11:35], I believe because of what he saw all around in people who for the most part were supposed to be God's people [children of Israel (Jacob)]. We see something is wrong, we may be given an opportunity to help but sometimes we cannot...

    My Sheep.......My Voice !?

    twinc is generally OK. I first met on another forum several years ago and have been on several other forums with him. To help others out I will say a couple of things that might help. He is a Catholic, but doesn't agree with some of the changes within that church mostly stemming from Vatican II...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    Yes, my Spanish is much better than my German. These days I don't practice much like I once did as I'm retired and other than a little shopping and attending church services I spend most of the day in with my temporarily invalid wife. Mainly I keep up my languages by reading the Bible daily in...

    My Sheep.......My Voice !?

    The only question to ask of oneself, is, "Am I one of His sheep"? If I am really hearing his voice, then I am: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" John 10:27 But, on the other hand, who does he speak of here who never heard his voice at all? The Jewish leadership...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    Yes, I forget which community was involved since the man I knew had lived in Oklahoma for many years. He mentioned that many in his community had been bi-lingual Spanish/German and some even tri-lingual to include English. While I have been in Texas a number of times over the years, I've been to...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    It is not in disagreement with me. I refer to it periodically when teaching and/or preaching. Of course, you may disagree on that point.

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    Thanks for your response. These days I don't know a single person with whom I can practice my German. The last one died in 2009. He was born in Texas in 1926, but traveled to Germany with his parents in 1936. His father was born in Germany but was a naturalized U.S. citizen. His mother was a...

    Little lies & secrets

    In my own history many years ago, I sinned badly against a young lady in Germany with my words and my laughter. I wasn't serving God at the time, but He smote hard in the heart. When I was drawn to God few years later, I was reminded of my offense. I was back home in the USA with little likely...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    Well the Bible is short on smiles, but not on laughter, so make it a laugh then. My first question to you in #670 was my answer, but since you insist I will elaborate for you, but in biblical terms. The "old man" in each of us continues to disagree with God. The "new man', of course agrees...

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    Why is it necessary to make even the inference of what you know would be a false accusation against a person because his beliefs are not the same as yours? Smile Stranger as your face really will not break if you do! :)
