Yes, I understood.

"Abstain from all appearance of evil." I Thess 5:22 "Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend." I Cor 8:13 If meat or tatoos or mini-skirts or long hair on men or etc. "make my brother to offend" I will do...

@pia God has richly blessed dear sister. Stand fast with Him to the end of your course.

Everything good that is in the Bible is in Jesus, for is he not the Word of God? He therefore of course could teach without an open Bible in his hand. The Bible alone on the other hand is as Jesus was on the cross after he had said, "It is finished" and before he resurrected from the dead...

Also praying! Remember that the lack of post on this thread doesn't necessarily mean a person is not praying!

@NorthshireCleric Welcome to the forum.

The problem is of course that people disagree on what is essential and what is non-essential. If the essentials a person or group holds are not essential to another person, how can that person simply sit back and do nothing? What should he do? I certainly agree with this. Assemblies that...

On some of the questions after I have answered you insist that I answer you again using your guidelines. I don't have all of the answers for you or perhaps you simply don't like some of my answers. To me there appears to be a lack of communication. I really have tried to answer all of your...

Jesus was only the Head. His Body is the people who will be all of the parts as per I Corinthians 12 written by Paul. The Head was ready to take its place when he had overcome the world [John 16:33] and when he spoke the words on the cross, "It is finished" [John 19:30]. What is missing the...

God really was looking for the same thing in the those Israelites that He seeks in people today. The people may have had a different set of black and white rules set before them, but God was always looking at the heart. It was not just whether or not you had followed the literal rules, but...

I was never able to easily understand poetry and for that reason when I was young I usually avoided it as much as possible. The two exceptions are what I read in scripture and a book of assorted Spanish verse that I purchased as a textbook when I was a college student over 40 years ago. The...

I will grant you that their official positions are not ones I would follow, but I must take individuals one at the time and a doctrine at the time. Many people do not simply parrot the official position if they even know it. Generally Jesus was against the places where the Pharisee and scribes...

The sinfulness of men to me means that we were born corruptible, but not yet corrupted. Being corruptible, once we were able to do so we went ahead and corrupted ourselves by sinning... often by imitating our parents or our peers. Our carnal nature was attracted in that direction by "the lust...

I don't believe that I quoted your own words or argued against your own words. I made my own statement. You of course do not have to agree. Hopefully, you will not insist that others agree with you. The Jesus which is. He is defined fairly well by I Corinthians chapter 13 and by Matthew...

And this is where we definitely differ. It is also not about me being right. God is right. I want to be on His side. The Church is growing but until it is fully grown it is missing some things. Any part of it that is not growing [individuals or groups] is stagnating and dying. From the Church...

This my dear lady is a beautiful testimony. Perhaps it is even too bad that you went ahead and obtained a Bible. My Bibles of course are precious to me, but they themselves can become idols as the fiery serpent originally made by Moses at God's command[Numbers 21:8] later had to be destroyed...

Do those Psalms really say that or are you adding yours or someone's else interpretation to the words? "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me." Psalm 51:5 KJV "Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth my mother conceive me." Psalm 51:5 YLT...

Should we presume that only those knowing without error all of the "important" man discovered extra biblical details about the Bible and early Church history will get into God's kingdom? Should we also presume that the "little walking by faith simple Bible reading and prayer" people will be left...

Jettison? No, all I said was I had never studied it. Can a person only clearly understand God if he becomes an expert in the original languages in which the text was written? I would certainly think not. God speaks to a person's heart. You say God's reason for using that language was known...

Welcome to the forum, friend! We have in common perhaps the one called Jesus, the Son of God. Can we go on from there?
