Amen, my good brother, amen!

How about being on God's side? You inserted "Satan, Demons & his Tools & Fools Fighting Against Trump 24/7 365" seemingly inferring that Trump was a man of God. I am not against him when he is on the Lord's side, but generally speaking I would describe President Trump as God's man rather than as...

What a person reads in the Bible is already fair game to anyone whose heart is not open to the Holy Spirit. For this reason we have the thousands of denominations based on the Bible which on some points completely contradict one another. You call the Bible the Word, and in a sense you are...

There is knowing and there is believing that one knows when he really doesn't. Perhaps Jesus was thinking of this when he said, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me...

@Rollo Tamasi Welcome to the forum.

@Marakorpa Welcome to the forum and no questions at the moment.

Is it really? Those who have never known God when the dirt is thrown over their faces are already dead... and as the scripture says, "the dead know nothing". Their condemnation was the death they inherited from their first parent, Adam and Even. Of course, when we are speaking about a person...

Thank you for clarifying what you see as your purpose here. It may well be that God have given you just such an assignment that in order to help everyone learn how have charity toward one another, even if we disagree with some of their beliefs. Jesus always showed charity to everyone, even to...

God was inspiring men to write and they did, no matter what else was or was not happening, be it good or be it evil. Consider the Apostle Paul's words with regard to the Jews: "What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto...

I was a devout Catholic and an altar boy with hopes of becoming a priest until I graduated from high school in 1961. All those years as a Catholic and I never saw such English versions of the mass. Jesus paid the price about 2000 years ago. Why were the improvements [if they were] so long in...

Yes that is where I was and where I am.

And the solution is? We do serve a God is able even if we are very shallow in our view of Him, or we are working hard at the works of men for God. It is not too late to become more than that.

Even so! This is certainly the case. Today too many people, I believe, read the parables and Jesus' explanations to the few and still do not really understand His explanation. If we are faithfully paying attention and in submission to the Lord and we NEED to have a better understanding, will He...

I do. If I did not, I would certainly be in trouble, no matter how political I might be. "He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he." Deut 32:4

If our hearts are right with God, I believe that we will never feel hollow or like we are 'playing church'. At that is according to my own experience and what God has shown me. No, it is always what is in our hearts that God is looking at. In the OT, they have seemingly perfect set of formal...

Jesus also worked to please everyone, but he was unsuccessful because it was unwilling to compromise. I hope in that respect I am like Him. For myself, I do try the spirits versus the Spirit, but is it always my job to try them for everyone else? "For the body is not one member, but many." I...

Twinc, are you contradicting the scripture? Does the scripture need to say something verbatim for it be acceptable?

You seemingly wanted an explanation of where I was coming from... so I gave it. I am sorry if it has moved the focus away from your OP.

Even persons without the Holy Spirit in them, as I see it, can only understand anything of the things of God by means of the Holy Spirit. Most people. even unbelievers, do understand some things of God, but without the Holy Spirit, they cannot grow toward God. A person may not recognize or...

I certainly do not disagree, although neither do I completely agree. This would guess this is what @"ByGrace" was expressing in post #41
