You know what it is, so you tell me.
Religion conforms the outer person to certain behaviors. I've needed, and received, inner transformation by the working of this God we've been talking about. By His Spirit, in conjunction with the proper application of His written word. This is what I'm talking about.

This is the most logical thing you've said. There is a communication issue but if this post is true then you believe in God. Are you a liar?
I don't work at believing in what I theorise about. That leaves me free to continue updating my thinking and learning better designs.

The CAIR group? I honestly don't remember. What impacted me was the seminar, "The Divine Plumbline." You can read about it online, though it's not a self-help program. In my opinion, it is a God-given, supernatural program. Different ministries around the world teach it. It's not easy and it is the only course, that I know of, that I would recommend.

What lol? ok then....
Our beliefs dictate to us what we think at the time is enough to go on, where most become stuck and refuse to keep going and face the fear of their lack of knowledge.

I HAVE WATER!!!!
YIPPEEEEEEE!!!

Have to have all of the electrical replaced or removed in the cottage though.
The thing is going to fall in and become a fire haphzard.
The main breaker was fried so no power to the pump so no water to the house.
I wonder who is going to move EVERYTHING out of the cottage though..:eek:
And put it all where? :rolleyes:

Still working on the shop. Waiting for plywood and insulation but I need to take up the wet carpet first, which means moving more stuff.

Anywho...
I have water. It's a good day :)
Thank You Lord!

Are you on an earthly pursuit to gain knowledge? If so it is all in that book that you keep saying is a lie. All the knowledge you could ever want is in that book. You could read it hundreds of times more and still not understand everything that is in it. All we could ever need to know on Earth is in the Bible.

The modern convienence of a toilet is nice to have, one that actually flushes.

It's a good thing I had the electricians come out today and check the pump.
The back of the main breaker that runs all three, the cottage, the garage/shop, and the mobile home, was coroded. And you could smell that electrical burning smell when we walked into the cottage.
It could have been a really long and very cold winter.
It may still be.

You mean knowledge as in spiritual knowledge of God?

I don’t know what to tell ya. You’ve read it hundreds of times? I am not even sure how you could get through it once without the Holy Spirit. It would be like reading a phone book.

Hi @Mantis The Lord Jesus indeed said: "Thy word is truth" (John 17.17) (Easy reference to remember, also...)

But don't non-believers have to read the Bible first to become believer's, and only then they can accept the spirit of God?

Yeah, think about that pickle of a question.

Well I can go back and forth with scripture with you if you want but frankly I’m growing tired of this conversation.
