Gee thanks for that Jim. So then the distinction lies in Christ's "own words or sayings" and the words which God the father permits the Son to understand or say during the incarnation.This could help explain the debate surrounding Christ "not knowing" in Mt 24:36 , yet He is part of the...
I have been looking for some sort of reason or "formula" (I am sure not the only one)
why some reference to the written or spoken "words" of God or Christ as written in Holy Scripture, accepted Canon.Possibly the particular audience Jew or Greek which the author had in mind Mathew - Jewish...
The main thing is to "come to your senses" and go down on your knees and repent towards God with total remorse.Just like the Lost Son did in
Luke 15 :11-31.I know its easier said than done, but you must allow the Holy Spirit to help you to take control of your situation,clearly there is no...
Oh Boy!This is so in line with Paul's "Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done 20...filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity...envy, murder, strife, deceit...
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement Chopper.These words of Paul spring to mind regarding our sole purpose as children in God's family."Therefore encourage each other..."(I Th.4:18).And as a Brother that you do.
I believe the difference lies in their individual "motives" for accepting Christ.In Judas' case he had no intention of accepting Christ for what He was and the purpose of His incarnation , death and resurrection.Judas was what I would consider to be a "mole" or spy in the original 12...
I believe that the fact that we can merely climb in our cars or catch a bus or plane and return home safely every time is not something to be taken for granted ,but by the grace of God.Everything we achieve is not our doing but allowed to happen by the grace of God."For it is by grace you have...
Thanks for your kind words Chopper.I am pleased that your Grandson is a member of our noble course being that young I assume he is in the direct line of fire so to speak.I remember how we used to pray and read God's word at shift changes, not enough though.Its by sure faith and trust in God's...
Gee thanks for that Chopper.It also serves to remind us that all mankind is made in the image of God and that "all" no matter how different we might be in appearance or status have the right to be part of God's family and we should be proud of how God created each one of us no matter how...
Praise the Lord its high time somebody faces the "problem" and not merely "white washing" the causes with self righteous excuses leading to members backsliding.The causes or reasons could well be the attitude of the individuals themselves ie not getting what they expect from God ie self-centered...
We are very fortunate receiving this power Chopper.If I understand Acts 1, 4-5 correctly not even the Apostles who walked and were taught by Christ during His time on earth had this powerful weapon ,if I may call it that.It is a major responsibility imposed on us all who profess to be...
This is very interesting .I think one should go back and revisit the reason why Christ taught the Disciples and all of us how we should pray .The Lords Prayer (Mt 6:9-12 , Lk.11:2-4) can almost be rattled off by any person who has been exposed to Christianity.But what I have found helpful in my...
O
Yes Jim, that's why it's so difficult I think , when we all have these little lower nature quirks eg jealousy, arrogance , lack of self control Gal 5:19.If one could just "think" before we say and do stupid things to those around us.Sometimes the damage is so great we can only hope and beg...
