    How About Something Interesting for a Change?

    I'm not sure that I agree with your basic premise here.... that the fact that God's mercy endures forever means that there will be forever an eternal reception of mercy. Seems to me the whole of Scripture indicates that, once we achieve glory, we will continue on within the state or being of...

    in times like these...

    So sorry that you and your family is going through this rough time, Classik. My prayers for God's healing comfort to you all.

    The Derailing Thread

    Ft. Lee still hasn't released her from active duty...BUT...she said that it's down to everyone signing off. We are hoping that she'll be home by the end of next week (however, we've been saying that every week now for about a month! :shrug)

    The Derailing Thread

    It was at times... but, it's all done and Steve and I still love each other, so there is that! :lol I will state right now that I have the best son on the planet. I don't know what I would have done without all his help!

    The Derailing Thread

    I am, thank you! It's been quite the summer for us as our hot water heater... which was oh-so-conveniently located in a space between the walls of our master bedroom closet and master bathroom.... leaked and did considerable damage to drywall and flooring in the bathroom, closet and bedroom...

    Hi to all my good old friends here at cf.net! Thought I'd visit and see what's up! Good to see some familiar names around!

    Situation....

    Thank you, both of you. I really appreciate hearing from younger people on this matter. I just think it very undermining to a young person (or any person for that matter) to have others assume the worst about them.

    Situation....

    And, I bet your trust in your kids went way up because they proved themselves trustworthy. How can our young adults gain that trust and faith if we never allow them to ever do anything? And how can we ever expect them to want to be trustworthy and faithful if adults are going to accuse them of...

    Situation....

    Thanks for the replies. The two 18 year olds are our daughter and her best friend. We are fine with letting them go because, as I said, with the exception of the one girl, all these "kids" are well known to both Steve and I or her best friend's mom and most to all three of us. The three of us...

    Situation....

    So... a group of 7 young people, ages from just-turned-18 through 25 are going on a trip out of state to a concert. There will be 4 girls, 3 guys. Two couples. The plan is that all the girls will room in one room, all the guys in a different room. Unless they can get a room in which they can...

    Heaven Or Paradise?

    Asking how God can build a temple or city that can contain HIM is like asking if He can make a rock so heavy He can't lift it... In the end, He chooses to make the Throne the place where we will see His face, so that is where He will be. "Contained"? Not really, but at that place, in that...

    Heaven Or Paradise?

    lol... maybe. You'll have to tell me, you're far more up on Jewish thoughts than I am! :nod

    Heaven Or Paradise?

    I really need to learn to read posts before posting in a thread. Here I opined, just to find that the trolley left the tracks and everyone has bailed! :lol

    Heaven Or Paradise?

    I think Revelation 21 and Revelation 22:1-5 is pretty clear. There will be a new heaven and new earth and the new earth will be where the Throne of God will be. I think there is a clue that this will be physically located where the Garden of Eden was... due to the reference to the tree of life...

    [__ Prayer __] When life is like a ping-pong ball....

    It's been a rough week. My father-in-law had been failing for about a week. During the same time, my daughter was to graduate yesterday (Saturday, 30th). As it turned out, my fil died Friday night. Steve, Thomas, his mom and his brother were all with dad when he passed. Viola and I were in...

    Bible Study should women wear head covering and men wear beards ? proof?

    I agree. I think the passage shows Paul addressing a current issue within the local church at Corinth (something to do with head coverings, but we don't know exactly what it was) and emphasizing an eternal principle to apply to the issue (the fact that a woman's submissive attitude to her...

    Bible Study should women wear head covering and men wear beards ? proof?

    Yes, you are correct. If it would be a better witness to the unsaved women in my community to have my head covered, then I'd do so in a heartbeat with no problem. For instance, if we were to move to the Middle East or some place in which it was considered shameful for a woman to be without a...

    Bible Study should women wear head covering and men wear beards ? proof?

    Deborah, you have been really plugging away with some thought provoking posts in this thread. :thumb And, I think this question in particular gets to the heart of the matter. The appeal to the shame of a woman with short hair is cultural, because, let's face it... there isn't an inherent shame...

    Does Anyone Else Not Attend Regular Church Services?

    I agree with so much of what you have to say here. Deborah. I don't see Hebrews 10:25 as a command either, but as an exhortation that we do better when involved in healthy congregational fellowship. As a commercial says of a different organization: "Membership has it's...

    Does Anyone Else Not Attend Regular Church Services?

    In all fairness, I've never once seen a church that resembled this... A church only connected for an hour or two on one day a week looking toward someone considered to have "ALL knowledge" telling what they think about a couple of scriptures. In my 40 years of Christian faith, pretty much every...
