Childeye- You have helped me immensely! Just want to thank you for your posts.

Had another thought. To debate whether Paul was giving his opinion when he said:"I give my opinion", is not really such a profitable thing. It does detract a bit from whats most important - the gospel of Christ. I choose to take paul at his word, others don't - that's fine. But I think even...

You have spoken well RD!!

Elijah!!! You are the only man I have ever met who has said this!! I believe it too and keep my mouth shut on it because I feel it will make people angry, but you have been brave and given me the inclination to be brave too! The men who declared all of Paul's letters to be scripture are the...

Ah..yes, I see unfortunately that we will have to disagree. For me to meet together with you, I would have to concede that all men are not born blind and for you to meet together with me would mean having to concede that they are. Lord, why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own...

Do you know, it just now occurs to me that we think differently about created and born. I think Adam was created and that we were born. Adam was created WITH God's Spirit IN him. We were born WITHOUT God's Spirit IN us.

GM, Eventide! Let me try to explain again. No, I'm not arguing at all. I'm exchanging ideas. I don't argue. I hope to get to know you and everyone in here better and for you to get to know me better. I think when you know me better you will see that I don't argue. You said you had to believe...

Hey again Hitch! I read some on that website - thanks! I have to say, I am still not convinced in my mind. I don't think it is absurd to think He may come twice> They couldn't understand He was going to come twice when He came the first time. Or how it could be possible that it seemed to say He...

Eventide, hello! I have been gnawing something over in my mind because of this post but I had a hard time finding your post again! What you have said reminds me of darkness. What I mean is....we know God created darkness. (Job) Yet it is maddening to think of this! How can John tell us that...

Hi again wip! Thank you for talking to me! I am enjoying the company of you guys, my brothers and sisters so much! I think Adam and Eve were different in some respects. They weren't born - they were created. They were created, as other creatures were created, to "bring forth of their own kind."...

Yes!! He has said we must be holy because He is holy. We are a temple that must be set aside for Him! Would He command something and then make it impossible by not giving us the grace to accomplish it? However, He has also given us some warnings....and even to keep safe from these thnigs He...

Hi WIP! The Holy Spirit has shown me that in addition to the literal healing of the blind that Jesus did, the words are spirit as well and that the spirit of the words is that we are ALL those men born blind and that we have to go to Him and ask to receive our sight in order to understand the...

Hi again! Your name makes me hungry! I never looked at it this way.... I know that God is Spirit and I know that His Spirit lives in me and I do not feel separated from Him. I do feel I would like to not have the hindrance of my carnal self that sort of....pushes against His Spirit in me at...

Oh, Sam!! Thank you for this post!! The only problem I am having with it is that it was not long enough!!!

John! I do not know exactly what the septuagint is but I'm sure you probably do! Someone said that Ezek 21 in the septuagint does not say that God will destroy the righteous along with the wicked but rather says: the transgressor along with the wicked! I wonder if you know if this is so?? I...

Hello Potluck- It is nice to meet you! I have been reading some of your posts in the different threads! You believe you are separated from God? Since I have received the Holy Spirit, I have known that I am NOT separated from Him. He is in me in such a tangible way! Have you received this Baptism...

I am back Pard! I read the verses you gave me from Romans! I cannot explain them! LOLOL They seem to say I have no excuse for not having seen that He existed for my first 42 years. And yet, I just didn't see....I didn't. It has just now reminded me of some verses in Genesis that I will go...

Thank you Rockie! You have helped us!

Oh Sam! You're funny! Dog poo! I know what you are saying about His love overcoming that feeling! It happens this way to me too when He shows me something hideous I have been up to in my heart and that I was trying to hide it behind some fig leaf or another. And I want to be contrite and mourn...

Oh Pard! Don't you think it is not meant to BE that we argue or defend but instead help each other to grow in more understanding? If we could get past the defending part and HELP each other by saying....I see what you are saying about this verse but..........what about THAT verse? How does IT...
