Brother, we are close in age, we've been around for over a half Century, and we've interacted with more than a few folk. It has become easier over the years to discern people's motives. For me, being in the Construction industry now for 35 years, a Contractor for almost 20, as well as other jobs...

Just stating what I've seen in my years visiting and personal involvement with many churches across this nation since last Century. Motives are known by the fruit of ones life and ministry. And this has nothing to do with numbers. And as disciples of our Lord, we actually are told to judge...

Personally, I see this as one of the results of Religion having become a "Business" in many aspects; with a bottom line. and those seeking a "profit" far above the True Word of God that comes from a "Prophet." As I've stated for years now... there are those called by man to the ministry, and...

As the writer of Hebrews exhorts believers to "labor to enter the rest of God", it appears we ain't there yet! ;) Plus, the term "Jesus is our rest", while it sounds appealing perhaps, is not found in the Bible. :scratchchin: Gotta stick with the Scripture over the traditions of the modern...

The Lutheran Theology is still man's understanding. In the end, we can only go by what the Word declares. We have not yet the "rest of God." As with our entire walk with Jesus, we must do something to "enter the rest of God." We're not there yet, we must "strive" or "make every effort" to enter...

"I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." - Rom 12:1 NASB If our worship of God is limited to a specific day or time of the week, then we are not really worshiping Him at all...

"One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord." - Rom 14:5-6 Personally, I am convinced in what I believe, and the Scripture confirms it. The Lord gave me...

Thankful for God's blessings, His provision, my family and friends. He has truly brought good people into my life. :D I thank Him for His continued revelation and unveiling of His great plan and purpose as the Day draws near, and grateful for His calling and the opportunity to be a part of what...

:happybirthday: May your day be wonderful & Blessed. :birthdayparty:

Indeed, there is much truth in your statement about choices. Contrary to much modern “preaching”, what we DO has eternal significance upon the type of resurrection we will enter into. As well, the great bulk of modern Christendom is blind to much of what the Scripture declares concerning the...

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” – Rev 1:8 As those who claim the Name of Christ, do we truly believe what the Word declares? Is there something that man can do to thwart the plan and purpose of...

Thanks for your reply. Not what you mean by "double predestination." In the Scripture, there is only one "predestination" - that of the Elect of God to be "conformed into the image of His Son". speaking of those who, if proven worthy of this calling, will inherit these children, as well as the...

If one who has "called upon the Name of the Lord", received "forgiveness", and been "saved", yet continues to live "according to the flesh" assuming somehow that his present and future sins are automatically forgiven... what does this one deserve? .

~ concluded from above ~ Oh, we got into some real Bible Study here! I love being in the Word of God and receiving Truth and Understanding from His Spirit. So... all this here in the 2 parts of this 'tangent' off our 1Cor 10 Study, from the exhortation of the Apostle Paul, by the Spirit...

~ continued from above ~ Looking further into the incident at Peor - “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 11 “Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned away My wrath from the sons of Israel in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not...

ETERNAL PRIESTHOOD Part 2 ~ Continuing from Part 1, on our Study on the promise made to Phinehas and his seed, from the events that Paul references in 1Cor 10:8 ~ Back to the key figure in our opening passages (Numbers 25:1-13 and Psalm 106:28-21)… Interesting as well, is the meaning of...

~ continued from above ~ Now, here comes another fascinating piece of the puzzle… ! We know that concerning the Priesthood of Christ Jesus it is said, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (Heb 7:17) “Melchizedek”, whom the writer of Hebrews wanted to teach about...

~ continued from above ~ “Behold, I give unto him My covenant of peace. 13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.” - Num 25:12-13 KJ21 That promise...

ETERNAL PRIESTHOOD Part 1 Working on Part 9 of our Bible Study on 1Corinthians 10, I’ve been delving into the events behind vs 7-10. In Part 8 we looked at the “Golden Calf” incident, and I’m writing on “Temptation” now. But I wanted to share briefly(?) on this little tangent(?) here, as I...

The Scripture wasn't written in English. And Jesus is Alive, not dead. Our modern usage of "testament' and "inheritance" doesn't apply to the Scripture.
