But, @Lamb, I'm saying that it is not automatic. People settle at a certain spiritual level if their old nature doesn't like change, whereas God gives us many commands to encourage us with his goals for our spiritual lives. Then, if we ignore those commands, God has to allow certain struggles or...
No, @jesus lover, our bodies will be perfect and glorified with God's glory, but the Bible doesn't give many more details. However, only God is all-powerful and all-knowing. We are merely his creatures.
That's really sad, @Can't think of a name. Do you want to see biblical sermons? If so, use the Internet to go to chapel-pointe.org, and click on "Media." That's my church here in West Michigan. We're spoiled here with many biblical churches and Christians. You will continue on my prayer list...
I think that you are making progress by rejecting the guru's advice. You also are right to realize that smoking pot is related to your dreams. Now, the next step might be to muster up the courage that God has given you to decide to shake those destructive habits of smoking pot and drinking...
@Can't think of a name, thank you for your story. I'm at a loss to suggest anything that can help you. Have you checked into a hospital like the one I suggested, Pine Rest in Grand Rapids, Michigan? They helped me start on the road to recovery from my major depression; and since they are...
I just read your first post, @Can't think of a name. Do you get drunk, or do you control your drinking so that you don't get drunk? I suggest that you seek Christian psychological help to find out the source of your pain, urges, and paranoia. It might have been some event in your childhood...
He nailed the external FORM of all the laws, which were national laws for Israel, to the cross; whereas the internal principles of all the laws, which are for the international, new-covenant church, continue on. For example, you shall not murder continues on with the principle of the need to...
Well, I'm thankful that you have discovered the lament of the Old Testament books, @Can't think of a name. Keep doing it persistently until God gives you his peace of Philippians 4:6-7. Then, a huge burden will be lifted. You're on my prayer list.
Why are my words making your life worse, @Can't think of a name? Did you already know about that kind of praying? It's not part of the western culture. I know what I'm talking about, because I have experienced that peace several times after persistent prayers. What is it about praying that you...
Okay, @Can't think of a name, I have experienced God's peace of Philippians 4:6-7 only after pouring my genuine emotions of anger and anxiety out in prayer to him, the way Job (chapter 10), David (73 of the 150 Psalms, especially 39 and 88), and Jeremiah (Lamentations, especially chapter 3) did...
True, @Lamb, but we must not neglect the New Testament commands that share the goals we have as Christians, for example, Colossians 3-4, Ephesians 4-6, Hebrews 12-13, and the Sermon on the Mount as well as many others.
What, @leaping through the night, do you mean? Haven't you changed Paul's meaning? Read my previous post (#5) and tell me what you think of my interpretation, please.
No, Jeremiah, Jesus, and Paul had a better idea (the new form of the covenant):
Jer 31:31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
Jer 31:32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the...
Please explain the teachings that prompt your questions, @jswauto, and answer my question, Why does Jesus institute a NEW covenant, as prophesied by Jeremiah (31:31-33)? How is it new if it wasn't to change the form of the covenant, not its inner meaning, for the international church?
In Jesus'...
I agree with you, @Frankj, that it is the spirit of the antichrist that denies the full humanity as well as the complete deity of Jesus. Another passage seems to say that the antichrist is going to be a person of some sort. I guess we'll have to wait until then to find out what or who the...
