I don't use my last name because it means Wild Boar Herd in its English origin.

Oh, for cryin' out loud! For goodness sake, get out of the CoC while you still can.

Most of the people I know, IRL, who exhibit Christ-like behavior, will have nothing to do with a "Christian forum." They shun them like the plague.

I think he's a Georgia (a state in the USA) boy.

But, how do you REALLY feel?

Does anyone here ever avail themselves of the THIRDMILL study Resources? Thirdmill: Biblical Education. For the World. For Free. I really like the site, though I find it a bit difficult to navigate.

I've had 47 bikes myself, and completely agree with you.

How about a link? (I think it's post @ 537 ?) We have no idea where to look. Was it that #16 should have been # 6?

I like you Candidus, but you need to do a bit more study before trying to say that we are not told "with man it is impossible." I think it goes something like this: "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." "And Jesus looking upon them saith...

I like you Candidus, but you need to do a bit more study before I try to say that we are not told "with man it is impossible".

What is being "presently" cleansed? Does that mean that in perhaps seventeen minutes from now, you won't be?

All this "fear-mongering" with the rock climbing and bullet train examples is the same "walking a tightrope over Hell" that I left behind in the Church of Christ. It puts it on us to be afraid God is saying: "do it right, or I will kill you."

Sorry, but I guess I will always see the "fearing God" you guys describe as the same fear that keeps abused wives from leaving their viscous and hateful husbands. To me, it is a form of mental sickness.

I guess I will never understand being positively motivated by fear.

Don't get me wrong. I also would love to be expecting to have no more troubles, and to get pulled out of here, leaving all this worldly hassle behind. I would also be thrilled if I could just believe for a brand new car, and, "poof" it would magically appear in my driveway. The childhood...

It is approaching nighttime dog walking time, and then a shower here. I will pursue this on the 'morrow. OK?

Oh...……… and I don't believe there is going to be any "surprise" Rapture, either. I probably will never understand the warnings to "Be ready, and keep watch, or you won't get to go with the rest of us."
