....or maybe there are some things that are just wrong, ;) because I am not sure anyone can be said to know all truth. I believe what you are saying about Goliath is true. (A couple of years ago or so, the Lord "spoke" the number two to me...ever since then so many "two's" have been cropping...

Like you I'm trying to discern. Some things are ringing in as true or maybe, but other things I am not getting any kind of inner witness for.

Partly, I would consider it. Their punishment fell on them in 70 AD when Jerusalem and the Temple was destroyed and the people of Israel were taken as slaves or were scattered. Since then they have been strangers in a strange land wherever they went, which gives rise to being mistreated from...

Well I know what spirit that is of when someone tries to catch someone else out on a technicality while ignoring the whole point of what they are saying. See that a lot. It's what the Pharisees liked to do to Jesus. And I'm pretty certain that if the Pharisees and religious leaders of Jesus'...

Whew, I'm finding it's a lot to parse and chew on and I'm not young any more. Just can't get my head around it all right now, so I'll have to let it percolate and simmer on a back burner for a while and see if anything cooks up......asking the Lord to sift this.

Sorry for taking so long to get back here. Thanks for your replies. So the "end" of the ungodly and sinners who obey not the gospel.....isn't really the end (as opposed to eternal life)..? Same with destruction and perish.....they don't mean quite what they are saying? Are you saying those...

Think you pretty much said it yourself brother......their intent wasn't to expose and deal with sin for righteousness' sake or seeking anyone's good, it was something else they were doing there. Not lost on God, I'm sure....who sees the heart. It's a lesson for us to learn from, that we not be...

Amen, it takes two to tango. And I would say the fact alone that those men let their fellow man go free and only singled out the woman was hypocrisy in itself.

Well, thankfully dragging people to be stoned isn't what Amigo is about. That account in the bible is a lesson on mercy versus condemnation, it's not a lesson against shining a light on sin in the camp. They were about to have her stoned to death. Because that was the just penalty for...

Yes.... it is so sad to think of it, but I have wondered if the tares are being "bundled" together in these days. But people who refuse and reject the truth have a part in making themselves tares.......so if they would be humble to examine themselves, repent of sin, and seek the Lord for the...

I'm not a particularly bright sheep, was dumb for so long to the wiles of the devil and the true spiritual condition of the churches I had attended. One day many years ago the Lord was gracious to give me a little brief picture or vision of myself in a tiny little lifeboat which was tethered...

Amen....and those who can't see the similarities, could it have anything to do with that they don't know the word of God well enough to be able to compare what is happening in the church now with what the scriptures have set forth in the bible as examples for our admonition and warning?

Amen brother. Yes, it is a self-righteous "tolerance", not of God. So sad watching how churches are becoming more and more nominal. Friendship with the world is ENMITY with God. Come out from among them and be ye SEPARATE says the Lord. The church is losing its separateness and melding with...

Except the Pharisees were wrong-hearted and hypocritical. Don't you know we're in a war for souls? The devil is playing for keeps, this is not a drill. The church in general is being deceived and heading in a wrong direction that is leading them off a cliff. It's losing its saltiness in...

Amen. And that Phil 3 passage does not give me the sense of expecting to achieve or arrive at the destination in this life....quite the opposite. It ain't over til it's over. I don't dismiss the idea of what some call a second blessing or deeper surrender, though I haven't experienced that...

Yes, that's in the bible. Sister, I don't want to argue the Holy Spirit VERSUS the living word of God as handed down to us by holy men of God. There is no "versus" here because the two AGREE. It is not a case of one over the other. You know, when I ask the Lord about something that I'm...

Don't disagree with all of this in principle, but where some of us differ in particular is that we have different ideas of what constitutes delusion/deception. Epi thinks it's delusional to believe the wonderful graces (ie, free unearned, undeserved gifts) that the cross of Christ has so...

May I ask, what do you make of these scriptures below? 1Pe 4:17-18 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the END be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly...

Amen. Unbelief is sin, it is not righteousness.....and the bible says they are condemned already who don't believe in the Son of God. I think nobody can keep up with this or stop it.......since it is God's judgment on the world and worldly church that has and is being infiltrated by the...

There is no competition between the Holy Spirit and the word of God......they agree....the Spirit and the word agree......we need both. Two witnesses are needed to establish the truth, as scripture itself testifies. Bible also says the scriptures are able to make us wise unto salvation. They...
