Welcome!

We look forward to hearing from you as we discuss the scriptures, as well as people’s follies, in these turbulent days.

Blessings.

Hi I am Stephen, and want to bring peoples attention to Jesus Christ because He saved me from my old man. When Christ comes back He will be concerned if we loved Him/ kept His commandments by grace through faith in Him John 14:15.
I'm in Texas as well. Houston area. Where about are you?

Welcome. Sad to hear about your old man. Mine hasn’t talked to me in 15 years. Better to have the nastiness out of our lives, eh?

Praise God! and welcome to the forum....wonderful to be in the “ New Man”!

Ephesians 4:22-24

King James Version

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Welcome brother. I was in Texas, on visit in 2010. I saw fort Worth, del Rio, El Paso, and fort Stockton. I thought Georgia hot weather was rough, Texas out did it. Take care.

Welcome Stephen4G…..
I must admit….those who use that expression “old man” seem to be referring to their father and it always makes me laugh, especially is this true in Australia where it is common to refer to your father as your “old man”.….I rather think that “the old personality“ and the “new personality” are better descriptions of the situation that happens when we come to believe in Christ’s teachings and change our ways.

I hope you have some good points of discussion. No need “to bring attention to Jesus Christ“ here as he is the focus of most of the postings on these forums….what you need then is to increase your knowledge as this is what reinforces our faith. Learn how to back up what you believe and your faith will be strong when it is challenged. Being challenged is a good thing because if you cannot defend what you believe, it’s not worth believing it. Blind faith never saved anyone. (1 Peter 3:15)
