Can we call upon the Holy Spirit for supernatural strength in times of danger?" Of course we can, robertguwapito. Often though, in times of extreme terror our adrenalin kicks in and the average man or woman can perform superhuman feats. At that point we don't have the ability to think...

Then said he to them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his money: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. Luke 22:36 plain_n_simple, someone comes through my door at 2:30 AM flying high on meth he becomes "fair game". If he survives There...

Perhaps I did type that. May I ask that you elaborate a bit more.

Uh oh. Someone's getting caught with his exegesis down. ...I don't think I am the one who said that? If I did it was a copy and paste job from another poster. Could be wrong though. Check it out and see.

Good for you! :thumbsup: Tell it like it is! :thumbsup: The Word cuts like a Two Edged Sword! :thumbsup: Many congregations today have "strayed" so far from ORIGINAL INTENT of the Word and the teachings of Jesus they can't see the trees for the forest! We get so burdened down in our own...

I think some might have misunderstood the point JoReba was trying to bring across? Perhaps he/she could expound a bit more?

No, I don't dwell on this and.... Good for you!

Thanks, Hamel!! I just wonder though, as it said if "you want to come back, just type in your old data" or words to this effect. Makes one wonder if you are REALLY deactivated!! Yep, you got it. Just type in your old log-in information and it will pop right back the way it was. But...

How does one close a FB acct.? I joined some 15-18 months ago, and within a week tried to "un-join", but never found that option. You have to go into your Security Settings. Then, look hard and you'll finally see a tab to close your account. Course, everything you've ever had up...

I have no bad feelings and sometime I think I have used the situation to my advantage in not obeying the Lord to serve. Just as with RD2, don't allow Satan to pile guilt upon guilt over something you should or should not have done. There is nothing you can do to change the past so just look...

Some are like wet concrete and can be molded while other are like the concrete that is all mixed up and permanently set. I have seen 29 year old men who act like old men. ...yes indeed. Attitudes have changed much over the decades and not really for the good. Back in my day the military...

When the passage was written typically women got married at the ages of 12-15 and men were much older. ...and we can assume that all men walked around with scraggly beards back then, no? (Not trying to argue) The "intent" at the time all scripture was written was not only appropriate for that...

RD2, we are to not be unequally yoked. I can imagine that if fourteen seminary graduates were asked to preach on this topic..., you would end up with fourteen different applications. When youth marry how do they know they are "equally yoked"? Well, they might both be Christians, Born Again...

A really intelligent person has a much more complex conception of God. It's self-evident that if the complexity of your God varies based upon the complexity of your intelligence, then the source of your God is your own imagination. (Reinhold Niebuhr) ...huh? While trying to appear...

righteousdude2, it would appear to me that you're still "afflicted" by the turn of events of over 35 years ago. I have often pondered things in my past. Things I said that I should not have said. Attitudes that I had. Times when I should have been friendly, but wasn't. Times I should have...

Thank God He was more powerful than the bullet, and He miraculously stopped the gun from discharging, and I came to my senses, repented and never looked back. My new wife and I will celebrate 32 years in May, and I'm back in the ministry, to some folk's dismay. Isn't it interesting to see...

I believe Paul is teaching that a elder/deacon must be a one woman man. jbh28, I agree with you completely. As stated earlier, The Controversy Rages On. "Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife... "Let deacons each be the husband of one wife," The...

The Bible says that a divorced person is no longer qualified to be a church elder. period. What's to question? The Word is quite specific, for sure. Don't we though on occasion approach the Word with a bias? A preconceived notion from early in life instruction, perhaps? I agree that one...

seekingthetruth, what if the wife of the (deacon or pastor) packs up and leaves? Is he still held accountable in that vein?

I'm so glad that God looks at the heart rather than our mistakes. Amen to that. You know, there is not one poster on this forum board that is not constantly bombarded with sin and/or otherwise have committed a ton of mistakes in their life. Not one! I'll admit that I am as described above...
