Reading the whole Bible again and again and again is essential. No amount of reading even good devotional books or other good Christian literature can take the place of reading the Bible itself repeatedly and entirely for ourselves. A verse for the day on an app, etc. is not enough.

In another thread, additional corrupt communication was recently directed toward me: I found these remarks to be highly objectionable, especially since (in spite of the use of "if") there was an implicit suggestion that perhaps I have been involved in criminal activity ("The local law...

For the record, and so that no one else has any questions, the information that I provided in a previous thread about the objectionable drumheads has nothing to do with me personally. It was information from a missionary biography about cannibals in Irian Jaya. The nature of the comments in...

You do not provide any Bible to back up these statements. Are they true simply because you say so? As I have already proven in another thread, just because the Bible does not talk against something directly, that does not prove that speaking against it is merely a matter of "personal...

The Spirit through Paul confronts people in Romans 14 who were wrongly judging other believers about certain matters, but the Spirit *does not* inspire even the apostle Paul to declare that those believers who were in fact wrongly judging other believers about certain things were *not legitimate...
