  1. No, God does things as quickly as they can be done.
  2. Perhaps the Lord wants that person to make a change in their life.
  3. I like this verse from the Bible: Pray constantly. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 RSV.
  4. You want to add extra burdens in addition to the ones the Lord laid upon us?
  5. We have two great commandments to follow: Love the Lord with all our hearts, minds, and souls, and love our neighbors as ourselves. If you obey these two commandments, you are a Christian, I believe.
  6. I wouldn't make too big an issue of whether or not you are "born again." The issue is doing what the Lord told us to do. If you are doing what the Lord told us to do, what is there to worry about?
  7. But you aren't supposed to have as serious symptoms if you've been vaccinated. My life has hardly change at all.
  8. I'm wondering why you don't go to church and mix, seeing as how you are vaccinated.
  9. If we want to be purged of our sins, we should stop sinning.
  10. We have one teacher: But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. Matthew 23:8 RSV
  11. I don't have the patience (or time?) to read long posts.
  12. I doubt there's anything important, in the books left out of the Bible, that isn't already in the Bible.
  13. I believe hell is the misery we feel from the consequences of our sin.
  14. It would seem to me the Lord would like some public recognition for what he does for us. I don't see how you do that if you don't go to church.
  15. If you have Windows Movie Maker in your computer, you can make a "video" (or "slide show") by attaching a picture to a sound recording. Then post it on YouTube and start a thread here with a link to it. If you want to make a real video, download the free Audacity software and record the music, while at the same time making a video with your camera of yourself performing the music. Then, using Windows Movie Maker, add in both and synchronize the two. To synchronize, you need to use the mouse to adjust the music and video so they are lined up perfectly. Then leave the audio from the sound recording on, while turning off the audio from the video you made with your camera.
  16. I'm not disagreeing with the scripture. I'm disagreeing with the commentary.
  17. Obeying the Lord's commandments keeps us out of trouble.
  18. Or put another way: So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ. Romans 10:17 RSV I guess Paul is telling us that we acquire faith from what we are told. But we don’t magically absorb what we are told – we must listen.
  19. We don't get left behind when we walk with the Lord.
