I think your artist friend and I have alot in common . I don't think I understand your last sentence....

I HATE alcohol. My husband was an alcoholic before we met, in his early 20's.....thank God, he overcame....

For those of you who believe and teach that it matters not what a Christian eats or drinks, can you explain how this passage fits into your thinking? Thanks in advance :). To me, that verse includes FAR MORE than JUST what we "eat or drink" as it contains the word "WHATSOEVER". How we dress, how we live, what we read, what we listen to, how much we eat (yes, I believe overeating is a sin). And to set the record straight, I do not believe I can WORK my way to Heaven at all. I just believe that the Bible says, JESUS SAYS, that if we truly LOVE HIM, we will strive to obey Him. And I believe it's IMPOSSIBLE to obey Him, on our own....but the Bible is very clear, WITH GOD, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE. He doesn't ask us to do anything that He won't enable us to do.

I don't believe these passages have ANYTHING to do with our diet... They have everything to do with the CEREMONIAL LAW. Have you forgotten about the verse ~ God would be speaking out of both sides of His mouth if here He tells to "eat and drink to the glory of God" and then tell us that it's OK to eat things that are not healthy in another verse....makes no common sense. But if you understand the verse you quoted as referring to the CEREMONIAL LAW, it all fits together perfectly.

How many died from the flu today? I'm sorry, but I don't believe the numbers....before Corona, lots of people were dying from the plain old flu....now, hardly anyone dies from the plain old flu and everyone dies from some strain of Corona. Just doesn't add up.

Thank you for sharing your testimony! I too, have a daughter who is a Nurse Practitioner....she was fine with the 1st shot and nearly died with the 2nd one!

I think this verse is pretty close to that

Prayer is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY! I believe it in LOTS of prayer

Here it is ~ YouTube removed it...it's on RUMBLE ~ https://rumble.com/vkwthx-dr.-dan-stock-testifies-at-mt.-vernon-school-board-meeting.html

Prayer is for sure a necessity! But it does not take the place of doing for ourselves what we can. I like that old saying, "God helps those who help themselves."

Riverwalker, I don't believe that a Christian who falls into sin on occasion is a "worker of iniquity". I think this verse sheds a little light on WHO is a "worker of iniquity". I think it teaches us that HYPOCRITES, those who claim to be Christians and following Jesus, OUTWARDLY, but in secret, when no one is watching, they are not living a Christian life.

What BEAUTIFUL & POWERFUL verses, Steve! Thanks for sharing!

All I know, that according to Moses, it was a "new thing"....something no one had ever seen or experienced before ~ the ground opening up and people disappearing....maybe an earthquake, maybe a sinkhole....whatever...a NEW THING.

I find that to be the EXCEPTION rather than the RULE :). I've never been in a place where the MAJORITY were correct.

I agree I don't expect that number to go up

Oh! I didn't realize that...so it's about LIKES, not about the number of POSTS/COMMENTS one makes? I didn't realize that. Thank you!

Thank you! That makes sense Appreciate your answer very much!

I understand that....I edited my post above yours and added this ~ Read a couple of the chapters previous...I think you'll find what I was saying. Numbers 16 is about the Conspiracy they were trying to concoct

Both these passages are telling us that when people die, they are buried in the grave and stay there until Jesus comes back and resurrects them. Paul clearly tells us that those who die DO NOT go to Heaven before those who are alive when Jesus returns...he says that those dead in the graves will be resurrected and they will rise up and meet Jesus in the air, along with those who didn't die, and all are taken to Heaven at the same time. That is my understanding of those passages. I so look forward to that day!

I love those passages. Perhaps reading it from a different translation makes it easier to understand?

And yes, I agree with this

Appy, I've read the story many times. There were 12 spies sent into spy out the land of Canaan, right? 1 from each tribe, right. Well, when they came back to camp after their spying, there were only 2 of them, Joshua and Caleb, who believed that God would bless their efforts and they would take out the Canaanites....all the rest of the spies, all 10 of them, influenced the Israelites that it was impossible to take Canaan....Korah, Dathan and Abiram were of the number that bought the testimony of the 10 spies, not the testimony of Caleb and Joshua. Korah, Dathan and Abiram were of the number who were destined to live in the wilderness for 40 years, and then die (as all adults over 20, that was their fate for their unbelief).... They didn't like that. They concocted this conspiracy theory that Moses had taken them out of Egypt (even calling Egypt the land of milk and honey) and that he intended to kill them all off and enrich himself with their goods. They were trying to start a rebellion. And God allowed the to manifest what spirit they were off, and then put them in their place. FYI, I'm not saying all the details are in that one Chapter, but if you put them all together, I'm pretty confident you would come to the same conclusion

So you believe that you will be taken to Heaven and escape alot of the horrible things that are going to happen, correct?

I see...I don't find any support for the Bible in that teaching.

I am trying to understand this chart....can anyone help me out? This morning, it said, I think, that I had 45 or 46 posts for the week...and today after posting at least 15 posts, I'm not at 39 posts for the week. How does this work? Thanks in advance for the help!
