True - I can agree with how you said it too!

Yes, God loves us before we love Him - that's what the Bible says! But great as that love is - i don't see scripture as saying it is equal with the love God has for a person when and if they choose to accept Jesus as Saviour in their life. I know that often, many sincere Christians explain...

I was doing a Bible quiz online. And one question asked who God loves the most. I saw my answer was different from the maker of the quiz. It's true God loves all people and wants all people to saved when and if possible. Yet, I see evidence in the Bible that those who haven't yet chosen...

Ok sorry - I didn't know that - I was only trying to make sure they could be easily seen.

Thanks for the emphasis! Yes, their question was a valid one. Yet, I know God miraculously provided for the people of Israel now and then throughout their history, in the times in which they hadn't turned away from God. I hadn't noticed before - that the land was to not be planted for 3...

Lev 25:3-4 3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; 4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard. KJV A preacher I...

Being literate or illiterate had nothing to do with it. Even illerate men became preachers in New Testament times. As for Joel's prophesy about both men and women to be prophesying - I don't see that the order for women not to preach or teach publicly prevents this - since prophesy doesn't...

It's not easy, I know - to imagine why others don't see spiritual things the way they do. So I understand the feeling. However, from experience and observation, I'm well aware that most Christians (even sincere ones) can't agree 100 % the same on all spiritual doctrines in the Bible. It...

Thanks a lot - I copied down your links and what they said. I do research on natural methods of healing a lot - online. I'm very careful to eat healthfully, and eat no processed foods. I am allergic to more foods than I used to by now - I'm age 61. So I'm on a very strict diet...

Thanks a lot for the links! I copied them both down - what they said. I look up things like this related to health and my health conditions a lot. I am very careful to eat healthfully.

A relative of mine recently recommended that I try fasting for a week. It had made her feel better in time past when she tried it. But though it may be good for some - probably it isn't good for others. Our bodies are all different. I have no tendencies for overweight, and am of normal...

Well, I guess we'll have to politely agree to disagree on the subject (a thing commonly necessary in view of how many different views even sincere Christians have on many Bible subjects. The important thing above all, is to not be purposely twisting scriptures (interpret with priority of...

I looked it up the other day. You're right - she never said in words that it was not as good as it would have been for a man to have done the job of judging that she'd done. But I thought it over in the night, and thought of the fact that to be a prophetess and to be a public preacher or...

I don't see the scriptures as approving of women doing any public type of preaching or teaching. Plus I see absolutely no examples of women being allowed to do any of that throughout both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Though, I'll agree that there were prophetesses in both the...

I think verse 11 might just be saying that women should not speak in church meetings without the approval of the man who is in authority over them - husband or father. That sounds reasonable and a good rule to me. However, I feel verse 12 certainly sounds clear in saying that in the case of...

Thanks for the Youtube link! I listened to him, just now - explaining why the so-called book, "The Book of Enoch" - is not to be trusted with the same level as the Bible - and how it also contains some heresies! He sounds like an interesting discusser of spiritual things - I'll have to try...

Thanks for the advice! I'll tell him what you said, and will look some for him too. He wants to sell in bulk amounts, I now know. The reason must be because he feels unable to pay shipping costs otherwise.

Yes, we all need to seek to interpret all scripture as correctly as we know how to, and if we don't - it means we don't have a right relationship with God, as it shows a lack of wholeheartedness in obedience towards God. On the other hand we can't expect all sincere Christians to be able to...

I think women need to do what feels comfortable with them, plus keep in mind how others there may react. And be willing to refrain from speaking if one's don't respect that. At least if the majority don't respect it - it would be uncomfortable, could make men have a wrong view of them - I...

I respect your views on this, but as you see, we differ somewhat on it. The important thing is to sincerely do one's best to interpret all scripture as correctly as is possible. There will never be perfect agreement on all spiritual things until we get to heaven. But God sees our hearts...
