I wasn't speaking temporally. I was equating the appearance of two behaviors independent of order. What Moses did looked the same as the magicians because the magicians copied him. And I disagree on how the magicians did it. Yes there are many modern day magicians who use slight of hand - I...

People can use their talents with God or against Him.

It is strange to me that so many people like the smell of coffee because when I have a headache, I particularly can't bear it. Therefore I'm not to fond of it even when I'm well. Of course I am also repulsed by food coloring for basically the same reason. Until God healed me I got migraines...

Just an FYI, overcooked Brussels' sprouts become bitter and definitely belong on this list. That was my first experience of them when someone brought them to Thanksgiving as a kid. But properly prepared they can actually be quite good. The ones at a nearby restaurant are one of the few...

Definitively coconut water. At least whatever that brand was that we bought at Costco because it was cheaper. Lemons I can eat, but I can't help having an extremely distorted face when sipping the stuff. I once heard a Hispanic woman say that when she moved to Canada, the first time she ate a...

I am slightly amused by your reply (there wasn't a perfect emoji for that, though, so I did my best). I am disappointed that you would dismiss prophetic words that have been in several cases life-altering truths for me and others, but I appreciate both that you think for yourself and that you...

Actually I once asked God the difference between what His people do and witchcraft - I mean some of those things Elijah did sure look like it and Moses looked to do the same as Pharaoh's magicians except that Moses' snake staff ate the others, and He gave me a lesson by letting me accidentally...

Qualifies as an empath. A real empath is someone who can literally feel your emotions - you know possessing actual empathy, not just someone who can read your body and make an educated guess about what you are feeling. The latter is the way a spiritually blind and ignorant world tries to...

Oh? You take issue with God? How do you figure? I can't help but wonder if number 2 might apply here.

Short passages God has shared with my fellowship: Perfection is the goal; failure is the means. Simpletons think God is simple. Shoulds are sh*t. Fighting deception is deception. Truth without action is pointless. Action without truth is evil. God doesn't condemn you for falling. He...

Body movements? I know empath is the world's word for it but if it isn't the spirit being read I don't think the person qualifies.

You seem to be presuming things that were never said or intended. I never said anything about amazing grace or reward. Rather I only spoke of the gifts of the Spirit. Salvation, which is what I think you mean by 'amazing grace,' is a separate though not entirely unrelated issue. God frequently...

1 Corinthians 12-14 are all about the gifts of the Spirit. Everybody has a gift or gifts related to their being/calling, though they often aren't revealed immediately. For example, it wasn't for many years into my walk that God revealed my identity of being a Prophet, but there was a period of...

Apparently real estate investing isn't your thing. For me it was the family business.

You all make me thankful for what I've got. I've never been prone to breakouts and I seem to be winkle-resistant but I get sunburned even by my laptop if I don't wear a good sunscreen. And my face easily gets reddened from exercise or emotions. And when I tried the acne stuff my sisters used...

That's good news since God told us: "Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?" (Hebrews 12:7) And "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that...

Thank you again for the kind words and truly helpful example for comparison. While I hope people on the other side hear it too, it does help me along that line of having a more full picture of my own worth. And yes, small world. If the YMCA is honest in their intention to practice Christian...

Ballet teacher.

I am looking for a flying, time-traveling De Loren. However I don't think I could afford even a non-flying, non-time-traveling, non-driving one, so there is that. I am always looking for a unicorn. I am looking for an orange kitten with a good personality that I can have final say on medical...

Oh yes, you couldn't have an NES without the Super Mario Bros series. Too bad they didn't have saving back then, though. We would try to leave ours on for hours not to loose our progress. Probably helped wear the thing out sooner.
