Annie, I won't even pretend to know what you mean by hitting rock bottom, but I can tell you for certain that you should not try to learn about God without the help of others. Going it alone will more than likely result in another failure. Becoming a believer and gaining knowledge usually...

Without faith, I would say that the person is not converted. They remain as they are – without hope! I just believe that the heart must be renewed, (the Spirit must work in you), before you can receive the word of God and put your trust in it. Only then can you know, that even though you are...

I agree that faith is a requirement for salvation, I'm just not sure it's a requirement for conversion. PS, I like you new picture but at the same time miss the childhood photo!:)

I must admit that I am reformed in my belief. The above statement is not intended to provoke an argument. It simply states who I am and always will be. Since becoming a Christian, I have come to my own personal conclusion – that to be otherwise attempts to rob God of His glory, even though I...

At last count I have less than 200 posts. Could you please look back and find one where I claim scripture must harmonize! Not that I think this is a bad thing, but I'm sure that you won't find one.....

By the time you get through eliminating the words of all the apostles, there will not be anything remaining in the Bible other than the old testament!

Wow! I'm at a loss for words!:confused::confused::confused:

Since this was just Paul's opinion, should the entire book of Romans be ripped from the Bible?

I rest my case!

I stand by my posts and do not need a lawyer! Especially against someone who is so puffed-up and full of themselves. My prior posts simply claim that although I am forgiven I mourn the fact that I continue to do that which is not pleasing to God! It is you that take my comments and twist them...

I guess we see this differently! I know that I am still a sinner and I grieve the fact that this is so! It makes me mourn the fact that Christ had to endure the cross for such as myself. It makes me wonder how many times I sin and don't even realize that it happened. Maybe this is a thorn that...

If I claimed that I was no longer a sinner, then I would be a liar - just as the Bible says!

I certainly did, but not until my heart was ripped out and replaced with a brand new heart. I hope you experience the same some day.

Strange that you should mention that, because I would put myself into the reformed camp of belief. I also consider myself among the elect! I did not choose to follow Christ, He chose me! However, that being said, I still consider myself a sinner...........

Every believer is a work in progress. Yes we have submitted to the Spirit. He has given us a new heart. Have we been perfected? ABSOLUTELY NOT! We do not cease to sin when we become Christians! We are being sanctified day by day. Yes, we grieve the Holy Spirit because we have not yet been...

The Axe Head Recovered 2 Kings 6:5 5 But as one was felling a log, his axe head fell into the water, and he cried out, “Alas, my master! It was borrowed.” 6 Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, he cut off a stick and threw it in there and made the iron...

Well what can I say! I was wrong! At approx 1:45 pm today, North Texas did receive a total eclipse of the sun! It was mostly cloudy, but the sun would come out occasionally. It was a remarkable experience! This is the 1st time that I have been able to see a total eclipse and I am thankful...

Our faith in Christ comes by way of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit who removes our heart of stone and replaces it with a heart of flesh. This work prepares us to receive the word of God in belief. Without this work, we will remain spiritually dead and without hope. This is so important that...

I guess your right! I did push this idea. However, I must blame your picture for putting the idea into my head :sneaky: But, you did it! I'm not sure that I could do that. Just getting on the roof of my house make me dizzy!

I knew you were adventurous! No wonder you have decided to start your own baby food company! Have you noticed that Gerber is beginning to panic?
