    Couldn't find my keys....until

    I dropped my keys outside on the grass. It was dark out, with a couple street lamps and the moon as the only sources of light. When I used a flashlight, I found them. It reminded me of how a better source of light helps us find the keys. It's wonderful that our Father gave his light to the...

    Hosea 12:13-14:9 and John 1:51

    Heb.10:19-22 also shows that our Lord Jesus is truly God, as only God was behind the veil.

    Hosea 12:13-14:9 and John 1:51

    And all punishment from God isn't always because of the sin of a believer. Sometimes it's because a believer is being persecuted because of his faith and our Lord uses that injustice against the righteous, to teach us how he wants us to respond, as he responded from the cross, when injustice was...

    I agree. Your life sounds similer to mine with the winging roads and such. I'm finding that old road is straightening itself and I'm grateful for that. I vove the verse that says, He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. He will bring justice to all who have been...

    I never said I know your mind. It's not my responsibility to judge anyone. It is my responsibility to know the mind of Christ, what his will is for me and I do.

    The mind of God is the mind of Jesus. His mind is known by his Spirit, which he freely gives to anyone who wants to know him. I wanted to know him because a person who had his Spirit showed me the love of Christ.

    Oh absolutely we are being conformed into his image, which allowed people to spit on him. I can attest it's ongoing. It has taken me most of my life to have that kind of faith in him. And I still get attacked with that often. But the thing I can't get out of my heart, is that our Creator visited...

    God forsook himself...even for a one second? No. God viewed himself as sin? No.

    I don't think you ever responded to post #412, but the point of the Potter and the clay is, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so arey e in mine hand, O house of Israel. Jer.18:6 In vss.7-10, he tells us people...

    I think the problem is that theologians view Jesus as someone other than God.

    Jer.18 was cited by someone explaining how God forms clay. Please read Jer.18 Grandpa, and tell me how our Potter forms people.

    I believe God creates all people with the capacity to believe whatever we want. I believe God gives all people opportunity to believe in him.

    I agree. The ones disrespecting the blood of Christ are the ones who trod him underfoot. Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? Rom.2:4 Our Savior patiently enduring the vile sins being...

    God bless you also. It's sickening how Christs' sacrifice has been reduced to nothing. If people are saved regardless of what they come to believe through reason, then everything Jesus did is meaningless.

    The concept that from the foundation of the world, God decided people who would believe in him would be his people. As opposed to the nonsensical belief that God chooses people regardless of their will. It's like reading, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of...

    All calvanist heresy comes from misunderstanding the reason of our Lords' sacrifice. They think God wanted his Son to suffer for sin. They seem unaware that God wanted people to repent for causing the suffering they were putting his Son through. Calvanists don't really want to understand Jer.18.

    The same verse where it means, "whom he did foreknow"....he also didn't predestine to be conformed to his Sons' image. You see my friend? It's like when our Lord says, I never knew you Mt.7:23 We understand he doesn't mean he never knew them at all In Psa.53:1, David is speaking of foolish...
