Amen health. The author is the greatest source for answers. I am a slow learner and my biggest concern is miss leading. When I'm learning I want to know the truth, there is so much false information that can get passed around and it can be confusing. You are 100% correct, seeking knowledge is best to come from the author. Another concern I have is interpreting God's word wrongfully. That's why I go to my pastor, for help. I'm not the brightest bulb but I'm not that dim either. Like memorizing versus, flash card or writing it down and things like this are not working for me. It is a struggle I have. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I love the lord and want to always be making sure I am learning his word correctly.
Like the rapture. There are versus people use to support pre, mid, and post. I am believe in pre. From what I have read and understand. But in the end I also believe it will happen but in God's timing and if we are faithful then we are ready when he does come. And yes I do know there are forums discussing this topic but it gives me a headache with the back and fourth bickering on who's right. Yet it is topics like these that I want to make sure I have learned and understand God's truth.
Thank you though for your patience and understanding. It's has been hard to have a moment with pastor one on one.

I know what you mean. That forum is full of debate. I usually avoid it too. Good idea.
You're very humble. Don't sell yourself short. You are very well spoken and probably a good reader. If you start at Genesis and it won't take long to get to chapter 18. Or go to the gospel of John and think about how Jesus responded to the Pharisees as opposed to other sinners. Whenever I sit down with my Bible, I try to remember to ask God for help understanding. That makes it much better.
Have a good safe weekend.

Well thank you health. My readings fine it's just locking in the versus in my mind. The way Jesus spoke to the pharisees was with great authorities. I do wonder if Nicodemus was saved or if he choose to remain living as a Pharisee. I almost think he ran up to the line of salvation but stopped before committing. I know that's between him and the lord but I do wonder.
I pray you have a safe and wonderful weekend as well. I am thankful for our talks that we are able to have from time to time.
God bless you health

Not really sure about that....
That likely means that you are looking in all the WRONG places.
I stand firmly by what I said previously.
There are more choices and opportunities now than ever before. There are literally millions of available choices afforded to anyone truly interested in forming a marital relationship. Once upon a time your choices were limited to dozens....and people still fell in love and married. Today with literally a million choices available you still can't find one?
If you can't find one acceptable in a group of a million....then Ocams Razor applies.

I started to memorize verses that seem especially relevant for now. Like Phil 4:6-7 the 'Don't be anxious about anything but instead pray about it and we'll have God's peace one'. I may modernize it up a bit but I'm always passing this Scripture around, since discovering it😂. Also, Mk 11:23-24, about speaking to a mountain (problem,etc) telling it to move and it will IF we don't have doubt, is a great one to use. "By His stripes we are healed' 1 Pet 2:24 was an easy one for me and I use it a lot. Sometimes I memorize half at a time and that helps me too, I even surprise myself sometimes, lol.

I disagree. Just because you want something, doesn't mean God wants you to have it too. I knew of a couple who badly wanted their own children. They tried and tried and had to come to the conclusion that God simply said 'no'. He does that sometimes. Genies might grant your every wish, but our Father's no genie.

Of course Solomon had no problem, but then in those days there was apparently no limit.
I think in most countries and in churches you cant be polygamous unless you are FDLS. I find pastors are not too interested in the love loves of their congregations unless its a really small sect and they want more members in which case it might be a step away from becoming a hippie commune.

what struck me in the Bible was how Jesus warned what it was like in Noahs day they were marrying and being given in marriage and the flood came, then he also compared it to Sodom and Gomorrah where nobody was actually getting married but doing whatever and whoever they pleased and it was struck down by hellfire and brimstone.
I dont think anyone gets more points for being married or employed or having children or not at this point when your very soul is at stake.
All your wordly concerns are going to pale when you face your maker.

Yes Gojira, 🙂 sometimes you just have to say to each his own and leave people with their own opinions, especially if they're being stubborn about it. These days if someone tells me the sky is pink, but I'm seeing its blue I dont stress to debate, discuss or argue.... I simply say ok with a smile 🙂 and move on. Have a blessed and awesome day Dearie ☺☺☺
