Thanks for the nice words. I have been given a good measure of wisdom because he's taught me from a child how to seek his face and pray successfully. That's not being said lightly. God has taught me directly (meaning directly speaking to me and helping me ask questions the correct way) and...

@BroTan please forgive me for laughing @ Snacker's comment, and talking off-subject. Love in Jesus, Kelby

I once almost said "I have no problem believing Calvanism as long as they understand that the very first people he refused to choose were 'Calvinists' " . Just thought you might appreciate knowing that. :)

LOL! :)

Hi Magenta:) I've been out doing this stuff in the real world.. and taking some time out to seek God more earnestly... and have dealt with a lot at work...etc. I haven't died or disappeared. lol :) How are you? How have you been? what's up? etc. :) And Thank You for noticing and...

Hi @The_Watchers_2017, I've not seen enough of your posts to know who you are or where you stand on things, but I like your ability to grasp similarities between believers, (i.e. Moses & John) and to note the consistency of how God deals with people who are willing to believe He can show them...

@blue_ladybug ... Per @BeeBlessed 's post, I (and I assume others) WILL be praying for you. :) Love in Jesus, Kelby

From what I understand of the situation, the 3 days and 3 nights part is significant NOT because it was a fulfilment of a prophecy regarding the messiah, and NOT because it was a fulfilling of one of the commandments. It is important specifically because it is not either of those two. Which...

It is. Ephesians 3:20 says that [God] "is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," & 1 Corinthians 2:10 says "the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." The problem is that most churches don't even believe...

I just re-read this whole thread and I still like your posts (especially #39) the best. As men (humans, both male and female) we tend to look at things from just our own point of view... AKA "Now that I'm here, what is my purpose?". But that falls short of what was being asked.. which is...

Otherwise the next verse would be of none effect. "Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is." Mark 13:33 Love in Jesus, Kelby

Because he was walking in the role of Son at the time... and that information is not given to those walking in the role of Son. Here's a true story: I was once Mayor of my city. During the same time period I was also a Homeowner who needed a building permit. As a Homeowner, I was required to...

Many call themselves Christians. Does that mean they all have they have the Holy Ghost? Can you tell when they have (or haven't yet) received it? Because even Simon (the new believer) in Acts 8 could tell when other believers received the Holy Ghost (by simply watching it happen.) Love in...

I'm not sure what you're intending to convey by that verse. I know Paul was trying to convey that when someone is speaking BY A SPIRIT in a spiritual gift such as in PROPHECY, DIVERSITIES of tongues, or INTERPRETATION of tongues, you can use that test to discern which type of spirit the...

Not sure how to address your suggestion of a lack of thoroughness in my study without pointing to a lack of thoroughness in your own. (And it almost unavoidably sounds argumentative to do so) My study has led to the conclusion that the Bible refers to the Spirit as BOTH it and He... which is...

Took a minute to decipher the acronym. Thanks for posting. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Many people do not know who/what the Holy Ghost really is, or how to recognize his presence (or lack thereof)...even in themselves. Yes, that is a bold statement. Perhaps you even think it is wrong. But the bible shows that one person (or group of people) CAN discern whether another person (or...

I just stopped in because i wanted to praise and thank God for everything he's been kind enough to show and teach me. And also to add how he's used me, too. I appreciate seeing him use others, but it seems to do something extra when you see him do it in you. Makes you think "I must not be...

Hi MaryM, Welcome to the BDF! Atheists come because even if they don't want God, they still want to talk about something important...and they know God is important. I'd asked God why they come if they hate God, and that's what he told me. Love in Jesus, Kelby

If you can look past the joking nature of my previous posting... IMO, I think lukewarm means something along the lines of not trying very hard, not taking a stand (one way or the other), trying to offend no-one, hiding your light under a bushel, being salt that has lost its flavor, or hiding...
