@KrisWampler In reply to your OP, I'll answer with a broad stroke of info because a lot of the answers are contained within the answer to the question I'd asked God while attempting to ask Him something that He would struggle to answer. (I was asking because I thought I'd take him up on the...

Pretty much agreed. It's even lacking an interesting detail about Absolom: "But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him." - 2 Samuel 14:25 KJV And polled means "cut". He...

"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." - Psalm 16:11 KJV Love in Jesus, Kelby

Before answering this let me just say that I appreciate the "real person" way that you present yourself. I got a kick out of the way you answered FaithWillDo "Dude I'm not reading all that".. LOL I'm sure I tend towards answering too matter-of-factly, but I'm finding value in expressing my...

That, and... God is truly forgiving. Even if you feel like you've failed him beyond belief, go to him anyway. He still loves you. (Jonah 2:8) Love in Jesus, Kelby

I might start by sharing this one: If you don't seek God until He answers, you'll go through life with nothing but your own understanding... and the teachings of men. (John 6:44&65; Proverbs 3:5, Matt 15:9, Mark 7:7) Love in Jesus, Kelby

My oldest biological son has a habit of starting conversations with "Teach me a life lesson." How would you answer that question to your beloved? Well, that's what this thread is asking. Share with us. ... "Teach us a life lesson." Please note: If the "lesson" you intend to share is...

Thanks. I thought that might be the intent but also considered other options. Love in Jesus, Kelby

I agree with most of what he said in terms of relative importance to the church. So far I like and use this analogy best: Which is better/greater... to feed yourself, or to feed others? Feeding others accomplishes more. But if you don't feed yourself, you'll die. So even though feeding...

@2ndTimothyGroup It's because the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. Blasphemy just means "speaking evil of or against"... It doesn't mean "disobedience against". WHY? Because the universe was created by WORDS spoken. Just because WE don't understand how powerful...

When it comes to things given by the Holy Ghost itself, and the person is somewhat non-supportive, it's probably representative of my standard next statement(s). So you're not a one-off. :)

When a parent says "Don't touch that stove!" (because it's hot) it's not a scolding for something they've already done. It's instructions on how to proceed in a way that will avoid unnecessary damage and pain. That's how I was saying it. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Did I say you HAD spoken evil... Or did I say "Don't speak against it"? (which is advice to be used when considering possible future actions)

Nope. I wasn't saying that. I don't want you to be one who does it later or at any time. Love in Jesus, Kelby

Peter and EVERY ONE of the 120-ish believers on the day of Pentecost when they were filled with the Holy Ghost "began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance". - Acts 2:4 ... EVERY ONE of them. And Paul did too. No matter how much we don't like those facts. Even though...

"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;" - 1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV Tongues is one of those things. BUT... I understand the idea of feeling wierded out by it. I've had...

Ok, I think I CAN just summarize: Once I got delivered from that crushing fear, etc. I couldn't wait to get back to work to really show them how it's done. (so to speak) So I come in to work Monday morning to hear someone tell me that now...I have a supervisor... named "Lily". I don't even...

What's that mean? Love in Jesus, Kelby

Anytime I hear something like that plan, I realize it can quickly turn into: leaning on the flesh instead of the spirit idolatry and a suggestion that God forgot how to speak, lead, guide, teach, correct, and answer prayers. BUT.... 2 things about that: Not everyone hears it that way and not...

Here's the basics: When I said I embraced "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me" I meant it. And I lived it. Until I fell...HARD. And for those who care to read it… Here's the more detailed account leading up to the collapse: I was doing so well at excelling in my work...
