Also…. Describe for me what this “power like electricity” is.Thanks.

Interesting!

Terraricca, (and Mike).When we pray, is God with us, or is God a long way away, what is your opinion?

Hi WJ,I have said the same thing to other members here (including Terraricca!) – so please do not take it personal.A Christian man's walk with God is his own.

Terraricca,Psalm 139:Even when read in its context: The spirit of God in that chapter is God's presence.

Quote Wow! Now I know that there are many who do not even know him!Hi WJ,I would not say that other Christians do not know God judging by their christology ALONE. That is not for US to judge.  Jesus said to beware of false prophets (Matthew 7:15) who appear to us in “sheep clothing”, but inside are “ravenous wolves”, and that we would know them…[Read more]
