It certainly is hard to do battle when you can't remember where you put your armour.Maybe t8 can loan me some of his? He looks well equiped these days!

Quote (Cindy @ Mar. 07 2009,05:57)theodorejThe scripture says,”blessed are the dead” that “DIE” from then on.How can the dead die and be blessed, and what means “from then on”?Obviously, the dead are dead, they don't die no more, so the dead that do die from “then” on can not be dead already, they are as Paul said in Col. 3:3. The reason they are…[Read more]

Oh, I wish there was complete deliverance from sin in this flesh…..ah….that would be HEAVEN!

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Mar. 07 2009,05:44)Hi, Many imagine that they can make Jesus their Lord by some sort of personal affirmation.Calling out LORD LORD does not make him our Lord but rather obedience makes us servants.Wise words, bro.And what are the things we should specifically be obedient to?

Welcome Mara!Your voice sounds familiar….I hear myself thinking some of the same things you have shared.Looking forward to hearing more from you. I have a few comments on your post, and will come back this evening and share them (I'm only briefly checking in now).So glad that you're here.Love,Mandy

Thanks for digging this post of David's up, Kathi.I'll study it tonight….Love,Mandy

If words mean anything…..Jesus is the Son of God (through conception with Mary), and he is the son of man (through the conception with Mary).For we are not told that “Jesus” was the Son of God prior to being BORN the Son of God. I believe we deduce that Jesus (the Son of God) is the “Word”, or the “Light”, or the “spirit Son”, or an “angel” or,…[Read more]

“Here we go'round the mullberry bush, the mullberry bush,the mullberry bush.Here we go'round the mullberry bush,with those who think they know the only truth…..”It goes something like that. ONE BOOK, MANY FAITHS.
