Any sensable answers?

We are getting off the topic, I'll repeat my early post to try and get us back on track.After many years, my walk with God has taken me many miles, some pleasant, some unpleasant. In trying to find the truth of God, I found that not only could I not find God by my efforts, but that God had been directing my paths all along. He has revealed to…[Read more]

Hi Gene, Yes, I agree. They seem to think that mankind must save themselves by “accepting” God, that God is powerless to do what He wills, that is to save all mankind, because He can't overcome mans “free will”. My, what power mankind must have, that he can overcome Gods will, and choose his own destiny. Thank God that He has the power to do…[Read more]

terraricca.Quote you are misunderstanding this scripture; Also Eph.2:10 “For His achievement are we, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God makes ready beforehand, that we should be walking in them”.this is said to beleivers not unbeleivers; I can't believe your opinion, are you saying that unbelievers can't read Pauls…[Read more]

Isaiah 46:10 …Saying, All My counsel shall be confirmed. And all My desire will I do. 46:11 …Indeed, I speak! Indeed, I will bring it about! I formed. Indeed, I will do it. It seems some think “Gods will” is just a wish, or a hope He wants, and needs mankinds help to accomplish. Nothing is…[Read more]

Hi RokkaMan. May I give my opinion? Our God is a loving God, what you quote in Proverbs 16:7 may not apply to the present, but to the future. God is the saviour of ALL mankind, (1Tim.4:10 …that we rely on the living God, Who is the Saviour of all mankind, especially of believers). He will perfect all during this period of creation, giving…[Read more]

Anyone? There is so much disagreement on almost any subject posted on this forum, yet few will respond when asked… what is their opinion of “what is required for salvation”.I'll repost.1. What is absolutely required to be saved. Name all you think is required, that leaving any out will disqualify you.2. What is desirable, but not actually…[Read more]

Thanks RokkaMan, a kind word now and then sure beats the browbeating I get from Nick and Peirre, who seldom include scripture when they disagree with me.Many thanks, Jerry.

Terraricca. My understanding of Gods ways have scriptures quoted to prove what I write. I see no scriptures to support your views, yet you accuse me of falsehoods. Lets see some scriptures to prove those questions you posted, I'll bet you'll have difficulty doing so. Blessings, Jerry.

Pierre. Quote COjesus died in aprox; 30 AD the door for the gentiles was open 31/2 years later, the 4 gospels were written many years after that so your argument does not stand ,and you should change it. I agree, the Gospels were written years later, the writings are the history of Jesus life, recorded in words. This does not change the fact…[Read more]

Quote (terraricca @ May 31 2010,04:59)SFand this;Mt 18:4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”Mt 20:26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you mus…[Read more]

Hi SimplyForgiven. I read your post on “God maybe All in all”. I enjoyed it very much, you seem to be pointing in a direction that I have, and am still exploring, which is similar to the title you used. May I make a few comments on your observations in this post?Quote Paul writes as if Jesus was the creator.Yes He (Jesus) was the creator…[Read more]

Ro.9:16… Consequently, then, it is not of him who is willing, nor of him who is racing, but of God, the Merciful. Your opinion what this means.I will quote the verses before and after, so you won't say I only quote verses that say what I want it to mean. Here they are: Ro.9:14-24. You can read yourself if you need more.14 What, then, shall…[Read more]

Pierre. Sorrey, I forgot to mention that the subject is “All is of God”. Some of the scriptures of this topic are: 1Cor.8:5-7, 1Cor.11:12, 2Cor.5:18, Ro.11:36. I would be please to hear your version on what these scriptures mean, seeing as you think my version is wrong.God Bless.

Hi pierre. Of course I only quoted partial verses, I can't quote all of scrpture,the whole Bible. I, like anyone in this forum, quote what is relevent to the subject we are talking about. I would be interested in your version of scripture quoted, seeing as you claim my interpertation is wrong. I'm looking forward to your reply.Blessings.

Jodi Lee. Good post Jodi. In Romans 11:24-36…24 For if you were hewn out of an olive wild by nature, and, beside nature, are grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much rather shall these, who are in accord with nature, be grafted into their own olive tree!25 For I am not willing for you to be ignorant of this secret, brethren, lest you…[Read more]

Scripture is a “myth”?
