KJV- 1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: just because something may seem to have some scientific or philosophical merit when we think about it with our finite reasoning......if...

the Bible doesn't teach this. this is why I want to know where he gets these ideas that would make such exotic possibilities worth considering.

KJV 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the...

I've been studying the Bible for, at least, 25 years and I've never heard this word. I know what Jesus can do and has done, but what, FROM THE BIBLE, gives you faith that MAN, in post-Revelation Christianity, where signs and wonders are not part of GOD's plan, can recognize when someone is...

put everything in GOD'S hands. if inspiration doesn't come trust GOD for it. you're trying but also GOD teaches us to wait on Him. GOD's timing is always perfect, even when it doesn't come as soon as we want. I've gotten tremendous peace, over many years, not only by doing my best, but...

I'm not sure it's a double negative because it refers to doing BOTH parts; declining the reading of the Bible, AND just waiting for inspiration................ but you may be right. my point is that our relationship with the Holy Spirit doesn't just fill us with all wisdom without diligent...

Can't say much after Psalm 143. Hope and pray you follow it. keep your expectations modest when fear has a hold of you. sometimes I made it through by the skin of my teeth;...................but trusting in GOD He saw me through some fearful situations.........................and my confidence...

Steve, Thank you for your gracious response. I think we have found some agreement. the thread-starter is getting prayers, guidance and encouragement. we all want and need that. we disagree on exactly WHAT she needs or can expect.................fine,......we're all learning and sharing...

before I would enter such a discussion can you tell me how one 'sees' a demon [they're spirit], and then; what procedure is approved for removal of said demon, and what test is there to confirm said demon has left ?

and if our works are needed then WE are the masters of our fate and captains of our soul ; not GOD.

Thanks for your response. if you believed defending someone was appropriate and pointing out my rudeness was appropriate I respect that. I would do the same [even though we disagree about my rudeness]. I, sincerely hope the original poster is legitimately led by GOD, strengthened by Him, and...

I don't think I was being judgmental. I deliberately introduced my response with a question : 'have you considered' . I can't judge from a short post in a free-flowing discussion everything in one's mind immediately, and so I posed a cautionary note to the discussion because I've seen so many...

I think you should proceed with caution. how do you know if GOD is giving you ideas or if they're your ideas. i.e., someone [hypothetically] couldn't not read the Bible and just wait for inspiration. GOD doesn't work that way. also GOD gives teachers. just reading the Bible without really...

KJV- Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

I've suffered life-threatening depression. didn't think I would make it through. fought it at one point for a decade; always just a step away, ready to pull me down into it's darkness and terror. I've simplified it and I don't suffer from it AT ALL anymore : I don't try to fight it so much...

Young's Literal Ephesians 2:8 for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift, 9 not of works, that no one may boast; Salvation is of GOD, not works [keeping commandents]. Good works FOLLOW Salvation.

said a quick prayer for you................hope it works out. a marriage is a precious thing.

society rewards men for persistence and not giving up easily; this is what makes CHAMPIONS. it's obnoxious when someone doesn't know where the line is drawn between that and futility or perceptiveness of someone's lack of interest. ...........just a possibility. many men [ including me]...

BEAUTIFUL !

GREAT POST.
