Thanks, MollieSue... very sweet of you!

Ahhh... the good ol' days. Lots of heated conversations back then regarding our faith... But there was such an essence of love...

Hello, brother Jim. Wouldn't it be great if someone could lay this terminology down in simple language? For even the novice to understand. We follow the premise that we pray/say what we hear the Father speak or we do/act upon what we see the Father do. More often than not, as we pray...

Thanks, Sue. This, more than anything, is what I have been contemplating the past week or so. Do we really know the Love of God on earth? I mean, other than some dry, crass theology. If we knew His Love without any restrictions, we would fall hopelessely "head-over-heels" in love with...

Moriah~ I agree with your post, however, I was not suggesting that God uses fear to keep sin out of heaven... My series of questions are aimed at understanding why, if the love of God keeps us from sin in heaven, then should it not do the same while on earth?

Are you suggesting that my questions are foolish and I am striving about the law? :confused:

If it's God's Love that keeps sin from us in heaven, then wouldn't it be the same while we are on earth? Why or Why not?

Just something to ponder... What do you think? The pre-eminence of God's Love? Maybe fear and retribution?

My 13 year old son has given accurate words of knowledge to people in our congregation and to total stangers... the proof is in the pudding, chap. Things that only those people and God would know. Is he "gifted" in some way? I'd say "yes" in the sense that he's filled with God's Spirit and...

Not very healthy... but thank God for spam! Fried, baked (with potatoes and cheese), grilled, you just can't go wrong with the stuff.

The only way I can stomach it is if it's over-cooked (a little past crispy) in the microwave. The turkey hot dogs are a little "off" as well... But, hey, beats the heck out of eating hummus on a celery stick any day...

Absolutely beautiful, Sumo... And Father does love us so!

When I heard Sheasby tell the story of the husband, he said the husband had gone back to drinking... :confused: Not that there's any difference between the two... ;) Sheasby explained to the wife that husband had quit because of her, not because of his relationship with God. With...

The OT is a foreshadow... the NT is a BETTER COVENANT. Grace operates through God's established Covenant. Better sacrifice... Better promise... New Covenant. The New does away with the Old... now that's in the Bible!!!

That's generally because they misunderstand mercy as much as they do grace... there certainly is a difference.

I missed the part where the mind is cleared. The mind should be quieted. Just like a child at a movie theater... they need to be subdued in order not to be a distraction. But they still exist. I think you're looking for something that doesn't exist... or maybe making it more complicated...

All sin is intentional/willful...

Colossians 2:6 - Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him... (MKJV) The Weymouth NT reads: As therefore you have received the Christ, even Jesus our Lord, live and act in vital union with Him... How did we receive Christ and His Eternal Life? By Grace alone...

Once again... we become actively passive (pursue to be still and know that He ALONE is God), that we may become passivley active (doing works 100% in His strength)...

If we rely upon ourselves to hear God's voice, we will hear ourselves... The grace of hearing God's voice comes from the Lord Jesus Himself.
