Amen Quaffer, for to have that gift and to cultivate it requires that you have an ear tuned to the voice of Jesus, and not the voice of the situation or circumstance or person you are with. Out of this may grow the ministry of a Prophet which requires implicit obeadence to that voice. " And I...

The Gifts are, well, gifts and they are God's to give. I have personally seen at least one bona fide miracle which came about due to a massive amount of prayer by many people in a certain state. A severly developmentally disabled boy with many birth defects was completely restored. It was...

No, i wasn't even thinking of that verse, I was thinking generally thru scripture starting with the choice God gave Adam and Eve in the Garden: that of obedience/disobedience, then Noah, Abraham, Moses, Isreal, they all individually and corperatly had the same choice. On into the New Testament...

This is a difficult and mindbending subject: one that has been wrestled with from the start. Just read Job. Somethings are just not ment to be grasped with the intellect. " I have heard of thee with the hearing of my ear but now my eye seeth thee." Job  Since Reformationist stole my...

Yea. the Bible, I'm looking at Jacob -- Israel , Jerusalem -- Zion. and thinking about that. along with my other meditations as I read. then.... A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce Dubliners by James Joyce Genius by Harold Bloom and the Lord of the Rings with my...

And, I don't consider it a joke it's the truth every thing will be settled when Jesus...

rize; my own personal opinion, which counts as far as most opinions do. is that I am Pan-millenist, I believe everything will pan out in the end when Jesus comes back. God Bless Pete

Concerning the "thorn" of 2 Cor. 12: the Greek word is skolops, it refers to a pointed stake, on which people were impaled. gruesome, huh. Paul was speaking about a bodily affliction, one that pierced him through body, soul, and spirit, physical ill-treatment or a physical disability is the...

It's the "not to be taken serously" part that has gotten us in trouble in the Church today. Because there is so much "not to be taken serously" in our culture today we some times take the things of God and treat them as common when they are holy. Now ,mind, I am not one of those who is so...

Question: How is this movie any different than "Oh, God" ? Not much. Hollywood is run by unsaved, unrepentant, heathens. why should we be suprised. God Bless Pete

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. ... The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord...

Third Day is great, but right now I'm listening to "Angel Band" by the Stanley Bro.s  God Bless Pete

The Statement was made: There is more about money than any other subject in the Bible. I wish I could find all these verses every one is refering to. I find more about Jesus than money. When it comes to tithing or giving or whatever you call it. What is in your heart and where your heart...

Hey all: Great posts they have given me much food for thought. I had a thought the other day as I was meditating on the First mention of Tithing, Gen. 14 and the Last mention Heb. 7. Both are basically the same story. Abraham giving tithe to Melchizedek King of Salem. Hebrews 7 Is the Holy...
