    Just Do Not Seem To Have The Motivation To Read The Bible Anymore?

    Hi Nano... I could say, "Been there, done that", but I won't...and I don't know your background, but since I was also raised Catholic; let me ask: .....1. Have you been born again?? and 2. Why are you reading the Bible?

    Increase my Faith?

    Thank you Enliven; that is a good point....and thank you for that scripture. I have been teaching a lot lately on the POWER of our words for those of us who have our faith in God and that scripture fits right in. " Re-phrase: ""if your faith (IN GOD) is the size of a mustard seed, you can say to...

    Good post; Satan as the prince of demons is referred to in Scripture as Beelzebub, meaning "Lord of the flies" . BTW, they feast on human & animal excrement.

    How many Christians will still vote for Trump?

    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who...

    Taking Up Serpents?

    As far as I'm concerned "newer and up to date" is a synonym for "less accurate and loaded with fallacies".....(just look at what is constantly coming across the "new and updated" technology called the "Internet") LOL....Older is usually more accurate and factual. BTW; I don't trust NASB any...

    Taking Up Serpents?

    Like I said before: "....that is also implied by Jesus when he said: " Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (Lu. 10:19) So I don't take them up...I trample on them. LOL

    Taking Up Serpents?

    That is the interlinear as provided by the New American Standard version. Here's the interlinear (from Bible Hub). http://biblehub.com/interlinear/mark/16-18.htm Apparently some of the Greek texts have it in and some leave it out.. In any event I can assure you I will not go around trying to...

    Do You Study, or Just Read The Scriptures?

    Thank you Far Out; I was also going to mention that in my previous post. When I want to go further in depth on a Scripture or topic....I always have a Strong's Concordance handy for the Hebrew and Greek...as well as the Interlinear, all of which are easily accessible on-line... Right again...

    Do You Study, or Just Read The Scriptures?

    I concur....It took many years of Bible study for me to realize the voice of the Holy Spirit and to rely on his wonderful illumination of Scripture to my mind....many times revealing wonderful things that only he could teach....and showing me error from which only he could spare me. I have come...

    Taking Up Serpents?

    However, having said that (about other uses of the same verse that refer to false doctrine), I want to say that the reference verse of the OP ("They shall take up serpents...") is not complete according to the Greek... The Greek text actually uses the phrase, "en tais chersin", meaning "IN...

    Me too....that is also implied by Jesus when he said: " Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (Lu. 10:19) So I don't take them up...I trample on them. LOL The power of the enemy is...

    Who are false Christians, false churches. false pastors?

    Pray for him and make sure what he is teaching is not biblical before you claim he is wrong. Then go to the Lord and ask HIM to speak to and deal with the pastor. I stopped going to services where a preacher in a main line denomination was teaching that Jesus had a racist problem. I prayed...

    Who are false Christians, false churches. false pastors?

    False doctrine can take many subtle or overt forms: Paul considered legalistic Christians "False" teachers...because they denied salvation by faith in Christ alone...and were bringing Christians into "bondage" by saying they were "justified by the works of the law" and by requiring them to be...

    Will God hold it against me if I dont hear his voice ; or am not led by His spirit?

    Concerning your "anxiety" , Scripture says: " He will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee (God)" . "Jesus said: "My PEACE I give unto you, not as the world gives, give I unto you...Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". Be blessed....

    Will God hold it against me if I dont hear his voice ; or am not led by His spirit?

    Yep; that's Him alright. He is more than willing to talk to His kids.. ANYTIME they want to hear from Him...He is always there and always ready to bless you and answer your prayers.... and I think you got it right about prayer....its not about talking ...its all about listening. "Blessed is...

    Will God hold it against me if I dont hear his voice ; or am not led by His spirit?

    Hi Far Side... The best way to HEAR God is to READ HIS WORD and let him speak to you . The Holy Spirit is always speaking to us....it is our responsibility to hear.... You sound like you are serious about hearing his voice .... just remember it is NEVER God's fault when we cannot hear... If you...

    Is belief in the creation story a salvation issue?

    You, Archivist, STILL haven't answered the question that both rsj330 and I have asked you: "Where in Scripture does it say Physical Death came long BEFORE Adam?"...as YOU CLAIM. Are you afraid to admit that Scripture DOES NOT say that?...If you cannot admit it, then you have failed miserably...
