I just love my KJV (Holman - great translation notes) + the Apostolic Polyglot, Interlinear based on the Majorit MS NT, and Septuagint OT.
Much love!

I find I completely lose focus on such things as "Decretive", "Prescriptive", and "Permissive" Will of God, when I am solely focused on God, and walking in His Spirit.
In the enjoyment of God's love and presence and holiness and all He does for me, there seems to me to be only one will of God...
Hi all, just jumping in late . . .
I'm of the view that Paul is elaborating on the conflict he mentions in . . .
Galatians 5
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and...
I think we need to come to understand that God's ways really are what we want. We are used to working and working and working for what? But God wants us to let Him do the heavy lifting, the Work - ergon, and we put that all into our lives, work out your salvation - katergadzomai, perform it...
Isn't it amazing how these sorts of things the world calls tragedy can bring us into God's peace and love?
"You shall keep him in perfect peace, who's mind is anchored on You." Isaiah I think.
What a great testimony!
I think that when we find ourselves so completely weakened by these things...
That's just it, Kylie, science is supposed to be "what we know". What data do we have that tells us this is actually how the gold in the earth was formed? I could accept that or not, it seems arbitrary to me without actual data.
For me, we're dealing with a subset of a much bigger question...
No, I can't comment on the science, I'm not knowledgeable in that area.
I don't discount the science, I have no problem thinking that there may be gold being formed as a byproduct of stellar activity.
I don't see the relevance towards whether or not the gold on earth was formed this way.
It...
Hi Kylie,
I don't have an issue with the science, since I don't understand it sufficiently. But I can stipulate it is correct, I don't mind. But what I question is the underlying supposition that "if it happened that way today over there, that means it happened the same way then over here."...
I've thought that the purpose of the parable was to say, You have to be ready before He comes, because when He does, it will be too late if you aren't.
Much love!

I'll say too, lots of good things already written, I'll add just this, that sexual sins are different in that they are committed against our own body.
I think this is referring to the fact that sexual activity build neural pathways in the brain that strongly reinforce that activity.
The very...
Perhaps I should have quoted the place? :idea:
I Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
This was the place I was...
Hi SnS,
That's my life! Much to do, little time, less strength, what to do next?
I find that the more overwhelmed with life I am, the better I trust God, and the better my life is.
Much love!

I've stored supplies, but I know it may be to hand them to my neighbors, or to feed my wife and I. Don't know yet. Have to see what happens, and what our Father wants.
Much love!
