Thanks Valerie. I just separated it from a one paragraph to help me ponder each one of these. Sure makes me see I still have a long way to go in Dying To Self. However, I do see some progress God is making. I think Martin Luther King Jr. once said - “I may not be the man I want to be; I may not be t...

Many things I read are "Greek to me". I find myself at times reading Greek right here on this forum.

Some of my random thoughts on your OP, Sudsy. Some are really random :lol: none of them are nonnegotiable and definitive articles of faith. These are just my life experiences and observations.

By the time I was in my 20s, I didn't think God existed at all and certainly didn't feel, act, or think I was saved. In my 30s ...

In times past, God has raised up an individual to get the "brotherhood" out of a rut in their Christianity. Some church splits (i.e. Anabaptism) resulted in renewed interest in following Jesus. However, regardless of how we attempt to remake the church or not remake the church into our lik...

If I would put Paul's examples from these verses into one category (eating meat or not, esteeming one day over another), I would say they are examples of personal religious conviction sincerely aimed at pleasing God . A brother or sister doesn't eat meat because they believe this practice is what G...
