Yes, we cannot obey Gods law in our own power. We have to learn to walk in Gods Spirit through faith. That said no one receives Gods Spirit if they do not believe and obey what Gods Word says (Acts 5:32; Acts 2:38; Acts 3:19). You might want to consider further that Gods Spirit is the Spirit of...

Yes I did. If you do not believe and obey what Gods Word says and continue in your sins and unbelief you will never understand Gods Words. This is because our sins separate us from God and His presence and we cannot understand God and His Word if he does not guide us and teaches us...
Anyone can find God if they genuinely want to (Jeremiah 29:13), but finding God is conditional on believing and obeying what Gods Word says. We cannot find God or know Him if we continue in our sins and unbelief. This is what separates us from him according to the scriptures (Isaiah 59:2). God...
Well, if it works for you to make you a better person, I can very much appreciate that. However, please do realize that approach is entirely subjective, not objective. What works for you may not work for many others.
That is beautiful
Let me use a biblical example… the woman who washed the feet of Jesus with her tears. She wasn’t obeying God’s word before but gave her heart to Jesus. In your understanding, did she qualify?
Love that too!
Believing Gods Word comes first and genuine saving faith leads us to obey what Gods Word says. (see Hebrews 11:6; Romans 14:23; Matthew 7:21-23; James 2:15-26)
Kenny can you rephrase this question? I am finding it a little hard to understand what exactly you are asking in this question here and...
Your response here...
No its not nonsense. You are missing the point again. God reveals himself to those who seek to know Him (Jeremiah 29:13) and not to those who seek to live their lives in sin and unbelief. Finding God according to the scriptures is conditional to believing and obeying what...
I am saying that according to the LORD, he does not listen to the prayers of sinners. He does listen to the prayers of the righteous, such as in the case of Elijah. Apart from that, you are on your own. You can make war on your own terms with depression and disease, for your "shepherds"...
According to the scriptures, anyone who teaches that anyone of Gods 10 commandments can can be broken is teaching lawlessness. Gods test to know if we know God or do not know God or if someone that claims to know God but does not know God is found in 1 John 2:3-4 where it is written in the...
Appreciate your post. But does not answer my post 646. We need to show a structure that is in rural setting, is opened and closed with stone, used for water for animals. Definitions do not help. We need to show such structure in Israel.
These ones aren't even in the region mentioned in Genesis, either, I just put them up as an example.

I've always wondered what the true meaning of those verses is.
So, while you have much to say about God and the Bible, what you have to say, is not the true meaning of the verse. The true meaning of the verse means nothing to you... as seen below.
I don't mean to gross you out...
According to the scriptures, If we acknowledge and repent of our sins and confess them to God we can receive Gods forgiveness of our sins as we choose to believe and obey what Gods Word says see Proverbs28:13; Acts 3:19; 1 John 1:9. God then promises to give us His Spirit to guide us and to...
According to the scriptures love is not separate from obedience to God's law which shows us how to love God and man from the heart (see Romans 13:8-10; James 2:8-12; 1 John 5:2-4; John 14:15 and John 15:10. This is why Jesus also says that on these two great commandments of love to God and love...
I think we talked about words in previous discussion, do we need to talk about it again?

Habakkuk is living in very difficult circumstances. God hasn't acted yet, and there is no sign that the fulfillment is just over the horizon. But he chooses to have joy because he knows God will act. This is an anticipative joy.
