Absolutely, EVERY day we choose to be tempted..we are sinful humans. This time of year is HUGE for us either knowingly or unwittingly stumbling into temptation. The simple act of going shopping for gifts can tempt us with pride to get accolades for picking the "perfect" gift, covetousness for...

So...concerning Israel.... Is there scriptural and/or cultural significance to the capitol being moved back to Jerusalem?

Praying for Cathy. OK, I will go as far as agreeing that the DIVINITY of Christ was in existence from the beginning, sure... Melchizedek could have been an example of that divinity...buttttt.... Melchizedek could have only been "made like the Son of God" if there was already the Son of God in...

The PERSON is described as eternal, or the PRIESTHOOD?... Hear me out lol... If Melchizedek had no end of days of LIFE, then he would still be alive, right?... But then we wouldn't have needed Jesus to come in the flesh because Melchizedek would still be here? I'm thinking of it more concerning...

It's an interesting interpretation for sure, and it's so... Weird.. how Melchizedek seems to come from nowhere and tell us somethung, just not quite sure what.. But this popped up in my brain, this verse specifically catches my eye. Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having...

I would have to look closer at this section to find that answer for certain..... Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not...

No. It is an example of a "type" of Christ, a comparison per se, an "order".... It was to emphasize the fact that the soon to be Levitical priesthood would not be sufficient in the long run... Melchizedek having "no father or mother, etc" is symbolic of the fact that the Levitical.priesthoid was...

Thank you all for your prayers... It means a lot to us at this time. A lot of questions as usual, but I'll ask those at another time, when things have settled and had time to study a few subjects.... On the topic of "riches", this is my verse for the day.... Keep deception and lies far from...

I'm asking for prayers for my family and loved ones to endure and God to comfort us as we lost a family member to suicide. Please pray for us to do God's will through this. I'm not sure what His plan is, but we need all the help we can get. Thank you all and make sure to make that phone call...

Absolutely, Kelsey, you and your family are in my prayers.. You know, that ease of learning g you have is a gift; use it wisely, don't squander it ;) lol OK mommy speech over... As far as cars and stores, etc.... I think that's a "Western" view, that is, American. If I took you on a trip to...

I agree @KDOGG331 .. it seems hypocritical, but then it always makes me stop and think about my own choices and actions... And I respect his decision to stand by his faith and we do not put up a tree etc, and he honors my request to spend the day with my family, who do have a tree. We work it...

Thanks LG... I know, I know lol.. it's been a long strange year for us ;) I had finally decided to quit trying to "coerce" the truth and decided to just live it and see where that would lead instead. I know I'm never going to MAKE someone believe, but it's just so sad to me. To know the truth...

I have an odd question... If a person believes that they will lose their salvation by going to a church that has different views, like, say, a piano or a cross on the building,.... Lol I don't know how to put this into words at the moment, sorry ...... how do we help them rely more on Jesus and...

Exactly! I especially feel the need to highlight this verse... And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I WILL make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. Matthew 4:19‭-‬20 NASB http://bible.com/100/mat.4.19-20.NASB (Emphasis added) WILL make you fishers of...

That's a major call to repentance in my eyes..... As far as Isaiah, they were heading straight for exile... Their punishment for repeated blatant disobedience. But a remnant WAS saved. Same in Matthew, some hearts were definitely hardened, but others were opened, and a remnant was saved and...

@PeepersMama Oh wow do I know how hard that is!!!! I had the perfect devotion on that the other day! I needed it badly that day, I might add... Curbing my tongue has been at the top of my list of behavior "modifications" that I'm slowly learning to handle a little better, with the grace of...

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15‭-‬17 NASB http://bible.com/100/eph.5.15-17.NASB We need more time... Honestly, times...

Praying for your SIL in her recovery, and for those affected by the weather conditions.

I read a bit a while back about that, in Buddhism and Hinduism... The problem with that is most of them think it's a good tjing, but don't understand that their belief in reincarnation is actually a PUNISHMENT. A follower of those false religions think they will be continuously reincarnated...

I believe they go hand in hand. God showed us his love through sending Christ to suffer in our place, to forgive us.... I can't actually say I love others if I won't forgive them. And forgiving thrm is how that love is manifested... That's a tricky catch 22, like they're the same thing but...
