As a follow-up, Bob III is re-marrying in March.

Will count it a privilege to pray for you in this matter.

Heb. 6:4-6 "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing...

Absolutely!

Over the years he was one of the few I could reflect back on and say definitively "I learned [this] from Thomas Cassidy", therefore justifying what too often was time-wasting. My heart hurts with those grieving his passing, but rejoices in a Savior who finds the death (home going) of His saints...

My wife is out of town so I find myself watching more TV than normal.  Re-runs of the original CSI (Las Vegas) were on ION earlier this week.  One such program was following the evidence for a series of deaths where the common denominator was a tattoo parlor that also did piercings, splitting...

Had some new questions posed to me the other day.  Are believers during the period of Great Tribulation baptized as are obedient believers during the present church age? Is there the celebration of the Lord's Table for believers during that time?  Those who believe during the tribulation...

II Thess. 2:3-9 "...Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in...

David was affirming in his practice what he believed in his heart--Gen. 9:5-6 followed by the specific applications given in the Law--that God had established human mechanisms (government, justice systems, etc.) to execute judgment, human mechanisms that he was not at liberty to usurp.  It is...

I'm changing my title from Anchor to Buoy, or Flotation Device, or something similar. This is the third 1000 year flood that I have enjoyed.  Seems like 1000 years isn't as long as it used to be. :-X Oh well, life is still good; God is still in control; and water still runs...

It was not a quest for the negative effects of gluttony.  Those are obvious enough from Dt. 21:18-21 "...our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice: he is a glutton , and a drunkard. And the men...shall stone him with stones, that he die...".  The negative effects of gluttony...

In reference to the OP here is what I think is the answer to the question "What does biblical gluttony look like?" (3) It looks like Hophni and Phineas       (a) I Sam. 2:12 FF ??Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the Lord. 13And the                      priest's custom...

I understand where you're coming from and appreciate it.  However, is there any biblical evidence that gluttony caused their being "fat"/"heavy"? We know that Lot's incest was a direct result of his being drunk; that Nadab and Abihu's demise resulted from their deviant worship; etc.  What I'm...

Might have missed on the "examples FROM SCRIPTURE" qualification, but thanks for playing.

Doing a study on gluttony.  What are some definitive examples of someone being a glutton [b]from scripture[/b]? The prodigal from Luke 15--"...wasted his substance in riotous living"--may fit the bill of the "riotous men" of Prov. 28:7 or "riotous eaters of flesh" of Prov. 23:20. Any others...

My take, which has some depth of knowledge in a number of individual cases, is that when they ceased the struggle concerning their immorality (i.e., justified their activity at least in their own mind) then they changed their previous identifiers in order to ease the internal conflict. ...

An observation from a guy that has seen a lot of ministries over a lot of years:  when there is a dramatic, relatively sudden shift in a ministry (particularly church) practice in the important (not necessarily doctrinal) periphery issues that still identify  the ministries' philosophy, and that...

Your wife make you watch Footloose again?

I ran this by my pastor.  He said "The principle is clear that church leadership in Pergamum should not have tolerated the doctrine of Balaam in their midst. And they should not have tolerated those to remain in their membership who held to this erroneous doctrine. But like all man-made terms...
