Why are so many people spiritually blind?

[goodlife]

The eyes are one of our choicest possessions, so indispensable to our complete happiness. They enable us to enjoy the vision of the starry heavens above, the beauties and marvels of our mundane sphere, and the very sunlight itself. By use of our eyes and our reasoning faculties we can appreciate that God indeed exists and that he made all things beautiful in their time (Rom. 1:20)

And your Corinthians is way off the mark - 16 and 17 from the St James Bible

"16 to preach the gospel in the [regions] beyond you, [and] not to boast in another man's sphere of accomplishment. 17 But "he who glories, let him glory in the LORD."

Leave Bible commentary to the professionals. You are a disgrace in the way you are tying to manipulate texts and preach at folk here.

17:51 on a Friday - Did you think I left? Did it take you over 24 hours to sort out a reply? You really should go you are a poor excuse for a human being let alone a supposed god fearing one. Pathetic, pathetic man.

You are going to be judged by your god not only that but you are hypocrite

[DTCwordfan]

he has to consult with his "truth and propaganda" controllers before responding, dave, armed with the latest twisting of the good book. They are a damnation to modern society and our youngsters.

//Is it wrong to want to defend a good name when it is slandered?//

God hasn't been slandered. The evidence has been examined and he is guilty as charged.

//I am proud of our God//

What a very strange moral code you have, Truthabounds. Your God was a monster and you're proud of him.

[Elderman]

A mother, recently wrote the following: My five-year-old used to have nightmares every night, awakening crying and screaming; he would wet the bed every night. Doctors had said there was nothing organically wrong with him. Then after learning about the importance of being discriminating in choosing television shows to watch, I realized that my children were watching too many monster pictures on television. Now there are no more monster pictures nor shows that include violence and there’s no more bed-wetting.” Perhaps you may profit similarly by regulating what you are viewing on television.

Elderman what has that got to do with the price of bread?

[Truthabounds]

Unlike the poor pathetic few on here, I do have a life outside AB and do not spent 24/7 on this site. As to having to take instruction from “truth & propaganda” controllers - the only one who controls my life is Almighty God. I use many Bible translations not just the KJV and wrong again -DTCF I do have the correct understanding of that Corinthians scripture. I am boasting in the Almighty God and not in any man. I am not twisting scripture – you are!
Naomi: Yes wrong again! God has been slandered. From the very beginning when Satan deceived Eve, God has been slandered and you are following the same path.
As for being proud of my God, yes I am. As I have stated before the God I worship is not the god you know. That god is vicious and evil, and I just hope that before it is too late you realise that and come to know the True God.
Despite the urgency of the situation, most of earth’s inhabitants are not concerned about the approaching Armageddon. They mock and ridicule those who warn them of its imminent arrival. True Christians are not surprised by this. They remember the warning recorded by the apostle Peter: “You know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: ‘Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.’”—2 Peter 3:3, 4.

Truthabounds, oh dear! Truth clearly hurts. ;o)

[Truthabounds]

You should know!

[boxtops]

Yes, Truthabounds, we've all heard all this already.

[Elderman]

Yes, where is the good news to be found today? Only in God’s Word, the Bible - truly a unique. What splendid panorama the Bible opens up to us, extending from the beginnings of creation, down through all mankind’s history into these present critical times, and on through the grand millennium of Christ’s glorious reign! And yet, this book of good news was recorded by just ordinary folk like us—devoted men selected byGod, and empowered by his spirit to write his message. God saw to it also that it was preserved for us, against all attempts to contaminate or destroy it. The “good news” has come down through the centuries in the form of sixty-six “little books,” of varying lengths and content, but each contributing its indispensable part to the most magnificent literary work ever to appear on the face of this earth—the Holy Bible. (Ps. 19:7-11)

[naomi24]

Truthabounds, oh, well-constructed answer! ;o)

Elderman, marvellous! Is that it then? You did say the matter was concluded - or were you telling fibs?

[boxtops]

Jolly good....

[Redheadthere]

Are Elderman and Truthabound of the same denomination?

Religion is the greatest factor in blinding people to spiritual fulfilment.

The Good News is that the belief in all forms of witchcraft including those of the "great faiths" reduces as populations become more educated.

No,spiritually-minded person is one who is guided by God’s spirit.
