I have heard about that book . A man gave me a copy to read , but its a new version and I really could not read it . Someone said I should get an earlier version . Perhaps I will try and read an older version . Men change things these days and put their own meanings into stuff . Anyway , PUT those hands up and let us rejoice in the LORD . I am looking forward to the cooler days of autumn , but even till then , JUST LEAP UP AND PRAISE THE LORD .

I guess they had to modernize the language like they did with the Bible and ruin that too! Yes, get an original version. It is an excellent book, and I think you would enjoy it.

The peddler in your parables reminds me of the devil tempting Jesus in the wilderness. That is how he comes, bringing half truths. That is exactly what the OSAS believers do.

Bunyan was a Puritan preacher. He was also famous for The Heavenly Footman. I have never heard of "The Heavenly Footman." I loved "Pilgrim's Progress" and have read it at least 4 times. I read "The Holy War" once.

Frienduff, I love those allegorical posts of yours. Did you post them over at Worthy Forums? They need to hear them.

The thing we don't know is when the sin you commit will be the one that crosses the line. For some, they may get many chances. The children of Israel committed a lot of sins before God said enough and wouldn't let them enter the land of Canaan. In the case of Ananias and Sapphira, one sin was it and they were immediately struck dead. Lot's wife didn't get a second chance and she became a pillar of salt. We shouldn't take chances, and we need to fear the Lord.

You certainly can push God too far and reach a point of no return where God's Spirit no longer deals with you. The stories in the Bible are given to us as warnings.

You certainly can push God too far and reach a point of no return where God's Spirit no longer deals with you. The stories in the Bible are given to us as warnings. YES . And its why an apostel once said they are written for our admonition , SO WE DO NOT DO THE EVIL THEY DID . OH YES , EVERY Example in that BIBLE IS FOR OUR GOOD so that we do not the evil they did . GOD don't change . THE angels that sinned and kept NOT their FIRST ESTATE he has reserved unto judgment SO too if we keep not our first estate in CHRIST , pure and faithful to the end . IN fact , if after even knowing the way of righteousness one goes back to the hog pen and is overcome , THE LATTER END is even worse than had they never even known HIM . THEM warnings are REAL and for a reason . GOD desires none to perish so He sends warnings to repent and to not do evil but to do good . AND he used and uses lambs to remind all to do the same . As JESUS once said . And he who endures to the END shall be saved . Now hands up triple sevens , for it is time for a festival of praise to be sounded and given UNTO THE LORD who is able to keep us from falling , ONLY WE BETTER HEED HIM and all sound doctrine , OR WE WILLL .
