I truly think the appropriateness of seeking these types of confirmations from God varies by the person and situation, as I think it is very hard to condemn them unless the indecisiveness is on a very clear biblical point (such as, "Lord, please let me know by the flip of this coin whether or not I ...

God's will is not found in the decision to take a left turn instead of a right in a life decision. That kind of thinking will drive you mad. His will is how you live your life in whatever situation you are in after turning left. Yes, I completely understand and agree. This is truly not a question o...

Thank you for the reply, and I find that extremely interesting. You certainly made it difficult to come away with a false impression by the manner of your appeal to the Lord.

I think this could be the key to where my thought is off base. David and other OT figures can in retrospect (often via exp...

Forgive me if this is covered elsewhere, but my searches didn't yield any relevant results. It seems to me that much of the arguing over NT prophecy is between those who believe that it is being fulfilled now or in the near (or undetermined) future, and those who believe that it was largely fulfille...
