    Christianity as a Closed System

    Ok - so you are going to continue to think that anyone knocking at your door, and even with their voice is "Rude" and it makes you feel bad, so you are not going to change anything. What I don't get is why you write: The most important commandment is this: “Hear, O Israel, the Eternal One is...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    I liked the post - it does seem like that is how we often treat the Lord!

    Christianity as a Closed System

    My thinking is that we should listen to the Lord - and that to you is "no use"??? Or perhaps you think it "speculative"?

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Jesus voice is not contradictory with Himself, but your thoughts are not His thoughts! And what are you asking with "How that could be a "closed system"? I wrote "As for me I see Christianity as people who desire to follow Jesus Christ by listening to His voice spoken to them." - so are you...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Well - I understand that people do have different meanings for things. As for me I see Christianity as people who desire to follow Jesus Christ by listening to His voice spoken to them. Therefore a Christian is truly someone who personally know Jesus Christ and follow His voice - as in His...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Who - the whole church? All the Protestants? Is that what you hear? John wrote what the Lord asked to the angel at seven churches - and while all seven had their issues and all seven were told to let those who have an ear to hear, hear what the Spirit had to say - none were told that the Spirit...

    Christianity as a Closed System

    Making a statement and presenting that statement as "Fact" is preposterous [contrary to reason or common sense; utterly absurd or ridiculous:] Christianity is of course anything but a "A closed system" as shown by what Jesus Christ said: Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    Deut 8:19,20 .... I testify against you today that you will surely perish. “Like the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you would not listen to the voice of the LORD your God. We are saved by faith and faith comes from hearing Him (Rom 10:17 So faith...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    Now this thread was about tongues being from the Enemy - those dark spiritual forces we battle with. That really doesn't make sense. It is not that the enemy would try to fool or trick someone, but that as Christians we can take out thoughts and what is happening to Jesus Christ and get out...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    I don't think I responded to the above question yet - The answer is close, but is not the Word of God we are preaching - according to the bible!!! We are not 'Bible Thumpers', but Christians - or did you not notice? So we do not follow the Bible but Jesus Christ! Now as the Teacher, it is...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    Which brings me back to the second question you had: "DO you believe that there are GOOD people in every religoin?" Of course not!! Have you not even read that only God is good??? Luke 18:19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. People are not...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    The important thing is to know Jesus Christ!! And if you know Jesus Christ you will know the He is the Word of God! That is His name! And He is called the Word of God because He has the words of God! They, along with all things, were given to Him by His Father! Now He does not judge anyone...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    In the Bible we find that as you judge so shall you be judged. Now you believe I need to Bible up - despite the fact that I use Scriptures to make my point and to reprove what you are saying. Also despite my testimony that the first words the Lord told me were "Read Your Bible". So your...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    So did I give you enough "Bible Up" in the above post?? How about a testimony for you about the Lord? I quickly check your last 14 post and only found one little set of verses from the Bible quoted by you!! And they were what I quoted to you, which was: Prov 3:5-7 Trust in the LORD with all...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    So - the Teacher or a teacher? Religion is man's understanding of God!! And so "Doctrine" is also man's understanding of God. The Law, meaning God's rules are God's, and not men's, however even trying to fulfill the Law (God's rules) without actually listening to Him do not give you the...
