Well I'm glad you showed up. I do believe we are to be led by the Holy Spirit...but he is also our Teacher...and does not teach outside of what is truth. The problem I have with personal revelation is that it is subjective at best and seductive at worst. Those are the things I was hoping to...

Aspen, its good that you acknowledge that witchcraft is evil...but the Bible indicates it is real...I don't mean three old hags over a boiling pot (although I am sure somebody somewhere has really done that) I'm not sure why you seem to think it is only superstition? The Bible also indicates...

Here it is: I worry that some are over fixated on experience and despise being told that the WORD is what we judge the experience by and that is never going to change. God created all things by the WORD. We are set free by the truth...not the experience. Jesus is the Living Word...not the...

Oh and now I'm having a tirade. Against you. You just cannot see that you have totally made this into a thread about yourself? I believe what Wormwood wrote a few posts back applies to you. Why don't you argue with him also?

Personal revelation is outside of scripture. It is not objective. It is subjective. One human being cannot lead others with their own experience. That, is how cults begin. Leading through personal revelation is nothing but a black hole. I understand it is the life's blood of many, and it...

I wonder what causes such blindness. We should not brag about anything but what Christ has done for us. I never wrote about experience. That, is what you wrote about and perhaps that is all you have. Again, and try and pay attention, that is not what this thread is even about. You may want...

This is just another typical tactic of those who cannot stand to have real questions put before them. You don't like what I say, so, in your economy I must be angry I consider that a cheap shot. You can write holy all day long, but that does not make you better than me or any other Christian...

The op is not about being close to God. It is about personal revelation. Is that what you are trying to discuss? That is what I was responding to. However, you did not touch on anything I wrote. Instead, you wrote about how glorious it is to be in God's presence. You simply introduced a...

OK...so you have seen more than Paul? You are closer to God than Paul who stated we can only see as though through a dark glass? It is concerning when Christians refuse to believe what the Bible actually states and want to believe and worse, cause others to believe, that what they write holds...

changed my mind

Um...I see this thread has gone from May into June, so maybe it's not too late to discuss it abit. I'll just call it like I see it. You keep saying we....I have a problem with that. When someone says we we we what do they really mean? I start to think (sorry if I don't 'feel' it) that the...

Sarcastic much? someone comes here for help and you just lay it on, eh? I've read several of your responses and it seems you just want to be a smart aleck. Seriously This, ^^ is about all we can do. People make choices that affect others. We cannot change another person and God knows...

The Bible states that the works of the flesh degenerate into witchcraft. The problem I am seeing in some of the responses in this thread, is that Christians have not really studied their Bible as they think they have. They have the idea that God is speaking about Harry Potter, but He isn't...

The real problem is Christians believing in fantasy and yet having a hard time believing the Bible. Don't you know what the Bible says about conjecture and vain imaginations? How's that for logic? I never denied demons indwelling human beings. You made that up.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and...

awwww...thanks aspen2 :) I think that we need to check ourselves on a regular basis so I think the op is a good one too There is that verse in Psalms: Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; Psalm 139:23

It replaces various "doctrines" with the truth. The truth is according to life in the Spirit...not human calculations. What is being spoken of here episkopos, is not human calculations. The Bible is the word of God. That, is the word and the truth and your experience means absolutely nothing...

You know really Suhar...you need to grow up or something...quit whining...you are claiming I said something I never said. Is that what you do? Play the victim if someone questions or disagrees with you? It just gets really hard to even try to understand when someone does that, know what I...

Christianity can be very very messy. And painful...very painful. But frankly I down myself enough without someone blasting everyone on how nasty we are. God fixed that. Wow, you sure seem to have an awful big chip on your shoulder Mr. rjp...I know you from another forum, don't bother I...

Well you see, that is not biblically sound. Of course one's walk is experential...BUT and that is one big but, it should not come before the sound teaching of the word and the truth of the Bible. Everything we do on our own is subjective and you and the op here, are, frankly, speaking a...
