    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. And behind the scenes often unseen is the accompanying Spirit sent by Jesus to join us on our journey through life. What a comfort knowing He is with us, even in us who believe. Amazing unmerited favour of God to give us of...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Yes, we can hear the word of Christ as a matter of course. He speaks in real time, live. No need for a delayed telecast or replay. I listen out for Jesus's words to me each day and He speaks. I don't read the bibles any more as they caused me to get lazy in the discipline of listening and...

    Will you go to heaven when you die? - (or the other place)

    But of course we can know hey, as Paul said. This is fantastic. But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. Now we have received...

    Of course Christ is. To listen to the Spirit Christ sent to the church is normal. I am amazed to find that those who have studied the scriptures and the bible have not got a personal relationship with Christ's Spirit. They don't talk to Him, listen out for Him. They don't worship Him. Many...

    It was commanded for His people to cut the people of Jericho in pieces with the sword. Even the king, cut off his head. Absolutely. Agreed. Yet God's instructions was to not keep the Sabbath, march around Jericho 7 days. To kill innocent people, especially children and babies. Then later God...

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    How do you know He did? Were you there to listen to every word that came from Jesus's mouth? You wouldn't be basing this on the very few written accounts are you. Many would say that this would be really foolish. But until one receives revelation concerning this, they remain blind. Ever...

    You have a good there. It wasn't to the original 12 apostles, but spoken to 70 others. Luk 10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, The...

    By all means stick to the written sources, 73, 66, 80 books, to number a few, of the bibles available that contain God Precious Words of Truth. Maybe it's like with the historical Jesus, the Son of Man, when He was on earth delivering God's words He received from His Father to His own people...

    Christ Died for All

    The Holy Spirit in me knows what spirit is in or influencing another person. He does the testing of spirits before I can. He informs me of His findings so that I can know. Then I consult the Spirit of Christ to find out how He wants me to respond. It takes away the guesswork.

    Christ Died for All

    And this we will do with the mind of Christ which we possess. God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual...

    Are you in agreement with eachother that by Paul's reference to the word of Christ here he's refering to the bible. And that the bible is the word of Christ? Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual...

    Christ Died for All

    Now we have received the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. That's awesome! Great news!

    For the Holy Spirit then has an arsenal of potential weaponry to use in the defence of our faith. ALL Truth! That comes from Jesus. Where does Jesus get it from? His Source is His Father. This is where the Holy Spirit's complete arsenal of weaponry is located. It's not the scriptures or...

    Christ Died for All

    Please talk to us, testifying of what the Spirit is saying directly to you and is doing in you specifically. As those contributors of the scriptures wrote down what God said to them without having to refer to what someone had previously said, so please write down what God's Spirit says to you...

    Christ Died for All

    Yes, and after we are brought to life, born again, then we can hear God communicate with us directly. No need for a medium. But I acknowledge that scriptures are beneficial and profitable to point us to the Spirit of Christ. Then He, the Spirit of Truth will lead us into all truth. Jesus...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    God's words can be found in the pages of the bibles. Sure. But it is found wherever God speaks to angels and humans. In the heavenlies or in this material creation. I will never restrict God's word, EVERY word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Can you hear what He is saying to His Son...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    My My ongoing engagement is for the Church, those chosen out from the world, to enjoy the union with the Spirit of Christ. To hear Him, to speak to Him Who was sent to us from Jesus and His Father. To thanks Him for coming into us. Praise Him for the work He does in us and through us. And...

    The Church decided the canon. How do you know you have the correct canon?

    But just for the purpose of clarification, are you refering to 'the word of God' as God's communication with humans in a written form. That's judging by your reference to finger of God in stone. Yet you mentioned oral speech. Is that of God to humans. Or human to human? Who's doing the...

    And it is the Spirit of the same One Who is continuing to communicate His ongoing new revelations of truth throughout the life of the Church, from the first members to the last. And God is capable of preserving all this, His word, forever.

    Christ Died for All

    Yes, the Word of God is Jesus. Then there is the word of God that was spoken through prophets and Jesus. Then there's the word of God spoken through the church starting with Peter and has continued over the past 2000 years of the life of the church. Then the documented word of God that spans...
