    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Take the risk, share away on this forum. Just one direct revelation. Maybe the latest one you received in the past week or so.

    Please share the revelation as we may be encouraged by it.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Oh, OK cool. I guess what I appreciate is the freedom to receive revelation through any means, that it, any means the Spirit chooses to use. Even the bibles, the 73, 66 or 81 book collection.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Sure, thanks for highlighting that. Yes, the Spirit of Truth is our essential source of Truth. The Holy Spirit has been given the task of leading us into all truth and is the God appointed Moderator. I certainly don't need any other medium or entity, be it human or spiritual to be a...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Yes, and yet to not be short-sighted and miss some of the larger long term goals God has told us about 1. when He downloaded them into our spirit through His Spirit directly 2. and through other means. You are right, those who are blind cannot even see the Kingdom Of God. Yet we can see it...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I wonder how many people said that to Jesus that His parables belongs in some fairy tale story. And Paul an apostle to the Romans when he told his story, for example, about a potter and his clay. It belongs in a fairy tale story??? Who told you that they will never hear the good news of Jesus...

    God is working throughout Their creation with no holds barred so yes They are working in every environment including the environment of the institutional church.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    The answer is simple. Whatever the Spirit wants to achieve through this host He will certainly accomplish. I don't carry any burden here. The overall work is His and all I do is praise God during and after the event for the privilege of being used by Them.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    If we fill a prison with people who have done wrong and are deserving of incarceration, but during their life sentence one person remembers something someone had spoken to them years prior about a Person who can forgive them of their wrongdoing and provide freedom from their imprisonment. This...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    How did you or whoever you got it from come to this conclusion? Who said God appointed a book as His Spirit's source of Truth? And in your mind is it the 66, 73 or 81 book collection? I get tired of this false teaching and practice of putting restraints on our Creators. Or should I say, trying...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Again who comes up with this stuff? Who first said this is the main criteria? A certain person or after a general consensus? And who gave them the right to close it, lock it and throw away the key. This is so wrong. Then to go that step further to say that we are not to add to this document...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Fair enough. I guess John may have not seen what he thought he saw or heard what he thought he heard. Rev 21:9&10 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    And greater still, those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons and daughters of God. Not just the past teachings of Jesus the Christ when He was in human form but those who hear His voice throughout each day and follow Him. Why seek Me amoung the dead. I have risen and been glorified. I...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Great point. I'm with you. I am not going to consider myself, a Gentile, to be greater or even equal to the natural branches, Israelites. Nor will I put them down in any way. In fact I pray for them as they have a very special place in my heart. For whose names are above the 12 gates leading...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I would suggest thinking along the lines of what Jesus said to His first disciples who served with Christ in the flesh (3 years or so) and with His Spirit after that. Who and where did they serve? The Jews in Israel. Who and where will WILL they serve in Jesus's millennial kingdom? Then...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Yes, I wanted to put my Father in heaven first above anyone and anything. The hardest thing was when I realised the bible became more precious than seeking to know the Spirit Who God the Father had put in me, to take possession of me. That He was to be my go to person not the bible thing. It...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    So is this like, if Jesus was operated on because His kidney was shot and He received a kidney transplant, that replacement kidney is now a part of Jesus, and that kidney can now identify as Jesus? If so, then me being inside of Jesus, a descendant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob means I can...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    I was wondering how familiar we are with God speaking His words, communicating His thoughts to us beyond the shorter 66, 73 or little more extensive 81 books of the bibles? Personally, over the past few years my diet, as it were, has not include the bible. I have fed on what the Spirit has to...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    I was wondering who originally came to this conclusion? I don't know how many believe this but I hope it's only a few. It's a challenge not to conclude that they mustn't have experienced the ongoing interaction with the Living God and their moreso, experienced God communicating directly with...
