If You followed my discussion above you will see there are different types of self control. In Regards to lusts of the flesh, yes, self control is beneficial, but in regards to submitting to the Holy Spirit Self control is detrimental. I Wish there was a different word to differentiate the two...

Camping's theories were Just that, theories. He based his eschatology on endless calculations from scripture... in other words he was applying human logic and intellect to the extreme to interpret the Word of God, which is exactly what I am saying you and others are doing here in the inverse by...

I Didn't assume anything I asked a rhetorical question. The idea being to point to the commonality in all believers of the Spirit being our teacher and guide in all Truth.

What You see as a commonly held misunderstanding has been confirmed as a Spiritual truth by the Spirit of Truth in me. Have you ever had the Holy Spirit confirm a Truth to you before? If so you will understand this. Much of Christianity is based on this, from doctrines such as the deity of...

You Have the Spirit of Truth in you, do you not? (Rhetorical ?) You have the Unction of the Holy Ghost? Do You trust in HIM to guide you into all Truth or do you trust your own intellect? My Intellect has let me down so many times I cannot count them so I have learned to lean on the Unction of...

The Holy Spirit substantiates my claims, as does Old Testament Prophecy which refers to Judah as the Fig tree, as well as History which has Israel symbolized by the fig tree on its coinage.... It is the very essence of scripture interpreting scripture. Parables are there to conceal the...

A strict literal reading of Jesus cursing the fig tree is that it is just a lesson on Faith, But there is more to this action of cursing the fig tree that was symbolic of Israel, and prophetic of what was to come upon them. The P'shat meaning of this cursing is not contradicted by this deeper...

I Am not religious about what kind of music can and cannot be played in church, but I do find the Old Hymns so much more Spiritual and espousing deeper truths than some of the modern stuff.

Like I quoted above to others, You have to go beyond the P'shat meaning of the text. For example, was Jesus just teaching the apostles a lesson on faith when he cursed the fig tree, or was there a deeper meaning to it which was fulfilled in 70 ad with the destruction of the temple and the...

Your argument is largely a semantic one. When the Spirit is in control, We are not in control. To maintain self control and refuse to allow the Spirit to control us is to quench the Spirit, Thus self control in this aspect Hinders and quenches the Spirit. The Bible speaks highly of self...

Point being, You can be a harlot or a wife depending on your spiritual standing with the LORD. A Nation compared to olive tree is referring to the Light it provides for the burning lamp, a nation compared to a figtree refers to the Spiritual fruit it is producing or in the case of bareness the...

Why not?

And yet it can be both a fig tree and an olive tree, Just like God called Israel both a Wife and Harlot.

Do not confuse "confusion" with revelation. Confusion comes from the mind of man, the confusion of denominationalism is sourced in the intellect and Hubris of man in that intellect. Revelation from God often times will appear as confusion to the man that operates in their intellectual Hubris...

I Am glad to hear that, and my question was not meant to get you on the defensive but to show you all believers experience this whether fundamentalist or Charismatic. God's ways and understandings are so much bigger than our understanding, that is the point I am making. Sometimes we are led to...

Has the Holy Ghost never Spoken through you? Have you never explained to a brother a concept from scripture that you never understood before but the unction of the Holy Ghost gave you the ability to explain that concept lucidly and clearly to that brother? Have you never heard of missionaries...

As I mentioned to @Stumpmaster somewhere above you are not able to see beyond the simple P'shat meaning of these verses and texts to the deeper meanings of them. The Allegory used escapes the person who does not see the deep things of God in Scripture, which is a symptom of a reliance on human...

A Person led by the Spirit is not in control of what He is doing but is submitted to the Spirit. As An example of this a person led by the Spirit may speak to a Brother or sister in Christ and not know what they are saying but the Words are coming directly from the Holy Spirit to that person...

The fig tree has represented Israel for Millennia, and is found on Judean coinage from the time of Christ. When Jesus cursed the fig tree it was representative of Israel rejecting their Messiah. OT Prophecy speaks of this rejection of the Messiah, and the fig tree not bearing fruit. (see...

What I saw was also a momentary glimpse as well, But I will never forget it. I was walking in a field and suddenly there was light around me all the flowers and the trees began to bud on top of buds (I do not know how else to explain it). The Light was like a dozen rainbows as the light shown...
