    How to Test the Spirits?

    Is Jesus's Father modus operandi to lead us into temptation? So therefore does one need to ask Him each day to change that for us? Mat 6:11-13 Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

    How to Test the Spirits?

    I'm wondering why Jesus specifically taught His followers to pray, Our Father Who is in heaven....lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil (of the evil one). I guess Jesus knew from experience what it was like to be led into temptation by His Father. He wouldn't have wanted us to...

    How to Test the Spirits?

    Are you saying that God used His ability to manipulate Satan to get him to test Job by tempting him to curse God and die? Then later God used His ability to manipulate Satan again, to get him to test Jesus by tempting him when he offered Jesus the kingdoms of this world if He would worship him...

    Are you saying that God puts us through various temptations so we can learn to resist or overcome them?

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    Yes, it's great to know that Jesus has His Spirit going to and fro over the planet opening humans eyes and ears to hear and see the good news of Christ the Lamb already slain, the current Saviour and coming King. And that Christ has given His Spirit a quest to redeem humans from every tribe so...

    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    No way! But a measured 'time out' to repent for the purpose of being reconciled to their Creator. Absolutely!

    Everyone Goes to Heaven

    It's only good news for those who hear it as good news but for the rest it isn't good news and it will fall on deaf ears, be dismissed or rejected. This is the intent of the Giver of the good news. He only wants His own chosen elected ones to respond, no one else. When my own children were...

    Where did the Bible come from? - Shot out of a canon

    It may appear that Jesus died to save us from an avengeful God and for a loving God. Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness Luk 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed...

    Everyone Goes to Heaven

    It seems God Himself wrote down the 10 commandments. Ex 31:18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God. Therefore it is written, “thou shalt not kill" Ex 21:13 [KILL râtsach...

    That is a good point. It seems God Himself wrote down the 10 commandments. Ex 31:18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

    Everyone Goes to Heaven

    Th This is so commonly believed. It is understandable considering the history of the church and its teaching omitting the Spirit of Truth sent to build the church, provide for it and protect it. Yet it's comforting to know that He is sovereign and nothing can stop the Spirit accomplishing His...

    Everyone Goes to Heaven

    Maybe many of the children of Isreal would've believed what you do. And it is very understandable. I wouldn't condemn them for questioning their new God appointed leader. But they had a decision to make and it would not have been easy. It had the potential to bring division as it does today...

    What if, what IF someone heard God say to them something that contradicts what God Himself wrote down? What does that someone do?

    Everyone Goes to Heaven

    You would've read in your bible what a man said 2000 years ago. My sheep hear my voice. They won't listen to the voice of a stranger. They will even run from them. No fear of being led away. The Spirit within me, leads me, feeds me, protects me. No fear here brother. I'm just walking along by...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    I think I can understand why people place such importance on scripture. I once did too. But I'm so glad that God expanded my horizons that has taken me beyond the bounds of scripture and the bible. And being led beyond, has allowed me to see more of God, His ways and His plans. It's awesome...

    Hell's Population Clock

    It still baffles me when I come across statements like yours. What you are presenting is UR theology which is not found in the scriptures at all. You are dead right. It won't be found in the scriptures as its content is extremly limited so could never and will never give us anything near the...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    I'd agree with Paul, that it is profitable for certain things. Again, profitable but not essential. Milk is profitable but it isn't essential. There are so many other foods provided by God for us to survive and grow into a complete human. Scripture, like milk has become so limited. It may...

    Why not Everyone will be Saved

    I would add, all Dinine revelation is given by inspiration of God. All Divine dreams and visions are given by inspiration of God. Like many people have experienced, I love receiving things by inspiration of my God. I love receiving wisdom, discernment, prophecy as I'm being moved by the Spirit...

    The amazing thing is that the unrepentant angels who need to repent, be redeemed and reconciled to their Creator certainly will in time. When that is God hadn't revealed to me. It will be at some stage in the existence of God after those who have done their crime have done some time in the...
