Well...I have been pondering about these things and trying to put some things together lately, as there is a "religious" component and a state governmental component and sometimes a mingling of the two........there is the beast and there is Mystery Babylon, mother of harlots, who rides the...

I'm not sure I do either (lol) but I will try to explain the best I can at the moment. We were all baptized into His death and resurrection when we underwent water baptism. There is a biblical principle of "first the natural then the spiritual." (This is also why some prophets were...

1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Jhn 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the...

Amen, looking forward to that brother. Time has gone and is going so fast. All our days were written down before one of them came to be.

Sad but unfortunately true. This is another descriptive verse to add to the list: Psa 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? The church is attacking its own foundations now, the foundations of the faith......what can we liken that to?... reminds me of an auto-immune...

They are not irrelevant at all if they end up leading those who are following them to the false messiah. Time will tell, but we sure do need to be sober and alert in these days and looking to the Lord.

Amen. The bible just doesnt' teach us to find common ground with unbelievers. What it does say simply is that friendship with the world is enmity with God and that we are to come out from among unbelievers and not be unequally yoked with them, but be separate. In the world but not of it...

Washing of the water of the word. We don't take a bath just once in our life and then never bathe again....no, we bathe/wash regularly. We don't just read the bible cover to cover once and then never pick it up again - no, we are in the word reading and meditating on it regularly. The body is...

Amen, I understand all that and agree brother. I wasn't talking about the kingdom of God, but Israel has received her earthly kingdom back in these last days. No longer under Roman or other foreign rule and exiled out of the land but restored to the land and their own sovereignty. I think...

Maybe we could say both in a way brother. Because love fulfills those 10 Laws. And the written Law still serves to instruct and remind us. (Even the ordinances that were nailed to the cross still instruct in spiritual truths that they are a picture or allegory of.) But the moral/ethical laws...

It doesn't matter "how", but if you insist, it came like a download from heaven which temporarily short-circuited my brain. I was raised a Catholic and realized the shortcomings of that church early on. But I didn't really know for a long time quite how to regard it....it's like a hybrid of...

Amen. God is still hiding truths from the wise and learned and revealing them to little children. His Spirit is still the one who is leading us into all truth. We must become as little children.......I believe that is a matter of humility and where our dependence lies, on ourselves and other...

Israel received her kingdom back in 1948.......but it isn't necessarily all for good because sadly they still reject their true Messiah (except for a remnant). They are still looking for an earthly kingdom ruled by an earthly messiah king which is what caused them to reject Jesus when He came...

Brother...if I discern that someone or something is not of God (and discernment comes from God, from the Holy Spirit)......that is not the same thing as condemning them. Condemning/judging is for God to do. I know the Catholic church is not of God and Christ....because the LORD showed me and...

Amen, it is deep...and I'm easily overwhelmed these days. God has to keep things simple for me and draw me a picture, lol. ;) That's pretty literal...word pictures of scripture!

In the same sense that there is one God, but three persons as it were? And the Lord showed me one time that everything we receive or manifest after being saved flows out of what we already received at the first. It is the fountains of the deep springing up. Manifesting or unveiling what is...

I like the word "wholly" actually....because it brings me back to the idea of a "whole burnt offering". lol. I know the Lord may use different scriptures to teach different people....but that is just what is still on my mind at the moment. (Process slowly these days. lol.) But actually that...

Honestly, I think words matter. I don't even like the term Trinity myself...not sure it is hitting the mark. It's a man-made term. I'm concerned that words like theosis and divinization have potential to form slightly off kilter understandings in the mind which can be a thin edge of a wedge to...

Separate in the sense that they are more often experienced or undergone at different points in people's lives, but in another sense they are all of one, one baptism.....all of Christ.

John said Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire. I wonder if they are two separate baptisms. The first baptism of the Holy Spirit belongs to our coming out of Egypt (crossing Red Sea) and then a baptism of fire (depicted in crossing the Jordan at flood stage all the way back...
