    Misunderstandings about hearing the Lord

    Thanks for sharing your experience. Mine on the other hand is different now. The less I read the bible the easier it is to hear His voice. I used to consult the Holy Bible at the expense of the Holy Spirit. Since I started to neglect the bible and started consulting the Spirit I began to...

    Are the words in the Bible "imperfect"?

    The Holy Spirit must bring us to understanding the perfection of inerrancy and completion of insufficiency, for He speaks and shows the words of Christ Who continues to speak new things that have never entered His mind or ever been spoken by Him previously.

    Are the words in the Bible "imperfect"?

    And equally, is not God able to select writers over the past 2000 years including all of the faults, misunderstandings, limitations and biases of that individual in mind so that what is written would equal precisely what God wanted to be written?

    Are the words in the Bible "imperfect"?

    I think if I were ever to refer anyone to a bible it would not be an English bible then. For I'd be wanting to point them to one that gives a very clear message from God. LOVE GOD! BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED YOU!!

    Are the words in the Bible "imperfect"?

    I agree. But we as born again followers of the Messiah have been accused of denying the supernatural. Like believing, saying and practising the denial and rejection of hearing the voice of God communicating to us today as He did in the past. Be it by means of dreams, visions, audibly from...

    Misunderstandings about hearing the Lord

    I appreciate and I'm encouraged by your expressed desire KP. I think the part of the communication that is under emphasised and practiced to a lesser degree is the listening, hearing and understanding. Math 13:13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see...

    Misunderstandings about hearing the Lord

    I'm so glad for you. It's great to hear about people's relationship with their Creators. It's like They designed and created us so that They can have a dynamic, personal, interactive relationship with who They created. It wonderful to have this daily, moment by moment conversation with Them...

    Misunderstandings about hearing the Lord

    Matt 10:34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set[a] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own...

    Misunderstandings about hearing the Lord

    This may not answer your question but its the best I can do right now. For the most part of my life I had turned to the bible and studied it and lived my life by it. It was my source of knowledge that I depended on for just about everything in my daily life. Whenever I wanted to know something...

    Misunderstandings about hearing the Lord

    Well put. Thanks for spending the time to explain this. I can relate to it. I too made the bible an idol and since repenting of this my relationship with my Creators has changed and revelation had to come through a new means. It is a challenging thing to retrain my mind, the way I process...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    I'm not sure if we can say this with any certainty. Unless it was revealed to someone by God directly as it isn't stated in the records within the bible that I know of. Some may assume he was. Speculation by using the extremely limited information from the very limited bible book doesn't make...

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    Another question - Does God change His mind somewhere along the line regarding His granting free will? When and why does He take it away from His creations?

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    Question - Does God change His mind somewhere along the line? When did or does it change His love for His creations?

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    That's very true. I may have to ask for more wisdom.

    Why didn't God destroy Satan at the beginning?

    Agreed. I'm looking forward to Satan's redemption and reconciled to God. Love it. Get so much joy knowing this will be a reality. And certainly is a comfort Gottservant.

    Misunderstandings about hearing the Lord

    Thanks for your reply. This may be a good start for those who, like myself, made the bible the only source of truth to us from God. And there may be a very few, again like myself, who made the bible the only go to source and the thing I put between God and myself. It was my teacher...
